Chapter 75 – The Cost of Loyalty
Helena would now be listening to everything, and to Darian that was not a bad idea. He would need her help in the rebel army after he apologized to her.Darian crossed his legs, "I will find my way, but I do have a condition."Charles smirked, "You won't be asking for a thousand beautiful women, would you?""No," Darian replied flatly."That is more like it," Charles said."I want something more. Charles, you have to openly show the Rebel Master that I now have your support. I have a number of ways you can do that," Darian said."I am listening," Charles said.Darian put his leg down and leaned forward, "I guess you are the one who directly supplies the Rebel Master with weapons and stuff. You must be his close ally. I want all new weapons to get to my hand before the Rebel Master—all maps and any other item. I will be the one to give him a share I think is necessary."Charles let out a short laugh, "You are too power-hungry for a young boy.""I mean business. If you want my collabora
Chapter 74 – The Blood of Innocents
"I wonder why you let me in when you knew I was the reason why your comrades died," Charles said after wiping his mouth with a napkin.Darian replied, "I know there is more to this story. And I am really waiting for you to tell me everything I need to hear."Charles leaned into his seat. He was done with his food. "You are such a wise young man."Darian stopped eating the food and leaned into his chair, "Tell me, why are you here?"Noel kept eating, although it was clear he was listening eagerly.Charles began, "I and the Rebel Master had an alliance to use the blood of the soldiers of the rebel group for a noble cause."On hearing the mention of the blood sacrifice, Darian raised an eyebrow; he wondered why the Rebel Master would plan to sacrifice his own people.Charles continued even as he sensed that he had Darian’s attention. "You see, the ground where the rebel army practices used to belong to the lord of the Eagle Clan thousands of years ago when he used to come here from the c
Chapter 73 – The Diamond Leader’s Dinner
Darian listened again. The soldiers in front of his house were too obvious. If they wanted to carry out a sneak attack, they would not walk so loudly. There were only two options in Darian’s mind: either they had surrounded his house to intimidate him, or they wanted a meeting. Whichever the case, he could never be too careful.Darian turned and rushed to the kitchen. Noel was about to speak, but Darian raised a hand and placed it in front of his lips. Noel went silent but he could tell there was danger. There were swords at the corner of the kitchen and Darian picked up one. He flung the other towards Noel, and Noel caught it as caution flickered in his eyes. Noel whispered, "Let me take the back door. You can take the front." Darian nodded his head.Darian walked back to the front door and was about to strike when he heard a voice. "We are not here to fight. We just want to discuss with you. Come on, Darian. You can't be that suspicious," a voice coming from outside said.Darian had
Chapter 72 – The Terms of the Co-Leader
Jerry's voice carried hope that Darian would immediately tell them to slash the Rebel Master and his people to shreds. But Darian hesitated. All the while, Heali had been silent and watching, but now, his tongue was loosed. "Jerry, take it easy. This was meant to be a meeting."Jerry gave a "hmmmph." "You would have invited all of us then."The Rebel Master put down his hands and laughed as if he had seen a joke. "Jerry, no need to be wary. You know how I am. I only brought out this sword to hand it over to Darian. From now on, Darian will become my Second-in-Command."There was a hush among the armies behind Darian. Even those on the Rebel Master's side did not look convinced.Jerry gazed at Darian as he tried to weigh his thoughts. Darian stared back at Jerry and nodded. Jerry spoke up, "Why should he agree when he can get it all right now?"The Rebel Master responded, "Because he is just a boy." The Rebel Master spread his hands wide and raised his voice. "I have been building this
Chapter 71 – The Test of Command
Darian shot him a questioning gaze, "You include yourself as an owner of that tent? It seems you have wanted the seat of the Rebel Master for a long time, yet you pretend to be loyal to him." Darian had raised his voice as he spoke.Heali was flustered, "Shut up. What nonsense are you sprouting from your mouth! I could never want the Rebel Master's seat. You are just trying to cause division between us."Darian clicked his teeth, "Why did you have to get so agitated if you're innocent? You should try relaxing more."Heali balled one fist, "Just move and get into the tent!""And if I do not?" Darian asked as he looked Heali in the eyes.The Rebel Master yelled from behind them, "I will come to give this brave soldier a grand welcome into the tent myself." The Rebel Master rose to his feet and walked out of his tent. His steps towards where Heali stood were slow and deliberate, each one a show of his status and power. The wind blew on his black robe and had it spreading out at its ends.
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
