Chapter 95Myra sat in her chambers, the room seemingly closing in on her as she tried to process the shocking information she had just learned. She couldn't believe that Oswald, the man she had once loved and trusted, could have the heart to kill. Her mind raced with thoughts about the safety of her one-year-old daughter, Allistar. She glanced at the sleeping child, her heart pounding with fear. Wouldn't Oswald want to hurt the child simply because she was Aeron's?As she sat in silence, her thoughts interrupted by the sound of her name being called. Myra looked around but saw no one. Confusion filled her eyes as she tried to identify the source of the voice. Suddenly, her attention was drawn to the mirror on the wall. A soft glow emanated from it, drawing her closer.Approaching the mirror cautiously, Myra's eyes widened as she saw the reflection of Pelenore, a great wizard, appearing in the glass. She instinctively bowed slightly, showing respect as she greeted him, "Great Wizard."
Chapter 96Myra emerged from Baron's chamber with a shy smile on her face. She felt the butterflies in her stomach fluttering as she turned to him, her gratitude bubbling over. "Thank you, Baron, for always answering my call no matter when it comes." she says softly, her voice filled with gratitude. "I don't know what I would do without youBaron smiled warmly at her. "Myra, it's always my pleasure to help you. You know I will always be there for you, no matter what."As Myra and Baron exchanged these words, Oswald stood in the shadows, watching them. His eyes narrowed with a mix of jealously, anger, and pain. Myra was aware of his presence, but she pretended not to notice. With a sly glint in her eyes, she leaned in and hugged Baron tightly, knowing that her actions would only stoke the flames of Oswald's jealousy.As she released Baron and left, Myra took slow, purposeful steps through the corridors of the palace. She knew that Oswald would follow her, and sure enough, she heard his
Chapter 97Simon stood in his chamber, preparing to retire for the night. As he settled down into his bed and closed his eyes, a knock on his chamber door startled him.Thinking it would be Oswald or Baron, Simon hurriedly made his way to the door and opened it, only to find Myra standing there. His breath caught in his throat, and he stuttered, trying to say something. But before he could utter a coherent word, Myra pushed past him and walked into the chamber.Confused and taken aback, Simon followed her. "Myra, I... I'm sorry. I should have told you that I followed you. I just couldn't imagine a life without you, and..." he began, desperately trying to explain himself.To his surprise, Myra burst into laughter. The sound was harsh and mocking, echoing through the chamber. She laughed for a while before abruptly stopping, then looked at Simon dead in the eye. "I wouldn't have bought that if I didn't know the truth," she said, her voice dripping with disdain.Simon's heart sank as he
Chapter 98"where is it?" He muttered under his breath, his breathing ragged and unsteady. As he paced his bedroom, he pulled open his drawers and searched through items stacked messily on the table."Ahrrrghhhh!" A frustrated groan escaped his lips."I know it's in here somewhere." He thought out loud, but he probably couldn't find it because the rage he felt had blurred his vision.Augustine was angry. No, he was livid and seething to the point that his entire being shook. He opened his wardrobe and found what he was searching for."Gotcha." He said in an eerie voice, his eyes darkening and focusing on the knife in his hands with clearly sharp edges "I didn't want it to come to this myra, but you forced my hand." His eyes didn't show any remorse though.He hid the knife in his cloak and stealthily left his room, shutting the door behind him and heading for Myra's room.Three gentle taps sounded on the door but no reply came from within. She was already asleep.Another knock, and t
Chapter 99In the dark, secluded forest, Baron and Oswald stood before an army of 500 men. The moon's eerie glow cast shadows amongst the towering trees, adding an otherworldly atmosphere to their mysterious undertaking. Baron held a gleaming cup in his hand, the metal shimmering in the dim light. With a knowing glint in his eyes, he began a swift incantation, sending a wave of energy through the air. The cup responded, its surface slowly emanating a soft, ethereal glow.Approaching the first soldier in line, Baron dipped his blade into the cup, gliding the sharp edge across the soldier's thumb with a practiced hand. The soldier winced, a drop of crimson blood staining the blade. Baron moved swiftly down the line, repeating the process with each man until finally, the cup was filled with their life essence.With an air of confidence, Baron lifted the cup, his voice deep and commanding. Another incantation fell from his lips, resonating through the forest like a sinister chant. As if a
Chapter 100Myra sat on the floor of her room, surrounded by colorful toys, as her one-year-old daughter, Allistar, giggled and played with the stuffed animals. She enjoyed these precious moments with her daughter, knowing that they were fleeting and that she would soon grow up too fast. As she cooed and laughed with her little girl, she suddenly heard the door creak open, and she turned to see Oswald, standing in the doorway.Startled by his unexpected appearance, Myra quickly composed herself and flashed him a warm smile. "Oswald, when did you return?" she asked, happy to see him after his absence.Oswald's usual calm demeanor was replaced with a tense expression, and Myra's heart sank as she sensed that something was wrong. She gently placed Allistar on the bed and walked over to Oswald, taking his hand in hers. "What's the matter?" she asked with concern, searching his eyes for an answer.Oswald faced her, his jaw clenched. "I just returned now and saw you with Baron," he said, hi
Chapter 101The air was thick with anticipation as Pelenore and Aeron led their troop of two hundred men towards the cave, winding its way through dense forests and jagged cliffs. The men marched with determination, their swords glinting in the sunlight.Finally, they reached the entrance of the cave. Its gaping maw seemed to beckon them inward. As they stepped inside, the darkness enveloped them, and the damp smell of earth filled their nostrils.The cave opened up into a vast space, illuminated only by torchlight. Pelenore's keen eyes caught sight of ancient markings etched onto the ground. They seemed to depict celestial configurations and intricate symbols.Pelenore turned to his men and commanded, "Form four circles, fifty men each!" The soldiers swiftly obeyed, arranging themselves in perfect synchronization. Pelenore stepped forward, holding a whitish powdery substance in his hand. He circled each group, sprinkling the substance around them.With his task complete, Pelenore ste
Chapter 102The tension in the air was so thick, you could practically cut it with a knife. Myra, Baron, Oswald, and baby Allistar sat at the grand dining table in the opulent palace. The usual lively chatter that filled the room during breakfast was replaced by an eerie silence, disrupted only by the occasional excited coos of Allistar as Myra fed her.Baron, Myra's husband, stared at her intently, concern etched on his face. Finally, breaking the silence, he turned to her and asked in a soft voice, "Myra, how are your nightmares? Are they gradually fading?"Myra forced a smile and replied, "Yes, Baron. They are slowly fading. I'm starting to sleep better." Baron offered a nod of relief before muttering, "Good."However, Oswald, Baron's cousin, seemed to be seething with jealousy and irritation. Desperate to gain Myra's attention, he attempted to start a conversation with her. But before he could utter a word, a guard burst into the room, interrupting him.Oswald's anger immediately
