Chapter 70 – The Golden Eagle’s Glare
Helena’s chest heaved desperately many times, but Noel’s words made sense. She pulled back the chair and tried to sit back down. But before she could, Darian stopped her with his words, "Get the hell out of my face." He did not raise his voice, but his tone was stiff. He put down his fork and continued eating. The letter the Rebel Master had given him rested on the table beside his plate.Helena felt a lump in her throat and looked at Noel. She was hoping Noel would plead for her. Noel scratched his head, "Darian, please just let her..."Darian raised a hand to stop Noel from speaking. He raised his head and looked Noel in the eye, "She should be responsible for her words. Don’t you dare plead for her."Helena shook her head, and with defiance flashing in her eyes, she said, "I am sorry. I hope that is enough?" Her hand grabbed the chair in another attempt, but Darian raised his voice again. "If I am your leader, then you should show respect. You do not come to me to forge an alliance
Chapter 69 – The Price of Rebellion
It seemed the Rebel Master was taking a while to respond. Heali bowed his head quickly. He did not want the Rebel Master to feel that he was mocking him with his eyes or expressions.The Rebel Master finally spoke. "I need you to get me all the information you can about this hero whom it seems my army treasures so much. It seems my army has lost trust in me. Do one thing: tell them I will want to speak to them. We shall meet tomorrow evening."***At noon, the Rebel Master stood on a brown hill, covered with dust and sand. The end of his black cloak was blown by the wind and his hand was folded behind his back.He heard a voice behind him. "After all I did, we were met with failure."The Rebel Master did not turn. He said, "It was your team that was not capable enough."The man chuckled, "Or you underestimated those lackeys who call you Master? You told me they had faced no magic. You said seeing magic would make them cheap prey."The Rebel Master turned sharply, "They were indeed nov
Chapter 68 – The Strategy of Deference
Darian rose to bite his lower lip. Then he said, "Really, Noel? Are you really asking this?"Noel shook his head a bit as he voiced his opinion, "You have very limited choices, Darian. One of which does not include sitting down and feeling sorry that this happened.""You want me to prepare for my burial?" Darian asked as he raised both hands."No, maybe I will have to join you, because if they cannot get you, I might become the next target. Besides, you know why you joined the rebel army. Add two and two, and only three choices pop up. The first is that we run away again, which I doubt you would want. You so want to know what's in the late Eagle Lord’s resting house. The second option is for you to make peace with the Rebel Master. If you do that, you will be elevated in rank, but he will distrust you and find ways to make your life a living hell. But maybe in the process we can find a way to get you inside the Eagle Lord’s resting house. That is if a battle does not break out first i
Chapter 67 – A New Course of Action
Noel began pacing around the place."You will create a hole in the floor," Helena said. "Relax."Noel stopped and turned to face her with a puzzled expression. "I cannot relax. I did not know that things would go this fast. This is bad. This is really bad.""Yes," Helena concurred after sipping some tea."You do not look bothered at all," Noel said to her."Don’t you think it would be nice if Darian could just take over the whole army and kick that wicked leader out?" Helena said.Noel slowly took a seat in front of her, "Are you implying..."Helena nodded her head in approval. "I have told you that I had my misgivings about the rebel leader. He is not a soft man. However, if Darian can take it all, then he would have an ace up his sleeve even as he plans to face Her Holiness and the Ice Clan when he is eighteen."***Jerry and Darian moved forward to see what was causing such an uproar. Jerry reached the place first. The men the Rebel Master had sent had a hand on a part of the bodie
Chapter 66 – Treason in the Ranks
No one moved. Their feet seemed glued to the floor. It was clear that they were considering the morality of the action. The Rebel Master cleared his throat, "This way, the death of the soldiers will not be useless. We will use their blood for a greater good."Without any questions, two of the soldiers walked out to do as they were told.The Rebel Master was not satisfied, "Can't three more of you go along? This golden stuff sucks a lot of blood. We will need more dead bodies."Three more joined after the two who had previously left. The Rebel Master stood, folding his hand behind him. The hand he had cut with his teeth still dripped blood. It pooled on the floor, but the Rebel Master did not care. He was waiting for blood.Darian had spoken to the men, and they were getting along fine. The leaders that had remained called each group to order, and the next thing was to bury the slain among them. Each of the groups in the rebel army arranged themselves according to their ranks: the arch
Chapter 65 – The Unmasking of a Leader
Darian saw his chance the moment the soldier lost balance. He executed a rapid series of attacks: a sweeping horizontal cut to distract, followed by a swift, vertical strike aimed at the thin iron lace protecting the man’s neck.The soldier blocked the vertical strike, but the sheer force of Darian's blow jarred his arm. He roared in frustration and spun, delivering a powerful kick that caught Darian in the thigh. Darian stumbled back, the muscle protesting the impact."If you aren't the leader, you're a threat to us both!" the soldier pressed his advantage, driving Darian back with brutal efficiency. "We came for the Rebel Master's head, not some new recruit!"Darian realized he was in danger of being overwhelmed. He needed to end the fight without killing his opponent, as that might cause too much attention. The man was too fast to disarm conventionally.As the soldier lunged again, Darian didn't meet the sword. Instead, he dropped low, letting the long sword flash harmlessly over h
