The Lost Heir Of Sargent I PLEAD TO PROTECT THIS INNOCENT BOY!
"Destruction is fine," Liliana crossed her arms, letting out a sharp breath, as if she was trying to control her emotions. "What about Chrissy? He suffered a lot, if we are concentrating solely on destroying Adams family, when are we going to give him the happiness he deserves?" "We will give him something better than mere happiness," Betty said firmly. "A life where he doesn’t have to constantly prove himself, a life where he’s not treated as an option, a life where he doesn't have to think about getting ignored or abandoned, a life with nothing but full of love." Everyone agreed with Betty, however Liliana said with a faint smile, "Even though we are adults, we are so excited about our birthdays, guess what, I happened to find it after making my people to talk with a maid from Adams family that Chrissy never celebrated his birthday, not even once, they allowed him to have a birthday party." "What?" Amelia frowned in disbelief, Liliana nodded with a guilty face, "Yes mom, even whe
The Lost Heir Of Sargent ANYTHING FOR YOU, KID
"Ahhh!" Christian groaned in sleep because of the sunrays falling straight on his face, "I should've closed those damn curtains before I fell asleep last night." He woke to the soft glow of morning light streaming through his bedroom window. Stretching his body lazily, he turned his attention towards the window as some voices came from the garden.His drowsy eyes widened when he noticed a massive tree standing in the garden.His heart skipped a beat at the sight of a familiar tree.He rubbed his eyes trying to check once again to cross-check whether he saw it for real or not, his breath struck within his throat. The tree… it looked just like the one he and his mother had planted years ago at Adams mansion. The same thick, sturdy trunk, the familiar curve of its branches, even the way the leaves swayed in the wind, it was almost identical. "But how could that be? Isn't it supposed to be in that mansion? How come it is here in Sargent's mansion?" His chest tightened with emotions
The Lost Heir Of Sargent MAKE A WISH
"Is everything prepared?" Lord Sargent's voice creaked through the silence.The gentle glow of candlelight fell on the walls filling up with the shadows of a group of people.Outside, the dark night with stars looking like a beautiful painting, especially the moon at high in the sky, bathing the Sargent's mansion in a silver glow. The heavy silence of the night was suddenly disturbed by hushed whispers and shuffling footsteps."Don’t make a sound.""Shh, you’ll wake him up!""Can’t you see? He’s sleeping!""For God’s sake, shut up, all of you!"The excitement in their voices was barely controlled, yet there's some urgency and at the sametime they remained quiet.Betty, Liliana, Edward, and Charles tiptoed forward, their faces glowing with anticipation. Behind them, Lord Sargent and Amelia followed, she is carefully holding a small cake with a single candle standing at its center.Liliana was the first to approach Christian’s bedside, ahe knelt beside him, her fingers running gently
The Lost Heir Of Sargent MAGIC IS IN YOUR BLOOD
"A pearl?" Christian asked slightly holding it out of curiosity.Ezra nodded with a gentle smile. "It's not a simple pearl, this is very precious and it'll strengthen your magic core."Christian frowned, taken aback by his words. "Magic? Do you really think I can do it? I mean...." "Magic is in your blood, Chris," Ezra said while the confidence gleamed in his eyes. "You may not feel it now, but trust me, it’s there. You’re an inhabitant of magic, whether you accept it or not."Christian hesitated, kicking off his blanket as he sat up. "I don’t know… it sounds unreal." Ezra smirked tapping on Christian's shoulder. "You'll understand soon enough, just after your birthday party."Christian raised an eyebrow. "After the birthday party? What’s that supposed to mean? What'll happen after my birthday party?" Ezra merely shrugged his shoulders, and his expression was quite unreadable. "You'll know when the time comes."Before Christian could question him further, Ezra suddenly took the pea
The Lost Heir Of Sargent WELCOME TO YOUR NEW REALITY!
