“Open this cage at once!” Lord Jyris ordered, his gaze hardening as he clicked his claws against the golden rings on his fingers. “The White King—” the warrior began to protest when Lord Jyris silenced him with the following words. “I will take her to him myself.”In no time, he had taken Xinora to the throne room. It was large and tall, adorned with gold and giant menacing statues.“Father!” She rushed out of Jyris’s hold immediately, her bare feet hitting the smooth that glimmered golden as a result of the floating candles above. The White King’s eyes brightened, and in a flash, he was in front of her, pulling her into an embrace. He seemed to have flown there, but it was too quick. His wings had sprouted from behind him as quickly as they had vanished. He acted with perfect precision. He was wearing an open silver flowing robe, his silver crown on his gray-haired head. He was enormous and from the gap between his robes, faint white scales protruding from his skin could be seen.

“Her eyes were blue, Father.” She said back. “The Blood Moon will perfect it. All unnecessary traces of the previous Holder will be washed away. If they are not—”“They’ll have to be. I do miss my eyes but these ones I can bare. They are the same colour as yours. They are perfect, just like yours, Father.”“You see that, Dogori? To my Xinora, I am the perfection she aspires to be.”“Yes, your Majesty,” he replied with a bow.“No one in this Realm or any other realm can be like her.”“Indeed your Majesty.”“We leave, Dorogi. I will speak to you later.”With that, the White King started guarding his daughter out of the Throne room in the direction of her room. She requested for the Blood Dagger, claiming that she wanted to be prepared so that when the time would come, she would be able to kill the Death Gem Bearer. Her father once again said she had to have a bath, change her dress, and eat. “You must rest. You are in such a hurry to impress me. You must rest; you’ve only just retur

The first thing Belladonna laid her gaze upon when the piece of cloth was pulled away from her face was the corpse of Lady in a glass coffin.She almost looked like she was asleep, but she wasn't; Belladonna could just tell that she wasn't.She remembered her through, from a distant memory. A memory flashed in her mind, one of this lady giving her a dagger and pressing a kiss to her cheek. Only that it wasn't her the Lady had kissed but Xinora.This was Litya. She had been the one consoling the Queen when Alaris and her had intruded the Castle. Belladonna had not seen her on that day but the voice she had heard that night tied to the memory she was never even part of perfectly. Belladonna looked around sharply to find that she was in a room filled with people. She could spot glowing hair and eyes that stared back at her sharply. “You see her, don't you?” That was the Queen, Belladonna knew that voice. She turned to her immediately. She was standing right next to the coffin, her si

“How?”“We will tell you when you tell us the side you are on,” Jyris' father said. Thinking quickly, she asked how it was possible that they still had Lutya’s body unburnt when the White King had said he set her ablaze. “I helped with that,” Boro answered, then he continued. “It wasn't ordinary flames, it was one to tell the truth.”“How did you help with it?”Bori wasn't in Xinora’s memory, and Belladonna could feel that he was the one that had brought her here; the needed touch was acquired, but nothing had come out of it. So who exactly was he because she had seen nothing about him?It was different from trying to figure out Xinora’s relationship with Dogori. It wasn't like there was none, it was just like there was a block. But for Bori, it felt like there was none. “I am Dogori’s only apprentice. I have his trust and my ways that I intend to use for the freedom of all of Vestros from the hands of the White King.” He spoke with so much conviction and hatred for his teacher,

Bori had strengthened the tattoo, a dragon being had been killed to do that. It was sad and an uncomfortable knowledge for Belladonna but it was necessary. She still hadn't been able to find a way to get out of the castle to send a message to Alaris. The White King still wasn't back yet, neither was Jyris. The Queen and the leader of the four Houses betraying the White King were happy to have her as a new acquisition to the weapons against their enemy.Bori warned Belladonna that after this, the only thing that would keep Xinora away was her acquiring the Death Gem and she had agreed to it. Tonight was, however, a very special night. It was the night for them to kill the White King. They had been planning it for a long time, poisoning him slowly and weakening him. Weakening him?!The White King Belladonna had encountered didn't look weak at all! If that was his weak state, she wondered what he really was like. “Is there anything I must do?”The Queen nodded. “Do not interfere.”
