CHAPTER 47
: THEON’s POV
As I stood beside the open window, I shrieked. “This is bad.” I glanced at them, “A wedding a month from now?!”
“Yeah,” Rhys corresponded without hints of anxiety, “It is what the paper says,” she added while she stilled her attention on that rolled-out scroll.
Why are you so calm? Damn it!
Ryu, who was leaning on the closed door behind Rhys with his palms on his nape, joined the conversation, “I wonder why the king declared such all of the sudden,” He slowly strolled towards Rhys’s sitting figure and bent his back down to read the scroll with her. He actually wore that freaking attitude. Yeah, he unerringly smirked.
“Days from now, they will hold an engagement party at that kingdom, huh, both of your presence is needed.” He informed.
“They even decided to concurrently hold the wedding together with that once

: RHYS’s POV “The Smith household is really that popular huh,” I astonishingly mumbled while reading some reports about the Smiths here inside the evil devil’s lair. “How come I failed to hear about them when I was at the castle?” “Nah,” I smirked, “As if I care about humans before." Earlier, after a thirty-minute or less stroll under the night sky, I reached the manor. I asked Fish to collect all valuable information about that foolish household when I finally reached home, but he assertively led me here instead. He also informed me that the Marquis had been keeping an eye on them ever since…--um, I don’t know; he didn’t tell me. That guy Fish, what a funny name. Even though his voice isn’t that familiar, his face does. The second time I took a closer look at him earlier, he is certainly that old man’s former dragon partner. Well, it doesn’t look like he didn’t have a choice, though. To stay her

: THEON’s POV “Wake up, Theon!” a familiar young voice called out as she pulled my blanket away. “It’s almost sunrise!” She added, forcing me to wake up. I slowly dragged my body, compelling me to sit on my bed, but the not-so-bright light that crept on my open window sent me blinking three times just to adjust my blurry vision. Another day broke, and I, no, we---are still alive. Who must I give my thanks to? “Damn,” I muttered before massaging my heavy and aching forehead. Not only that, “Damn, what a terrible dream.” I shrieked quietly and covered my blistering face with both of my palms. Hangovers are problematic, it gives such unrealistic nightmares. “What did you dreamed of?” Luna, who seemed to have heard my grumbles, asked as she stood beside the edge of my bed, “You’re turning red.” She added, causing some unwanted memories to flash through my mind. “Don’t ask!” I ann

: RHYS’s POV “I want a dozen, no, hundreds of copies of books, original or not,” I demanded. “I’ll be opening a library in Weinthwoods and I need a supply.” Here at the Main Trading Center that works directly for the King himself, I boldly ask. “Your highness,” Old Sir Desmond trembled with fear as he sat on his desk. He reasoned, “Just as the Wise king had said before, books are not needed in the country.” With a swift swing of his hand, pushed his silver bangs that fell from his quiver. He bore a fake grin on his pale lips. Praying that I will take his advice of not going against that foolish king. I am not exactly 'going against', as if that King could even resist my will. “The King has nothing to do with my decisions, Sir Desmond.” I raised my voice. “I am the second princess of the court, the future Marchioness of Weinthwoods.” I appealed, “What makes you think my evaluations aren’t in the m
THE HUNT: Bound to the sky [PART 1] CHAPTER 1: THE 1st HUNT: To kill or to be killed
Dusk stretches to the western sky and with the whispering anguish of the wind, the once lively slum had ceased their laughter, and the well-lit torches had demised. Blasters of iron locks plucked in at very houses as one each do their best to stay noiseless. To kill or to be killed, that is the question. Men known for their chivalry are once again in their shiny armor. They silently strolled into this gloomy, filthy pathway as darkness is drenching the rough-hewn wooden shantytown. Their heads were down, facing the ground that which would likely be their grave. Their heavy footsteps loitered in their dead atmosphere as they held their sword hilt and shield with their shaky hands. ---Because whenever the night comes, all they could do is pray that they won’t be facing any beasts tonight. Despite the known doom that awaits them, amongst the fear-bitten crowd, was a peculiar fellow. With h

“Those filthy dragons are the enemies.” That is what my maid always reminds me of every night before I go to bed, but as I grow up,“We are all created in equal,” They said, that it is making me wonder, how could a mere human rival a dragon?“We are more powerful than them,”---but why do we fear them then?“Once, they said humans and dragons walked the same ground together.”---What’s the point of this unending war then?“If we won’t hunt them down, they will.”---What if-*crackling fire*---I guess they were nothing but monsters in the end.Before I could even notice, he was already near me, ready to pierce my neck, but I was able to dodge and jump back in pure instinct.Damn, he is fast.“How many souls did you manage to lead home today?” It was cold and yet,
THE HUNT: Bound to the sky CHAPTER 3: THEON
This bloody moon. It wasn’t a weakness or a nuisance to us before. It was a brief moment where we remind ourselves who we truly are, what we truly are.I look up to the round object sailing in the night sky; I watch how its reddish color is gradually fading away.This night is meant for us to glide and fly freely up to the evening sky with nothing but love for each other. And humans, back then, were fond of us—They worshipped, obey, and were loyal to us.Back then, we gave them everything, everything that they deserved. We stood by their side and taught them what we know. Dragons secured their safety and swore to give them leverage.--Until everything had changed.In the end, what made them thought of betraying us? What corrupted their hearts to do such an unforgivable act?In a small amount of time tonight, I observed numerous souls, most especially the old ones, go ‘home’ with color depic
THE HUNT: Bound to the sky CHAPTER 4: RHYS
The moment I woke up and recognized this old, lame stone ceiling, I knew I lose.My teeth gritted with anger as my hands clutched. Memories from yesterday elapsed in my mind, destroying my morning mood.“A pact, my ass!” I madly growled.Knowing this tainted blood running in my veins is a curse enough, now you think some lame pact could stop me?Eat that crap.I woke up and dressed myself in my uniform, ready for some scolding. As I tied a clean white bandage on my tampered wrist, an expected presence entered the room.“Your highness,” Arabelle, a maid, greeted me with a humble bow. Whenever I hear that title, I feel myself being suffocated.“General,” I corrected with a sigh before I pulled my long auburn hair together, tying them with a simple white ponytail.“His Majesty is waiting for your presence.” She formally informed with her normal tone. I only gave her a nod before pass
THE HUNT: Bound to the sky CHAPTER 5: RHYS
Two days from now is the so-called special day, but they already set a job for me to do. That is escorting nobles and some distant relatives of the royals.An escort is needed since bandits mostly show up in this kind of situation, or worse, dragons would.They would take this opportunity to enter the castle and just like before, they will tear down these walls, and flood the castle with seas of fire.I could hardly remember what it looked like before.As I stand by the gate of stones, waiting for official orders. Carriages of exquisiteness already reached the castle, safe and sound. Gladly, not a sign of any assault from the foe, it is making me wonder.I was about to stroll towards the other side of the gate when I heard my co-general called my name.“General Rhys,” he formally greeted, “We assign you in the outskirts of the palace.”I only gave him a nod, took my horse from the stables, and headed immediatel