"Everyone, get inside the cabin! Now!" Charles barked, with a sharp and urgency filled tone wanting everyone to be safe.Liliana grabbed Christian’s wrist, tugging him away from the railing. "Chrissy, don’t just stand there! Let's go inside, it's dangerous here!" But Christian couldn't move even an inch.His body refused to listen not only to Liliana, even to himself.He could only stare at the monstrous wave, growing larger and larger, an unstoppable force heading straight for them. Despite in the strong wind and heavy sounds of the sea, he still managed to hear his own heartbeat since it's loud enough to reach his ears, "Is this how I'm going to die? That too on my birthday?" A hand fixed on his shoulder, snapping him out of his frozen state. It is Ezra, he is trying to boost confidence in Christian through his instructions."Chris," Ezra said, his voice low but firm. "Listen to me, we have no time, you've to stop it at anycost."Christian’s eyes widened in shock. "What?" He ya
The Lost Heir Of Sargent ARE THEY WAITING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY?
"Chrissy?"Liliana was about to say something but Christian's tired voice cut her words off, "I feel uneasy… Can I get some rest, Aunt?"Christian knew very well unless he gets a moment of peace, there's no way, he could act like a normal human with a proper mind.She studied him for a moment, concern evident in her eyes, yet she decided to give him some time to handle himself, "Of course, do you want me to show you to a room?""I’d appreciate that," Christian managed to say with a polite tone.Liliana led him inside of the yacht, in a corner, she opened the door to a cozy yet elegant guest room. "Here you go, if you need anything, just call me." Christian nodded, and stepped inside while checking around the room.As soon as the door was closed behind him, he let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding for too long. His body felt heavier than usual, his mind even more heavier than his body. He sat on the edge of the bed, gripping his head in frustration.None of this made sen
The Lost Heir Of Sargent CONTROL?
"Chris... Chris," Ezra’s voice reached his ears, Christian being still sleepy turned in bed, rubbing his eyes. "What happened, Ezra?" His voice turned hoarse due to sleepiness as he asked."We’ve arrived," Ezra said with an excitement filled voice, "Looks like the surprise your family planned for you isn't so simple." Christian stretched his arms and let out a yawn, shaking off the drowsiness as he sat up. "Already?" He mumbled, dragging himself out of bed. Ezra followed closely behind as Christian opened the door, just as he stepped out, and blinked, it's Liliana who already came to wake him up but he already woke up."Aunt Lily!" Christian grinned widely, relief flooding in his chest as he saw her.Liliana’s lips curled into a bright smile, her face softening as she saw Christian’s usual warmth returned. Earlier, when witnessed his distant, lost in thought, and an unreadable face, they were worried.Seeing him like this back to his usual self, his genuine smile lighting up his
The Lost Heir Of Sargent A CRESCENT TO COMPLETE?
••NO POV••"It’s a surprise," Christian said with a teasing smirk, his eyes sparkling with mischief, "Do you think only you can give surprises?" Ezra shrugged his shoulders with a sigh, "Are you seriously doing this?" Christian’s smile widened enjoying the situation. "Why not? It’s fun watching you react like this, you and others always love to tease me in the name of surprises, today, I'm doing it, isn't it really interesting?" Ezra chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief as for a minute it's not Christian who is in front of him but it seemed to be like Mary who is standing in front of him."Day by day, you’re turning into a mini version of your mother." Christian’s expression softened with emotions. "Thanks." Ezra raised a brow, crossing his arms. "Do you think that’s a compliment?" "To me, it is a compliment for sure," Christian said without hesitation. "No one ever compared me to my mother in a way like this, in fact, that so-called father of mine and stepmother used to say

AM I DREAMING OR IS IT REAL?
