“Don’t let go, we have to escape from here,” the lady in a hooded green cloak yelled as she held a man’s hand so clinch. Her hair was dripping water. Her royal-like crimson red dress and the jewels on her neck topped up her aristocratic status. “But there is no other way out, Adira,” replied a man in simple commoner clothes. Bearing the oceanic-blue orbs and chiseled jaw. He’s all covered with mud and splash of paints and blood. “The Senate will kill you if we still stay here! And I am not letting that happen, I will not let you die.” Her stares and gape were so serious and austere darting towards him. She continued running and dragging the man behind her inside the dark muddy tunnel.           Outside was rain pouring hard and seems to have no plans on pausing for a moment

  Adira’s POV  “Gaia, they are requesting your presence in the court,” Gianni put forth.           I nodded at him in response and got up from the couch. “Say I’ll be there in a minute.” Gianni didn’t answer and what I heard was the door creaking before I could open my eyes and blankly stare at the remaining teal fluid in the bottle.           The remaining potion Edith gave me to conceal the child from Diego. Still didn’t expect him to mature this fast. I started treading a step and stopped, passing by the mirror. My head tilted, seeing the bump very obvious like I’ve swallowed a rock.           It’s just been a week that had passed

            Being told about my pathetic chronicle, Mayari shut silent about the Abberant’s side and didn’t ask any more questions. Except these two; the current beta of Sanguine and the princess regent of Daghum, trying to crack the shell. “I am warning you, Lady. If you dare step in my way, I’m gonna kill you.” “Oh, really? As if you can approach me, not even an inch, lowl!” “What? Do you think you’re that difficult to slit?”           Since these two entered the tent for the convocation, they’re like cat and dog trying to kill each other in quarreling. One’s defending Abberant and the other against his side. 

  “What? They’re declaring what?”           I almost tip over when one of Mayari’s team suddenly flashed down from the front carrying a sealed letter. And Pinansey-angan’s attack was stopped unanticipatedly. “Ceasefire, General. They want to pause temporarily.”           My brows furrowed even more that I snatched the letter from her. But instead of a decent group of words, what’s written was a bunch of meaningless ones.           ‘The Senate’s judgment.’ “Why should I care about the Senate’s judgment?” I muttered irately with my fist clenching the piece of paper.

  “I’m not gonna shut unless you tell me what happened at the field,” I irritatedly replied when she again yelled at me to shut up.           But still, she didn’t answer what I ask for and darted me a glare before taking it back to the tiny creature he was holding. “I’m not a good storyteller. Just do ask your good friend when he comes back later.”           My eyes automatically rolled and lay my back on a standing pillow as I sip from a glass of blood. Then she suddenly talked, starting a decent conversation perhaps. “Do you have a name for him?”           I shook my head and flung a plain stare at the sleeping baby in
