Blood and Darkness Chapter 58: Strongest Kind
'Are you sure?''Have you not read about the dragon's sharp senses? When it comes to tracing, dragons are the best. We can trace anything just with our sense of smell.''And how were you able to do that? You're just in my soul.''Through you, of course. My soul is part of yours, that means I would be conscious of my surrounding through your body.'I cleared my throat before speaking."Uh, I think we should follow this way," I pointed the path on my right."Why do you think so, Princess?" Prince David tilted his head to look at me. The others also waited for my answer."I can smell the stones of a cave in this path... I think we are getting near." I'm not sure if I sound convincing enough. They looked confused so maybe I wasn't."You can smell that?" Demitri asked.I swallowed the lump in my throat."Is that part of your ability? The strong sense of smell?" from Prince David.How should I answer that in the most natural way? Was there even any normal person who has that kind of sense o
Blood and Darkness Chapter 59: Stealing is a Crime
'How?' I asked Raja.'Blue dragons have only one weakness. Fire.'What? You should have told me earlier!'Even if you have the ability to manipulate fire, I don't think you can make an arrow out of fire. One should hit the eyes of the blue dragon with a fire arrow. It won't kill him but it can blind him for moments, then the princes can do something to paralyze him afterwards.'Fire arrow. I had never did that nor I tried. I also don't think I can do that, but...I looked at the Demitri... Prince David... Prince Martin... Prince Evan. They are all struggling to defeat the magical dragon in order to save the queen. Will I just stand aside and do nothing while they are facing such risk? Will I just watch them fighting while I stay behind?No. I should at least try. After all, there is no harm in trying.'Right,' Raja agreed. 'You may try but if you can't do it, don't push yourself too much. You know you are still in the early stage of your training.'I inhaled and exhaled. I closed my e
Blood and Darkness Chapter 60: Agreement
'He wants something from you, my lady,' Raja suddenly talked.What? You mean the magical healer wants something from me?'Yes. He relayed the message through his dragon. He knows you are also a dragon summoner.'What would he want from me? And what is this? A private talk? 'He wants it to be private because he wants you to make the decision yourself without the influence of the princes. Honestly, I don't like the idea of it, but I think I should relay the message right.'What does he wants from me?'He promised to give you the cure if you would do something in return. You should find his only son.'My lips parted a bit. His son? But why me? He should have asked that to the princes instead considering that they are more capable of doing it.'Because he wants you to marry his son.'What did you say, Raja? You are only joking, aren't you? You can't be serious.'My apologies, but I'm serious, my lady.''So, what? You are really telling me that he asked me to marry his son? That's ridicu
Blood and Darkness Chapter 61: Bold Accusation
"Indeed, Father," Demitri agreed. "Who is training you, then? If you don't have a trainer yet, I can give you one-""I can train her, Uncle. I'm very skilled-" Prince Evan was cut by Demitri."She already has one, Father." Then he looked at Prince Evan, his eyes turned like sharp silver. "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Evan, but my bride already has her personal trainer, which is me."Prince David smiled playfully at his brother."I was about to offer my free service, too."Demitri glared at Prince David."Well, that's good then," the King said and was about to say more when the chief of royal guards suddenly interrupted our breakfast."Your Majesty," he bowed his head as respect. "My apologies if I interrupted your breakfast, but this is an urgent matter and you told me to report to you right away once we already have information about the poisoning of the queen."The king shifted on his seat and everyone became serious."Do you already know who is the culprit?" The king asked.
Blood and Darkness Chapter 62: Hot and Cold
"Are you feeling sick, Your Highness?" one of my court ladies asked when I didn't leave my bed yet. "No. Just a minute." Truth is, I feel like my body is so heavy that's why I don't want to get up. Probably because of the journey. Or maybe due to the stress I've went through last night thinking of how I would say to Demitri and his family that I will leave. At the end, I couldn't think of a strong alibi."How is the Her Majesty? Did you hear any news?" I asked while I'm in front of the huge mirror and the court ladies are assisting me in wearing all the necessary layers of clothes which is a burden to every living lady."We heard that she is already awake and is now doing well, Your Highness."I sighed in relief. My soul can now finally have its peace knowing that the queen is safe from the dangerous poison. To know that is enough for me even though no one will know what sacrifice I have to make. At least I know that I did what is right and could benefit everyone."How about the culp
Blood and Darkness Chapter 63: Embedded Promise
"I-I am telling the truth, Your Highness! It was her!""Don't fucking disrespect her!"The floor of the cell suddenly turned to ice and the lower extremities of the culprit got frozen."Ares," the King stopped him from going further.I swallowed hard, couldn't defend myself. I'm even willing to trade my life just to save the queen, and yet I would be accused of such a big crime? What on earth is happening? There must be something big behind this. Why else would this man point me as the one who gave him the order?"Can you prove your claim?" The king asked the culprit, it shook my faith."Arthur, he might be lying," the queen with her soft voice. She is really very kind."He might be, yes. But we should consider all the angles to know the truth, Romina.""Father, Ophelia can never do that!" Demitri defended me."Ares is right, Father. She is kind. She would not dare do that," Prince David said."And she even helped us to get the cure for Mother. This man must be lying to put the blame
Blood and Darkness Chapter 64: About to Die
'If you want to know who is behind this, you should start asking yourself who hates you,' Raja talked in my mind.Who hates me? I don't know. In this palace, I'm only interacting with my court ladies, Demitri, the princes and the queen and king.'One who has motive to take you down. He or she must have the power since he or she can control some people.'I thought about it thoroughly. But moments passed and I still don't have any suspect in mind.'Why would someone want me out of the picture, anyway? I'm not an important person–''Of course, you are. You are chosen to be the crown princess, may I remind you.'My eyes narrowed.Wait. Someone who hates me... someone who has power... crown princess. Why do I feel like this is leading me to something?'It must be one of the ladies who were chosen at the ball,' Raja said and that lighted up something in my mind. 'She must have wanted the crown princess' throne so bad, so she ordered someone to frame you up in order for you to be executed fo
Blood and Darkness Chapter 65: Surrender Her
"No... no. This won't work, Demitri. If you dragged me out of there when I'm supposed to be imprisoned, it would only make me more guilty in their eyes," I said."And what do you want me to do, Ophelia? Let you be imprisoned in that dark and filthy cell? I won't let that happen!" His jaw clenched, eyes almost bloodshot in both anger and frustration."But I want to face this head-on, Demitri. Running away will prove nothing. I want to face them and let them see that I'm not guilty at all so I don't have to hide.""Ophelia, you don't understand...""Understand what? The palace will soon be in chaos, and your Father will condemn you for running me away. I don't want that to happen. I don't want to stain your reputation and make you look bad. You think this, running away, will make everything better? No, Demitri. No. It will just make everything worse. What you should do is surrender me–""Surrender you? What the fuck is that?!'"Can you please listen? Let me finish!"We are both almost y
