After Persephone left, Ruth turned her attention back to Tristan who finished his food. “What happened here? Did we miss something?” She asked in intrigue, turning her head to Leona who was lost. “Leona? At least you say something.” She frowned, snapping her finger in her direction. “Why do you have something?” Felix said, offering her a plate, pouring himself from rice and gravy. “Thanks.” She smiled back but her curiosity was not filled. “At least say something. Avin?” She whined, wanting to be a part of this conversation. “Whatever. I am out.” Tristan scoffed, taking his plate, throwing them in the sink and going back to his room. “Persephone told everyone that Tristan is from the Tademono family.” Avin replied when he was done eating as well. “Oh, that.” They both mumbled, taking a bite of their food. “Aren’t you guys surprised!?” Leona snapped, when she was flabbergasted, her sister had no such reaction. “No, we know, for a long time.” Felix replied calmly. “Jade, it’s
Persephone went to Zadicus’ room but he was not present. Her eyebrows twitched in perplexity as she entered. His absence emitted a deep sigh from her lips. Frowning, she scrutinized his room. It was set up majestically how it was used to be back at his home in Aziel.From a chandelier to the king bed, all of it befitting for a King he is.As she was observing his room, familiar footsteps approached her. Stopping, she remained still when he appeared behind her, wrapping her hand around her waist, pressing his chest on her back.“Don’t touch me.” She breathed out, shivering when his large hands grasped her perfectly.“Why? I can do it.” He murmured on her neck, trailing his other hand from her shoulder.“However I want, wherever I want.” He hummed, kissing her neck, indulging in her tremble, leading the hand down to her hand.“Without my consent too?” She asked, affixing her gaze on his exquisite ones, smirking menacingly at her.“Resist me. Struggle under my grasp.” He growled, bitin
Past“First thing a gentleman does is to stay loyal to his girl.” Avin said, clearing his throat, giving Randall, Zen and Tristan tuitions.In other words, his usual scams to trick them to get their money.“But I thought we are going to get many girls.” Randall asked, displeased with his words.“The list never ends, Randall but if you will find the one near your heart, would you truly want to break her heart?” Avin asked, acting professionally.“Now you said it… I wouldn’t either.” Tristan said, holding his chin.“But only if we find the right one?” Zen asked in bewilderment.“Exactly.” He nodded.“Then this means we can get anyone before her!” Zen cheered, leading on a wrong path by his useless advice.“Exactly!” Avin nodded as they all began to cheer. Clearing idolizing a very wrong advice until another voice joined them.“You cannot break anyone’s heart. It’s a foul act to hurt anyone for your fun.” Kriss’ dominant voice came, his eyes were fixed on his book.“His Highness?” They
“What!?” Another voice joined them.They all gasped in terror that someone else might not have heard them.Turning their head and they saw Vera there, her jaw dropped in felicity but they all glared at her with a frown.“Vera!? What are you doing here?” Avin asked, she is his twin sister, they both are same in nature. A carbon copy.“I overheard your conversation.” She smirked, pushing Avin aside and sitting down as well.“Who told you to overhear? Could have joined us.” He shrugged.“I want to be a part of it too.” She grinned, excited to hear more of it, a grin not leaving his lips. “Promise you won’t tell anyone.” Zadicus said sternly, not believing her.“I swear, you can have my head Zadicus if my lips open.” She enunciated, putting her hand out, posing dramatically.“Hey, if you will give him your head, what am I gonna do?” Avin frowned, poking her from his elbow.“I don’t even know where you put your savings, I will be doomed.” He faked a dramatic reaction.“Don’t worry, my sou
A deep voice came.Shit. Shit. All of them thought at the same time, exchanging nervous looks.All of them straightened up immediately when Sir Zuka stood behind. Their hearts literally stopped in dread when his glare came to Tristan.“Father?!” They boy gasped. All of them stood up, upright like soldiers before him.“What is this language, Tristan?” His voice softened. His eyes were the same as his son’s light green accompanied by his long white hair and beard. “I apologize, Father.” He said tenderly, looking down.“This is not acceptable, I have guided you to keep your tongue clean but no, you have to soil it with foul words.” He sighed, shaking his head in disappointment.“I know I am wrong and I am sorry for doing the wrong thing.” He said, having not a single regret of saying it.That’s the reason he became friends with Randall and Zen or else this mind would have consumed his heart and adolescence.“At least you know you did something wrong.”Sir Zuka has never swore in his li
“Oh my God, I can’t believe we are going there.” Persephone breathed out when everyone left for their respective place.“Yes, We are, Love.” He laughed, kissing her hand.“But, would it be dangerous?” She asked as they walked down the forest, holding hands.“It won’t be, the relics won’t react unless provoked.” He reassured her, grinning.“I see. So we are safe.” She sighed in relief.“We will see it, what’s higher up haven’t seen but we are going to.” She giggled, resting her hand on her heart.“And it's a secret so make sure to keep your mouth sealed unless you don’t want to become a widow before our marriage.” He chuckled, shaking his head.“Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. Can’t bring you trouble, can I?” She laughed a little as they went to the local market in the capital.“Persephone.” Zadicus called after a while, wrapping his hand around her shoulder.“Hmm?” She hummed, looking around to find a food stall.“You’re so beautiful, you know.” He murmured, bringing a sheepish smile
“Come on, let’s take a peak from afar. Nobody is gonna know.” Zadicus giggled, gesturing to them to go inside as they walked. They all stopped at the edge, on a fair distance there was a silver rock lying over an obsidian.“That’s Fiend Forgery.” Zadicus told them, pointing at the silver rock.“The silver one?” Persephone asked.“Yeah.” He nodded.“It looks pretty ordinary.” Kriss frowned, displeased at the sight.“Did we come all the way here to look at a plain rock?” Vera asked, tilting her head in confusion.“Yeah, there is nothing great about it.” Avin nodded, putting his hand on his waist.“Is it a prank?” Kriss asked, turning to Zadicus.“Nope. It is what it is. This is the strongest rock, it shines golden when it finds its host willingly.” Zadicus shrugged, gesturing to them to turn and leave.“Host?” Persephon asked.“Yeah, you know, to connect it, embed it into the body to free the seal on the rock.” He shrugged nonchalantly.“What a waste.” Randall muttered, turning to lea
Earlier.Sir Zuka was giving Tristan a long scolding for using foul language unaware he uses it on a daily basis."Tristan, Your tongue is your beauty." Sir Zuka said, walking around the study room with his hand on his back as Tristan held a grimace on his face, sighing deeply."This appearance will falter but your words will remain forever. Human fades but words remain." His father said to which he mimicked him under his breath.His frown remained longer, rubbing his temples, tired with the constant reprimanding going on for hours but he couldn’t react to it anymore."I know, Father. I agree with you. Consider it a mistake." He nodded, twirling his pen around his fingers.Prideful of his mind, he knew which word to use when to turn things in his favor and he implied with the path his mind guides."Hmm. Good. You are a good boy. Always understands." Sir Zuka smiled, turning to him.He sat up straight when he turned, grinned beautifully at his father with a nod.“Because I know. So res
