Three years ago,
Max doesn't like this quietness in this cave. The atmosphere were strange and peculiar.
"You look uncomfortable." Grant Lancia aka Marquess Hagrav smirked on him.
Max nodded and have no intention of having a chat on this place.
He doesn't want to get too attached with this man.As a brother of Duke Lancia, Grant has a bit arrogance and strong headed personality.
But he pays well for this journey. Grant want to find a dragon stone which hidden deep in this cave.
Since it was located in the Forbidden Forest, where all the dangerous creatures lived, Grant asked Max's to be his guardian. He just need one person who was the best on this kind of the quest.
For Max, it just an easy task. Forbidden Forest is just like a playground to him. He knew every little thing on that forest because he was practiced his ability in this forest si
Before Hark can react, Max jump as high as he can. All the dragon has one weakness. It is the head. Middle area of it's horn which saving it energy stone. Hark's tail quickly whip him, but Max was faster. He finally land a blow to the head. Nothing happened. Hark didn't even move for an inch. But Grant stop screaming and the fire on his body was gone. It is strange since Grant's body look fine even after burned alive. His clothes look unscratched, and he just looks like the same as before. "Sir, are you okay?" Max shouted while he still on Hark's head. Grant hold his head. His body feeling cold and everything feel like a dream. A bad one. That's why all he managed to say was,"Oh… god." Max then jump to the ground and checking it out. The dragon isn't dead yet. He can feel it heart beat somehow. Hark's eyes was wide opened and glued to every
Gideon Louise Graham Lavender, King of Cadia's Kingdom, feeling uncomfortable because he has to breathe in the same room with the Atrazal's representatives.They were in meeting room which located in the southeast part of his palace. Surrounded with royal knights who wear a heavy and shining silver armor.Armano only comes with Doctor Hambbel, and he didn't even bring any knight as guardian. As if they certain that the discussion will be going smoothly without any incident. They are in the enemy den after all.The king surely know about the rumor that Emperor of Atrazal has a plan to conquer this kingdom.Gideon once heard about Armano's reputation as The Grim Reaper of Wars. But, he doesn't think it was the truth. For him, this Duke was just a normal person with calm charisma. He didn't bother to say anything in this meeting. He was just listening their conversation while casually sip his cup of tea.
"Ta-da! Here you go. Its hot mattang." Cecilia serves a big plate of sweet potatoes pieces, which coated in translucent hot brown syrup made by caramelized sugar, to Mary who look so surprised about her employer's cooking ability."Wow! How can you make three kinds of dishes made from this fruit, Young Miss? First you plain steamed it, then you baked it and now, you turn it into some candies!"They are on the back kitchen. The Baron's servants aren't using that kitchen anymore because the building is a bit old. But after Mary clean, tidying it up, and filling it with the cooking utensils, this place is perfect to be her private kitchen. Now, Cecilia can freely use it without any intervention."It is sweet potatoes, not that kind of fruit. Try it while it still hot."Mary nodded and take the fork to eat it. She slowly blows it to cool it down.The candied sweet potatoes or according t
Cecilia wipes the plate before she put it on the cupboard."Hmm."Max watched her movement in confusion, "Didn't you feel something unfair? I mean that the evil woman will become the future empress! I wonder what will happen to this Empire.""She must have her own reason.""Yeah, it is called jealousy. She might be felt threatened by your presence. But, the Emperor must be know that your father isn't obedient person. He was looking for someone who wiling to be the pawn to his plan."Cecilia crossed her arm. She starts feel annoying about this. "How come you acting like this? Like you are, really know His Majesty very well."Suddenly, Max flinched and stopped his movement.As if he doesn't expect that question, so he says something safe enough to avoid her suspicion, "I am a part of Scorpion. It is my duty to know everything.""Y
"So, care to fill me in about your plan?" Max asked when he stood beside Cecilia who hiding behind the tree. He looks weary and lacks of interest.She snorts softly." Can you keep silent for a second? I'm still thinking.""Why don't we just knock the door and say that we lost or something?"Cecilia crossed her arms. "No one believes that lame excuses. Please be more creative."Max sneered, "But, we already here from thirty minutes ago. The clock is ticking, Chili.""I know it!" She turned her head and looking at the small house made from wood and straw. It just has one window and a brown wooden door. The garden was filled with herb plants.According to Baron Ambrose, this is belongs to the witch. Even though, Cecilia thinks that the house is too ordinary to be owned by the powerful witch.She doesn't know why Max looks so grumpy today. He didn't ev
"If look can kill, I must be died by now." Kaleela smiles and sit on the chairs. They are in a small beautiful garden full of colorful flowers. There was a small round pink table with two pairs of white of wooden chairs. The witch flicked her finger and the two cups of black tea is appears on the table and ready to drink. "You shouldn't have hurt him!" Cecilia look annoyed and shook her head. "It's okay. Your masked boyfriend is not that weak. He was just clumsy. Please be my guest." Kaleela sipped her tea with an innocent look. "He is not my boyfriend." Cecilia took a seat in front of the witch. But, she doesn't touch the tea. The witch's eyebrows raised. "Oh, so it is only him… Poor boy, I should've being gentle to him." "Miss Kaleela, let's just go back to your home. Max would be worried." But the red-headed woman raise
"You are so rude, Max. I didn't even say goodbye to her!" Cecilia pouted and sit in bushes not far from the lake behind the city hall. Max sat beside her and sneered, "I don't like her." "It is not a valid reason for being rude." She threw her gaze to the lake surface. They were wrapped with darkness which surround the lake. Too bad, I can't see anything, she thought. A second later, Max flicked his finger and creates countless small red light as if he can read her mind. Cecilia stunned when see it. The lights spreading, make her vision getting better. For a second, she thought it was fireflies. "It is so beautiful. How can you do that? Is it magic?" "Nah! It's different and as easy as 123." Max shrugged and sighed heavily, "Umm, I'm sorry for being rude. But, I will do the same in the futures. So, please don't hate me.' "I don't hate you. I know you are doing this because of the duty of protecting me. I'm just… mad. So
"I don't have any relationship anymore with those clowns." Max leaned his head to the bath tub and put his right hand on the forehead.After giving up his succession title, he already made it clear to his step-mother that he doesn't have any interest to the throne. For him, they are just bunch of strangers who feed him for the past twelve years. "Just ignore every invitation from them.""But, we are knows that your resignation will be valid after you are turning twenty.""I don't care."Hugo cleared his throat, "I heard Her Majesty Imperial Empress is sick. She can barely walk and spend so much time in her room.""Hmm." Max didn't even pretend to be shock or at least showing a tiny sympathy about that sad news."I heard the head priest from Holy Temple was visiting her regularly. There is a speculation that she is not infected with physical disease but, caused by so
