Moonlight's Deception The Air Prince (1)
The morning air at Eirinia Empire was bitingly cold. Standing atop the floating island, the castle had enough chills amidst the summer season. But no matter the atmosphere’s temperature, it wasn’t something the air-wielders couldn’t withstand. It was to be seen with the way its people go on with their daily activity.At the hillside, where there was a makeshift ring, a pair took turns landing a hit to one another’s body. The northern kingdom’s fourth prince, Prince Heath Alexander Castellan, was having his usual morning battle with his ward and future royal advisor, Maxwell Beaumont.Alexander wiped the sweat off his brow and positioned his legs in a defensive stance. “Again,” he ordered, setting his gaze on his opponent. The prince wasn’t particularly in a good mood. Maxwell had to drag him out to spar when he was supposed to be burrowing his nose among the bunch of books. As much as possible, he wanted to stay away from prying eyes.Maxwell rolled his shoulders and stretched his nec
Moonlight's Deception The Air Prince (2)
“Oh. Prince Alexander, what brings you”—he trailed off, glancing one by one at the portraits—“here?” He cocked one eyebrow and smirked.Knowing what was in his brother’s pea-sized brain, Alexander already anticipated what was about to come. Here came his favorite pastime.“Oh, my bad. Where are my manners? Hello, brother,” he spat as if calling him brother was poison in his tongue.Alexander never expected Thunder to act like an older brother anyway. Their ages were never that far apart, for he was only a year older.“Thunder,” he said, acknowledging his brother’ presence. But his name rolled off his tongue unpleasantly, voice laced with a mocking tone.Thunder’s jaw ticked, and Alex had to fight back the urge to smirk in victory at him.“What?” Thunder huffed. “Is father out to give you another dangerous mission? Maybe father is that desperate to get rid of you. Unfortunately for him, you always come back in one piece.” He clicked his tongue in scornful regret.Thunder still never fai
Moonlight's Deception Escape Attempt (1)
Clara’s head was an aching mess. The last thing she remembered was being knocked out by an excruciating pain her body couldn’t tolerate and the panic-filled eyes of Alistair as he ran to her.Peeling her eyes open, she woke up in the most lavish and beautifully decorated bedroom she’d ever seen, momentarily confused by all the dainty, pretty things.“Where am I?” she whispered, then coughed. And the sound of her voice made her heart stop its beat.Her voice didn’t sound like her. It used to be like melting honey; however, the voice she just heard from her throat was heavy and a little sharp.She roamed her eyes at the strange setting before her, hitting every color of the pink spectrum. The rosy accent walls were punched with gold leaf patterns. A strong scent of wild rose in the air was too much for her liking, a stark contrast of her favorite vanilla fragrance.Clara propped her elbows with a low grunt, hoisting her body up in a sitting position. She tried to will her body to adjust
Moonlight's Deception Escape Attempt (2)
Clara gained consciousness and the events that occurred came blasting like a hurtling rock. She opened her eyes wide.“What is going on?” she yelled in panic, cupping her throat with both hands.The last thing she remembered was lying cold on the floor. How did she end up on the bed?Someone knocked on the door, pulling Clara out of her rambling thoughts. It opened to reveal an older woman who looked to be in her forties.“Good morning, princess. Would you like to have breakfast in bed?” The woman was wearing a black maid’s uniform. Clara only gaped at her, for she didn’t know what to do or say. She was being offered breakfast, but the answer was kept at the back of her throat. Indeed, she was feeling hungry.“Princess, are you alright? Shall I call the Healer for you? The king and queen are in the courtroom, but they will be here at any moment.”Clara didn’t grant her a response. In a flash of seconds, she brushed past her and ran outside, away from that room. She could hear the maid’

Silence tailored her thoughts with silken threads. It used to be comforting and warm. But now, silence didn’t help with the whirlwind of thoughts bombarding her mind. It was like a spark that triggered the fire in Clara’s head, and the failed escape attempt had thrown her into a pitfall.Clara examined her hands as if staring at them could bring back her powers. Without it, there was no space in her heart with nothing but helplessness.After Prince Alexander and Maxwell had brought her back inside the room, more guards were stationed just outside the door. And Clara knew she couldn’t pull off what she did earlier again. It was one lucky chance, yet she blew it off.Any moment from now, the parents of the girl whose body she occupied would barge through the door. And they wouldn’t know that a different girl was living in Ariah.There was just one big question that Clara had been dying to know the answer to: How did she end up in another’s body?‘Think, Clara,’ she told herself. ‘What is

“You! You cannot die. I—” She paused while he only raised his brow. “You said you’ll take me to the city!”His features brightened like the early morning sun. “Well, that’s easy. I thought I would need to resort to kidnapping for you to go with me. Then, shall we, Princess Ariah?” He held out his hand, but before Clara could take it, there was something like a fire burning in her stomach. She did not have the chance to react because it disappeared just as quickly as it appeared.“Tell me your name first. And how are you related to the royal family of this kingdom?” Clara said.“We’re acting like this is the first time we meet, aren’t we? Well, then”— he sighed in exasperation—“The name’s Jayden Lavelle, Your Highness. And I’m an advisor to King Winston Leighton. Will you allow this man to escort you to the city?”‘A royal advisor? He looks too young to be one,’ she thought. But for once, she allowed herself to trust this man who introduced himself as someone close to Ariah’s father.“T

“Rovenshire. Arcelia City’s central town,” Jayden sang in his loud voice, garnering attention from passersby. “It’s been a long while since I last stepped foot here.” Wearing black robes to conceal their identity, Clara and Jayden emerged in a bustling street that thrived under the shadow of the floating rock island of Zephyrus’ castle.It looked like the entire world had come to gather. People bustled left and right, hopping from shop to shop. Carts of scrumptious foods lined the sidewalks. The air was filled with such a mixture of smells all jumbled up, making it hard to identify one from the other. Performance artists sat at random corners doing a strange number of tricks. One man created random shapes of small animals out of air as children chased them relentlessly. Another woman had several instruments floating around her, all playing at the same time until someone told her off for making unnecessary noises.Clara was about to cross the cobblestone street when Jayden pulled her b

They picked a seat near the end of the middle row as Clara popped rainbow popcorns inside her mouth, savoring the gooey caramel.An ear-splitting electric noise echoed from the stage, silencing the crowd. “Please remain seated. Blaire Academy’s tenth tour show is about to start in a few minutes.”The lights went out for a moment and came back again. Smoke crept from the stage and crawled its way to the audience’s feet. A figure rose above the stage being lifted by the air around him. His arms stretched wide in a theatrical pose, showing off his dazzling teeth which glinted against the light. His coat and suit also sparkled like it was made of diamonds.Jayden leaned back on his seat and shook his head. “Drama queen,” he said under his breath, popping a handful of rainbow popcorn into his mouth.“Welcome, everyone, to Blaire Academy’s tenth tour performance.” Lights focused on him. His brown shoulder-length hair shone in the light and an exulting expression was pasted on his face. He re
