With his eyes closed, Jeremiah heard Obadiah recite the spell to test his magic but felt nothing for a whole minute which made him wonder if it was even going to work.The shaman did say that he had only used the spell on humans so could it be that it was ineffective when used on him, the reincarnation of Lord Crimson? Jeremiah was starting to second guess the whole thing when, to his surprise, he started feeling something in his core which was strange because until that moment he didn’t even know he had a core. But, because of what Obadiah was doing, it became too noticeable to ignore. It was a warm feeling that made his fingers tingle and skin sensitive to every stimulus, which said a lot because his senses were already heightened to an insane level before they started the spell.Next thing Jeremiah knew, he stopped hearing what Obadiah was saying as it went from coherent recitation to mumbling to a muffled mess and lastly to silence. Everything happened in the span of a second a

This was the first time since their encounter the afternoon of the previous day that they were meeting Jeremiah again and after how bad last time went, they could only be fearful of what would happen. Also, finding out that Jeremiah was the one who caught Desmond and beat him so bad he had to be hospitalized, the rest of David’s friends couldn’t help but be terrified that he was a violent maniac who could lash out at them at any moment. “Y-young master” Benson stuttered as he and all of David’s friends bowed their heads to Jeremiah. “Looks like you’re all leaving. What about David?” Jeremiah said and they all nodded, unable to maintain eye contact. “D-David would be staying back because his sister and grandfather came to visit, Y-young Master” Benson answered. Jeremiah groaned, already tired of how they were behaving towards him. The only ones who acted normal were Kristin and Brenda who couldn’t stop smiling as they looked at Jeremiah. “Good morning, young master” Brenda

“Who the hell are you?” David’s grandfather asked aggressively. Jeremiah looked at the elderly man from head to toe and scoffed. If there was one thing he despised more than anything, it was people using their authority and power to bully those they perceived as weaker. His second greatest dislike was elderly people failing to act their age.In Jeremiah’s mind, the elderly should be kind and patient with the younger generation, teaching them wisdom instead of throwing insults and abusing them but here was David’s grandfather who was doing the exact opposite.What made it even worse was that, as a relative of the king, David’s grandfather’s behavior tarnished Reginald’s reputation. And as Reginald’s son, Jeremiah wasn’t about to let that happen—especially not to his new personal maid.“Grandfather, I think you should—” David said, trying to get his grandfather to calm down, but the elderly man was too focused on Jeremiah to care for anything he had to say. “How dare you look me in t

After realizing the truth, Bruce started contemplating how to get out of the mess he had put himself into.If only he had listened to David, who had tried multiple times to warn him, none of this would have happened. His stubbornness and ego had unsurprisingly turned out to be a great detriment. “S-so what my grandson said about you is true and you are…” Bruce said and Jeremiah’s cold gaze sent chills down his spine which was all the answer he needed. “What have I done?” Bruce mumbled and started trembling. All the years Bruce had spent trying to stay on Reginald’s good side could come crashing down because of what he had done, and if that happened, he would have no one to blame but himself.Seeing how much trouble his grandfather was in, David, who didn’t want to anger Jeremiah more still felt the need to help but how can he go about doing that?This was truly a tough situation. “Cousin, can you just let this go just this once? Grandpa made a mistake and—“ David said but quickly

“You knew what I was about to do to your grandfather, so you came in under the guise of a lovable cousin to save him, doing everything you could to get me out of there. Am I wrong or right?” Jeremiah asked, and Jessica’s eyes widened.“After observing you for some time I could tell what you were really doing,” Jeremiah said.After a couple of seconds of silence, Jessica’s expression changed to one of awe.“No wonder uncle decided it was better for you to be the future king instead of my dumb older brother. But, if you knew what I was doing then why did you agree to go ahead with it and leave with me?” She said Jeremiah smirked.“You’re not the only one who thinks they’d like the other. I also had a feeling that we would get along so I wanted to let you have your way and after all that acting, I thought you deserved it” Jeremiah said and Jessica’s eyes blinked multiple times.“Besides, I didn’t really want to do anything to someone that old so in a way I too am grateful you did what y
