Dead Soul Exorcist 33 | The Lurking Darkness
On the grounds of Nyxshade's abandoned family manor, Will dismounted from his carriage. He jerked the toe of his boot on the gravel road for a moment, feeling the texture was slightly different. That meant there had been a recent battle between Grand Duke Silverlake and the palace knights who attacked him.Three knights wielding magic swords and magic arrows also dismounted from their horses and stood behind Will. "Master Will, we will inspect the manor first before you enter it," said one of the knights in a firm tone that Will could not argue with. After all, it was Will's father, the Duke of Zephyr, they were obeying.Will simply nodded. While his family's knight stormed into the empty manor, Will leaned against the body of his carriage. He looked up at the overcast sky as he played with the air around his wave-colored hair. He suddenly remembered how Dravon had banged on his bedroom door a few days ago. At that time, all Will could think about was how he could pull himself togethe
Dead Soul Exorcist 34 | Shadows at the Dance Party
"Arlo, did you understand what I said earlier?"Kieran who was fixing his bow tie grinned at Arlo's frown. The boy was lying on the single-bed, looking dissatisfied with the snacks and magazines he had."Arlo!" Serena called out to the boy in exasperation. Kieran noticed that a pinch of her hair had escaped from its neat bun, so that it fell softly over the latte-colored off-shoulder dress she was wearing, right in the hollow of her shoulder."Oh my! Fine! I'll stay in the room while you and Kieran go to the ball!" Arlo blurted out with a huff. The boy now looked genuinely hurt. "I'll stay in, trying to eat these chips until I'm bored to death.""You have children's magazines, Arlo!" Serena retorted fiercely."And it was printed in Valorthorn!" Arlo exclaimed angrily. "Printed in Valorthorn and in black and white too!""Then what do you really want?!" Serena caught her breath with difficulty. Kieran who had just finished putting on his shoes also sat facing Arlo. The little boy bit hi
Dead Soul Exorcist 35 | Something Crazy
Tonight, Vikrant realized the night sky was as dark as raven feathers. In the distance, lightning crackled, casting a beautiful streak of white across the canvas of the sky. Vikrant smiled at the pile of documents and proposals awaiting his approval, his tongue craving the taste of rich wine on his palate.Vikrant snapped his fingers, and a loyal servant emerged from the door behind his desk. "Do you need something, Your Highness?""I want to know what that boy is up to," he said. His throat growing thirstier, Vikrant was eager to finish his daily tasks and retire to his study for relaxation."Prince Dravon is attending a ball he organized himself, Your Highness," the servant replied calmly."A ball?" Vikrant blinked cynically. "What sort of ball is not planned for weeks and doesn't seek my approval beforehand?""This ball is fully endorsed by the King, Your Highness," the servant explained. "To welcome the arrival of Earl Swiftwind's daughter from the land of Varidianth."Vikrant fur
Dead Soul Exorcist 36 | Misunderstanding
Ten minutes earlier."So..." Kieran awkwardly stepped back as an unfamiliar noblewoman approached him out of the blue. She was wearing a sunset-colored gown with a silk shawl trailing from her shoulders to the floor. A dress that Kieran thought was entirely unsuitable for a royal dance party. "Are you from the kingdom of Varidianth?"Kieran winced. "I was raised in Valorus," he replied with a weighted tone. Kieran took a sip of champagne to ease his nerves. Just a second ago, Kieran remembered seeing Serena and Dravon dancing in the middle of the ballroom. But the next moment, he found the two of them ascending the grand staircase, and Kieran couldn't guess where Dravon was taking Serena with him. "I suppose I'll go look for my fiancée, then."Kieran placed his still full champagne glass on the table, but the noble girl had already hugged his arms, causing Kieran to accidentally push his champagne glass until it toppled over and spilled onto the table."Excuse me, Lady," Kieran attemp
Dead Soul Exorcist 37 | Spoiled Princess's Whim
On the royal Varidianth private jet, William Zephyr sat alone in his seat, playing magnetic chess to clear his mind. Behind him, he could hear his three knights cheerfully arguing about how to operate the small television screen that could display many latest movies, according to the taste of the Varidianth royal crown princess. But Will instead reminisced about his first encounter with Dravon.At that moment, the night was exceptionally bright in the city of Valorus. William Zephyr was waiting for his father to speak with the king. He waited in the palace corridor, seated in front of a table adorned with a beautiful set of ceramic chessboard. It was the distinctive Varidianth chessboard, playable by three people simultaneously. Of course, William did not yet know the origin of the chessboard at that time, but when someone sat across from him, dressed in the formal attire reserved for royal family members, he immediately recognized the owner of the chessboard."You must be William Zep
Dead Soul Exorcist 38 | Message in the Dagger
"Just want you know, I'm doing this for Arlo," Kieran said, turning his face towards the car window so Serena couldn't see his expression. "And so I can get back to Rainvale City sooner. Lunabelle must be worried sick waiting for me."Serena pressed the gas pedal harder, unconsciously gripping the steering wheel tightly. "I already apologized, didn't I? Stop being so passive-aggressive! From now on, I won't bring up Lunabelle anymore, and you shouldn't meddle in my affairs either."As soon as those last words escaped her lips, Serena bit her lip. It hurt to receive such cold treatment from Kieran. And she felt hurt herself just by saying hurtful words to him.Kieran remained silent. However, as the car exited the forest area and descended onto smoother roads, he said, "I'm not interested in meddling in your affairs either, Serena. But I won't forgive you if the petty on-off love story between you and Dravon causes trouble for all of us."Serena shifted gears and pressed the gas pedal e
Dead Soul Exorcist 39 | The Neglected Intuition
In the slowly moving cabin of the ferris wheel, Kieran observed Arlo, who was asleep on Serena's shoulder. Behind the two of them, the skyline had changed colors to orange, red, and purple. Around them, only the creak of the cabin's suspension and Arlo's steady breath could be heard.Kieran sighed and turned his face to the side, watching the visitors leaving and arriving at the amusement park gates. "Arlo and I saw Dravon at the amusement park today. I guess he came to see you?" Kieran asked softly.Serena's fingers fidgeted on her lap. She also turned to look out the ferris wheel cabin window, observing the frozen lake behind the ferris wheel. Some people were ice skating there, some still learning, and others gracefully dancing."There's a letter inside the Zyronox dagger we bought at the Umbravale market," Serena murmured. "Your name is written in it."Kieran turned and looked at Serena. "Can I see the letter?"Serena nodded. She promptly pulled out a sheet of paper from her pocke
Dead Soul Exorcist 40 | Bulletproof Vests
A few hours earlier."Hurry up, Lana, no one walks slowly in this city." Lana barely caught Grand Duke Elios's words as they both briskly navigated through the crowd at Remirer City's main airport.For some reason, Lana struggled to adapt to this city. Everything seemed different. From the towering buildings she had never seen before, to the entirely unfamiliar interiors and objects, to airport visitors dressed casually with just a single piece of fabric! Lana couldn't imagine a respectable woman not wearing at least ten layers of fabric for her dress. As a servant, she wore a dress with three layers of fabric! And the most challenging part was adapting to everyone's speed, which was so hurried as if chased by Cerberus."Lana!" Grand Duke Elios turned around so suddenly that Lana accidentally bumped into his body. She quickly stepped back and looked up at her master's son. But Grand Duke Elios instead gazed at her from head to toe. "What makes you walk so slowly? You're not even carry
