Princess Hana blanked out for a moment not minding the blood that slipped out of her mouth. She can't believe it, Cindy... Her best friend just slapped her? She looked at her right in the eyes and saw her open her mouth.
“How dare you ignore me! A wolf less princess like you don't deserve respect!” Cindy shouted at her, anger was visible in her face. Since they were young, Cindy always look up to her, a princess with gorgeous appearance.
She didn’t just looked up to her. She was totally jealous, how can the moon goddess be so unfair? Why does all the good things given to the princess? But then, an opportunity came and princess Hana turned out to be wolf less. She felt elated, she could finally feel above her.
Cindy raised her hand again to slap princess Hana for the second time, but someone hold her hand. She angrily turn around to see who it was only to see her father.
“What do you think you are doing?!” Beta Jack asked in rage staring coldly at his daughter.
Cindy got petrified like a statue, she was scared as it was her first time seeing her dad acting like this to her.
Beta Jack saw her daughter not speaking and got furious. Just as he wanted to punish her, princess Hana who was watching from the side spoke.
“Beta Jack stop! She's still your daughter” She said before wiping the blood off her mouth.
Beta Jack halted, but still glared at his daughter with cold eyes. Then he looked at Princess Hana apologetically and said. “I'm sorry about what my daughter just did. She's ignorant and know nothing, please forgive her and forget about what happened today”
Beta Jack sincerely apologized. Princess Hana only shook her head and sighed, “It's fine. Please discipline her from now on”.
“I will.. I will..” Beta Jack nodded his head in understanding before bringing her daughter away. Martha and the others also left as they were put in an awkward position.
“Were the moon goddess forsaking me?” Princess Hana muttered to herself before leaving.
Walking her way home, she saw lots of people from children to adults. She watched them with total calmness but when everyone saw her, they started distancing themselves from her.
She found it weird but didn't think much deeper. Suddenly, she heard a crying voice of a child. It was coming from an alleyway where a tall tree could be seen, she hastily went there to see what's going on.
Arriving at the place, she saw a little girl crying and at the same time coughing while sitting on the ground.
“Are you hurt little one?” She gently asked with a serene smile on her face.
The little girl looked up. When she saw her beautiful face, she stopped crying. But then, as if she remembered something, her face started becoming sad and was about to cry again.
“Can you tell me why you're crying?” Princess Hana got curious why she was crying alone in this place.
The girl pointed her hand up to the tree. In there, a kite was stuck on the branch. Princess Hana finally got the gist of why the girl was crying, she smiled at her before comforting that she'll get the kite.
Joy beamed on the little girl's face as she started climbing the tree. She hold on branch after branch, braving the tall tree just to get the kite for the little girl. While she was climbing up, a man and a woman appeared from the distance where she walked from moments ago.
When they saw the little girl, the both of them release a deep sigh of relief before hurriedly running towards her. The little girl also saw them and started jumping in joy.
“Mama! Papa!” She exclaimed in great happiness.
“Oh you mischievous girl! You worried us too much” the woman loudly said before hugging the girl tightly.
“She's fine, don't worry” the man next to him said.
“Our daughter got lost and you still have the courage to say that? What if something bad happened to her? If you aren't careless and guarded her, she wouldn't have been lost! Look at her eyes they're wet! She must've been crying since earlier” the mother of the girl ranted in anger.
“Alright. Alright. It's my fault. I won't be careless again” the man replied while caressing the little girl's hair.
“We have to go now” the man added before holding the little girl's palm to leave.
“No.. no.. we can't just go yet. A beautiful sister is going to get my kite” the little girl said as she stubbornly stayed where she was standing.
“A beautiful sister?” the woman muttered knitting her brows before suspiciously looking at her husband next to her.
“Woah. Why are you looking at me like that?” the man asked frowning.
Crack!
A cracking sound was heard by the two as they both look up in the tree. In there, a girl could be seen holding a little branch of the tree, doing her best to take the kite off its branches.
“Hey little miss! The branch you're holding—” just before the man could finish his shout.
The Branch where Princess Hana's hand was holding got fractured. By the sudden release of force, she got herself unable to balance but still manage to grab the kite off from the branches.
But because her hand was holding it, she was unable to hold anything and started to fall. Her body hit several branches, she clearly felt the pain of contact that her eyes tear up a little.
The man below, which was the father of the young girl hurried over to catch her from her fall. Just when her body was about to hit the ground, the man was able to catch her.
Her body was full of bruised, blood even came out of the deep wound caused by the branches. Although she was in that state, she's still able to stay conscious and thanked the man.
