Dead Soul Exorcist 24 | A Clean Slate
Kieran woke up to the sound of the car door being opened and closed. He opened his eyes, observing the illuminated garage door by the car's light. A house cat with a collar equipped with a tracker suddenly leaped onto the car hood, licking one of his front paws. Groggily, he glanced to the back seat to find Lunabelle, who had just awakened as well. It was then that the sound of the trunk being opened reached his ears, and Kieran saw Julian pulling out his large and heavy suitcase."Wait, I can handle it myself," Kieran said, unfastening his seatbelt. Hurriedly, he exited the car, but Julian had already lifted the suitcase onto the porch of the house."Welcome to my home," Julian said after placing the suitcase in front of the door. He blew his bangs and then took out the garage keys from his pocket. For a moment, Kieran observed Julian's house and the surrounding yard—a cozy two-story home with neatly trimmed grass. Many other houses dotted the neighborhood, creating a serene atmosphe
Dead Soul Exorcist 25 | Broken Trust
Unlike Princess Silvanna Silverlake's funeral, Princess Crown Emmeline Purplesong's funeral was held officially and extravagantly in the royal family's private cemetery, right on a plot of land slightly on the edge. The funeral was now bustling with the arrangement of formal ceremonies attended by several dignitaries from neighboring countries (excluding the Varidianth kingdom, which refused to attend), all the nobility in the Valorthorn kingdom, and media from various nations with their noisy cameras occasionally flashing dazzling lights.Dravon sat among the three thrones provided for the Nightcrown family, right beside the king. On the other side of the king, a vacant seat remained as Prince Vikrant was reportedly too grief-stricken over his fiancée's death. However, Dravon was willing to bet the man was merely sipping wine in the palace study, then complaining about a drop staining his white shirt.In the front row of mourners, Dravon observed William Zephyr sitting with his paren
Dead Soul Exorcist 26 | Echoes of the Departed
"Will, can we talk?"After that self-deprecating sentence escaped his lips, Dravon closed his eyes. He moved away from Will's room door and leaned his back against the wall. Unconsciously, his soaked clothes from the rain had already dampened the thick carpet on the wall. "Your Highness..." A maid approached him with a concerned expression. Dravon glanced at the young girl and realized she held a neatly folded white towel in her hands. Wearily, Dravon accepted the towel immediately, though he didn't use it right away."Thank you," Dravon said to the young maid. She still stood patiently in the corridor of Duke Zephyr's manor, and it seemed the maid had no intention of leaving due to Dravon's stubborn attitude."Your Highness," the maid touched Dravon's wet shoulder. "Please understand that Master Will is grieving. He doesn't wish to see anyone today, including us servants.""If you're dismissing me, I don't care," Dravon replied heartlessly. He closed his weary eyes. "I want to witne
Dead Soul Exorcist 27 | Trip and Slip
"So, you're going to leave me for two days?" Lunabelle's surprised and gloomy voice made Kieran feel guilty. The little girl was standing on the floor in a comfortable red cotton dress that Mrs. Snowblur had bought for her when they went downtown yesterday. She held a Braille book with a cover depicting a snow princess and seven dwarfs. Imagining leaving Lunabelle with Mrs. Snowblur wasn't a bad thing, as the kind woman knew how to take care of a young child. However, Kieran still felt irresponsible.Suddenly, a knock sounded on their already open bedroom door. Kieran turned to find Mrs. Snowblur standing at the doorway."It's okay, Lunabelle," Mrs. Snowblur reassured. She walked into the room and gently picked up Lunabelle. "While Kieran is off saving the world, you and I can harvest strawberries in the garden. How does that sound? Good?"Lunabelle now looked like she wanted to cry but held back because she was with Mrs. Snowblur. "I don't want Kieran to go save the world," she whined
Dead Soul Exorcist 28 | Long Way Home
With his eyes closed, Kieran could feel the police flashlight directed at his face. However, he just slowed his breathing and continued pretending to be asleep with his arm leaning against the car door."That's Jules," Serena said wearily. "Julian Snowblur, remember? You once caught us when we went to Umbravale."For a moment, the police officer nodded, somewhat puzzled. "I didn't know he'd grow up this skinny," he said sympathetically. "Parents' divorce really changes everything. I'm lucky I never got married."Serena grinned and chuckled softly. "The right decision, Sir. We need less drama in our lives," she said confidently."Well then, have a safe trip, kids.""Thank you, sir." After that, the car drove on without any hindrance, and Serena sighed in relief. "Luckily, I could use Jules' name earlier," she muttered softly. "My dad could scold me to death if he heard I was fooling around with a fugitive, right?""Really?" Kieran grinned wryly. "Are you sure he won't kill me first bef
Dead Soul Exorcist 29 | Discordant
"Is that you, Kieran?" Serena repeated her question. The strong wind tousled her soft, black hair.For a moment, Kieran couldn't find words. He returned Serena's gaze, looking at her for quite some time. Then, he glanced down at his heavy shopping basket. Somehow, he didn't want Serena to know about him. He just didn't want the girl to know him too well. Because after the issues in Rainvale, if Kieran was fortunate enough to survive the impending attack, he might have to travel to another place. Keep traveling until his steps led him back to Umbravale as the savior. He was just a small particle in Serena Swiftwind's life."Oh, goodness," Serena sighed in frustration. The girl stood with her hands on her hips, annoyed. "I know you're a shy guy, but you have to tell the people of Umbravale who you really are! I feel sorry for those who keep hoping for the Nyxshade descendant to come and save them. We don't even know where that child is, right?"Kieran blinked. Serena misunderstood. "Ser
Dead Soul Exorcist 30 | Lighthearted Letter
As Serena's sea-colored eyes stared at him, Kieran could feel sadness and disappointment mingling there. He swallowed. "It's okay, right?" he asked softly.Serena placed her car keys down and drew her knees to her chest. "I don't have any problem if you come along," Serena said. "But the problem lies with you. You said you're a fugitive, right? They could catch you."Kieran had been thinking about it since he left Valorthorn. Making him swear not to return there anytime soon. But circumstances were different now. "It's not a problem," Kieran said. Besides, he now knew how to use the revenant's power. He could protect himself. "Besides, you're right. We need crucial information on when and how Dravon will attack. I don't even know with who he'll do it with."They locked eyes for a moment, and suddenly Kieran felt Serena was too far. Even so, they shouldn't get any closer. He quickly stood from the single bed and walked to the door. "Arlo and I have cooked. Let's have lunch together," h
Dead Soul Exorcist 31 | Dark News
Two years ago."Your academic achievements last year surpassed all the schools in the Varidianth kingdom, Kieran. I hope this year you continue to maintain your brilliant performance." After saying that, the headmaster smiled warmly and politely at Kieran, without a word of thanks or congratulations, as if it was only natural and deserved that Kieran achieved the highest rank in Varidianth. However, Kieran was already accustomed to the burden of expectations and others' confidence in him."Of course, Prof," Kieran said. He stood up and shook hands with the headmaster, then carried away a box adorned with golden velvet layers given by the Varidianth kingdom.As Kieran stepped out of the headmaster's office, he paused in the corridor, gazing out of the window. The sky was bright blue with a few clouds, and distant cheerful sounds of students playing ball or basking in the sun could be faintly heard. It was such a pleasant atmosphere. However, why did Kieran feel nothing?He bowed his he
