The sound of the arrow racing in the air was loud in the suddenly quiet hall, it sounded almost through prolonged.Every eyes remained wide and ears remained open, a needle clattered on the floor somewhere and everyone present heard it. Even when everyone agreed that he had lost the round, they were enraptured by what the result of the action could be.It seemed so slow and hit so fast at the same time but when it finally landed on the target, everyone's eyes opened wide in shock and the speechlessness was jointly agreed on.It had hit the bull’s eye on each target!Ashton continued to stare at the man in front of him with mouth agape, he couldn’t fathom how he was able to achieve it, there was just no way it was possible. He would even argue it but the evidence laid right in front of his eyes.“Ashton, guns,” he asked and Aston quickly brought it to him, he only obeyed because he recognized it as a command, his brain was still stunned.Elaris turned and loaded the gun before he shot

Tarex Cald who had been standing to the side stared at Elaris with hatred, his face was tight and he heart pounded heavily with the immense level of hatred he felt for the guy.His spot had been secured, he was supposed to continue the tradition of making the Cald family get the top position at the entrance examination into the academy—it had been like that for years and it should always be like that.But suddenly, the clown came out of nowhere and decided that the next thing he wanted to do was snatch his top score from him. How dare he do that?The spotlight was important to him and he had always spent ten of the nine days studying, practicing and pushing himself to the very extent, but still, it wasn’t as important as the impression he wanted to secure in Lord Rades’ face.His father got the golden chance of finally inviting Lord Rades into Astrad and had spent a lot of time telling him how much he wanted Tarex to make him proud. Now, not only had Elaris forced him to lose face in

“We have found the culprit!” An exclamation from one of the maids just entering the room broke the suffocating silence in the room and every one turned to look at the maid in surprise.It was Phina’s head maid who was always by her side and in charge of assigning duties to every maid that worked in the mansion.There were two guards behind her, dragging another maid into the place they were.“What do you mean that you found the culprit?” Dax immediately asked, relieved to be able to pin the blame on someone else. It was obvious that the matter would only continue to get worse the more Elaris probe to investigate.He was sure that the verdict he expected to be given to be the culprit was not a simple threat—after his victory at the arena, he had known not to underestimate him.It would be no surprise if Elaris was already aware that it was him and his mother that orchestrated the plan to blind him.“We found her in the kitchen, putting some kind of medicine in the food that was suppose

“My Lord, Lord Rades is here,” A guard informed Lord Cald who was sitting in his study and going through some files. Lord Cald raised his head and raised a brow at him.Tarex had told him that Lord Rades had gone to scout Elaris Blackwell instead after the young man managed to get the first place and the first supreme level ever in Astrad’s Academy Examination.When he didn’t see any trace of the man the day before, he had assumed that Lord Rades had overlooked him because he was merely a city Lord in Astrad and went for the son of General Blackwell instead.“Direct him to the study,” he ordered the guard who nodded and went out of the place to invite Lord Rades in.It wasn’t long before Lord Rades entered and Lord Cald greeted him with smiles and directed him to the chair.“I hope you are not annoyed that I am only coming here today,” Lord Rades asked and Lord Cald laughed as he shook his head.“Do I dare to be mad at you? That’s not right at all,” Lord Cald replied and they both lau

Astrad City.The Sixth city down the pyramid which was governed by three city lords and had no close relationship with any other city in particular.The only relationships that existed were personal relationships that existed between a city lord and another city lord of another city. The city was so fearful of getting involved in any way that they maintained it that way for many years.It is otherwise known as the Official’s City.If a city lord of another city which was greater than Astrad wanted to have a good official that would be loyal to them, it would be better to come and pick them from Astrad city and catch them young because without doubt, Astrad city provides better officials than from every other place.Not that other cities didn’t have promising students that could be officials but it was simply because all the youngsters from the city ever learned since they were young, there was no organization causing distraction in Astrad, the academy was the main goal. Even the celeb
