2025-03-17 09:30:10The guests had already started to fill up the Great Hall.
Henry Beaufort stood tall beside Queen Elizabeth, his expression carefully composed as they exchanged formal pleasantries. It had been years since they last spoke, and though the tension was not visible to the guests around them, it lingered in the air between them like an unspoken truth.
Meanwhile, Daniel Beaufort, crown prince of Alynthia—surveyed the Great Hall, his sharp golden yellow eyes scanning the growing crowd. The diplomatic smile on his face never wavered, but beneath it, his mind was racing.
Where is Elena?
He had been watching carefully since his arrival, expecting to see his younger sister among the attendees, but she was nowhere in sight.
The Great Hall was already filling up. Nobles from all over Asterin and beyond had arrived, dressed in elegant mourning attire in honour of the ceremony. The soft glow of silver lanterns flickered overhead, casting an ethereal light on

On the other side Alisha walked back into the palace not stopping until she found an empty coriander. She stood there leaning against a wall and exhaled sharply, pressing a hand against her chest as if that would somehow calm the erratic beating of her heart.It had been years since she had last spoken to Daniel so closely, and yet… why did his presence still affect her this way?She closed her eyes, forcing herself to push aside the emotions that threatened to resurface. It was foolish. Whatever had once existed between them had been shattered long ago, buried beneath duty, loss, and the irreparable rift between their families.And yet, for a moment, when he had called her by her name instead of the formalities of their titles… it had felt like the past creeping back in, a whisper of something that no longer had a place in their present lives.No. She had far more pressing concerns now.Alisha straightened, pushing away from the wall

Elena walked down the corridor towards the Great Hall someone caught hold of her wrist and pulled her.Elena barely had time to react before she was pulled into a secluded corner, her back hitting the cool stone wall as a firm yet familiar grip held her wrist. She instinctively tensed, ready to fight back, but as she looked up, her sharp glare met a pair of piercing violet eyes."Liam," she exhaled, narrowing her eyes at him "What the hell are you doing?"Liam leaned in slightly, one arm resting lazily against the wall beside her "You told me last night that you wouldn’t be attending the ceremony," he mused, tilting his head "And yet, here you are all dolled-up and looking absolutely stunning, I might add."Elena scoffed, crossing her arms. "I changed my mind."Liam raised an eyebrow "Really? That’s all?"She sighed, rolling her eyes "Yes, really, contrary to what you may think, the world doesn’t revolve around you, Mr. Pri

Half an hour before…Tressa stood in a dark room speaking to Silva who had infiltrated into the palace with a hundred plus members of the Gantric Knights with the help of Tressa.“It’s been twelve hours since I poisoned them, it might start taking effect any moment now” Tressa said and then pointed at the stairs at the corner of the room as she continued “These stairs lead to secret passage that opens at the Great Hall.”She turned back to Silva “Be ready, as soon as you see people dropping, coffing up blood come in”“Got it” Silva said as he raised-up his thumb.“Okay then I will get going now will meet you upstairs” Tressa said as she turned to go back to the Great Hall.Silva watched as Tressa disappeared from his view, her footsteps barely making a sound against the stone flooring. A cold smirk appeared on his face as he made eye contact with his ma

Tressa turned towards the exit where the guests were heading to, as she lifted her hand, chanting a spell and then shot the light formed in her hand towards the exit door.As soon as the light hit the doors, they closed by themselves and a barrier appeared.Those people who could not stop on time hit the barrier head on and fell back due to the repulsive shock wave.“Who the hell is responsible for this?” Screamed the Seventh prince of Eldoria who had come here to represent his kingdom.“Step out you traitor” A noble lady from Dreadmoor joined in frustrated by all the chaos around as a black sword appeared in her hand.All the other nobles who were invited and was not poisoned joined them ready to kill who ever caused this, now not finding any other way. Tressa took a slow, deliberate step forward, the heels of her shoes clicking against the marble floor, the sound eerily calm amidst the rising panic. She tilte

The secret passage door burst open, and Silva strode in, followed by the remaining hundred plus members of Gantric Knights, their weapons gleaming under the dim chandelier light.Looking at this all the remaining nobles became alert as there hold on their weapons become tight, ready to fight.Silva smirked, his gaze sweeping over the poisoned nobles and terrified guests. “Seems like we arrived right on time,” he drawled.Tressa turned toward him, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes “You sure did, my head was starting to ake, listening to this old lady’s ratting.”Then she turned towards the guests who were ready to fight, “This what ever is happening here has nothing to do with you all. If you cooperate with us I will le you go back to your kingdoms peacefully.But if you dare to resist and want to play hero then all of you will be responsible for the death of those people on the ground coughing blood as I am the o

Meanwhile on the other side…The sound of heavy boots echoed through the grand hallways of the palace as the Gantric Knights moved in calculated formation. Clad in black cloaks with their weapons drawn, they systematically searched every room, their sharp eyes scanning for any sign of resistance.One knight pushed open a wooden door forcefully, revealing nothing but an empty guest chamber. He exchanged glances with another soldier before shaking his head “Nothing here.”Another group of knights stormed into a different room, only to find two trembling palace maids huddled in a corner. One of them let out a small gasp as a knight stepped toward them, his blade glinting under the dim torchlight.“You two,” he barked “Where is everyone?”The maids, their hands clutching their aprons shook their heads furiously “W…We don’t know! W…We were cleaning the lower halls when we saw you peopl

Before he could completely finish his sentence Elena spoke up “We know, what I want to know is how did you get here in this condition.”“Yes” Liam added.But before Theo could answer Alisha spoke up “Guys let’s get to safety first, we can have these discussions there…. Those people from Gantric Knights can come here at any moment.”“Gantric Knights?” Theo asked confused.“It’s a long story, let’s get out of here first” Alisha said as she signalled Liam to help Theodore up.Theodore nodded in understanding as Liam bent down, gripping Theodore’s arm firmly and pulling him up with ease. Theodore let out a grunt, his body still weak from the lingering effects of the poison, but he didn’t resist.“Let’s move,” Liam muttered, adjusting Theodore’s weight to support him better.They moved as swiftly as they could, keeping t

Elena narrowed her eyes “You’re not going alone.”“I’ll be fine.”“No, you won’t,” she snapped.“Lea, please try to understand—” Liam started, his voice firm but edged with frustration.Elena didn’t let him finish “If you’re so insistent, then I’m coming with you.Liam turned to her, his expression hardening “Elena, no… it’s not up for discussion. Taking Kira or Alisha with me was one thing but taking you… NO… I can’t put your life in any kind of risk, please understand.”She lifted her chin defiantly “If you don’t take me with you, I’ll wait until you leave and follow you anyway.”Liam let out an exasperated breath. “You wouldn’t—”Elena’s glare was unwavering. “Try me.”Liam clenched his jaw. He knew her too well, if he left her behind now, she would absolutely sneak out after him and then he’d have to worry about her safety on top of everything else.Muttering a curse under his breath, he made one last attempt

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
Return of the Dragon Queen Chapter 121
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
