CHAPTER THIRTY “Move!” Two of the soldiers behind Marcus pushed him toward the passage up the stairs while Lord Clifford watched him closely with both hands behind him, his countenance showing signs of intense contempt. Marcus grunted as the soldiers continued pushing him from behind, not minding the fact that he was going up the stairs with his hands bound together. “What is happening? Is that the way to the Royal Palace?” Lord Stephan appeared from a corner of the palace, glaring at the soldiers who halted instantly with their lips sealed, and their eyes stealing glances at Lord Clifford who was facing the gate of the palace. “I am certain that I wasn’t talking to animals! Where were you taking him to? Why isn’t he yet in the Royal Prison?” The General’s tone was resonant, but the soldiers were skeptical about giving him a response, as they were not sure of the best way to present the situation to him.The General and Lord Clifford were always at loggerheads with each other, dis

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE “I see…” Clifford returned his gaze to Marcus whom he stared at with a smirk on his face, while he thought about the numerous ideas that ran through his mind. “I don’t think keeping him in the Royal Prisons is a good idea. I am certain that he is very deadly, and could escape in a Twinkie of an eye. Don’t be deceived by his appearance, people like this have very powerful mana cores, and they will be able to take down ten soldiers with a single strike.” Clifford paused for a while without looking away from Marcus who knew he was telling the truth. At that time, Marcus’s nervousness grew at an intense speed, and he wasn’t sure of what to do. He looked at his hands which were tightly bound together, and then he realized that it was going to be very difficult to escape from the soldiers just in case he had walked into a trap. Looking around him, he counted the fifteen soldiers who were surrounding him, mapping out strategies on how to defend himself and also attack

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT The moment the soldiers set their eyes on the council member, they stood still while they waited for him to approach. He sauntered toward them from the point where he stood, lifting the edge of his garment as he walked down to them without taking his eyes away from Marcus who was nervously standing with his hands bound together. “I hope I haven’t made a terrible mistake,” Marcus whispered to himself, and then he turned around in search of the General who was still nowhere to be found. At that point, he could only imagine what was going to happen to him if things didn’t go as planned, and his heartbeat increased again as though his heart was attempting to finish up a race. “Lord Clifford!” One of the soldiers said as they saluted the council member who stood in front of them with his hands clasped behind him. He observed the soldiers for a while, and when he was done with his observation, he turned to look at Marcus who struggled not to run away at the sight o

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN “No, not at all! We can continue.” Marcus responded to Titus who continued to look at him even when the soldiers he had beckoned arrived in front of him and bowed slightly. “Bind him! We have a prisoner to take to the Royal Prisons!” Titus pointed to Marcus, and even though the soldiers had so much doubt about his words, they decided to do just as he had instructed.One of the soldiers pulled out a strong rope from underneath his single, and then he exchanged glances with his companion before they started to walk toward Marcus. To their astonishment, Marcus Willingly extended his hands toward them while he waited for them to bind his hands. While still struggling to deal with the fact that Marcus was not moved by what they were doing, neither was he interested in what they were doing as he turned to look at Titus who had a scary smile on his face. When the soldiers were done binding Marcus, they turned to look at Titus who observed Marcus for a while just to

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX For the second time, Marcus thought about the words he heard from the General and realizing that it was the only way that he was going to be able to get into the palace without being attacked, he grunted at the fact that he was left with no choice than to agree with what he said. He grunted again, and then he stole a glance at some of the soldiers who refused to leave their positions and were patiently waiting to get a command from their General. “I hate that I am even thinking about this, General. This is really dangerous, and I don’t want anything to go wrong.” “Maybe that’s the price you have to pay for your freedom. You have no other choice, Marcus.” Titus said calmly, looming at Marcus whose countenance was enough to tell that he was greatly troubled and unable to make a decision. Marcus let go of some of the air he had taken into his lungs, and then he discarded his deep concern so that he could be able to freely agree to what the General suggested. “Ver

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE When he was certain that the soldiers were out of earshot, Marcus turned to look at the General who left him at once and continued walking toward the direction he had his eyes on. Marcus joined him almost immediately and after a few steps, they stood in front of each other with Titus holding onto his sword with his left hand just in case Marcus was still a threat. “I am sure you won't be needing that, especially now.” “Well, you never can tell. You might decide to be funny, and I wouldn’t hesitate to draw my sword.” Titus responded with a smirk, looking at Marcus who chuckled softly before he nodded with a smile on his face. “This better be good. Why did you take me away from my soldiers?” “We can’t trust anyone at this moment…” Marcus said with a whisper, and then he turned to look at some of the soldiers who had their eyes fixed on them. Titus joined him shortly after, and after a few seconds of staring, they returned their gazes to each other. “If the Kin
