Chapter 129. Perfect
The next morning, he helped her out of the bed while she was still a bit weak in the legs. He had dried her entirely that night without remorse. However, it will be a long time before he could see her again, so he needed to have her.
"Emma, how do you feel?"
She knew that he had broken the chain in her ankles, and now she was free to use her magic. However, he didn't seem to be that happy. The frown on his face was giving out how concerned he was.
"Are you worried?" she asked when he caressed her legs in a thoughtful massage.
He nodded, "will you escape again?"
"Only to go save you…" she smiled and kissed his cheek, "so, be careful and come back to me. Okay?"
She slid a ring on his thumb finger.
"What is this?" he asked with a little bump in his heart. This was the first time she was giving him something, a gift.
She smiled, seeing his bright eyes. 'So the cold man with indifferent and not caring eyes can make such a bea

"That old dragon is inside that barrier, he will notice," Uriel was pacing around the room with Gia watching him. That time at the garden, he had felt a strange anxiousness growing in his thoughts. He felt as if the old Master had already found out about him."What should we do?" Gia was also afraid. The old Master was not someone they would dare to provoke."We need to make him go away for a few days, have you figured out anything about the barrier?"Gia had been lurking around the walls. She tried to find the enchanted circle that created the barrier. However, the walls were strongly guarded, and the circle was very well hidden. It was nearly impossible to find it."No, I hadn't found anything about it," she was growing anxious, the guards had already seen her several times and were beginning to be suspicious. "I don't think we can deactivate it, we must find a way to break it."He knew she was telling the truth, they should focus on finding a cr

"What is this?"Rufus got a letter from Master Jin early in the morning. However, it was not the kind of thing he wanted to see when the Kingdom was in a strange position."What does it say?"Rufus shoved the letter to Jano's hands with an exasperated expression. He didn't think that something like that would happen so suddenly."This is bad," Jano sat in defeat.Master Jin had a request from the Capital, it was an urgent matter from the Royal Knights, and had to leave quickly and may not come back after a day. However, his departure had to be kept in secret, as there could be several enemies lurking around the Duchy waiting to attack. And there should be."This…" Rufus narrowed his eyes for a second, "this can't be a coincidence.""How can Master Jin leave like that?"Jano also found the sudden leave from the old dragon abrupt and with a bad omen. To make him go at such speed could only mean that the King is in trouble

The King and the Ministers of Avalor reunited in the main hall of the Palace after an emergency call. They all were sweating and having trouble breathing normally. However, they were not the only ones, the whole capital was suffering the same pain."What is that?!""I feel weak…!"Some people were fainting, some others had trouble standing up. The more experienced dragons had to pass energy to the younger ones to help them stay awake."What is going on?""Look! Above the Palace!"A powerful artifact had appeared at the top of the Royal Palace, in the highest tower. It looked like a big cloud of purple mist surrounding it.Some of the oldest ministers knew what that thing was: it was a powerful relic of ancient times. However, it was not from Avalor but from the Luriem Kingdom."How can this happen now?""How can that thing appear here?!"King Ethan looked up and frowned, there couldn't be such a coincidence

Kian flew at high speed to the town next to the Capital. He let Neo stay in one of the inns to recover with the magical device attached to his body. Even if it was not that much help, and they needed a high-standing healer, Kian needed to go fast to the Dukedom.He gave a huge amount of gold to the doctor and the innkeeper to watch out for Neo. Then he sent a message through one of his men to go to the Duke as soon as possible. He even gifted him some magic to make him move faster.However, his real concern was in the Dukedom. He took his people with him, and they didn't dare to delay more time. The group of shadow knights didn't even cover their tracks or disguised themselves. The people from the towns and the roads that saw them pass commented about them and the rumors started to spread quickly.All the ones who had seen them knew that something severe had happened. To see so many knights with the black coats and masks of the shadow soldiers was not a good sig

The raid on the other Dukedom continued for a few more hours. The soldiers found that the same pattern appeared in the battle; the soldiers and mercenaries, that attacked the knights and army of the Duke, looked like puppets. Vacant eyes, lifeless movements.Even the Duke and main instigator provided the same answers came from the other Duke and his old generals.No one spoke a word of who was the one threatening them, but they kept shaking and asking for mercy for their families. They said that they didn't have a choice.However, the Duke was losing his patience with them. No one dared to speak. He felt that something was strange, something was making him stop thinking about the full picture. There was a piece in the puzzle that he had not seen but was in front of him.How can those dragons be so afraid of anything? Which enemy can be that powerful to make them shake like that and not say a word?He thought of the Luriem Kingdom.

Sir Kein and his soldiers arrived at the walls of the Dukedom, and Jano ordered to open the gates instantly. He had never seen the shadow guards forgetting their bow so blatantly.'Something must have happened,' he thought of asking Kein the moment he entered, but they didn't stop moving until they arrived the inner quarters."Open the gates!"Kein ordered the guards, but they didn't move."We can't let anyone enter without permission of Master Rufus or the Duke!"They all were loyal to the orders, and Kein knew it. No one was allowed near her for even a second."Open them, now!" he didn't have time to give explanations, "Her Highness is in danger!"The soldiers looked at each other and frowned, but they didn't budge.Kein was already asking his soldiers to surround the walls to look for something suspicious."I will ask one more time, and if you dare to delay and something happen to her, I will have your head!"T

"I apologize, Your Highness," Kian was on his knees in the main hall. He was looking up to the man in the main seat, but he hadn't stopped trembling. "I shall accept my punishment."A few hours ago, the moment he went outside to stop his people from hurting themselves, the shadow knights tried to pass through the gates. Some of them even transformed into their real dragon forms and kept relentlessly hitting the barrier.Kein tried to stop them and transformed too, but he was weak and tired. His energy wasn't the same as those soldiers that were controlled. They had forgotten their rationality and started moving by instinct.The walls became chaos and the barrier had many cracks because of the dragon's fire. Even the hits of their enormous bodies and strong claws shattered part of the wall.The people inside the barrier heard the sound of the battle. It was a terrifying roar, they all ran towards the other side of the Dukedom. Jano and the other knight ran

The crowd exclaimed in astonishment. Some soldiers and knights frowned with confusion, as they never thought that a powerful Duke would be tricked. However, they were biased in their opinions towards any of the luriem race. Therefore, they didn't stop thinking if the words of a dragoness, daughter of one of the most outstanding Generals in the Kingdom, could be false."Your Highness, I was in a daze when I came to the Dukedom," she said in a low and weak voice, "I didn't know why was I being escorted by Sir Rufus inside the Dukedom, I think I was under a powerful illusion. There were times I wanted to wake up, but it was difficult. The Crown Prince of the Luriems is powerful, and I couldn't do anything."The soldiers exclaimed in murmurs, while their hatred almost exploded in a shout of war again. They wanted revenge for the brothers that almost lost their lives and the ones that had taken their last breath. However, Liam only looked at the woman still without expressi