She then walk staggeringly towards the young girl before offering her the kite that she protected using her body for it to not get damage. The little girl is happy that her kite was fine and went to receive it.
“Lily stop! Don't get near her!” Lily's mother shouted in alarm.
Prior that night at the Blackburn residence, a huge event was happening. A few hours after Griswold left, Princess Hana that was unconscious had finally woken up. Esmond and the others immediately visited her room in excitement.And before their eyes, Princess Hana’s beautiful and innocent face enraptured their hearts. Renfield was the most noticeable as his eyes had turned into hearts, staring at her with longing.The patriarch and elders also arrived a few minutes after them. All having serious expression but after seeing Princess Hana’s appearance, their eyes couldn’t hide their surprise.“Where is this place?” Princess Hana asked in wonder. Confused why she’s not in the forest anymore.“Hello, you’re in the Blackburn residence of Winterfrost city. We found you in the forest while unconscious so we brought you here.” Alwyn timidly responded.Princess Hana found him adorable and smiled. But noticing that there are many people that she’s not familiar with, she cautiously hide her emo
On the second floor of the Alchemist Association, there are not as many people as that of on the ground floor. Moreover, the people here were well known figures in Winterfrost City and some were powerful practitioners.It is also noticeable that the items on display here are of high quality than those below. The price of the products here are also absurdly expensive. Also, the cheapest product on display were sold for a hundred thousand gold coins.Their group of three did not stay on the second floor for long and immediately moved to the third floor. Unlike the other floors, this floor have no products on display nor many people walking around. Rather, the place was full of rooms.“Hello dear customers, are you here to hire an Alchemist to concoct a pill?” a charming young lady went to their group and asked.“I’m here to see the Branch Manager, please show the way.” Scr
“Stop this meaningless aggression or I’ll be forced to hurt you.” Jake warned, completely blocking Griswold’s attack with his sword.At the same time, he also released his Martial King aura, pressuring his opponent in great multitude. Even the crowd present at the scene could feel the immense pressure. Except for the young man with red eyes and his servant.“Humans really are interesting beings. To attain such skill level, his comprehension ability are truly astonishing. Maybe there are people out there who can contend with my father.”“That would be dangerous. Moreover, their population are abnormally high. If among them, there are three people that can contend with your father, then it would be a disaster.”The young man smiled then looked at his servant. “If you fight him, can you win?”His servant didn’t reply
“Lylia…” Griswold affectionately muttered while caressing his wife’s thin hands.His eyes were misty because of both happiness and grief. After so many years of sacrifices of looking after the mysterious Sun Triad Flower, they had finally found it. Moreover, they found it on the day where his wife’s life was in danger.He clenched his fist tight before standing up. “Wait for me, this time I’ll definitely help you recover.”However, there’s no response from his wife. He could only sigh helplessly before leaving the room.“My lord, the carriage you asked had already been prepared.” the butler that welcomed him a few hours ago reported.Before visiting his wife, he specifically looked for him to prepare a carriage. He plan to visit his old friend who’s helping him take care of his wife.
“I also got this awesome scar” Esmond said, showing off the claw mark left by the big wolf he fought earlier.Everyone looked at his chest with disbelief written in their faces. They couldn’t believe it. How could a wound turned into a scar in just a few hours? Unless one had superb regeneration ability.Iris walked next to him and stared intently at his scar. Afterwards, a smile formed on her face as she looked at his brother. It was a look of contempt and disgust.Renfield wanted to say something but his sister was one step ahead of him.“Wow! Such great scar. You truly are talented compared to my brother who only knows how to look good. He's clearly older than you yet you're better than him”His face turned red in embarrassment. The mockery of his sister was like a knife stabbing him in his chest. He wanted to retort back but there's nothing
“The two of you stay here. I'll follow uncle Griswold as he might need my help”“What are you talking about? You can't just leave us like that!” the girl who was silent moments ago blurted out.“Iris! Stop acting like a child. Esmond is in trouble and I have to go there”Iris looked at her brother hatefully. Its not that she didn't want her brother to help save Esmond, it's just that if he go, no one will be here to protect them if a monster showed up.“Go if you want to go! If the both of us are attacked by savage beast and die, I promise I'll haunt you forever!” Iris furiously said, thinking that her brother didn't care about her.“Fine!” the young boy replied in irritation. He really wished to go and follow his uncle and see him fight in action against that big beast. But because of his younger sister, his chance of seeing it becomes nothing.***Swizz~ swizz~Swizzling sound of the wind could be heard as Griswold ran at an unbelievable speed. He was too fast that it was as though t
