Return of the Dragon Queen   Do you want to be my temporary boyfriend? (1)
"I heard about a locksmith who specializes in opening any lock, no matter how old or complex," Sharen explained. "He moves around frequently, but I received word this morning that he's here in the market. We're here to find him." "Do you know what he looks like?" Alex inquired. "No," Sharen admitted. "But he has a distinctive snake tattoo that runs from his neck to eyebrows, and he's over six feet tall. We'll have to keep an eye out for someone who fits that description." Alex nodded, silently acknowledging the task ahead, and together they resumed their search through the bustling dark alleyways where illegal goods were sold. The next day morning… Knock Knock… Lea had just woken up when she heard someone at the door. Rubbing her eyes and stifling a yawn, she shuffled over to open the door, still groggy from sleep. To her surprise, there stood Liam, dressed in his workout clothes, his silky black hair neatly combed back. In contrast, she looked like a mess, her cheeks turning p

"Do you want to be my temporary boyfriend?" Her words left Liam in a state of shock and confusion, unsure of how to respond. Seeing his reaction, Lea sighed and explained, "I don't know if I love you or not, Liam, but I can say for sure that I like you. However, it's also true that neither of us can get into a serious relationship right now for our own reasons. So, why not be with each other while I'm still here at the palace?" She paused, searching his eyes for understanding. "I feel that the memories we can create in these few days might be enough for us to move on without any regrets. So, what do you say?" Liam stared at her, his mind racing. "Do you really think that this is going to work Lea? It just feels like giving false hope to oneself" Lea laughed self mockingly "Yes, it is kind of giving false hope but do you have any other way out of this mess we have put our selfs in?" Liam just shook his head in defeat. Lea got up, sat next to Liam, and placed her hand on his cl

"Aaaa..." The young man groaned in pain as the man in the black cloak applied the medicine. "It's almost over, young master. Just hang in there." The young man ground his teeth in frustration and spoke with anger. "That bit*h… this is all because of her… I lost my dear father and the organization my ancestors had built with their blood and sweat". "Calm down, Silva," an old man, sitting tiredly in a corner of the cave, spoke up. "How can I calm down, master? It's all because of that slut that we're hiding in this shitty cave like mice. What did that bitch tell us when she contacted us? We just had to kidnap a human girl, and she would take care of the rest. Where was she when our organization was slaughtered by the people from Phantom?" The old man got up from his place, came over, and sat next to Silva, who was being treated. He placed a hand on Silva's shoulder. "You are right to be angry, but this is not the time to lose control over yourself. Now, with your father and bro

Liam and Lea roamed around the palace for more than an hour before arriving near the training room. "God, I am really tired and hungry after roaming around for so long. I need food," Lea said dramatically. Liam couldn't hold back his laughter. Lea pouted in response, prompting Liam to shake his head lightly. "This is the last place left in the west wing. Let's have a quick look, then we'll have breakfast and head to the east wing. What do you say?" "Okay," Lea agreed happily and followed Liam into the training room. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the sounds of metal clashing, rocks breaking, and more. The training room was a special space within the palace, its walls inscribed with spells and arrays designed to contain even the fiercest of battles without affecting the rest of the palace. The room itself was a vast open space with a stage at the center. One side was designated for rest and for spectators during matches. Surrounding the stage were six pillars, eac

Looking at this interaction the anger that had slightly subsided in Tressa's heart rose to another level as she greeted her teeth and was about to speak something when Lea looked at her in the eye. That stare made her feel a sense of crisis for a second as she thought to herself "What the hell, why did I just feel scared of her?" At this moment Lea spoke calmly, "You don't have to worry about me Tressa, I can take care of myself" Shaking her head lightly Tressa replied "How can I not worry Lea? You are in our palace and if something happens to you my mother will be the one who will be implicated by that. For example just now when you were walking toward Ria a sword was almost about to cut your hand if not for Liam who blocked it. How will you save yourself when you don't know any fighting or self-defense skills, Lea?". "Who told you that I don't know fighting?" "Stop joking Lea… You might know a few tricks that might work on humans but now I am speaking about Super-humans with

After a few seconds of a tense staring competition, Kira stomped her foot and snapped, "Fine... Let's see how long you can keep up that arrogance out there." Tressa chimed in, "Okay, then let's not waste any more time. We'll see how good you are at this art." Lea nodded and headed towards the stage, ready to start the match. However, as they reached the stage, Alisha called out to them, "Wait a second." Alisha walked to the right side of the stage, where a door was located. She placed her hand on a scanner for identification. The door opened, and she disappeared inside, returning five minutes later. Confused, Lea asked, "What happened, Alisha?" Alisha shook her head. "Nothing," she said, then turned to Tressa. "As you've agreed not to use your power during the fight, let's just bind it until the match is over." Alisha lifted her hand, revealing a black bangle with golden ancient letters carved into it. Tressa's eyes widened in shock when she saw the bangle. Alisha smiled sarcast

Alina looked back. "I don't know… come on, let's ask someone."They reached the corridor and stopped a dragon warrior who was heading to the west wing. "Where is everyone going in such a hurry?""Little princess, you don't know?" Alina furrowed her eyebrows.Seeing this, the dragon warrior cleared his throat and explained, "Princess Tressa and that human girl are having a sword fight in the training room. We're all going to watch as we've never seen a human fight before, and we're curious about their skills."Once the dragon warrior shared this information, Alina let him go and turned to Sapphire. "This evil sister of mine is surely doing this to bully sister Lea. Please help her, sister Sapphire.""How can I help with this?" Sapphire asked, puzzled."You can… If I speak up, they'll silence me because I'm still young. But you know Master Kai Von, my evil sister has to listen to you." Looking at Sapphire still standing silently Alina added."You don't understand, sister Sapphire. That

Everyone was stunned. Tressa, one of the kingdom's best in sword fighting, had delivered a powerful strike, yet Lea had blocked it as if it were nothing."Come on, sister Lea, you can do it!" Alina's cheer broke the silence.The crowd's eyes lit up with excitement. "This match is going to be interesting," they thought. "This human is not so bad…"Alisha smiled at Tressa's state and cheered with Alina, "Come on, Lea, you can do it!" The rest of the group joined in, while Kira and a few other lackeys stood there with dark expressions.Furious, Tressa stood up and dashed toward Lea again. Her attacks grew stronger, but Lea blocked each one with ease. This continued for the next twenty minutes—Tressa attacking and Lea defending.By the end, Tressa's body was covered in cuts and bruises, while Lea stood unscathed."Dude this girl is a monster… how can she overpower a dragon warrior so easily, did she go through such rigorous training to attain this level of perfection?" David said to Tim,

Return of the Dragon Queen   Chapter 125
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
Return of the Dragon Queen   Chapter 123
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
Return of the Dragon Queen   Chapter 122
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
Return of the Dragon Queen   Chapter 120
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
Return of the Dragon Queen   Chapter 119
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
Return of the Dragon Queen   Chapter 118
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
Return of the Dragon Queen   Chapter 117
"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
