CHAPTER 42: FACING THE PAST AND ENCOUNTERING THE FUTURE (2).Vira pushed away the scarfaced lady, standing between her and Raya, panting. Vira held the blade in her left hand with the sharp double edge facing up in the direction of her thumb and index finger, while the one in her right hand was held horizontally with the sharp edge facing the direction of her little finger.The scar-faced lady paced a bit as she looked around, from Vira to the twins. "So you think you outnumber me, and have me surrounded, huh?" she scoffed and took a fighting stance, creating her blades as well. Rooni and Nooni strung their arrows, taking aim. The atmosphere got tense.She speedily charged toward Raya again, then the twins shut at her. With a swing of her left hand, she deflected the arrows as she shot a ball of fire at the twins. The twins took cover, jumping to the side as the fire raged toward them. The scar-faced lady advanced toward Vira, and Vira advanced toward her as well. She threw her bla

CHAPTER 44: ALLY OR FOE?RAYA'S POV.King Barakar and Talia led me to my chamber after I recounted all that happened. The soldiers opened the door as he led me in. Kieran and the maids followed us."I can only imagine how shaken up you must have been. But I'm glad no harm came to you," he said, looking at me with such caring eyes. "Me too," I smiled, blushing. "By the way, how did you fend off the attackers? I forgot to ask," King Barakar inquired. "The guards did their best, but the Black Death was much more powerful for them. But luckily, there were three individuals - commonfolks, who happened to be passing by, and they lent a hand. "They were able to ward off the assassins, and even kill one?" Talia asked."Yes. Surprisingly," I shrugged, "Inasmuch as they didn't even know who we were.""Those were no common folks then," King Barakar concluded, reasoning wisely. "I'd like to personally express my gratitude to them for risking their lives for you even when they had no knowledge

CHAPTER 46: DESPITE THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT.RAYA'S POV.Standing by the door that leads to the balcony, I stared at the city once again through the clear glass door. Despite the onslaught the ladies and I encountered, the city wasn't brought to a standstill. It was bustling as before. The activities that moved me to want to go sightseeing continued on. Did I want to continue my tour? Yes! But I couldn't. I knew King Barakar would forbid me from setting foot outside the Iron Den, seeing what happened. Sighing, I casually lifted my hand and munched on the last piece of pastry that Redchild served me a little while ago after I was done freshening up and changing into a different cloth. The pastry was laced with butter and blueberries in the middle. The outside had a brown crust, but the inside was tender and delicious - another delicacy foreign to me.Walking back to my table, I took a sip of hot tea. Just then, I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I responded. As the door swung

CHAPTER 48: SISTERS IN BLOOD.Talia was on her guard as she got up from the floor and looked around. She recalled the sensation she felt right before she flung open the door to her study and found Ighor standing behind it. But this was her territory. She didn't need to be worried. But for some reason, she was a bit concerned. She left Ighor and stepped out of his room. The hallway was large, and eerily quiet, as usual. Using her keen senses, she traced from whence the presence she felt originated. But it proved a bit difficult. That presence seemed to be everywhere - an attempt to throw her off. "I must admit - you're quite bold to dare to come in here, intruding into my house. But that was really stupid," Talia said as she continued her search, moving from room to room. The lamps on the wall of the hallway suddenly went out simultaneously. The only light she saw came from the living area. She hardly ever stayed there, therefore she didn't have the living area lit. She also knew I

CHAPTER 50: KEEPING THINGS FROM EACH OTHER.RAYA'S POV. For the next few minutes after we were served our meal, King Barakar and I ate in silence. It was awkwardly silent. Just the clattering of our utensils on the beautifully decorated ceramic plates filled the atmosphere around the table. I threw brief glances at the King, unable to look boldly. He then placed his cutlery on his plate and looked at me. "What's the matter, Raya? What seems to trouble you?" he asked calmly. He was genuinely concerned."I'm fine, Your Majesty." "You say that, but your eyes say otherwise," he responded. "Not to mention, you're trying really hard to keep me out of your head." "I'm fine. It's nothing to worry about," I smiled. By the look in his eyes, I could see he was not satisfied with my answer, but he chose not to press further.We continued eating in silence again as before. It wasn't long before I broke the silence. "So, the King's Games commence tomorrow.""Mm. It commences tomorrow," he res
