chapter sixty nine
The air blew gently as Kael's grip on his sword was firm. "What are you doing here? And don't tell me you accidentally stumbled up right here," he said with his eyebrows arched. "Have you been following me?""Follow you?" Selene scoffed. "And why would I do that? I didn't even know someone was here. I can because I was throaty." She replied, looking beyond Kael. Selene pushed the sword back, walking past him. She slowly took off her clothes and looked back at Kael. "Are you coming?" "And why would I do that?" Kael unsheathed his sword. "Do you think you can win him?" Selene asked again, walking into the pool. "Is that why you are here? To know if I could win the fight or not. Did my uncle send you?" Kael looked at her with anger. "Enough with the talk about my father. I don't even know who the hell he is, not until the death of my mother." Selene said, submerging into the river. Kael looked around to make sure she was not being followed or it was not a trap. "I thought..." he
chapter sixty eight
" You can't mean that." Jeremy said wit disbelief. He let out a slow smirk and looked at Selene. " Are you asking me to kill the fucking king?" he said grabbing his sword like he was going to murder her for even thinking of killing the king. " You just said you are going to take revenge for me. Are you telling me you don't love me to go to the end of the earth for me?" Selene said mockingly. " So much for love." " Can you hear yourself? You are asking me to kill the most powerful man in the world and here you are saying it as if it was easy." Jeremy replied with his eyebrow raised. " So you can't do it?" Selene said again folding her hands. Silence. Jeremy took a few steps backward like he was going to run at the count of three. " I am getting married to the one person who can get me closer to what I want." " Really? And you think he is going to leave all the princess in the kingdoms and get married to you?" Jeremy laughed, his gaze fixed on Selene. " Well, I don't thi
Chapter sixty seven
The girl looked at Dareth and smirked. " You want me to get married to that brat?" she asked slowly with her eye brows arched. " That best holds the key to everything I want and you are going to do exactly what I say." Dareth said gazing into her eyes. " And what if I don't?" Selena said looking at her father with disgust. " You wanted to be my daughter didn't you? You wanted to be seen and respected. Do you think I came all this way because I was being nice? Life didn't give it to me on a plater of gold!" he yelled at her " I fought for it. I killed for it!" " You mean how you killed your brother and stole his Hakana?" Selena said with vermin in her block. One could think she was siding with Kael. Dareth's hand went into the thin air again and this time, he tried to restrain himself. " I don't see why I should hit you, Selena. You are saying this because you don't know what real power look like. I am not asking though. I am commanding you." Dareth said walking out of her sight
chapter seventy six
" Have you taken a man's life before?" Dareth asked staring at Zeuxis. The boy looked at him for a bit before gulping down the thick saliva at the back of his throat. " No." Zeuxis said looking at his face. " Childish! And yet, you challenged him. He is not a boy anymore because he has taken a man's life. He killed my son." Dareth said angrily. " If you are going to be able to take him down then you need to take a life." " My father's." Zeuxis's face met with Dareth. " Not necessarily, your father's. You are going to kill a man here in my home. One of my men perhaps." Dareth said walking towards one of his two men who were his personal guards. Zeuxis looked at him, " Are they just going to die because you want me to kill them?" Dareth bursted into a serious laughter. " Who wants to die? Do you want to die?" " No." Zeuxis said immediately frowning his face. His breath was a little shallow as he tried to breath through his mouth. " Good. That instinct of not wanting to die is
chapter seventy five
The words hit like a bombshell the moment Dareth finished speaking."What did you just say?" Zeuxis’s eyes locked onto him."You heard me, boy." Dareth stepped closer. "Of course I know what I’m asking of you—and I know it’s difficult." His hands landed firmly on Zeuxis’s shoulders."Difficult? It’s damn near impossible. You want me to murder my father and seize the throne. And as if that’s not enough, you’re asking me to make you my biological father. Are you kidding me?"Zeuxis said, a cold smirk curling on his lips.The air shifted—tense and quiet. Wind swept gently across the stone courtyard as the two men stood face-to-face.Dareth stepped back, turning toward the distant horizon. "Tell me... why are you really here? In this kingdom?""To learn. To train. To return a better warrior," Zeuxis replied without hesitation.Dareth didn’t even glance back. "Is that all?"Zeuxis hesitated. Then, with a trace of bitterness, he he added, "And to marry Nira. That was the deal. My father and
chapter seventy four
It was true, Zeuxis was staying to gain Nira's attention. It was obvious that he had lost her to Kael who was not even trying to win in the first place. " You know, as much as I would like to see Kael crash and burn, I don't think you are ready. Kael deserves a worthy opponent." Dareth said staring with his eyes at the back of his head. " And you, I don think you are up to the challenge." he said in a mockery tone. Zeuxis stopped walking, his boots scraping against the cobblestone path as his jaw tightened. The way Dareth’s words dripped with mockery felt like venom crawling under his skin. His fingers twitched on the hilt of his sword, but he steadied himself, forcing a grin." Have you seen me fight?" Zeuxis said standing still, his eyebrows raised slightly. It was quite evident in his eyes that he was offended. “You think this is about a girl?” his tone carried a quiet menace. “You belittle me because you don’t understand. I don’t fight for a woman’s glance. I fight for domin
