Of course, he was aware of all that had happened a minute ago and he was well aware of most things that went on in the princess's room but like the loyal guard that he was, he knew it was none of his business.Anything apart from protecting her wasn’t something he should concern himself with, Dari thought while staring at Allen with a slight tint of disapproval in his eyes.He couldn’t help but wonder why Allen couldn’t also do that as he watched him grit his teeth in anger, and walk towards him to stand beside him in silence, even if he could feel the boiling anger he felt coming off him in waves. Fera on the other hand stared at her reflection in the mirror, satisfied at the blood-red gown she wore since it matched the small red crown that had been fixed to her head.It was taboo for anyone to wear a crown where the king was, especially since he would be wearing his own, but Fera had specially gotten permission from Horansi himself.Stating the fact that she needed it, if she was go
It was almost like he was announcing that they were on the edge of a huge split, something he was willing to allow, as long as King Horansi didn’t dare to become friends with the Kingdom of Elfina.The moment it was time to get moving, the three of them began walking slowly at a perfect pace forward towards the throne with the guests standing on either side of them, watching them.Fera and Hurai kept light smiles on their face while Darun struggled to keep a fierce expression on his face while trying to ignore the pain that lingered in his body.To make matters worse, he felt Geran’s eyes fixed on his every move as he sat beside his parents at the head of the hall with Kal, his brother by his side.“Can you please act properly for once,” Darun cursed in his mind, knowing better than to glance at him even for a second, knowing that his every move was being watched by everyone in the hall even more than that of his sisters who walked on either side of him.“You can do it…you can do it,”
The only person who he cared about was Darun and he would be damned if someone were to hurt him.Unsurprisingly, Kal had the exact same thoughts towards Hurai, as he fixed his eyes firmly on her own tub.He had also made some preparations and arranged for his own men to also stay close by including Sir Mallum who was still disguised as one of King Horansi’s head of shadow guards.His eyes glanced at every corner of the rook to ensure that the second something happened, he would know about it.Every inch of the hall was calm and a few more minutes passed with Darun, Fera, and Hurai, submerged entirely in the tub from their head to their toes, leaving only their noses poking out, with enough space for them to breathe.However just when everything seemed to be completely calm, and everyone was already expecting the ceremony to go without a hitch, considering the fact that Darun, Hurai, and Fera had been submerged in their respective tubs for a while, with only the tip of their noses peeki
He had no idea what was going to happen next, and showing all his hidden cards was the last thing he wanted to do.But regardless of how much they were being attacked, they still made sure to keep an eye on the tubs which was why the second some of the attackers got too close to it, Kal and Geran almost like they were working together quickly closed in on them, intent on destroying them all in seconds.Kal was the first to be done with his sides, a little surprised at how many more of the intruders seemed intent on bypassing Geran, who seemed to stand in the direction leading up to their father.Still, both of them were slightly distracted, which was why by the time Kal noticed that one of the masked intruders stood dangerously close to the tubs about three feet away, he began to walk closer to end their life.This was why he was completely unprepared to suddenly see something being flung into the air in a wild circle, shocked to watch some form of powdery substance begin to fall all a
Still, in his heart, Horansi was determined to continue to be king for another hundred years until he passed away.Geran and Kal completely ignored Horansi’s orders to leave and continued to hover around, especially Kal who didn’t like how close King Horansi stood over Hurai, when he should have been attending to his son who was obviously in pain.“Aaaah….” Darun continued to groan in pain, while Geran had no choice but to stand to the side and watch him unable to do anything else, as he looked on with a clearly worried expression on his face.“Never would I have thought…” Kal whispered to himself, watching the serious expression that was plastered on the face of his brother with mild interest, even as he focused his entire attention on Hurai who was the only one he cared about at that moment.The fights going on in the half intensified and just when the royals and all the nobles watched on, with the confidence that all the intruders would be defeated and nothing wrong would happen.Hu
Geran though was the opposite. Never had he cared about someone like he did for Darun, or wanted to be close to someone, yet the minute he did, he was at the edge of death and he could do nothing about it.Even if this is Karma I don’t deserve something like this.Knowing that he had never actually wanted the throne and now, he couldn’t even have the single most important thing he wanted to keep for himself.Minutes passed by in the blink of an eye. The eyes of almost everyone in the hall were glued on Fera, and Hurai’s newly transformed wolf, as they all began to wait for them to get up and open their eyes, and when they finally did, the citizens of Lunera gasped in relief and delight.The princesses who they thought were about to die, not only lived but became stronger than they thought they would be.Maybe we need to also get whatever that masked person sprayed in the water for our children, most of them thought to themselves.“Mirrors…” King Horansi ordered, watching the both of th
“I would run after him if I were you,” Kal whispered to Geran who seemed not to pay any attention to him when he heard him speak.It was already obvious that he had signaled to his men and was ready to dash away, the moment he watched King Horansi signal to his knights to help Darun up and lead him back to his quarters.I won’t let you go no matter what, Geran thought, watching the King announce the end of the ceremony and turning around to leave the next instant.“Kal…Geran,” King Locan ordered the next instant, calling them to his side with an urgent tone in his voice, one that instantly froze Geran in place for a second before he got moving in the next second, blatantly ignoring the king’s summons.Still, he sent a simple glance at Kal.“Cover for me,” one that Kal instantly understood and nodded in agreement to.The next moment Geran was outside using his sense of smell to the best of his ability while trying to sniff out Darun’s whereabouts.His familiar scent was one that he was
King Horansi, instantly gave instructions the moment he left the hall right after he ordered his knights to help carry Darun out of the hall before him to his quarters, which of course meant anywhere but his quarters.He ordered his two female children to head back to their quarters and quickly ran forward to meet his knights who were already waiting for him at the back entrance of the hall, where he gave them instructions to follow.In a blink of an eye, he had grabbed one of Darun’s hands as he leaned tiredly into the closest knight to him, slashing his wrists and drawing as much blood as he thought was required into the small wine cup he had been drinking from, filling it to the brim before finally letting go.He then went ahead to seal the wounds with a piece of material that he tore from Darun’s wet clothes, which he trembled from wearing for too long.King Horansi handed the cup to the head of the royal knights before instructing him on how best to use it, calling for his shadow
