Prince Chandler had gone to the weaponry with the words of Penn still ringing in his head. Be careful of shadows, no matter how much he had tried to think about something else, the words kept ringing in his head.And he felt guilty. Penn's words were cutting but true. The soul of the innocents were all he could think of. That and the wickedness of the nobles. Their powers were being abused everywhere and this, he noticed because he was paying attention to the nitty-gritty details not the lofty things which the nobles wanted him to see on  his journey.“My prince.” His manservant called out softly and his voice was followed by the usual soft taps on the carriage door. “Are you asleep?” Chandler smiled in amusement, if not for the fact that his mother will sink her claws into this one, he would have been tempted to keep him because he always manages to make Chandler smile. “If I am asleep, how cou

Penn watched Curtis and Patty laugh and joked around as her brows went down in deep concern, she knew that she should not suspect Curtis based on the fact that she did not trust him but there was no other option. Rima certainly was not the person betraying the resistance, she had no reason to. All her family belongs to the resistance, the only reason why she was not groomed to join in the resistance before was because it was believed that women could not help in terms of war just like the empire archaic belief of that fact that women did not belong in politics or among soldier. Rima had built a life for herself when it comes to the resistance. She has started training female spies, something which the resistance was finding profitable and amazing because people say a lot of things in presence of the females, either to brag or because they are just arrogant people who believes that if you are not a man, you are invisible. General Cain was one of the second group. And Rima could not t

 The prince saw Penn look turn to anger at the sight of him and gulped, why was talking to this boy felt like he was undergoing the largest conquest of his life and he wanted to come out victorious? And victorious in Penn case was having the brat as a friend. “Your Highness.” Penn bowed mockingly when Stanley hits her. “You know that you do not have to do that.” Chandler protested weakly. Penn straightened with her expression blank, struggling to keep the anger from her face. “Yes I do your highness. I would not want you to hit me again.”Chandler flinched as he used one of his hand to rub his face like he was tired. Why on earth was Penn this difficult to be friends with? And why was he still pushing to be friends with the brat when things like this do happen, was he that lonely for real attention? “I am sorry that I ever tried to lay my hand on you in anger.” Chandler said de

Rima saw Curtis in the cattle stall, which was where he spent his free time these days, he was among the cattle as usual but this time he was playing with a Calf while the mother watched on.  Rima took a moment to appreciate the scene before her. It was a far cry from when Curtis was forced to clean their stalls and all, so many changes Curtis has done all within the space of three months. Which was why she found it hard to believe that Curtis would be the person to leak out any information. After all, he had found his place among them and he did not really annoy her as such as he did any longer and he had grown on her, not like Stanley did neither was it like the way she and Penn became friends but Curtis own was a mixture of both and still not as strong as her friendship with Stanley and Penn but it was still considered that. Friendship. “Hello Rima.” Curtis said without looking up from the Calf he was playing with. “How

“Penn calm down and let me treat your arm.” Rima said as she hurried after Penn just as he stopped in front of the dining room which they never use then turned to face her with the unhidden fury he felt trained on her and the silent boy who wax tagging behind her and silent from the guild he was feeling. “This would not have happened if both of you were not having issues, I get that you were a couple and you are allowing things which should not affect you to affect you now but you both need to sort yourselves out because the resistance is not a place for brats.” Penn snaps at Rima and gestured at Stanley with her arm that was injured before the Pain hits her again and she groaned as she used her other hand to support it. “Let me help.” Rima rushed forward but Penn shouted. “I do not need your help, I do not want it too, either from you too.” Penn yelled at Stanley. “Just get over what is mak
