“You!” Nora and I screamed back as Dan’s face appeared when we opened the door to the lounge. “You cheating rascal!” He directed his gaze to Nora.
Nora quickly hid behind me and stuck her tongue out at Dan. He looked irritated and was about to say something more when Ace blocked his path.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Ace dropped the shopping bags on the floor and cracked his knuckles. “Are you bullying my sister?” He demanded.
“Of course not.” Dan said in a deadpanned tone as he heard Eltur and Darem laughing behind his back. Dan jerked a thumb towards them. “It was your older brothers who were bullying her. I heard they were teaching her things that kids shouldn’t know. I won’t tell you what it is. You
As the crown was placed on top of Fred’s head, the crowd erupted into a big round of applause. Fred, who was currently declared as the youngest king of Hazel smiled back onto the crowd as he returned the scepter. The princes and I couldn’t be more proud of him. After all, he deserves it. We have seen and witnesses what he could do and how responsible he can be. That is why I admire him. He’s kind and smart, and also talented. He was the perfect king. Maybe I should consider migrating to Hazel or buy some Fred action figures? Will I be charged with tax? “Enjoy the party everyone.” Fred says before he went backstage, probably to sign a few more paperwork. I almost booed at this sudden disappearance because I have yet to marvel at the sight of the handsom
The moment Fred and I began dancing, the others started to follow. It was like the previous events didn’t happen at all. At the moment, the visitors enjoyed the event as usual as they casually used the dancefloor. “Fred, is it me, or do you suck at dancing now?” I said as he and I stood behind the buffet table and ate. I was eating while he was just looking at me and greeting guests when they passed by. “I should be asking you that same question.” He responded and handed me a cupcake. “Try this.” “I stepped on you one time! You also stepped on mine.” I complained but still accepted the cupcake nonetheless. Fred held this cupcake. It is now a national treasure that my stomach will enjoy. Fred snickered. “You stepped on me first. I just returned the favo
I immediately ran to find my aunt. They were still back to where I left them. When my aunt saw me, she was about to scold me for running, but seeing the look on my face, she held back. “Dear, what’s wrong?” “Where’s the carriage you took to get here? I need to get back to Thalia immediately.” I told them. “You’re leaving already?” Fred interjected and came forward. I nodded. “It’s Viex, my other contracted spirit.” I held my head as I tried to remember the last words that he told me. “He told me that he was in Thalia. And I feel it. He’s in trouble.” Fred nodded and called for a servant. “Get my carriage immediately.” “But, sire, with all the carriage pa
I was starring at an empty space trying to comprehend what Viex just said. King Ferius has my sister? What a joke.But even though all I wanted to do was deny it, the traces of hair on the ground and Viex’s words were all the proof I needed.I saw a card written in blood. My stomach swirled at the sight.‘Surrender yourself and the chalice.’ It says. I don’t even need to look for the name of the sender to know who it is.I wanted to puke. I remember all the pain in my body when I felt the repercussion of Viex healing someone. Was it Stella that Viex was trying to heal to end up in this state?I looked at Viex’s sleeping form. He was phasing in and out of my sight. His bo
I can’t believe this! They locked me up AGAIN! Just after they read the letter, they thought it would be best if I sit this one out because they still think that it can somehow be a trap. They don’t want me to be a part of it because they thought it would be best if I never appear in front of King Ferius. Ever.I have to admit that the first day that I was locked up, I screamed and cried myself to sleep in frustration. I even started picking on my nails because of the anxiety that it gave me.Viex, on the other hand, was able to recover and it was his comforting and assuring words that my sister is well that helped me sleep that night. He and Custard took turns that night watching over me as I sleep.Today is my third day of being locked up. But I still have no idea what their c
“Malduk?” I gasped and then I sat back while looking at the ceiling and I started to think. “Wait. I don’t remember. Who is he again?”‘I…’ Custard paused and looked at Viex for help. Viex simply rolled his eyes at him.‘Princess, Malduk is the evil spirit who possessed you. Remember when you bathed in the spring to purify yourself? That was the guy you purified.’“Now this I am following.” I nodded. “But I thought he was...purified? Like gone forever. How was he able to possess Custard when he was vulnerable?”Viex started shifting on his paws. He somehow felt uncomfortable.
I fell on my butt when a carrot hit me right on the forehead. I rubbed on the sore spot and expected Custard or Viex to come running to me.But then I remembered that they weren’t there. I sighed solemnly.Nate stretched out his hand in front of me with a laugh. “Sorry. I thought that you would be able to hit that one too.” I grabbed his hand and allowed him to pull me up. “But you know? You hit 9 out of 10. I have to say that I am impressed.”“Thanks. Can’t say that my forehead is that happy though.” I said and I changed my grip to turn my whip back into a sword.“Well, it is good that you’re back. At least you can continue with your training.”
‘Princess,I am sorry but we must disregard our initial plan. The king has learned about the secret passage. He knows about the map and even as a copy of it. Furious is already expecting your arrival. We have to take precautions. I have another plan in mind. But for this to work, I need your cooperation. At the back of the castle head in the opposite direction. There, you will find a lake. Please meet me there in a few minutes.’I read the lines over and over. Surely this Leo guy couldn’t have sent the note. I mean, I believe that he wrote the note, but I don’t think that he was the one who sent it to me.It was probably Ace. But why would he send me the note that Leo passed on to him?I st
