🎀 CHAPTER THIRTEEN 🎀

The corridor was narrow, lanterns swaying gently with the ship’s movement. Asher walked ahead, Kai a step behind, heading toward the room where Princess Zayla had been kept.

They were halfway there when hurried footsteps approached.

Guards rushed toward them, faces pale.

One of them dropped to a knee. “My lord… the princess is missing.”

Asher stopped.

“Missing?” The word came out low. Dangerous.

He brushed past them and went straight to the room himself.

The door stood ajar.

The space inside was empty.

No girl. No struggle. Just silence.

Asher’s control snapped.

“Search the entire ship!” he roared. “Every deck. Every corner. If she’s hiding, drag her out. If she’s gone—find out how.”

The guards scattered at once.

Asher turned sharply, already changing direction. Kai was still behind him.

“Find who talked to her last." Asher said coldly. “Bring them to me.”

Kai bowed once and broke away down another corridor.

    🎀CHAPTER EIGHTEEN🎀 Nil froze. He didn’t say a word at first. Then, finally, he spoke, his voice steady but careful. “Your Majesty… I don’t feel that way about her,” he said. “I’m… just worried, that’s all.” King Edric gave a slow nod, eyes narrowing slightly, as if he was already tired of talking. “Right,” he said, his tone flat, almost dismissive. “Do whatever you want. Let’s see how far you can go…" The king turned and walked away, his cloak swishing behind him. Nil remained where he stood, shoulders squared, eyes following the king for a long moment before finally turning and walking off himself. ************************* The carriage finally came to a stop at Asher’s palace. Zayla peered out through the small window, eyes wide. The palace… wow. She had fully woken by now, blinking as reality settled. How had she dozed off like that? She felt a little foolish. The doors opened, and she was gently ushered out. Her gaze followed Lord Asher, already striding

    🎀 CHAPTER SEVENTEEN🎀 HARROW PALACE “Your Majesty?” Minister William stood before the throne, hands folded, waiting. King Edric didn’t respond. His eyes were fixed ahead, unfocused, his thoughts clearly somewhere else. “Your Majesty?” William tried again. Still nothing. “Your Majesty.” Edric blinked, finally pulled back to the room. “Hm? What were you saying?” William cleared his throat. “I was asking whether we should send soldiers to retrieve the princess.” If only this man knew. That he had given his daughter away. She wasn’t kidnapped. “There’s no need for that,” the king said firmly. The doors opened, and a guard stepped in. “The crown prince is here, Your Majesty.” Edric straightened at once. “Let him in.” Nil entered the throne room and bowed. Minister William excused himself quickly, and the guard followed him out, leaving both of them alone. “You shouldn’t have sent your soldiers yesterday,” Edric said, his voice sharp. “You caused unnecessary

    🎀CHAPTER SIXTEEN🎀 Nil let out a slow breath and rubbed a hand over his forehead. “This is getting complicated,” he muttered. He straightened and looked at Orion. “I’ll figure it out later. For now, prepare my horse.” Orion bowed once. “As you wish, Your Highness.” Then he turned and left the chamber quietly. Nil leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling for a moment. “So troublesome” he sighed under his breath. Then, softer, almost to himself, he said, “Hold on, Zayla. I’m coming.” A knock sounded at the door. Before he could respond, it opened. Sera stepped inside, holding a tray with a teapot and a single cup. Steam curled faintly into the air. “I brought you tea, Your Highness,” she said gently. “At least… you’ll accept this one.” Nil glanced at the tray, then at her. He sighed again, this time less tense. “Fine,” he said, reaching out. “I’ll take it. Thank you.” Sera gave a small smile and set the tray down carefully. She left quietly, clos

    If you’ve read chapters 1 to 15, first, thank you. I mean it. Thank you for taking the time to step into this world, for following Zayla through everything she’s faced so far, and for spending time with characters I’ve grown so attached to. It means a lot to me that you’ve allowed yourself to live in this story, even for just a little while. You’ve seen Zayla in all sorts of situations—confused, scared, frustrated, and stubborn as ever. You’ve seen her fight, survive, and push herself forward, even when the odds are stacked against her. You’ve met Asher—intense, dangerous, golden-eyed, and impossible to ignore. You’ve gotten glimpses of the bigger world, too: the kingdoms, the rules, the secrets, and the power struggles that shape everything around them. And I hope you’ve felt the tension, the risk, and the thrill that comes with every choice these characters make. Reading this far means you’re already part of the story. You understand the stakes, the danger, and the connections

    🎀 CHAPTER FIFTEEN🎀 The boat scraped softly against the shore, nearly on dry land. The eagle suddenly spread its wings. With one powerful flap, it lifted into the air and disappeared into the sky. Zayla watched it go, her brows knitting together. She turned her gaze forward. Men stood ahead—armed, alert. Beside them were carriages, dark and imposing against the pale ground. When the boat finally settled on dry land, Zayla didn’t move. She stayed seated, fingers gripping the edge of the boat. One of the men stepped forward and offered his hand. She flinched back sharply. “Who are you?” she blurted out, panic rising. “Are you here to kidnap me? My husband-to-be is Lord Asher. Do you still want to harm his wife?” The men behind him exchanged glances but said nothing. The man in front withdrew his hand slowly. “I am General Vaelor,” he said calmly. “We are here to escort Lord Asher.” He paused, then added, “After his lordship sent word last night, we departed im

    🎀CHAPTER FOURTEEN🎀 The next morning. Vatrish Palace. Prince Nil’s eyes flickered open, heavy and sluggish. The first thing he saw was Sera’s worried face hovering over him, a small towel poised in her hand, frozen mid-air. He tried to sit up. “Easy, Your Highness,” she said gently, helping him upright. Her touch was careful, steady. “You’re awake.” A small, relieved smile tugged at her lips. “I’ll go inform everyone.” She let the towel drop into the basin and left the room, the soft click of the door marking her departure. ********************************* Queen Selith came rushing in, even his elder sister by her side, the King was still tied up in a meeting. Everyone’s worry was written on their faces. When Queen Selith pushed the door open… the bed was empty. “Where in the world has he gone?!” she snapped, panic lacing her voice. Sera peeked around the door, squinting. Meanwhile, Nil had slipped out to check on his soldiers. He leaned casually again
