When Eternity Becomes a Lie Chapter 17
Freya's POVThe negotiation proceeded in a tense, suffocating atmosphere.Dorian sat across from me, his eyes never leaving my face.Even with the veil, even with my altered voice, he stubbornly believed I was Freya.He wasn't wrong.But I would never admit it."Regarding the storage conditions for the Heart of Blood," I continued in a professional tone, "it requires a special crystal container, with the temperature maintained at ten degrees below freezing...""Enough," he suddenly interrupted.I looked up at him."We both know this isn't about the trade," he said, his voice weary and pained. "Freya, stop this charade."I was silent for a few seconds."I don't know what you're talking about, Your Highness," I looked back down at my papers. "If you have no objections to the terms, we can proceed with the final exchange."He didn't speak again, just stared at me.I took an exquisite crystal box from my bag. It contained the complete formula and samples for the Blood Plague cure."This is
When Eternity Becomes a Lie Chapter 16
Dorian's POVI forced myself out of my despair. No, there was still hope.But the message from the Guild's envoy was unbelievable."The healer I'm supposed to meet with is refusing?"The envoy nodded nervously."Yes, Your Highness. She said she's unwell and needs a leave of absence. The Guild is willing to send another excellent healer in her place—""No," I cut him off, my voice cold as ice. "I will only see her."This was the real reason I came to Veridia.Not for some damn "Heart of Blood" trade.It was because I'd tracked a piece of information—the genius healer who cured the Blood Plague had long, silver hair.In this world, how many werewolf healers had silver hair?"Your Highness, but she is truly unwilling—""Go back and tell your Vice-Master," I stood, looming over the envoy, "if she doesn't come, the deal is off."The envoy's face went pale."Your Highness, you can't! The Heart of Blood is too important to our Guild!""Then have her meet me," I said, turning to the window. "T

Freya's POVThe next morning, I went to find Elias."Vice-Master, about yesterday..." I knocked on his office door."Freya!" Elias looked up, excited. "Perfect timing! I'm preparing the materials for the meeting!"His desk was covered with documents and herb samples."Actually, I came to tell you I can't attend the meeting."The pen in Elias's hand froze."What? Why?"I had my excuse ready."I need a leave of absence," I said, trying to sound calm. "These last three months have been exhausting.""But Freya, this opportunity is too good to pass up—""Send someone else," I cut him off. "Marcus or Elena are both excellent."Elias frowned."But they specifically asked to meet with you, Freya. You're the one who developed the cure. You created this miracle.""Then tell them I'm sick," I said, turning to leave. "Or that I'm on a field mission. Whatever it is, I won't be there.""Freya!" Elias called out urgently. "What is wrong with you? Your reaction yesterday when you heard the name Valkyr

Freya's POVTwo years. I stood in a high tower in the city of Veridia, looking down on the place that had once broken my heart.I was no longer the same Freya who hid in the Misty Valley, licking her wounds.I wore the deep blue robes of the Healer's Guild, the silver insignia of a Senior Healer pinned to my chest.After my bond with a vampire, I could never rejoin the werewolf healers, but fate had rewarded me with a chance to live my dream in neutral territory.I had earned this status with two years of blood and sweat.The million gold coins Viktor gave me had been a good start.But what truly established me in the Guild was my talent for herbology and my reckless drive.For two years, I took on the Guild's most dangerous missions.I went to the northern glaciers to harvest snow lotuses and nearly froze to death.I delved deep into the southern poison forests for antidotes and was almost killed by the toxins.Countless other times, I walked the line between life and death.Every tim

Dorian's POVA week later, Liliana miscarried.She lost the child in her womb, and with it, her place in the Valkyrie family.I didn't see her one last time.Now, I sat in the family office, a mountain of documents piled in front of me.Taking over the family affairs was always my destiny, but now, it was just a tool to numb myself.Only when buried in this tedious work could I stop thinking about her, just for a moment.But even then, Freya's ghost was everywhere.Every report I read, I remembered the focused look on her face when she helped me organize papers.Every signature I signed, I remembered the soft whisper of her voice in my ear."Jacob!" I called my assistant. "What's the status of the investigation?"Jacob entered, his face grim."Your Highness, we've chased down every possible lead," he placed a report on my desk. "But... she boarded a ship under a false name, and from there, the trail went cold."I shot to my feet."What do you mean, vanished?""She switched to another f
When Eternity Becomes a Lie Chapter 12
Dorian's POVHelena's face was chalk white. She stared at me, her eyes filled with terror."How much... how much did you hear?" she stammered.I didn't answer.I just stared at her coldly, the way you'd look at a venomous snake. The look in my eyes silenced her.Just then, hurried footsteps echoed down the hall.Viktor rushed over, carrying a bottle of precious aged blood."How is she? Is Liliana alright?" he asked anxiously, clearly here to soothe the "unwell" future princess of his.Then he noticed the strange tension between us."What's wrong?"I ignored Helena's panic and turned my gaze to Viktor. I calmly began to tell the 'story' I had just overheard."Care to hear a story, Father? A story about a substitute bride. A pure-blood sister who refused to marry, so her half-blood sister took her place and deceived an entire family..."The bottle of blood slipped from Viktor's grasp, shattering. Red sprayed across the marble floor—the perfect, tainted symbol of the pure bloodline he che
