Dead Soul Exorcist 80 | Call of the Darkness
The sunlight streaming through the glass windows of the palace dining room formed mysterious shadowy patterns resembling a fence. Occasionally, a gentle breeze flowed in through the vents, cooling the entire room. Vikrant leisurely ate his salad and potato slices on his plate. His body felt weary after completing his and Dravon's work since last night. The cursed child had disappeared since then, and not a single servant or knight knew where he had gone. Perhaps the serving girl, who doubled as a spy, knew something, but the royal spy mentioned that the girl seemed to have some dealings with the Zephyr family. Vikrant could ask her later. People tend to be more honest at the right moment. Besides, Vikrant needed rest.Suddenly, the dining room door swung open. Despite Vikrant's instructions to the servants not to let anyone into the dining room except for him, there was, of course, one person they couldn't stop.As the king sat at the head of the table, he appeared frail and feeble.
Dead Soul Exorcist 81 | The Revenant Reunion
The rampaging Revenant wouldn't cease even if Kieran intervened. Besides, a part of him was weary of facing the fear of losing a family member someday. And another part of him hoped this would be the last, to deter Zyronox.After absorbing the power of two humans whose magic wasn't particularly strong, the Revenant remained hungry. Yet somehow, it relented on its own accord, and drifted back into slumber in the dark corner of Kieran's heart.The iron dome around Kieran slowly dissipated. With surprise, he noticed the knights were already near him. Some of them retrieved Lunabelle from the car and checked on the little girl's condition. Seraphina knelt beside Lunabelle, looking pale with fear.Meanwhile, Morana and the revenant were engaged in an argument not far from the car. No one could see them.Upon realizing the disappearance of the iron dome around Kieran, Seraphina approached him in panic. "I thought you both were dead inside the car," Seraphina said. "Until I realized that the
Dead Soul Exorcist 82 | Dinner Party
As the sky began to darken, Julian, Serena, and Kieran laid out the food they had ordered from the restaurant, arranging it on the tables. The atmosphere was filled with merriment, with Lunabelle and Arlo chatting cheerfully with Elios and Seraphina, Julian and Serena engaged in curious conversation with Lana and Rory, and Kieran deeply engrossed in a game of Varidanth chess with Morana."The rules of this chess are quite simple," remarked Kieran as he pushed a plate of steak and a large sundae glass towards Morana. "I play with the green pieces, and you play with the red ones. We'll consider the yellow pieces nonexistent. How does that sound? Or should I invite Elios to join us?""You're hopeless," Morana grumbled. "The original Varidianth chess isn't like that. The yellow pieces should be played by both players. Here's how it goes: first, the green pieces move, then the red ones, followed by the yellow ones played by you, then green again, red, and finally the yellow ones played by
Dead Soul Exorcist 83 | The Deceptive Tranquility
Six years later.The Central Palace of Valorthorn gleamed with the radiance of magical lanterns. Standing tall amidst the towering trees, it appeared grand, majestic, and untouched. Winding along the path that traced the contours of its beautiful gardens in the courtyard, a horse-drawn carriage, pulled by two large and noble steeds, moved slowly and gracefully until it eventually halted in front of the imposing front door. Without waiting for the door to be opened, someone seated inside had already emerged. His handsome face, nearly pallid, gained a touch of color beneath the glow of the magical lanterns.The twenty-three-year-old man promptly alighted from the carriage and extended his hand to assist his fiancée. At that moment, a chief servant emerged to swing open the palace door wide, accompanied by many restless knights of Valorthorn."Princess of Varidianth has arrived!" shouted one of the knights, loud enough for everyone to hear. "Alongside her betrothed, the Duke of Umbravale
Dead Soul Exorcist 84 | The Old Grudge
The Guest Chamber prepared by Prince Vikrant felt warm and comfortable, despite lacking any windows. Much like most rooms in the central palace of Valorthorn, which indeed eschewed the presence of windows in its architectural design. Perhaps as a form of defense to prevent intruders from entering through the windows.Kieran lay comfortably on the bed, draped in a kimono-shaped nightshirt that absorbed his sweat and body heat to the maximum. His eyes were fixed on Seraphina, who sat at the vanity table, removing her beautiful makeup with rosewater. The royal princess appeared still upset after the meeting with Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Silverlake ten minutes ago. But every time Seraphina seemed disturbed by Elios, it only reminded Kieran that she still couldn't love him."If you don't want me to be here tonight, I understand, Sera," Kieran said as he sat up. "I'm sure you need some time alone."Seraphina placed her rosewater bottle down, her lips pressed with guilt as she looked at
Dead Soul Exorcist 85 | Story of an Ice Cream Shop
Rain pelting against the roof and windows of the hotel room once again jolted Arlo from his slumber for the eleventh time that day. The twelve-year-old boy lazily curled up in his blanket, glancing at his watch resting on the bedside table. The short hand on the clock pointed to ten."Toby, are you awake?" Arlo called out to the servant who had become very close to him. As there was no response, Arlo sat up to check on Toby, who was sound asleep in the single bed across from him. The man was still deeply asleep, hardly moving or making a sound.Arlo yawned with an annoyed expression. "This is how everyone is in Rainvale," he grumbled. "Preferring to sleep in all day."He promptly got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.Twenty minutes later, Arlo parked his car in front of an ice cream shop in the middle of town. The ice cream shop was bustling, with many young girls seen from the outside, giggling as they enjoyed their ice creams."Oh dear, just to see his handsome face, I'd happil
Dead Soul Exorcist 86 | Uninvited Guests at Midnight
As Arlo and Toby arrived at Manor Nyxshade, the day was approaching midnight. Their car purred softly like a cat as it entered the garage, before finally coming to a halt.With his body feeling a bit stiff, Arlo stepped out of the car and did some simple stretches in the courtyard. Occasionally, as he stretched his legs, Arlo glanced up at the star-filled sky, with the moon resembling a deflated football to him."It seems the full moon is just around the corner," Toby murmured softly as he passed by Arlo.Arlo nodded in agreement. "Goodnight, Toby," he said promptly. Toby only muttered something and quickly entered the Manor, leaving Arlo still wanting to savor the night air for a while longer.After feeling sufficiently stretched, Arlo closed the garage door and locked it. Then he walked into the Manor, whose front door was never locked. It was a sort of protocol at Nyxshade Manor, according to the rules set by Kieran. That all family members and their friends were free to enter the
Dead Soul Exorcist 87 | The Death of Queen Varidianth
It has been an eternity since the Queen last beheld the light of the full moon. For so long, she has lain upon her bed, cocooned in layers of drapery to ensure her warmth. Meanwhile, the towering windows of her chamber, perpetually shrouded by thick curtains either inadvertently forgotten or perhaps intentionally left ajar by her attendants. The hearthwood never left bare, always adorned with a stack of reserve logs beside it. All these efforts made by her attendants to ensure the Queen's comfort, a final endeavor, for no remedy as sophisticated as it may be could cure her ailment. Yet today, the Queen can sense a surge of energy, a breath that shall soon be her last. Thus, for the first time in what felt like an age, she parts her covers and strides towards the window.Faint, due to her dulled sense of smell, the Queen catches a mournful scent emanating from her body: the tang of ammonia, bile, antibiotics, and other odours unfamiliar to her. Nevertheless, she merely sheds her cumbe
