Old master Slegh was furious when he saw his useless men who came back injured without achieving their goal. It would be a lie to say he that was not scared by the knowledge that Dame Killion’s men were escorting them. He summoned his sons.

“Look at this bunch of useless scum you have nurtured.” He didn’t forget to throw a tantrum at them when they arrived.

No one of them responded. They stood with their heads lowered.

“Did you hear?” Old master narrowed his eyes “Dame Killion’s men were esco

  • Second chance at happiness    The price… she was willing to pay it.

    Outside the room, Zelda felt her chest tighten. She knew the process had begun.Cornelius and Baldwin paced through the hall like headless chooks, forgetting their station and years of upbringing.Linus and Judith leaned against the wall, faces pale and lips trembling. Edgar and Maryanne stood beside them in silent support. Inwardly, they too begged the heavens for mercy.The Zumerong cousins stood shoulder to shoulder like true blood brothers, their eyes fixed on the closed door. Only Humphrey joined Cornelius in pacing, the endless wait clearly wearing on him.Suddenly, Zelda staggered.Blood spilled from her lips the instant the frozen glass inside the room melted completely.Esmeralda rushed to her side. “Mistress…”Jerome was already there, steadying her before she could fall.The others turned toward her at once, worry etched across every face.“I am fine,” Zelda said weakly, lifting a hand.She knew the cost.Of all elements to bend, time was the most unforgiving, the one that

  • Second chance at happiness   To remain standing....

    Eldora circled the two boxes quietly, observing the figures within. They looked as though they were merely asleep, not people frozen in time.She paused, first before Alex, her hand rested against the frozen glass for a brief moment before slowly passing through the surface without leaving behind even the faintest crack. She quietly checked his vitals before withdrawing.She repeated the process with Katherine.Jack and Mira stood motionless, scarcely daring to breathe for fear of disturbing her concentration.She stepped back and waved her hand.The basin that had previously rested in the corner now sat perfectly between the two boxes.She turned to Mira, “you need to fill this with the water from the hot spring.”Mira nodded and was about to enter space when Jack hugged and kissed her, “Let me help.”Mira smiled and nodded.Jack filled the buckets and handed them to Mira, while she poured them into the basin, standing in space. Once the basin was filled to the brim, just as they were

  • Second chance at happiness   Wait till I get my hands on those bastards.

    “What’s in that?” Martin, who had been silent all this while, ran over to the cart behind the carriage the moment he saw Jack, like a monkey suddenly jolted awake, the moment he saw Jack.Anne-marie was no different, clinging to Mira who herself was clinging to Ursula; the two siblings looked like they had found new life.“That’s a basin for father and mother’s treatment.” Jack answered seriously.“Wow… then you really got the healer to come?” Martin’s excitement knew no bounds. “Uncle and aunt can be saved… thank the heavens.”“Where should I take this?”“When is the healer coming?” Jerome stepped forward.“Venerable one…” Mira called out. This was the norm in the land for esteemed healers, and they had agreed to this address earlier.The footman ran over, signalled by Harrison but even before he could get close to the carriage, Eldora lifted the curtain by herself and stepped out.The moment her feet touched the ground, the world seemed to exhale.The wind died.Trees that had been s

  • Second chance at happiness   Wouldn’t you two skin me alive otherwise?

    Southamberston barely had time to catch its breath.Visitors arrived one after another, leaving Harrison and the others scarcely a moment to rest.Bari swept in as though the wind itself carried him, arriving before the excitement of Credi’s arrival had even faded.“You’re back.” Matthew chuckled as he greeted him. Harry stepped forward as well, welcoming him warmly.“How could I dare not come when your precious daughter made a request?” Bari laughed. “Wouldn’t you two skin me alive otherwise?”“That girl…” Matthew shook his head helplessly. “What did she ask you for?”Bari glanced around cautiously before leaning closer to the two men.“Silver Siphon,” he whispered.Silence fell instantly.“Did you get it?”“Not as many as your little girl asked for…” Bari’s face fell. “I barely managed to get hold of one.”“That is one more than any of us could manage.” Harry shrugged with a helpless expression.“How many did that girl ask you for?” Matthew knitted his brows.“As many as I could gath

  • Second chance at happiness   You know my father?

    The old man’s expression didn’t change… but the air between them did. He studied Jack for a long moment, his intent unreadable.“Then…” he murmured, voice low, “you’ve just taken something the Lion once bled for… bled to keep from his own soil.”Jack’s expression tightened, for the briefest fraction of a second. But the old man’s sharp eyes caught it.“You know my father?”“How could I not?” The old man’s gaze turned distant, a trace of melancholy surfacing as he muttered, more to himself than to them, “One does not walk this world and fail to feel the sun.”Then his eyes sharpened again, settling on the young couple.“Tell me… do you understand what you carry away?”A pause settled between them.“It is no trivial thing… to be set aside when it no longer pleases its keeper.”Mira stepped forward slightly. “We don’t… but we’re retrieving it for someone who does.”“I hope so…” The old man waved a hand, as if dismissing them.A faint exhale. “This is all I can do, old friend.I ha

  • Second chance at happiness   How dare you draw a sword at my husband?

    “You… you are the Lion of Zumerong?” He shook his head, disbelief clouding his eyes. “No … you can’t be… not so young…”“Huh?” Mira took a step back, confusion flashing across her face, but she didn’t move from where she stood, still shielding Jack.Jack’s lips curved faintly.Neither of them answered.The man moved.There was no warning… no shift in breath, no tightening of muscle. One moment he stood still, the next a blade slid free from his staff and cut through the air----and stopped.A sharp metallic crack rang out.Jack stood where he had always been.His blade had already intercepted the strike.The tip of the sword hovered inches from Mira----but it would go no further.Jack’s gaze lifted slowly.The warmth from before was gone.“You are not worthy of that face…” the man hissed, his weapon shifting between staff and blade moving as one as he struck again.“Who are you?”Jack didn’t answer.Steel met steel.Once. Twice.On the third exchange------ the staff twisted out of th

  • Second chance at happiness   Did my half-brother forget what he just heard?

    “Still not stepping down?” Jerome hooked his eyebrows, disdain clearly written all over his face.Hadrian could only step down, his fist clenched as he swallowed the humiliation silently.Jerome looked at the two groups and walked towards the red side and stood next to Baldwin.“Worthington do you k

  • Second chance at happiness   My people are not playthings to quell anyone’s curiosity or amusement for their solitude.

    “How about we get everyone to cast their vote first?” Alaistair asked once again, after waiting for a few minutes in vain and not getting a response from both father and son.“Somerstone lost their chance to vote a long time ago.” Cornelius’s voice wasn’t loud, but it had a deterrent force that made

  • Second chance at happiness   Whether you like it or not, I don’t think you have a choice.

    Back at the throne room, the small interlude due to the disturbance caused by a stray pigeon entering had just subsided and everyone diverted their attention back to the envoys.“Stay alert.” Baldwin warned Jack and Thomas in a low voice while the princess’s protector’s voice boomed through the hall

  • Second chance at happiness   Will today be the day we write history for all the wrong reasons?

    As the rays of sun, brightened the land, the tents before the gate had disappeared and, in its place, stood the forces of Zumerong, tall and proud without a hint of fear of the impending loom of death and defeat before them, awaiting the arrival of their commander and his orders, which was heaven’s
