Mira ducked into the space once she was on her own. She sat by the stream, staring at the fish swimming happily in the water.“How can I resolve this without bringing trouble upon myself?” she mulled softly. “Am I being greedy, wanting to hold on to my happiness?”“Greedy… yes.”Mira jumped in fright at the aged—yet soft, almost soothing—voice. This was her space. How could anyone get in here? She nearly fell into the stream, but a firm arm caught her in time.“Clumsy too…”Mira raised her head, part fear, part curiosity, as a low chuckle reached her ears.“Eldora…?” she asked cautiously, her eyes widening in wonder.“Child, how much longer are you going to stay in my arms?” The amused smile never left Eldora’s face.“You… you have a body… You’re not an apparition anymore?”“Yes… thanks to you.”“Me?” Mira pointed at herself, tilting her head. Her eyes slowly filled with understanding as she recalled Eldora’s words from their first encounter.“Is it because you’ve rested enough?” Mira
“Are you okay?” Orseus asked softly, leaning closer to Leonie once they had boarded the carriage.Leonie nodded hesitantly, she lowered her head as she whispered, “I am not sure…. I don’t even know what to think anymore. Until now, my world had only my two uncles. Then two days ago, they told me I have a brother, and that we were going to meet him. Now suddenly…. I have everyone. A father, a mother, a brother… an uncle….”She faltered, her voice trembling. “And the uncles I thought were my relatives… aren’t???”“In any other family, what you said would be the truth.” Orseus began confidently. Then he scratched the back of his head, his voice turning sheepish. “But your family is weird… to put it mildly.”Leonie raised her head to stare blankly at Orseus.“Your father has always treated his elite soldiers as his kin. So, you are not wrong, they are still your uncles. Not any less than your distant relatives, perhaps even closer than them.” He paused, his brows knitting together. “At le
“Are you talking about the healer you got the medicine from last time?” Matthew asked almost at the same time as Harry. The memory of the miracle potion that had healed both his son-in-law and his sworn brother resurfaced as they were talking.“If I cannot find a solution, no other healer will be able to…” Zelda shook her head, disappointment flickering across her face as she began to understand the source of Mira’s confidence.She knew Mira didn’t mean to undermine her skills; they were simply not familiar with her abilities. Although disappointed, she wasn’t offended. It wasn’t arrogance, but reality; at present, there was no one who could rival her mastery of alchemy and magic.“Master, I think it is worth exploring.”Esmeralda, who had been quiet until now, stepped forward as soon as she realized who Mira was referring to. She moved closer to Zelda and whispered, “She got the potion that healed young master from that healer, the nectar from what I believe is the Aetherlily bloom.”
“Well done!” Cornelius patted Leal’s shoulder before turning to Zelda, “what are you missing?”“Nothing… and that’s the problem.” Zelda shook her head “The potion, once ingested is meant to melt and thaw internal organs when it reaches the heart. The speed depends on the person’s health.”She exhaled slowly before continuing, “When master and mistress were attacked, I was summoned quickly. I managed to stop the spread by freezing time and bringing them here… I cannot hold time for more than ten minutes.”“Once I identified the poison, we tracked down its source and have been working on an antidote ever since. But the problem is… we can only neutralize one element.”Her shoulders sagged.“And doing so only accelerates the spread of the other.”“What if we awake Alex, give him the antidote, freeze him again before the other element flares up?” Baldwin asked, unsure if he was making sense, but this was the only thing he could think of. He couldn’t stay silent.Zelda shook her head “Once
Leonie raised her head to look at the young man beside her, not realizing that she was looking at the sovereign of the land.She blushed as she saw him looking at her with a smile. He was more handsome than anyone she had ever seen… the gentleness in his eyes and the soft curl of his lips as he looked at her… it felt as though his smile was meant just for her. Her young heart fluttered, faster than a bee in flight.The darkness below seemed to pulse, as though reminding her just how little stood between safety and falling.Her fingers loosened… then tightened again.Indecision…Awareness.And something else… something far more dangerous than the drop beneath them.Slowly… cautiously… she shifted her hand.Not quite reaching… not quite refusing.Just enough that the space between them felt suddenly charged… fragile, like the narrow path beneath their feet.Orseus did not move to close the distance.Did not rush… did not push.For once… he waited.“Keep moving…” Leal nudged gently, notic
Mira shivered as she felt the cold air biting into her bones. She moved closer to Jack, who hugged her instinctively, enveloping her in his warm embrace.“The blindfolds can come off.” Taro’s voice echoed through the space, a calming melody to the frozen souls.One by one, they obeyed, pulling off their blindfolds and hugging themselves or their partners, for warmth.Once the blindfolds came off, their reactions were perfectly synchronized. They stared around in frozen awe… frozen both physically and mentally.They were in an ice cave, and it was nothing short of magical, even though they had no idea that they were several feet underground.The walls and ceilings looked like reverse bubbles, some surfaces so smooth, they gleamed like crystals. Even the ice formations were enchanting; they shimmered everywhere, icicles, ice draperies, frozen streams glowing faintly beneath the surface, jagged stalagmites rising like sculptures.It looked more like a crystal castle than a cave, especial
“Our Duke also asked us to pass a message to your king.” The head guard spoke once again, noting that no one wanted to challenge them anymore “This is just the first of many greeting gifts that our duke and his highness, the supreme royal sovereign are sending your way.”“We hope he enjoys every sin
“What do you mean?” Song Kai turned his head to look at Su Han in confusion.“Do you think I would have agreed to send our men to their doom if I thought the princess had a chance to win?” Su Han asked without answering the question.“We didn’t have a choice...” Gu Hei muttered in a low voice “They
Su Han didn’t waste any time as he rushed to bury his dead while urging Song Kai and Gu Hei to do the same. He knew the Zumerongs were men of their word, and they had an hour, but that wasn’t a lot when you had to bury more than half your men. He sighed regretfully as he looked at the bodies that la
The soldier who had received the order previously returned with the most smelly looking trencher he could find; it was evident from the filth on it that it was used to feed the pigs and yet he walked in carrying it without the slightest change in his expression; he wrinkled his nose in disgust he pi
