Blood and Darkness Chapter 55: Smell of Stones
"What do you think happened to Mr. Elixr?" I whispered to Demitri when we were already in our way out of the bordello. The others were busy checking out the wine."I have no idea," he answered."Really? The mighty crown prince of the most powerful kingdom in the east, no idea?"He smirked and shook his head. I thought he would send me back to the carriage but I was surprised when he pulled me towards his black stallion."Want to have your first ride with me?"My eyes widened. I didn't expect that!"Are you serious?""I am." "Let's go then!"He cocked his head, hiding his face from the warm sunlight. I bit the insides of my lip as I watched his features carefully. Even in broad daylight, the darkness in his eyes was unforgiving. Though in spite the hardness and traces of storm in his face, there's no doubt he is a masterpiece. And I would definitely not get tired of staring at his face all day long."Quit staring. I might think you already fell in love with me."My jaw literally dropp
Blood and Darkness Chapter 56: Rare Wine
"Blood of the Wise is a very rare wine, Your Highness. It's one of our collection, but we only have one..." Fear was evident on Orion's voice but he sounded like he was implying that he can't give it to us because it's the only one."I'm willing to pay. How much?" Demitri got something on his pocket, a pouch of gold I suppose, and it fell down before Orion's feet."We can give you more if you want. Just give us the wine," Prince David said."We're willing to negotiate in terms of the price, but we don't have lots of patient, Mr. Orion. I hope you understood what I'm implying." Prince Martin was dead serious as he said those words. Gone the playful smiles and smirks. All I can see now is a lethal prince who would not hesitate of killing someone."What is happening here?" I heard a new voice just a second after the door opened.We all turned to see the newcomer.A man probably around Orion's age. Tall, lean, wearing a black cloak and a black hat. He looked dangerous. Who is he?"We have
Blood and Darkness Chapter 57: Raja Knows
"What did you mean, Princess? Do you know what kind of dragon that is?" Prince David looked around, getting ready for any possible attacks."A blue dragon." I gulped before I proceeded to my scripted explanation. "A dragon that can manipulate heavenly elements such as lightning and thunder.""Well, that explains why its growl was accompanied by a thunder." Prince Martin nodded."You seem to have a lot of knowledge about dragons, Princess." It was a statement not a question. But regardless, it sounded like one."Uh, I just... read a lot. That's all..." I explained hesitantly.About a fraction of second after I what I said, we heard a strange sound from huge wings flipping over the air somewhere near us. Demitri held my wrist at once and pulled me towards his back, shielding me with his body from any potential danger."You said you can communicate with dragons, right, Princess? How about you communicate with him or her?"'Him. He's a male,' Raja corrected. I rolled my eyes and echoed th
Blood and Darkness Chapter 58: Strongest Kind
'Are you sure?''Have you not read about the dragon's sharp senses? When it comes to tracing, dragons are the best. We can trace anything just with our sense of smell.''And how were you able to do that? You're just in my soul.''Through you, of course. My soul is part of yours, that means I would be conscious of my surrounding through your body.'I cleared my throat before speaking."Uh, I think we should follow this way," I pointed the path on my right."Why do you think so, Princess?" Prince David tilted his head to look at me. The others also waited for my answer."I can smell the stones of a cave in this path... I think we are getting near." I'm not sure if I sound convincing enough. They looked confused so maybe I wasn't."You can smell that?" Demitri asked.I swallowed the lump in my throat."Is that part of your ability? The strong sense of smell?" from Prince David.How should I answer that in the most natural way? Was there even any normal person who has that kind of sense o
Blood and Darkness Chapter 59: Stealing is a Crime
'How?' I asked Raja.'Blue dragons have only one weakness. Fire.'What? You should have told me earlier!'Even if you have the ability to manipulate fire, I don't think you can make an arrow out of fire. One should hit the eyes of the blue dragon with a fire arrow. It won't kill him but it can blind him for moments, then the princes can do something to paralyze him afterwards.'Fire arrow. I had never did that nor I tried. I also don't think I can do that, but...I looked at the Demitri... Prince David... Prince Martin... Prince Evan. They are all struggling to defeat the magical dragon in order to save the queen. Will I just stand aside and do nothing while they are facing such risk? Will I just watch them fighting while I stay behind?No. I should at least try. After all, there is no harm in trying.'Right,' Raja agreed. 'You may try but if you can't do it, don't push yourself too much. You know you are still in the early stage of your training.'I inhaled and exhaled. I closed my e
Blood and Darkness Chapter 60: Agreement
'He wants something from you, my lady,' Raja suddenly talked.What? You mean the magical healer wants something from me?'Yes. He relayed the message through his dragon. He knows you are also a dragon summoner.'What would he want from me? And what is this? A private talk? 'He wants it to be private because he wants you to make the decision yourself without the influence of the princes. Honestly, I don't like the idea of it, but I think I should relay the message right.'What does he wants from me?'He promised to give you the cure if you would do something in return. You should find his only son.'My lips parted a bit. His son? But why me? He should have asked that to the princes instead considering that they are more capable of doing it.'Because he wants you to marry his son.'What did you say, Raja? You are only joking, aren't you? You can't be serious.'My apologies, but I'm serious, my lady.''So, what? You are really telling me that he asked me to marry his son? That's ridicu
Blood and Darkness Chapter 61: Bold Accusation
"Indeed, Father," Demitri agreed. "Who is training you, then? If you don't have a trainer yet, I can give you one-""I can train her, Uncle. I'm very skilled-" Prince Evan was cut by Demitri."She already has one, Father." Then he looked at Prince Evan, his eyes turned like sharp silver. "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Evan, but my bride already has her personal trainer, which is me."Prince David smiled playfully at his brother."I was about to offer my free service, too."Demitri glared at Prince David."Well, that's good then," the King said and was about to say more when the chief of royal guards suddenly interrupted our breakfast."Your Majesty," he bowed his head as respect. "My apologies if I interrupted your breakfast, but this is an urgent matter and you told me to report to you right away once we already have information about the poisoning of the queen."The king shifted on his seat and everyone became serious."Do you already know who is the culprit?" The king asked.
Blood and Darkness Chapter 62: Hot and Cold
"Are you feeling sick, Your Highness?" one of my court ladies asked when I didn't leave my bed yet. "No. Just a minute." Truth is, I feel like my body is so heavy that's why I don't want to get up. Probably because of the journey. Or maybe due to the stress I've went through last night thinking of how I would say to Demitri and his family that I will leave. At the end, I couldn't think of a strong alibi."How is the Her Majesty? Did you hear any news?" I asked while I'm in front of the huge mirror and the court ladies are assisting me in wearing all the necessary layers of clothes which is a burden to every living lady."We heard that she is already awake and is now doing well, Your Highness."I sighed in relief. My soul can now finally have its peace knowing that the queen is safe from the dangerous poison. To know that is enough for me even though no one will know what sacrifice I have to make. At least I know that I did what is right and could benefit everyone."How about the culp
