Liam met his gaze, unflinching “Try me.”

For a moment, the air between them was thick with tension, two forces at a standstill but before Daniel could act, Liam took a step back and said, “You want to play smart? Fine. Then do your part and trust me to do mine.”

Without waiting for another word, Liam turned and strode off, his movements quick and determined.

Theo cursed under his breath “Damn it, he’s actually going.”

Daniel exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair “I see why Elle likes him now, both are equally stubborn, really a match made in heaven” he muttered to himself as turned to the others and said “Let him go, we have work to do.”

Kira glanced at him “You sure about that?”

“No,” Daniel muttered, his jaw tight “But we don’t have time to fight among ourselves.”

Theo sighed, shaking his head. “Let’s ju

    Alisha held onto Elena, gripping her tightly as she whispered, “Hang in there.” Elena’s breaths were shallow, her face pale, but her fingers curled weakly around Alisha’s sleeve in reassurance.Tressa let out a low chuckle as she wiped a bit of blood from the corner of her mouth “You know, Liam, it’s amusing,” she mused, tilting her head “I thought you would be smarter than the rest but no… you turned out just as blind, just as foolish.”Liam’s fists clenched “Shut up” His voice was calm, but the venom beneath it was unmistakable.Tressa smirked, stepping closer, completely ignoring the blood staining his side “Oh? Does the truth hurt?” She sneered “Now get your pathetic self together as there is more to come.”Saying hat she turned to Silva “Bring them here” she said to which Silva nodded and turned to his men “You heard her…&rd

    Tressa’s smirk widened as she snapped her fingers “Let’s show a sample of how the option to looks to my mother here” and as these words were out her mouth one of the knights immediately seized Nathaniel’s wrist and forced his palm against the crystal and activated it.A piercing scream shattered the air as Nathaniel’s body arched as dark energy coursed through him, the crystal pulsing as it greedily drained his power. The veins in his hand darkened, spreading up his arm like creeping vines, his lips parted in agony.Elizabeth’s eyes widened in horror as she instantly turned to Tressa and pleaded her “Stop it! Please…Stop…”Liam moved too, but Silva shifted, pressing his blade against Liam’s already wounded side, halting him in his tracks “I wouldn’t,” Silva murmured as he pointed in Elena and Alisha’s direction where his other knights pointed their blades at them.

    Tressa just stared at her served arm for a second trying to process what was going on and then she let out a heart shattering scream.Everyone in the main hall went silent trying to process what just happened.As Tressa was handing the dagger to Elizabeth with a victory smile on her face, a sword that was hanging on the wall like a decoration flew out of nowhere serving Tressa’s hand at the elbow at lightning speed.Silva ran over to Tressa who was crying in pain and shouted looking around “Who is responsible for this… step out now…”The atmosphere was frozen thick with horror and confusion as Silva stood there protectively, his sword drawn, eyes scanning the hall like a wild animal, furious and frantic."Show yourself!" he barked again, his voice a whipcrack through the silence.His knights tightened their grips on their weapons, instantly forming a defensive circle around Tressa and Silva.“What

    Back at the main hall…The dust settled, revealing the aftermath of the explosion of raw energy from Elena. The once grand hall was barely recognizable—cracks ran along the stone walls, debris littered the ground.Elena was floating mid-air, her ocean blue eyes had now transformed into luminous gold, burning with a power that was both breathtaking and terrifying. There were streaks of gold colour on her brown hair.Silence stretched across the room, thick and suffocating.Tressa was on one knee still clutching her served hand, breathing heavily, her hair dishevelled, eyes wide with shock. Even Silva had been forced to take several steps back, his composure completely shattered.The Gantric Knights were also scattered, some unconscious, others groaning as they tried to regain their bearings.Alisha, struggling to push herself up from where she had fallen, stared at Elena with sheer horror "No… you actually—" she chok

    Slowly, Elizabeth pushed herself away from the pillar and dragged her weak body toward the centre of the ruined hall. Every step seemed to echo through the suffocating silence as memories flashed in front of her eyes — of a younger Tressa, innocent and hurting after seeing her own father killing her mother who was trying to protect Elizabeth... of Elizabeth stepping in to protect her, teach her, love her like her own blood — only to have that trust shattered.When she finally stopped in front of Tressa, she looked down at Tressa, broken, pitiful and for a long moment Elizabeth said nothing.Finally, Elizabeth spoke, her voice hoarse but steady, "You could have been so much more," she said, her words cutting deeper than any blade "You were loved, you were trusted and you threw it all away for greed... for power..."Her fists clenched at her sides."I don’t pity you, Tressa," Elizabeth continued, her voice gaining strength. "I don’t

