Commander Rylan staggered and almost fell to the ground as he was unable to get to Adrian before he dodged the blade, taking two steps backward. “Are you okay?” Adrian asked as soon as the Commander had regained his balance, staring as he took a deep breath. “I am fine,” The Commander nodded, staring at Adrian while he tried to imagine how he was able to dodge the dagger. Looking to his right, he saw the blade plunged into the wall, his wide eyes staring with his mouth agape. “Oh no.” He gasped as soon as he recognized the symbol on the handle of the short blade, returning his gaze to Adrian. “I think they decided to come to us before we go to them, my liege.” He remarked, his eyes sparking with apprehension. Yet, Adrian remained calm, his eyes in search of whoever was responsible for the dagger that was thrown at him. “This is really going to be fun.” He chuckled softly, and with a smirk on his face, he turned to the left, his attention drawn to the silent footsteps tha

“Not at all…” Adrian gave a very quick response, shaking his head. “I will not be there for the party.” He continued, his tone low but very audible. The Commander was still silent, hoping to get the exact meaning of what he had in mind. Adrian cleared his throat, and then he inched much closer until there was just a meter space between him and the Commander. He looked him in the eyes, allowing him to see the rage that was burning inside his orbs. “But I will be there.” He added, throwing the Commander into confusion.Rylan thought about his utterance, but nothing made sense. “How do you mean, Shadow Monarch?” He asked anxiously, hoping that Adrian was going to give him a more detailed response. Adrian inhaled sharply, and then he let out the hot air through his lungs, allowing it to pass through his nostrils. The Commander was still eager to know what his plan was, but he seemed to be taking his time to break his silence. “I am going to come in as a ghost, Commander Rylan.” H

“I came as soon as I heard that you sent for me, Shadow Monarch.” Commander Rylan bowed profoundly until his head touched the ground.He stayed that way, awaiting the moment when Adrian was going to instruct him to lift his head, his fingers almost trembling in nervousness. Silently, his heart thudded, his eyes attempting to steal a glance at Adrian. “I am sorry for my lateness, my liege.” He added, worried that he may have aroused the anger of the Shadow Monarch. Adrian sighed softly, and then he leaned forward, taking a deep breath. “Get up, Commander Rylan.” He said exactly what the commander had hoped for since his back was beginning to make him feel very strange. “Thank you, my liege,” Rylan grunted as soon as he stood erect, and then it was time for him to expect the reason why he had been summoned. He could only stare at Adrian for a couple of seconds before he eventually looked away, careful of every action he made. Adrian stood up from the chair that almost looked like

Maya chuckled softly, but clearly, she didn’t understand the amount of sensation that was going all over Adrian’s body. He couldn’t count how many times he had sighed, holding onto the smile on his face. “Why does this seem very personal to you, Adrian?” Maya finally asked the question that had been nestled in her mind for a very long time.She didn’t just know where to start from, struggling to find the most suitable words to use at that moment. Adrian sighed heavily, and then he cleared his throat, his expression plain and unreadable. “That’s because this is very personal for me, Maya.” He finally broke his silence, but the lady still needed to understand what he meant, staring with her brows furrowed. It almost seemed as though she needed to beg for a response, but just before she was ready to break the silence, Adrian continued with a low but audible tone. “I was forced out of this City by the same people who killed your husband, Maya.” Adrian paused for a while, veins of an

CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE As soon as Adrian opened the door, he saw Maya seated on the bed, holding her son with a smile on her face.Her beam was enough to cover the pain that she had endured, and the moment she lifted her face to look at Adrian, she waved at him, causing Seth to turn to him as well.The little boy was so happy that he had to run to Adrian, embracing him tightly. “Thank you so much, Sir!” he said with tears in his eyes, sniffling very loudly.Adrian sighed, and with a smile on his face, he nodded, patting the boy on his shoulder. “That’s not a problem, Seth.” He paused for a while, but he didn’t stop his smile. “I am glad that your mother is finally okay.” He sighed in relief, and then he waited until the little boy let go of him before he finally began to walk up to Maya who had been staring at him from the moment he walked into the room. She adjusted slowly, and then she waited until he was close enough before she could break her silence. “What would I have done i

“I know, you don’t…” Adrian gave a quick response, holding onto his smile. “But you will understand soon.” He added, inching closer to the bed. Seth was forced to watch him reach for his pocket again, but this time he took out a bottle containing a whitish liquid. Turning to Seth, Adrian maintained his smile, and then with a calm tone, he requested, “I need you to look around, Seth. Could you find me some water? It will help with your mother.” “Yes!” At the mention of his mother, Seth sprang up from the bed, rushing out of the room at once.He moved as though he knew where he was, but Adrian was not so much bothered.“He seems smart.” He whispered, certain that he was going to be able to carry out the task.Maya was no longer jerking, but her condition had not become any better. She was hardly breathing, her fingers moving from one direction to the other as though she was trying to point to something nonexistent or probably invisible. Adrian moved closer to her, and then he ope
