“He makes his trainees quit?” Keith asked, seeming very shocked by the sudden revelation. Sean nodded as he stuffed his face with the bowl of soup and rice balls. Usually Keith would stare at his favourite meal with love sick eyes but right now, something else seemed to have caught his interest.Maybe talking to Sean isn't a waste of a nice conversation then..“Is that so?” Keith asked, hoping that wouldn't make Sean tell him more.What if Ellinor was doing all of this just to get him to tell everyone he wasn't interested in getting trained by him anymore?But what kind of trainer would want someone to quit? It clearly made no sense! “I heard from his past trainees that he is a very vicious man! He'll hace them the toughest training first before handing them the lesser ones! He's training his men to be killers and some of them didn't want to be.”Keith tried his best not to flick his tongue at the words that came out of Sean's mouth.If only he knew that Keith was doing this so he w

After making sure to saddle their horses in a place they would remember later that night, Ellinor and Rose stepped into the party taking in the carnival-like setting..Ellinor was blown away! She was thinking it would be some in-house party with a handful of people…But this was no different from the end of the year festival the kingdom held for the past century!“This is so beautiful! Better than I imagined!” Rose said with a smile on her face.There were candle lights around the path leading into the party and on the trees were fairy lights.Something that was surely made by someone with gifts…There were countless food and drinks on the table which made it difficult for Ellinor to choose which to start first!She wasn't expecting to enjoy the party but from the solemn beating of the drums and the beautiful music playing in the background, she might as well dance the night away!“I should say hello to Deam” Rose said, pulling Ellinor with her..Ellinor wasn't sure where they were h

For the hundredth time that night, Ellinor turned aimlessly on her bed. Sleep was far away from her and she knew damn well it was hopeless trying to force it.. She and Rose were able to return back to their respective rooms without being noticed.Ellinor had slipped out of the wretched gown and stuff it under her bed before jumping on her bed to sleep…The feel of his lips on hers would continue to hurt her thoughts for as long as she can remember! She had tried a cup of water and a glass of milk but to no avail! Nothing seems to be working no matter how hard she tried!What is she going to do now? But the kiss wasn't so bad. It was rather very soft and seductive even…Something that made her want more than just a kiss from Keith ..“Snap out of it! He's your trainee!” Ellinor reminded herself, slapping her chin as well..What on earth is she doing right now? Thinking about such….intimate acts with Keith? KEITH of all the men in the entire universe! She must have really lost it!

“There's a roaster on the wall, if you name appears there, you have to move to Temple Jade before the end of today.” Keith notices everyone making their way towards the said wall in a hurry.“Please lord. Have mercy on my soul! I don't want to end up in that temple” Keith couldn't stop wondering what was so terrible about Jade temple! It seems like some place for monks, and that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.Liv8ng with monks, you learn the most useful piece of advice as a ypung man and maybe some great martial arts..Why were the men so bothered? Should he be running up and down, too? Should he really be concerned? He glances up at Ellinor, who had the most sinister smile on his face. That certainly isn't a good sign! That devilish bastard, who knows what he had in mind for Keith?Ellinor could run a sword around his neck without thinking twice if he had the chance! Keith made his way to the wall in search of his name. His heart was racing, and his hands seemed a bit

“Welcome to the Jade temple” Keith turned to see three men standing on a podium, all dressed in black and gold robes.Their hair was long enough to touch the ground and a generous lush of silver..“As you all know, you will be staying in the Jade temple and training as well. Congratulations to the ones who were able to make it pass the wall and those that are outside…”The old man smiles in a very cocky way as his eyes landed on Keith..“They might have to fight for their lives!”There was instantly murmuring amongst the men as they begin to wonder what a old man was trying to say…‘It means that they will be fighting with the bears tonight. Hopefully they are able to survive before morning then the gate will be open again..”Keith was flabbergasted and completely shaken by their words. How could they let something like this happen to the men and smile about it?Lives are involved here and yet the old man still stared at Keith with a bright smile..What sort of twisted sense of humou