    Daniel rushed forward, catching his sister before she could hit the ground “Elle—! Hey, stay with me!” he shouted, his voice cracking.Looking at the how careful and worried Daniel was, holding Elena in his arms an bad feeling started settling in Liam’s heart but the worry for Elena’s wellbeing and fear of loosing her took over all of those negative thoughts as he rushed to Elena’s side.Henery and the others also reached the Main Hall with the others, as soon as he saw his daughter lying weakly in his son’s arms Henery rushed to where his daughter was and knelt next to her not knowing what to do “Elle… my dear look here… father is here, you will be fine.”These words spoken by Henery shocked everyone around who did not know about Elena’s true identity.“Elle, look at me,” Daniel said, gently tapping her cheek as he cradled her trembling body.Elena’s lashes

    As the group left for the portal room Liam just stood there silently watching their backs as his hands trembled at his sides.He had wanted to go. His entire being screamed at him to be by Elena’s side.But seeing his frail mother, clinging onto his father for support, reminded him cruelly of the responsibilities he couldn’t turn away from.They had been through so much and he was not by there side then and now being by there side and giving them the emotional support they need is all he can do.Gritting his teeth, Liam turned around and walked towards his parents, when he reached them his father George frowned as he asked confusedly “What are you doing here?”"I am where I am supposed to be Father," Liam said quietly, forcing calm into his voice though his heart felt like it was bleeding "How can I leave you guys and go when mother is in this condition? When you two have been through so much and I could not do anything. I'l

    As Elizabeth and Liam passed through the portal the world twisted and buckled around them. A rush of cold air slammed into them and for a heartbeat, it felt like they were being pulled apart, there soul stretching thin, but then, just as suddenly, solid ground met their feet again.As they looked around there was no sign of anyone else who had come before them, only a maid was standing there to the side respectfully.The maid stepped forward and gave a respectful bow “Greetings to the queen, the other have left for the medical room with Master Kai Von, please follow me I will guide you to them.”Elizabeth nodded curtly and said “Lead the way,” her voice brisk, but not unkind.The maid bowed again and swiftly turned on her heel, moving through the long, polished stone corridor that stretched out before them. The place was massive, the ceilings high and domed, intricate carvings and glowing glyphs running along the walls. It was clea

    While all of this was happening inside no one noticed Liam, who just stood frozen at the door. His hand still resting on the frame where he had instinctively reached out—but never knocked. His eyes were wide, his breath shallow as he took in the gravity of what he had just heard.“Closed-door cultivation… dangerous… months, years…”The words echoed relentlessly in his mind, each one hitting him like a hammer.Liam just let out a frustrated sigh and then just turned back and went away from there wanting some time for himself.….After speaking for some more time Master Kai Von left with Kevin following behind him.As for Henery and Elizabeth, they stayed with Elena for some more time talking anything and everything. Once done with lunch they also left Elena’s room, leaving her to rest.Once they left the smile on Elena’s face disappeared as she just lay there on her bed, staring

    Elena nodded in understanding as she said “I understand.”Just as the words left her lips, another knock echoed softly on the door, followed by Kevin’s voice once more “Master… Mr. Henry and Mrs. Elizabeth are asking if they can come in now.”Master Kai glanced at Elena, his eyes silently asking if she was ready. She took a steadying breath and nodded.“Let them in,” Master Kai called back as he brought down the invisible barrier.The door creaked open, and Henry and Elizabeth rushed in almost at once. Relief flooded their faces as they saw Elena awake and sitting up, her complexion pale but her eyes clear and focused.“Elena!” Elizabeth cried, hurrying to her side and cupping Elena’s face in her trembling hands “Oh, thank the heavens, you’re awake. We’ve been so worried.”Henry also moved to the other side of Elena’s bed and sat down cupping her

    Elena just sat there in a daze after Master Kai completed reciting the story as she processed the information inside her head. Master Kai also sat there dazing of thinking over the old memories.Knock, knock…The soft knocks on Elena’s room door brought them back to reality. As both of them turned towards the door they say Kevin peeking his head in through the slightly open door.“Master, Mr. Henery and Mrs. Elizabeth are waiting outside” Kevin spoke softly.“Just give us a minute” Master Kai replied with an expressionless face, to which Kevin just nodded in understanding and closed the door.Master Kai turned back to Elena as he opened his space ring and took out a jade slip. He handed it to Elena as he said “This was given to me by queen Zenobia before her death, she told me she would be reborn to complete the task that she had left to un complete and I should give this to her when she started rememberin

