CHAPTER 19: RYU
Damn that dragon mage and damn my ignorance. He is too smart for me to even manipulate. If I won’t take her back, the Underworld’s most notorious hunters and mercenaries will surely come for her, but that Zephyr, he does not care a bit.
I call him Zephyr; he is the wind mage, after all.
Even though I have nothing to do with her, but damn, I hate this wandering mind of mine. If I can’t get a good talk with him, I will take a bet on her.
--After all, we are just the same.
“Pathetic,” She then spoke up with that same cold voice of hers, “How come someone as pitiful as you isn’t even dead yet or should I say---” She paused, only to make me hear her footsteps getting louder as she advances.
As I stared at the mossy stone floor, her figure covered the torchlight, casting out her shadow upon my worn-out body. Her footsteps ceased as she squatted down in front of me.
“How come you even exist?&rdq

RHYS's POVMany people will admit that selfishness is the cause of all the miseries in this world, but they fall under the demoralizing belief that it is somebody else’s selfishness and not their own.They are worse than scums.I unpleasantly thought. As I stood by the bridge going to the grand hall. Hera goes by, I watched her bravely enter the dungeon with bandages and medicine.Crossing the line or just pure kindness, I wonder which is which.As soon as she entered, I strolled away, going home to take a rest.The military huh, I bet that snake cannot hide its tail much longer since his or her plan was a crappy failure. That is where people usually act rashly, and I will use that to my advantage.As I took a pace home, my mind wandered about yesterday. So what happened actually, how come I am still alive, and with no burns?Bas

:RHYS's POVBefore we knew it, specks of dusts were now harshly flying in our surroundings, and the horses whined from the unforeseen occurrence.With the light of the upcoming dawn, I didn’t even need to wait for the flying dust to subside just to see what’s in front of me.Remembering how unpleasant was the blast whenever they transform, I managed to get away in time.This is the first time I got to see her dragon form, and the scene only made the insides of me be filled with a familiar emotion, wrath.A thirteen-meter tall or less average red dragon, she held a resemblance to the dragon that opposed me and Leonor back then. It must have been hard for you, Dawn, to play the role of a pitiful swindler.Well, never thought words can easily sway her. She reacted from information Henry apprised earlier. Her actions will make more sense if I were to conclude that she’s connec

THEON’s POVNews broke and spread like wildfire, of how the slayer fought and killed a traitor. Some humans pleasantly chatter about it while dragons, like they always do. They kept their mouth shut and go with the flow, solely waiting for the day vengeance is served.Rhys, why is death so necessary to you? Why did you do it, then lock yourself in your mansion for the entire day? Was it to hint how guilty you are about it?Just why does she even hate us that much?I slowly strolled towards where they said the traitorous dragon was slain yesterday. Even though I am a bit far away, I could see a small memorial. They left one in honor of her great deeds as a military dragon before she even became a turncoat.There isn’t even one for a former dragon who served the Royals like Cart Leonor. Maybe his connection with the late Crown Prince made him seemed worthless for even a ‘stone’.

:THEON’s POVThe day of our departure had come, and it has been an hour ever since we left the castle. At the Grand Hall, the royal twins, Hera and Harith, bid their goodbyes to me. Princess Hera only blabbered about her best wishes for us while Prince Harith, he is quite thankful his dream came true.Nah, we’re still not married. If I remember it correctly, people call it ‘engagement’. I don’t think everything would end up in veils and rings. I will surely not let it happen.The king declared that he’ll be the one to schedule the wedding. I hope it would happen one hundred years from now.Our travel only consists of two normal wooden carriages with six sentinels on their horses. I wouldn’t want to attract bandits just by riding on a luxurious Berline wagon. Besides, it is nothing but the ride that we need and never for the sake of exalting power and status.I ma

:RYU’s POVEver since I agreed upon his request of me coming with him on a journey, I know my life will never be the same. Silenced confined me in this lonely wooden carriage. I wonder where we are heading to. Is it a place where someone like me is welcomed and accepted?Well, let’s find out later.The carriage was taking a gradual pace. It has been an hour and a half already, as the scene gradually changed from the scenery of thick gloomy woods, into an astonishing sight of wide and flat desiccated rice fields, and of unusual dwellings miles away from each other. Majestic mountains stood from afar and the sky was cloudless, and the sun was shining brighter than where I came from.So this is the foreign world.I am not into escaping, after all, I noticed how well-rounded these sentries are. I would rather stay around; at least, it is just out of curiosity.I want to know what will happ

:RHY’s POVAs far as I can remember, this is the second time I visited this place. Much had changed that I do not even know where to start to count. Not even a memory of how it used to be was left in my memory, but I know I have walked these same old stone pavements before.It has been thirteen years, after all.“This is where the trading happens,” I mumbled as I look around the area. I would rather tire myself out before going to bed than waste my time thinking about unnecessary stuff.That idiot, if only he did not open that stupid mouth of his, we might have not said too much.I strolled as to where my feet lead me to while looking for something that interests me. They displayed various kinds of products on their wooden stalls like pieces of jewelry, fabrics, ornaments, perfumes, makeups, and most things that correspond to beauty and positions.Just when will people slam the w

: THEON’s POV “Is beasty not going to eat?” Ryu asked in a zappy manner as he entered the private dining room we rented in the inn. Beasty? Just how in the world did they even become that close? “Let her be,” I responded before sitting sat on one of the ten seats, “She must have thought that feasting with the enemy is quite distasteful to even imagine it.” With curiosity, Ryu glided towards an empty seat and instantly sat down with a tedious look. “How come you are acting more like that beast than the beast itself?” he then asked. What does that even supposed to mean? “Don’t even start claiming you know me, or her.” I annoyingly replied as I pointed myself then to my back indicating 'her', “We all just met each other a few days ago in some ghastly circumstances after all.” “Yeah, you are right,” He uttered, “So why then this sudden marriage? You aren’t into killing her, right? Because if you will, you will

: THEON’s POVI have never expected things to turn out like this.They were just there, fancily chatting with her on the sofa inside the chilling living room. As I lean on the wooden door frame with my folded arms, I watched those two, Liam and Luna, being terrifically astounded by her responses to their numerous cocky questions. Rhys still wore that numb face of hers though, matching her apathetic voice.I am glad they have no clue about who she is, all they are aware of is that she is a princess, and my bri —that.“What a lovely scene we got here,” Ryu described with amusement as he stood beside me. “I bet she’s being suffocated right now.” He smirked.“Would you shut up,” I annoyingly glared without looking at him, “Not in my home.”“Well, you also got some huge and weird house here,” He glanced around, examining the area.I
