Darun continued to do his best to train according to his father's expectations for him, while doing his best to avoid Geran who seemed to always find a way to bump into him.While he did all he could to avoid him like a chronic plague.Fera also made her presence known, always taking strolls around the palace in a particularly cheerful mood with a permanent smile on her face.Even though she didn’t take her sword training as Hurai took hers, as she continued to attend all the lessons that were being given by Geran, who saw no harm in continuing to teach her, a little amused to see the tenacity with which she wanted to learn.Hurai continued with her sword lessons for the following two days while also taking the time out to overlook the new servants that were newly hired into her quarters, especially Xena, her friend who she ensured was placed in her quarters.The moment she was done with morning training, Hurai hurried back to her room, glad to see Xena already waiting there for her wi

His body was soaked in sweat, something he was delighted about since there was no way Geran would touch him.But unknown to him, the image Geran saw was completely different as the sweat all over Darun’s body made the white training uniform he wore stick closer to his skin, making it transparent enough for Geran to see Darun’s skin, which made his body look tempting enough for him to want to touch.“Don’t come any closer, you can do whatever you like on the other side of the hall,” Darun said, noting Geran’s roaming gaze on his body.Annoyed, Darun simply went ahead to turn his back on Geran, holding his sword in his own hand as he continued to swing it against the wooden dummy in front of him, while ensuring that the sword didn’t in any way get stuck.He continued this for a while without paying any attention to Geran who he assumed had either ignored him or left the room after not hearing a single sound from him only to suddenly hear the shrill sound of an iron weapon being released

Kingdom of ElfinaKal stood behind a tree at the border of the council hall belonging to the witches with Talon right behind him.He would have liked to bring more people with him, but he was also aware that the more people knew what his mission was the more dangerous it would be.For Kal it wouldn’t even be remotely surprising for him to find out that his caring father, king Locan had released some sort of information about his movements, considering that it would be easier to kill two birds with a single stone.The only useful magic artifact he had taken from the royal store were two gold rings whose ability was to render the user invisible.He had given one to Talon and worn the other on the index finger of his right hand, which was the main reason they had been able to get so close to the Council hall of the Kingdom of Elfina, which could be likened to a royal palace in other kingdoms.Still, Kal couldn’t help but worry about what they would do if they were to come across high-rank

“Relax…I’m a friend,” he continued to speak and Kal merely tightened the hold he had on his sword.Many unforeseen things have been happening since he began the mission, something he wasn’t comfortable with at all. From what he could tell, seeing as how easily the person in front of him had gotten close to them without either he or Talon being able to tell, it was obvious that he was a high-ranking wizard that was proficient in the use of magic.“Then state your business…” Kal responded in a largely unfriendly tone that made it obvious that whosoever was, he wasn't welcome there.Holding his sword in his hand, Kal was so wary of him that he was confident that if he so much as watched him make any unnecessary movements he would cut him down.Talon also had the same idea as he stood beside Kal, gripping his own sword, his eyes not leaving the stranger in front of them even for a second.“Shouldn’t I be the one asking such a question…wait…wait…” the stranger quickly said, raising both hi

The moment Kal and Talon were done with all Kal planned to do in the Blodinek kingdom, they ran as quickly as they could, back to the big palace where both the royal families of both the Lunera Kingdom and of the Blodinek Kingdom lived.Kal was intent on still making it in time for the ceremony even if he didn’t arrive early enough.But first, he needed to meet up with his father, King Locan, and give him details regarding his mission, considering the fact that he was sure that his father would already have heard about the bloody trail he left behind in the kingdom.The moment he entered his study after being allowed in by the guards in front he could already see his father fuming in anger, even as he was decked in his official royal red robes.“Did you hear? Have you heard?” he yelled at the top of his voice, not at all hiding the great anger that boiled on inside of him.“Those bastards somehow found a way to attack the nobles and went ahead to kill a lot of them,” Kal heard his fath