"I don't know what I did, I'm tired as hell," Christian sighed wiping off the sweat from his forehead, Ezra chuckled hearing to him but still beaming with pride because of Christian's selflessness and efforts to save a complete stranger.The room was quiet again, as neither of them spoke.Christian remained seated near Rosaline’s bedside, the faint sound of his own heartbeat filling the silence. The black smoke had disappeared after the purification pill took effect, but his relief didn’t last long.A sudden wave of thick, inky darkness began curling around Rosaline once more, moving like a serpent seeking its prey.Ezra’s voice immediately reached Christian, "It’s returning, her energy is too weak to hold off the evil energy, the curse is eating away at her from within, and trying to corrupt her soul..." Christian frowned rubbing his temples. "But I already gave her the purification pill, what more do I do? Any spell?" Ezra sighed, his tone filled with urgency. “One pill isn’t eno
ARE YOU READY TO TAKE RISK FOR HER?
"Mr. Charles, Master wants to meet you," a guard announced, bowing respectfully at the doorway, "He is waiting for you in his study." Charles turned to Christian with a conflicted glance, the guard informed, "Master wants only you to meet him, Mr. Charles, he said young master Christian can wait in madam Rosaline's room till you come back for him." "Ummm... But, my nephew," Charles hesitated, and Christian who knew this is the opportunity for him to be alone with Rosaline has said, "It's okay uncle, I can wait here till you come back, so, don't worry about me and go to meet Mr. Valemire." Charles nodded and caressed Christian's hair, "I think it's better for you to wait inside the room itself, I’ll be back as soon as possible, stay here only till I come back." Christian nodded quietly like an obedient child.Charles then looked at the maid standing nearby. "He’s a bit shy around strangers, he'll be staying in Rosaline’s room till I return, please look after him." The maid blinked
SHE IS INSIDE
"Ezra, can you pull that curtain away?" Christian groaned sleepily not wanting his sleep to be disturbed, while Ezra sighed, "It's already morning Chris, day by day you're becoming lazy." With a huff, Christian got up and sat, "Ms. Thalia isn't here, at least at times like this, am I not supposed to be happy and enjoying?" "You can," Ezra said with a smile, "but you need to wake up too from the sleep, you can't be sleeping whole day..." Christian shook his head, "Last night, I've been thinking Ezra." "Thinking? What?" Ezra looked confused.Christian said, "Today, let's go and meet Ms. Rosaline." "Huh? Are you sure?" Christian nodded, "yes, whole night I've been thinking about that only, finally I took a decision, if we wanted to do something, why we should delay it? Let's go there..." "Do you think you're their son-in-law?" Ezra rolled his eyes, "It's not as easy as you think to go there whenever you wants and to leave when you wanted to, you need permission for both going and
ISN'T IT FAMILIAR TO YOU?
"I didn't mean that," Liliana shook her head. "They've tried everything, every physician, alchemist, enchanter, and healer, worth their name, but they couldn't even find out what's wrong with her."Christian was surprised to hear that, and immediately, he remembered about his uncle, "Wait... What about uncle Charles? He is named as a miracle doctor who can save anyone, even a dying person can be saved by uncle, why didn't he try to help her? Do we have any issues with them?" "No, Chris," Liliana gently placed her hand on Christian's hand, "Both of our families are so close to each other for decades, in fact Rosaline is a very good person, she even saved my life once, out of that gratitude, I took Charles to their home hoping he can help her, even Charles attempted to heal her for me." Christian straightened with an anxious face. "And?" "He failed." Her voice was quiet now, threaded with frustration. Christian looked surprised after hearing to Liliana, as far as he heard everyone p
WHERE IS SHE NOW?
"Where are you going at this hour?" Ezra asked, looking at Christian who is walking out, Christian said calmly, "Ummm... I'm going to the library...." Ezra scratched his head with a clueless face, "Library? At this hour? Are you crazy?" "No, I'm not," Christian said turning on the torch in his mobile, "I couldn't sleep, so I can't just lie down and do nothing, so I want to take a walk, rather than going here and there, I just want to the manor library to find books related to Valemire family." Ezra couldn't say no to Christian, so silently followed behind.Christian slowly made his way towards the manor library without making a sound, as he doesn't want to disturb anyone late in that night."Did you ever went to that library?" Ezra asked, Christian shook his head, "No, I just got to know directions to that library through James, but this is the first time, I'm going there...." Ezra hummed, "So, you knew nothing about this library?" "No, do you know anything?" Christian asked with
YOU THINK SOMEONE DID?
