'Young master Adrian is hurt..' Rianne thought to herself. She could clearly smell the faint scent of blood coming from Ian's direction.  But even when she asked if he was okay, he answered as if nothing was wrong. Just when Rianne was trying to figure out Ian's condition, she heard other footsteps coming from behind them.  The three people that were with Venom was approaching them from behind. One of the three guys mumbled something to her ears and she chuckled.  "Not a bad idea indeed!" She spoke delightfully. Her eyes looked more vicious than ever as she twirled another small knife in her other hand.  'What's she planning now?' Ian wondered, getting a bad feeling from the way she maliciously smiled.  "This'll keep you to your place." She whispered and moved her hand. Th

Inside the party hall. Ian was trying hard not to fall asleep. An hour or so had passed already. The noble kids were all on the ground a bit far away from him and Rianne.  Their hands were tied up and were under constant observation of the five criminals. Rianne was currently right beside Ian since they decided that only one person was enough to keep an eye on both of them.  'And it obviously had to be that bastard.' Vel was guarding them while the other three were in charge of the other noble kids. As for Venom, she was eating.  That's right. She was eating. All the high quality foods prepared by the royal family was simply wasting away on top of the tables so she decided to have some for herself. "Whoa... Isn't that her fifth bowl?" Ian couldn't help but exclaim as he kept watching her stuff her mouth. She was definitely

"So it's true that he saved them?" "What's his identity?" "Is he from a powerful beast tribe?" "Looks like a cat..." Everyone suddenly became curious about Louis' identity and started asking him various questions. He wasn't intimidated but rather shy since he never faced so many people by himself or became their centre of attention.  "Pipe down everyone.. He's no stranger.. In fact, he's one of us.." Arthur finally broke the news to everyone.  "What do you mean?" "One of us? How?" They all waited for an answer enthusiastically. Even Miller was curious about the identity of this mysterious boy. But a few people already knew. Among them were Corner, Albert and two of Ian's close knights who always hung around him.  "This guy is under young master Adrian's direct c

Ian decided to come out after Rianne was done changing her clothes. But when the trio came out, the hall room was a total mess with all the noble kids freaking out everywhere.The fire had spread to an unimaginable degree covering almost all sides of the building. Ian wondered how they'd be able to get out at this rate when he suddenly sensed something.People. A huge number of them. Knight. Frightened cries of the horses. "Father's here."He knew instinctively that Miller and the others had finally returned after gaining their victory against the kidnappers and rescuing the Princess."PIPE DOWN EVERYONE!"Ian shouted at the top of his lungs, gathering the attention of everyone present. All of them were kids who had just witnessed Ian gaining an overwhelming victory against their enemies.So the moment they realised that Ian hadn't run away by himself, which they initially thought after not being able to find him anywhere, they
