“Sh*t,” exclaimed Ruby. She summoned out her fifth spiritual power, the tortoise. “Absolute defense!” Her turtle’s shell emerged and protected her from the serpent’s deadly poison. Shielding herself from the toxic spray. Everything was covered in a mist of thick pink fog. “RUBY!” shouted Eric. He pounded on the shield. Kevin and the rest of the group was also banging on the shield. “Can you hear us my lady!” shouted Tabitha. She was floating above Eric. “How can this be?” asked Eric. “Eric, did you break the spell?” asked Theo. “Yes. Yes, I did.” “Wait! Hold up. Hold up!” said Tabitha. “Come on, break!” grunted Eric. “Why won’t it budge?” asked Kevin. “Back up, back up!” ushered Tabitha. “What is it?” asked Eric. “Who’s this?” asked Kevin. “I’m the Fairy Princess’s fairy,” said Tabitha. “What’s wrong?” asked Eric. “You will never break it in your lifetime, if my guess is right.” “What!” “What does that mean?” asked Zachery. “How is it not breakable?” asked John. “What
“Ruby? Ruby, Are you hurt?” asked Samantha. She was smiling wickedly on the inside. Ruby smacked her hand away and pulled the arrow out of her heart and pierced it into Samantha’s heart.Samantha was screaming as she stabbed. “Samantha!” shouted Duke Wild. Ruby pushed Samantha backward and she fell on the ground with a thud.“How dare you!" shouted Duke Wild. "She was just worrying about you. How dare you hurt my granddaughter!” Ruby was furious. Her eyes was glaring at him with anger. Her aura was spitting out bloody murder. "You-" “Don’t touch her! She’s my princess consort!” shouted Eric. “How dare you! She tries to murder my granddaughter in front of me and everyone else and you dare protect her!” "I will protect her. She's my wife." Ruby smiled at Eric. She was full of warmth by the kindness of her husband's protectiveness. "Step aside." "Never."“And what about you? You tried to murder me. You haven’t even paid for your sins yet!” shouted Ruby, in a fiery voice.“You
“Lies! How could I use such a spelling? If it’s a secret to them, why would they teach me? You’re lying!” shouted Samantha. She was slowly feeling the pain of the bloodthirst.“I can answer that,” said the tribe leader of the Nomad. “Tribe leader,” said Ruby. She bowed in respect to him.“What are you doing here?” asked Eric.“I felt the bloodthirst being used. So, I teleported here," answered the Trible Leader. He was looking at Samantha.Samantha didn’t say anything. She couldn’t believe that they had found her. She’s been caught. She must continue to lie or else they would all know this is all her doing. The assassination and the attempt to poison Ruby. “You stole our secret book for this evil purposes? Humph! Karma have its way with those who are wicked!” exclaimed the tribe leader.“Lies! All lies!” shouted Samantha.“How could it be a lie?” asked Ruby, she was smiling at Samantha.“Prove it,” said Samantha, glaring at Ruby.“Sure. Look at your hands.”Samantha stared at her han
“You will stay in the darkest dungeon. Engulfing in your own madness,” said Eric. Samantha was screaming and wailing as the guards took her away. “Make sure she suffers miserable for the rest of her life,” said Eric. “Master, please! She’s my granddaughter," said Duke Henry. “And what about Ruby? She’s your best friend’s granddaughter!” exclaimed Theo. “What does she have to do with my bloodline?” “Because she’s also part of your Vermilion Bird Clan. How can you be so selfish?” “She was expelled years ago. She no longer belongs to my clan." “There's no need to be in a greedy clan. I wouldn’t want to taint my reputation with a clan like yours,” said Ruby. “That’s right. Ruby maybe half of the Vermilion Bird Clan, but she is also half-blood of the Green Tortoise Clan as well,” said Duke Elon. “Dad? You came back?” asked Kevin. Duke Elon nodded. “What do you mean?” asked Eric. Duke Elon pulled out of his hand a green gemstone. It glowed in the presence of Ruby. “The gem
“Oh, that would explain why you’re so spoiled.”Everyone laughed. “Humph. I shall take my leave now,” said Duke Henry. “Don’t think that you are getting away unscratched,” said Eric. He looked at Duke Wild with resentment. “What do you mean? My granddaughter is paying for her crimes already.” “I meant your crime. A word of apology is not enough for attempting to murder my wife.” Duke Henry chuckled and said, “Well, I’m sure it’s just a misunderstand-“ “You will have to answer for your own crime,” said Theo. He looked at his student. He spoke to him coldly like he always does. “Why are you always defending them?” “Who?” “Ethan.” “What about him?” “You always treated him different than me.” “It’s because he was my favorite student.” Duke Wild frowned. Trying not to show his rage of jealousy he hid it between his brows. “Of course, he is.” “You won’t get away for trying to kill me, nor stealing my grandfather’s spiritual power,” said Ruby. “Fine! Do what you must then!” ex
Ruby kissed him. After she was done kissing him, she said, “I know.”“I always thought to myself why is it that you never gave up on me. Why is it that even after I took you by force you never blamed me… I try to think of all the reasoning. However only one came to my mind.”“It’s because I love you.”“What?”“I love you.”“Say it again.”“I love you, Eric.Eric was smiling and laughing sweetly, he hugged her tightly in his chest.“I knew it.”“How long have you known?”“I don’t know. I guess I always have.”“Oh.” "Ruby, I have always love you." “I know, and I love you too.” “No. I mean I have never stopped loving you.”“You mean-”“Yes. Even after all these years.”Ruby tilted her head at him. He caresses her face and said, "Ruby, you should know I never stopped thinking about you.”“But how? You said I caused you too much headache.”“Well, maybe because every time I thought of you it makes my heart ache and sorrow when you’re hurt. I never understood why, but now I do.”“But I th
“So, you mean you built that place for me?”“Yes.”“So, you were already planning to take care of me?”“Yes. I hire those three to help you heal your broken limbs… However…”“What is it?”"I wasn't planning to marry Samantha.""Lies.""Honestly.""Then... Why did you propose to her.""I did it so she wouldn't know that I had feelings for you.""Feelings for me?""Yes. As you see, my feelings for you started to grow and it started to show. Like a lot.""Oh.""Just so you know, I was hoping that somewhere along the line I get injured and become cripple." Eric scooted closer to her. "I was hoping she find me unmarriable and just leave me alone.""Hmmm. Interesting plan you got there."“Well, I did plan to keep you forever.”“You mean…”“Yes, it means you would stay with me.”“Oh, was I now?”“You were so beautiful, smart, talented, and gifted. I couldn’t bear to part with you. I couldn’t bear to lose you to another man. The thought of being separated from you for the rest of my life was
DUKE WILD’S MANSION“Are you sure of it?” asked Duke Wild.“I’m pretty certain of it,” said a woman in a mask. “You have to be a hundred precent sure.”“I saw her being carried away, and she was badly injured.” “How bad is it?”“That I’m not sure.” “Humph, and you call yourself a trustworthy ally.”The woman in the mask gasped and said, “My lord, know that she was coughing up blood.”“Blood?”“Yes. After they went into the palace, many physicians was summoned.”“Oh.”“The physicians were all saying that Prince Eric is to prepare for her burial.”“You’re sure of that.”“Yes, my lord.”Duke Wild smiled that Ruby did indeed got injured, and he was happy about it. Now, he just have to find a way to end her life without anyone knowing. He will have to send in his most trusted spy to finish the work when no one is around. “That damn Ruby. She nearly ruined my whole family and my reputation. I will make her pay.”NEXT WEEK“Why haven’t you killed her yet?” shouted Duke Wild.“Because Pri
