Chapter 125 – The Breaking of the Shadow
“Help the princess voice her opinion?” Jerry asked incredulously. “I have never heard of such a thing. You were given no orders to do such.”Holga turned to Jerry with her ever-present plastic smile. “Oh, it is true. Helena found it hard to speak about what she wanted. You know, Helena is a shy girl. She is very reserved and hardly speaks her mind. She told me about the difficulty of voicing her thoughts. She told me to help her. She told me to come in today.”It was a pity that the Helena Holga described did not match the one that Darian and Noel knew. Helena had never been silent or reserved around them; she was chatty and opinionated. But she was not so in the presence of this woman. Even on days when Helena felt bad, she never lowered her head for this long or played with her fingers like this. She never shivered so much that her face went pale and white.Noel chipped in, “I was with Helena when the messenger came to get her. She had no idea that you were going to show up. So how
Chapter 124 – The Ambassador of Malice
Helena’s walk was slow, and she kept thinking of what Holga had come to do. Had Holga come to make sure that she got what she wanted from Darian in the guise of a reward? Maybe Holga felt that Helena was too slow and had come to speed it up. Or maybe Holga had come to cause trouble. Whichever it was, Helena would find out when she reached the place.Darian had been waiting a while for Helena, and he was wondering if she was taking this long because she was with Noel. Noel had told him that he would try not to meet privately with Helena until Darian could talk to her, but it seemed he had gone back on his promise; he simply could not resist seeing her.Darian considered the woman before him. She had lines of straight white hair coloring her black hair, making it resemble the plumage of penguins huddled together. Holga was wearing a red dress. The top was full of beads, and she gave a smile each time Darian raised his eyes to briefly look at her. Darian had invited Jerry to be present a
Chapter 123 – The Shadow of the Plant Clan
Noel sighed and put his face in his hands.“You are not crying from emotion, are you?” Charles teased as he elbowed Noel.Noel lowered his hands and frowned. “I want to just beat you up.”Charles laughed. Heali and Jerry chuckled a little. In Darian’s heart, he knew that Noel was simply hungry. This was Noel’s "hungry and frustrated" mode on display. The others did not understand it, but Darian did; after all, they had been friends for years.“Any questions or contributions before we have lunch? I am starving,” Darian said. With the replies he received, Darian knew he was speaking for everyone in the room.***It was evening, and Helena was still in her yellow dress. In front of her sat a large clay pot containing a brown broth that almost resembled the color of mud. She sprinkled a black powder from a plate on the table into the giant pot. The medicine immediately deepened into a darker hue. She picked up a wooden ladle and began to stir.She was deep in thought. Today was the day sh
Chapter 122 – The Map of Ancestors
Darian leaned back in his chair as his mind considered the options. Whether magic was required or whether there was some sham going on with that mask, he had to decide.“Jerry, why don’t you go check if the mask is made of magnets or any other material? Meanwhile, you can take a group of intelligent craftsmen with you to investigate what is going on,” Darian said.Jerry nodded his head and bowed slightly as he extended both hands and folded them. “Yes.”“In the meantime, I have something to show us all.” Darian spread his hands on the table, and a scroll appeared. Picking it up, he said, “You all remember when I left for the mountains for a while, and when the Rebel Master took over? I obtained this—it is a map, and it happens to mark all the resources my ancestors stored up before the Eagle Clan was destroyed.”Noel rose to his feet and spread the map across the table. It was a large map, covering nearly half of the massive surface. The men rose to their feet, as did Darian. Their ey
Chapter 121 – The Unyielding Seal
“Why do you not see a future with him? You know how capable, kind, and good Noel is. He is such a great guy. And it is not like he wants you married to him immediately; he wants it at a later date.” Darian caught himself. “I am sorry. I guess it is a personal matter. But Noel happens to be my friend. Helena, please tell me.”It was odd for Darian to be so nice to her, and she felt the difference. He was usually harsh and tough. He was doing all of this for his friend, just as she was doing everything for her own.“Noel told me you gave him a decree for us to be married in the near future,” Helena said as she bowed her head, playing with her fingers beneath the table.Darian nodded his head. “Yes. It is true. I have done that especially to aid you with your clan. I read about how stubborn the people of your clan can be, especially when it comes to marriages. Only a visible decree of the Eagle Lord makes them bend most times.”Helena’s gaze shot upward immediately. Her eyes met Darian’s
Chapter 120 – The Unyielding Mask
Darian found a lump in his throat.Noel continued, “I really wish you had told me this a long time ago. For a while now, I had felt there was more to me, but I could never lay my hand on it. And, when the Rebel Master mocked my position, I felt it deep within too. Yes, I have been nursing something that should have been taken care of but… as my friend, you should have told me.”“I was afraid,” Darian replied softly.“I know. Darian, anything about the Golden Eagle scares you. Others may not know. They might see you as the tough and powerful guy, but I know that even with all that power, you are a kid who gets scared sometimes,” Noel said.“So… you are not mad at me?” Darian asked.“I am not, only because I have seen you sick with fear and complaining about your heritage a lot,” Noel said with a small smile rising at one side of his mouth. “Besides, it is kind of good to know that we are relatives.”Darian smiled back. “Yeah, no wonder you are the one I am most patient with.”“Darian,
