In a restaurant, Blethe met Michael for breakfast. She looked upset. "Michael, I don't understand why Kael pampers Sage so much. He used to like me. Then why is he suddenly behaving as if he doesn't? It's all about Sage. She is all he sees. For her, he can do anything. He is a prince, the future king of Dragons. He cannot favour her so openly. What would the council think of him? Why is he not understanding that?" Blethe complained. Michael stirred the cream in his coffee. He knows why Kael is so obsessed. But he is worried that Kael might get hurt. With Sage's nature, she wouldn't forgive Kael for what they did to her. So he decided to protect Kael, even though the dragon prince seemed self-destructive. "Blethe, you know Kael and Sage grew up together. Nadia was almost always with her grandparents because Her Highness Queen Vanessa used to be sick. Kael and Sage were always together through thick and thin. When Queen Vanessa was sick, it was Sage and her parents who stood by th

The next morning, in the Black Manor, Sage woke up to find herself alone on Kael's bed. She remembered last night's nightmare. Her spine shuddered with discomfort. 'I need to find out why that kind of substance was found in the lab,' she decided. Just then, Kael entered his room, fully dressed and ready for the day. "Morning, princess," he greeted her. She gave him a bright smile. "Morning," she mumbled sleepily. "Now get ready. You got a call from Professor Alberto. I answered it for you. He wanted to remind you about the visit to SOMLI FOREST to find some herbs. Now get ready. I will drop you there before going to work," Kael shared. Sage had completely forgotten about this trip, which Alberto had told her about weeks earlier. Their entire department was buzzing about that unknown powder incident. "I forgot about that. Give me ten minutes." With that said, she ran back to her room. She finished her morning routine quickly and dressed in black leggings and a black T-shir

Elsewhere... The dragon king stumbled forward as he felt a little off balance. "Alexander? What happened?" Vanessa asked with concern. Alexander glanced at his palm, where he could feel a slight tingling sensation. The tingling started suddenly, making him jolt and lose his balance. He knew what this meant. "A fissure occurred on the lock I placed on Sage's powers," he shared, as if in a daze. Vanessa looked equally shocked. "What? It's impossible," she gasped. She was right. Breaking or cracking a lock placed by the dragon king is next to impossible. "It happened. I can feel it in my bones," Alexander insisted. Vanessa shook her head. "But how is it even possible? Her energy is now equal to a human's. Cracking that lock requires power equal to that of an Alpha-level dragon. How can a weak little girl make a crack in it?" Vanessa argued. Alexander tried to grasp what this meant. He knew in his bones that a Crack had occurred. That lock he placed is directly aligned with

That evening, Kael was called into Alexander's study to have a chat. "What happened today? Your mom and I tried to call you so many times, but you didn't answer. I assume that you know what happened to Sage." Alexander came directly to the point. "Sage was attacked by a doctor who works with her in the Alberto labs. She tried to run. I found her unconscious, lying in the Somali forest. I brought her home," Kael shared. He didn't reveal everything. His father likes Sage. But he is a king first. If he finds out that Sage killed someone, he would definitely take action against Sage. Mainly because he believes in fair justice. Even if it were Nadia who killed someone, he wouldn't spare her either. "Is it? Is that why the lock on her power cracked?" Alexander asked, sounding confused. He was trying to make sense of everything. A crack in the lock is no small matter. "Maybe she must have been scared. Thought she might die there," he played along. The lock can break only under two circ

The next morning, Kael noticed that Sage's eyes looked different. Not her usual grey or greyish-green. No, that morning her grey eyes had dark green specks inside them. She looked the same, but the way she carried herself was different. She had an air of superiority and confidence. She wore a navy blue dress with a high neck. It hugged her frame to her waist before flaring down and reaching her upper thighs. Bold choice of clothing and color. Not vulgar, just right. There is a hint of gentleness lingering in her gaze, combined with cold detachment. Kael understood that Sage's witch had taken his advice from last night and slowly gotten herself familiar with the memories she missed. Now, the woman standing in front of him is not the Sage he grew up with. But the Sage who accepted her witch self back into her conscience. She is the real Tamara Sage Varkas before Alexander sealed her witch powers. She is back again. "Morning, Dragon," she greeted him with a wink. She is both being aff
