An intimidating silence somehow woke me up, just to find myself alone in a grim and prison-like room, as I rested my back on the wall. I tried to stand up, only to find myself cuffed from hands to feet which I just recently noticed. My hands are roped on my back and on my ankles too.“What happened?” I softly mumbled, trying to remember what came to pass.I went to visit Rhys by early midnight at the Bescheil residence to ask her about her upcoming birthday, only to hear she was not there. Well, my actions were quite questionable too, since it is already midnight, and I am known to be cold-hearted around her.Upon leaving, that was when I blackout. For heaven’s sake, who dares hurt a princess and store her in such a filthy place?!I glanced at my surrounding. The walls were made of mud bricks, a table far in front of me, and a wooden door on the left side of the wall that I am facing. The floor is made of stone. There are no windows, and

As I quietly sat on this dirty and cold stone tiles inside this mud-made prison, solely remembering how we even ended up here.After we reached Leonor’s grave, we found no one, no one but a fresh ‘R’ mark carved on a tree, which Rhys must have left for us to follow, leading us towards the gloomy woods until we reached this mound-like place.I fathomed she is aware of the situation, how?We were supposed to give a signal to the army, but this idiot ran towards the front gates swarming with guards like some fated hero while shouting “I’m coming for you, retarded sister!”“What the heck was that, Prince?!” I annoyingly shouted onto him as he was sitting far from my side while resting his back on the mud-brick wall. We are in some war zone now, let us put courtesy aside.“Geez, Theon,” He slightly laughed, forced one. “But we managed to enter this place unhurt, right?” He scratched

My eyes broaden, as the footsteps had ceased. With the help of the moon, for a moment, I had forgotten what pain feels like when my entire body was overridden by shock for there in front of me,---Is a demon.He was just like that green-haired demon, but he owned a pair of reddish-black bat-like wings. His pupils were like of the dragons’, black oval pupils yet owned a pair of red iris.An odd set of horns, he has, on top of his black long hair; the right one was cut off short, but the other one seemed to be in a good shape.His upper clothing was stripped off, showing off his chest and torso covered with lopsided red small scales. His hands to his fists, it was concealed with moderate flakes, only to appear like an armored gauntlet. Moreover, on his face, the left side was almost covered with nothing but scales.Just what the hell is he?“I never thought you could push me to the point where I will need to equip,” He coldly

 It must have been hours ever since that incident and I am glad everything went well in just one night.Rhys’s wounds had been treated, but she is still unconscious. Hera is still coping with her terrible experience, and they chain the one and only enemy at the prison. The King ordered a search at the enemy’s headquarters and Harith led the investigation.Yeah, it is that prince who is leading it.I judiciously thought as I silently stared at the window, silently sitting on my office table. The scene was giving off midday sighs. I am quite tired, I haven’t got a good night sleep ever since yesterday.It's been bugging me out for hours already, why ‘his companions ran off and as to why he stayed. It is too strange to let it aside, knowing that he surrendered without a fight.How did they enter the castle unnoticed, anyway?I wonder if Harith already questioned him.His figure back t

 RHYS's POV  Many 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
