CHAPTER 23
:THEON’s POV
The day of our departure had come, and it has been an hour ever since we left the castle. At the Grand Hall, the royal twins, Hera and Harith, bid their goodbyes to me. Princess Hera only blabbered about her best wishes for us while Prince Harith, he is quite thankful his dream came true.
Nah, we’re still not married. If I remember it correctly, people call it ‘engagement’. I don’t think everything would end up in veils and rings. I will surely not let it happen.
The king declared that he’ll be the one to schedule the wedding. I hope it would happen one hundred years from now.
Our travel only consists of two normal wooden carriages with six sentinels on their horses. I wouldn’t want to attract bandits just by riding on a luxurious Berline wagon. Besides, it is nothing but the ride that we need and never for the sake of exalting power and status.

:RYU’s POVEver since I agreed upon his request of me coming with him on a journey, I know my life will never be the same. Silenced confined me in this lonely wooden carriage. I wonder where we are heading to. Is it a place where someone like me is welcomed and accepted?Well, let’s find out later.The carriage was taking a gradual pace. It has been an hour and a half already, as the scene gradually changed from the scenery of thick gloomy woods, into an astonishing sight of wide and flat desiccated rice fields, and of unusual dwellings miles away from each other. Majestic mountains stood from afar and the sky was cloudless, and the sun was shining brighter than where I came from.So this is the foreign world.I am not into escaping, after all, I noticed how well-rounded these sentries are. I would rather stay around; at least, it is just out of curiosity.I want to know what will happ

:RHY’s POVAs far as I can remember, this is the second time I visited this place. Much had changed that I do not even know where to start to count. Not even a memory of how it used to be was left in my memory, but I know I have walked these same old stone pavements before.It has been thirteen years, after all.“This is where the trading happens,” I mumbled as I look around the area. I would rather tire myself out before going to bed than waste my time thinking about unnecessary stuff.That idiot, if only he did not open that stupid mouth of his, we might have not said too much.I strolled as to where my feet lead me to while looking for something that interests me. They displayed various kinds of products on their wooden stalls like pieces of jewelry, fabrics, ornaments, perfumes, makeups, and most things that correspond to beauty and positions.Just when will people slam the w

: THEON’s POV “Is beasty not going to eat?” Ryu asked in a zappy manner as he entered the private dining room we rented in the inn. Beasty? Just how in the world did they even become that close? “Let her be,” I responded before sitting sat on one of the ten seats, “She must have thought that feasting with the enemy is quite distasteful to even imagine it.” With curiosity, Ryu glided towards an empty seat and instantly sat down with a tedious look. “How come you are acting more like that beast than the beast itself?” he then asked. What does that even supposed to mean? “Don’t even start claiming you know me, or her.” I annoyingly replied as I pointed myself then to my back indicating 'her', “We all just met each other a few days ago in some ghastly circumstances after all.” “Yeah, you are right,” He uttered, “So why then this sudden marriage? You aren’t into killing her, right? Because if you will, you will

: THEON’s POVI have never expected things to turn out like this.They were just there, fancily chatting with her on the sofa inside the chilling living room. As I lean on the wooden door frame with my folded arms, I watched those two, Liam and Luna, being terrifically astounded by her responses to their numerous cocky questions. Rhys still wore that numb face of hers though, matching her apathetic voice.I am glad they have no clue about who she is, all they are aware of is that she is a princess, and my bri —that.“What a lovely scene we got here,” Ryu described with amusement as he stood beside me. “I bet she’s being suffocated right now.” He smirked.“Would you shut up,” I annoyingly glared without looking at him, “Not in my home.”“Well, you also got some huge and weird house here,” He glanced around, examining the area.I

:ANEMONE’s POV(early in the morning)It must have been three hours after the sun had risen; its rays of light weren’t warm but sizzling, that it is scorching my olive skin, and is gravely causing my forehead to sweat.Without a hat, we ambled on this dusty path bound to the western town.I trailed her fine shoulder and slim body covered with a brown cloak. Her pony-tailed long hair reached her hips. Compared to my braided shoulder-length cider hair, hers swayed with grace as she meanders.Slim as she was, she’s taller by a fraction than me, but I know I have purer intentions than her.Master Theon asked me to accompany Lady Rhys to stroll and investigate around the area, to help the town mitigate the flu outbreak.Back then; this job is absolutely given to me without further ado. I have helped Master Theon with all my best, and never did I fail h

:RHYS’s POV Unfortunately, it is already nightfall, and I haven’t found what I am looking for. I glanced up to the tree crown; the sky’s going to yield the night within minutes now and I am somewhat tired. “Damn that devil,” Not only was he stupid enough to accept my game, he actually used it to make me do a saving-the-day job. Helping people is out of my league. You cannot just expect me to help people without a reason, and he knows that too damn well. But, he is just there, dilly dallying in his office, assuming that I will be skipping his challenge but he thought wrong. If I were to find an alternative herb, the doctor could use to treat the flu, I will be triumphant in his freaking bet. I will have to win another one and finally, be free from him. I’ll be back to that darned kingdom and return to my clean-up job. That would be better than being stuck here, wasting my t

:RHYS’s POV“My my, beasty actually got sick!” That black-haired demon upsettingly uttered, as he stood beside the end of my bed. “I never thought a human body be this frail.”“I am so sorry, Lady Rhys, I shouldn’t have left you yesterday.” The dragon girl spoke up next, apologizing about that bygone moment. “David will help with the search in your stead so please, be at ease.”“Lady Rhy-su,” A familiar sweet voice of a girl then softly fretted, “Get well soon for Theon,”“That is enough guys, give the Lady a rest,” Another voice broke out somewhere from the door, which I was entirely not aware who it was.“Aww, come on Fish, just for a minute.” The young girl then again sadly pouted.I listened to their faint footsteps as they headed out one by one, before closing the door behind.Th

: ANEMONE’s POV“I will search at the southern part of the riverbank, while David, take the north,” I instructed when the three of us finally reached the river bank at the deeper part of the forest to continue our search.“Mister Ryu, if you don’t mind, search around this area, but do not stroll too far. We will meet here at lunchtime.”They all nodded before we went to our separate ways.Since we dragons are susceptible to danger, being alone is not a big deal, for a mere beast does not stand a chance.We already know what the elder tree and hyssop look like after research last night. Master Theon managed to find a sketch of those two in a medical book that Fish bought from the market, and Lady Rhys was right, it is pretty convenient for flu and the fact that it was growing somewhere in this kind of place made her intuition even more remarkable.“She is s
