Chapter 134. Purple Eyes
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.

"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

"Why is this not working?!"Gia went again into a crazy state. She threw everything when she was left alone in her room. Her hair was disheveled and her dress was all wrinkled. The pure appearance she wanted to present to the Duke and his people was nowhere.The maids were worried and scared again too. They thought that Rufus was able to calm their mistress down for a while, but it was all an illusion, a painful trick.Even more, the poor knight was still detained in the Duke's state and they didn't know when will he be able to come out, or if he will. The General didn't have enough strength to pressure the Duke or convince him. After all, his people were the ones to provoke the chaos."Why is he still thinking of that slut?!"*Crash*"Miss, are you alright?""Go away!"The two maids moved from the door when a fire attack passed through it. Their miss that was saved that day from the clutches of the Duke was imprisoned by the o

On the other hand, the rumors said that some traitors to the Crown had kidnapped her to force the Duke to ask the King the crown. However, the Duke hadn't made a move to save her.It seemed that he had been using her to lure out those traitors, but he will let her die. They said he was only making her bait."He is so cruel…""What is cruel in that? She must have been bewitching him.""I don't think so, they looked so in love in the tournament.""She is a luriem, how can she be the Duchess of our Kingdom!""What are you talking about?!""The real Duchess is Miss Gia… didn't you know?""Spill it out.""The Duke had personally requested an audience w

The knights followed Gia closely without missing a single move. They planned to step on the same path as her to not get lost in that man's illusion.

The road was very well known to her, as she had grown there and traveled around many times. She even knew where the traps were hidden.