    Her grief had transformed her. Hardened her. She had become relentless—a queen cloaked in vengeance. She tore through every clue, followed every trail, spilled blood with her own hands if it meant getting closer to the truth. Her enemies began to whisper of her not as a ruler, but as a storm.Yet after all the years of searching, she found nothing. The truth eluded her. Because the one she was looking for… had always been by her side.It was Ernest.The boy who had once followed her through gardens. The man who had stood at her side through war and loss. The friend who offered her support while hiding the truth.He had colluded with the dark forced, completely deviating from the path of spiritual power. He had mastered the dark power to the extent that he had now become their lord ruling over them.Earnest had watched Zenobia weep and rage and kill for answers he already held. He had whispered counsel while burying the past beneath car

    The Queen Zenobia was still a princess when she got engaged to the Crown Prince of Alynthia, Richard Beaufort, but Ernest did not like it.He and the Queen were childhood friends, if I have to be truthful he had no other friends other than her.They grew up side by side in the quiet gardens and sunlit corridors of the palace, sharing secrets and laughter beneath the shade of old olive trees. Ernest, the son of the royal falconer, had always trailed behind her like a loyal shadow. He was kind, clever in his own rough-edged way, and he adored her—utterly and silently. But his place was always at her side, never in her world.Zenobia, on the other hand, had never seen him as anything more than her closest companion. Her confidant. Her safe place in a world that often felt too heavy for someone so young. She cared for him, deeply. But not in the way he hoped and she never pretended otherwise.When she met Richard Beaufort, everything changed.She

    Not having the heart to scold Elena Master Kai Von turned to Liam as he breathed him “You brat why did you not inform me as soon as my dear disciple woke up?” Liam blinked, caught off guard by the sudden shift in attention “She just woke up,” he defended, raising his hands slightly “I was going to tell you, but then… well, we were talking and—”“Talking?” Master Kai’s voice lifted incredulously as he stood and turned to fully face him, his eyes narrowing with something between suspicion and fatherly protectiveness “Talking about what, exactly?”Liam opened his mouth, then closed it, cheeks flushing a bit “Just… some important things.”Kai narrowed his eyes further, clearly not buying it “Did not you tell you had dossed of, that’s why it got so late for you to open the door just now?”Liam blinked wide eyed, caught up in his own lies not know

    Her eyes shimmered as she looked up at him, one hand slowly lifting to rest over the one still cradling her cheek “You’re not angry?” she asked, her voice a fragile whisper.Liam shook his head slowly “No,” he said simply, his gaze steady “I was scared. Worried. But not angry” He hesitated, then added, “I don’t need to know everything right away, Elena. I just need to know you. And I do.”His words struck something deep inside her, a place that had always braced for rejection, for suspicion, for betrayal—never for acceptance. Never for this.Elena closed her eyes for a moment, breathing him in—the steadiness of him, the strength he gave her without asking anything in return. When she opened them again, her voice was steadier “I don’t deserve this,” she said quietly.Liam frowned, not harshly, but like he hated hearing her say it “Don’t do that,” he

    Elena breathed, each shaky inhale slowly growing steadier as Liam held her. His hand moved gently up and down her back, slow and grounding, letting her feel the rhythm of life—the simple, steady beat of being here, being safe.When the worst of the tremors passed, Liam shifted slightly, glancing down at her “You should rest a little more," he said softly, brushing a few strands of hair from her damp forehead "I’ll call Master Kai Von, just to make sure you’re okay as you have been unconscious for three days now."But the moment he started to move, Elena's arms tightened around him in a panic, her fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt like a lifeline “No,” she whispered sharply, her voice trembling but sure “Don’t go. Please... stay.”Liam froze, feeling the raw desperation in her voice, in the way she clung to him like he was the only solid thing left in a crumbling world. His heart twisted painfully at the thought of leaving her, even for a second.He let out a quiet, resigned

    "Over my dead body," Richard snarled.Ernest’s smile widened cruelly "That my plan exactly."At Ernest’s signal, the cloaked men surged forward like a black tide.Richard rose, one arm still around Zenobia, and drew his sword in one swift motion, the steel catching the faint light of the enchanted forest.They clashed with a deafening ring of steel.Richard fought like a man possessed, fuelled by love and rage, his blade a silver blur. He felled two of the men quickly, moving with deadly grace—but there were too many, and he was alone.A sword slashed across his side—he staggered but didn’t fall.Another cut along his arm—his grip tightened stubbornly around his sword. Blood darkened his tunic, dripping into the moss, but Richard fought on, each movement slower, heavier.He could feel his strength leaving him. Zenobia was still unconscious on the grass behind him, unaware of the battle raging
