“YOU’RE back!”
Eleand found Rieska in her nightdress and her hair still wet. He swallowed hard. He couldn’t control to stare at her from head to toe. She was damn hot! Especially her long shapely legs and her curves in the right places.
He was suddenly in heat, and he hurriedly went inside the shower to calm his nerves.
No, Eleand. Don’t think about it. He muttered to himself.
The warm water in the bathtub calmed his senses. Tonight was the first time he would spend the night with the queen, just the two of them inside the bedroom.
Darn! He groaned.
Zenus was right. Sleeping with Rieska was not an issue. She was his wife. But for an unknown reason, he was ecstatic and nervous at the same time. It would be easy for him if only she treated him as her real husband. The fact that she still loves her king, he was deeply saddened. The only reason he kept his emotions in pl
RIESKA and Eleand were seated in the exact location from yesterday. Even the High Leaders did the same. There were arguments again, but gratefully, no one dared to hurt each other physically. However, all of them were alert.“Today, we’ll discuss different kinds of the battle strategy if the war broke….” Branigan showed the hologram on the table. All were silent and listened to the young lord.Branigan explained the possible scenarios once the enemy tore the wall completely. The broken barrier would expose the faerie realm’s existence to humans, creating chaos between races.Eleand thought that maybe it was Esdras’s plan all along to expose their domains because he wanted to take over not just in the faerie realm but the entire world.The conference went smoothly. The attendees set aside their personal issues and created strategies for their survival. Although, some were not in favor, especially Aserah.
“STOP! Stop!” Rieska tried to intervene, but everybody was busy to listen. Everyone in the council defended themselves against the three intruders. Most of them were panting.“We have no choice but to unleash our full powers even if it means killing thousands of faeries!” Aserah glared at everyone.“No!” Rieska shouted and faced the Emperor, “Esdras, stop this! I will come with you!” the queen screamed.Esdras automatically halted from his attack, along with his companions. The gigantic magic circle disappeared. The Emperor flashed a triumphant smile.“Did I hear it right?”Rieska nodded. “Please don’t hurt them anymore.”“I know you’ll always pick the best choice.”Eleand blocked his body to the queen, and Zenus pointed his swords to the intruders.“I will die first before you lay your filthy hands
AIROH walked in the massive hallway in the palace of Cerratien—the Capital City of Muhler. He was on the second floor, and he could see the spacious battleground. There were two faeries training there. One male and the other was female. At a distance, he could feel the enormous amount of mana coming from them, and their fight was intense enough to catch his attention.“The High Princess is a badass,” Blythe said, following his gaze. Blythe was his General. She was his companion here since he was chosen to be an emissary from Alegerio. Airoh was sent by his father to be the diplomatic representative. “Is that her?” He was immediately drawn by her beauty. Airoh had heard many things about this alluring Princess of Muhler, who would be the next Empress soon. He witnessed how good she was using the sword. She was moving with lethal grace; her elegance hypnotiz
ELEAND was almost out of voice for screaming too much. Blood was everywhere. The pain would not subside. His body felt like tearing apart. A large amount of mana inside him was out of control. The combination of blinding light and a black fire started to swirl in his weak body, but the flow of memories kept going…Airoh and Rieska talked to the human king—Leodan. They planned how to lessen the casualty when Sorath’s plan took place.“I wish to permanently cut the ties of the faerie realm to the human world.” King Leodan said. Airoh tilted his head. “Agreed. Once the wall is built, the faeries will lose all the connections they have with mortals.” Rieska started the incantations to seal the contract using their blood… Magic shook the world. So many humans and faeries died of an extreme earthquake. The
THE excruciating pain grew even more, physically and mentally. Eleand’s bones started to crack as his mouth vomited blood. His head would explode if he couldn’t withstand the pain, his heart beating like it would come out from his chest. The memories of the past where Airoh was there continued to play inside his mind…Airoh knew his magic was fading. But he still teleported to be back in Erganiv. The wall barrier was nearly complete. It would close anytime soon. But he would take his revenge on the murderer who ruthlessly killed Ayil and Azahel.Then he recognized Elohim, drinking with Israfil—the newly appointed ruler of Argia. The two were celebrating, maybe because the war had ended. They were beside the ruins of an obelisk.Elohim gaped when he noticed him, particularly to his bloody hands holding the dagger. “Sire, you’re back!” Elohim
THE quivering of Eleand’s body was unstoppable. Zenus and Kharyn entered his room. Kharyn moved to give him support. “Don’t. He’ll survive this. Trust him.” Zenus halted her. “No…” She started to sob when she saw how Eleand suffered. “H-Help me…” Eleand pleaded. His eyes seemed to cry blood. The bleeding wouldn’t stop, along with his unruly mind—his skull started to rupture. “Please, hold on.” Kharyn’s voice cracked. Eleand wailed. He saw it again. The remaining memories of the King after thousands of years… Airoh gasped heavily and opened his eyes. He couldn’t move his body. Invisible magic contained him. Until he realized he was inside an iron box full of anti-magic runes. A young faerie peered down at him. “Who are you?” he innocently asked. “I’m Airoh, and who are you, young one?” “I’m Prince Branigan of Argia
AN AGONIZING yowl filled up the corners of the room. Eleand felt like his body exploded into bits. The internal injury started to be visible physically. But the time when he knew that death was inevitable, the bleeding in his nose stopped, even the skull wrecking head pain.He gathered enough energy to crawl to his bed. Kharyn and Zenus assisted him this time.Eleand looked at his hands. The shivering halted. His senses heightened as well, and he could feel the fluctuating power in his veins wanted to overflow. The damage in his body started to heal.Those memories, it was his. He was finally free. Every question in his mind was answered about his true origin and his strong magic.The Ancient King was back!He, Eleand Altierra, was Airoh all along.I’m sorry, my queen. I’m really sorry for remembering everything just now. He hardly closed his eyes, hoping the link between his mate would
AIROH was accompanied by Zenus when they went to the White Mountain. They used the Vanire to hasten their travel than using a dragon. The faces of the faeries there were astounded to see them.“What kind of sorcery is this?” An old demifae gasped.“Yerie, bless us! It’s true, King Airoh is back!” said a very familiar voice from his side. A female faerie who wore battle armor.Airoh turned to face her and spread his arms. “How are you, Blythe?”“Airoh!” She immediately put her palm down to her chest for a salute. Then she emotionally wrapped her arms around him. Her eyes moistened and carefully touched his cheeks.Tears cascaded to the face of his previous General. Now, Blythe was the one in charge of the White Mountain. She maintained the order of political matters here.Airoh and Rieska appointed her to rule the city since the two of them chos