"Chris," Amelia gently tapped on Christian's hand, "Are you okay? Why did you keep your face like that? Still thinking about your grandfather's words?" Christian mumbled out of hesitation, "I'm scared... I'm worried too, that I might not be able to keep up with the expectations you all have on me, what if I failed? What if I...." "You're thinking too much, Chrissy," Liliana laughed, as she couldn't handle the serious look on Christian's face, "Do you even know what Charles had done when Ed has asked him to handle a meeting with foreign delegates?" Christian looked curious to know, Liliana shared the rest of the story, "Ed gave all the details but this man messed up, he read out something else rather than the he is supposed to discuss, he spoke about financial report as if they're in the company as an auditor, what should we do with this guy?" Everyone burst into laughter including Christian, Betty said, "Even Ed was nervous, because he is supposed to work under Lord Sargent, the g
THAT'S VERY DIPLOMATIC!
"So, what are you planning to do now?" Ezra asked, tilting his head in genuine curiosity as Christian stood by the window, eyes fixed on the pale morning sky.Christian rolled his eyes so hard he nearly saw his brain. "Salsa dance, wanna join? Maybe I think, you're already an expert..." Ezra snorted, laughter bubbling up. "What a sarcastic guy! Just like his mother."Christian spun around, with a sarcastic tone, "My mom would be proud of me. You know, she loved a good twirl while we played around, and guess what, when I saw her fight, she twirled in the same way sealing that gate, and dodging shadow beasts, my mom is good at everything." Ezra flopped onto a nearby armchair, one of the fluffiest in the room, and folded his arms. "You’re practically a fountain of levity this morning." Christian raised an eyebrow. "Levity? I was thinking more along the lines of a snark tornado, but yes, levity works." He paced, calmly looking around, "Maybe I could start by writing a strongly worded
IS THAT WHY YOU DISAPPEAR SOMETIMES?
"Why is even normal sleep became hard for me to afford?" Christian hadn’t slept at all. "Arghhh, why are these nightmares haunting me, why couldn't I even get some proper sleep?" After the dream, or illusion, or whatever it was, he’d stayed curled beneath the blankets, eyes wide open, listening to the tick of the old wall clock and the distant creaks of the manor settling in the cold night. "At this moment with lack of sleep, I might even turn into a zombie," He sighed within himself, "Turning into a zombie with no sleep and stress must be just a matter of time, I can really feel it." The image of the chained beast behind the gate kept playing behind his eyes, the way it had looked at him, spoken into his mind.'My key.'Even now, hours later, the words haunted him like a curse.Though he isn't sure whether it is that beast that spoke to him or not, but deep inside his consciousness, he could feel that it's none other than that beast which spoke to him."Ezra, I'm waiting for you,
MY KEY
"Do you think it's okay?""Of course, it is okay...." "Aren't we here on that purpose only?" "Did you even check whether he is asleep or not?" "My enchanting voice can make anyone fall asleep in seconds..." The voices came from the golden light particles that surrounded Christian while he was in his deep sleep."We have to keep our promise which we made to Marie." "He is asleep, let us show the truth through his dream." Strange voices reached his ears but he still couldn't understand what exactly it was, as he was already enveloped in deep slumber.The world around Christian twisted like wet paint swirling in water. One second he was lying in bed, and the next, he stood in the middle of a vast courtyard that felt like it had been pulled from another timeline.The sky above was the color of fresh blood, deep red streaks smeared across black clouds. The ash rained softly like snow. The air was thick, and suffocating, nothing giving familiar vibes apart from creating goosebumps
