Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 64: FUN
Anaya rushed off quickly, being upset and annoyed by Sylvia. She couldn’t quite fathom why but Sylvia made her feel uncomfortable in a way. Anaya was not one to dismiss her instincts, and this time it was no different to her. Grasping the book close to her heart she entered the school library as fast as she could.This library was an impressive sight, as there were thousands of books in there stacked to the ceiling. One shelf after other was filled with volumes of all manner of books. That was the type of place where the reader could fade away for days without a sense of time. Nonetheless, Anaya could not afford time to appreciate such masterpiece. This mysterious book that she held in her hands captured her attention and she could not afford to look away from it even for a second.She located a secluded area, one which was dimly lit, took a chair, and put the book on the table. “It is always better here,” she whispered quietly following the rule against making a noise in the library.
Leo The Dragon Heir Chapter 65: THE INSPECTOR
Anaya led them, alongside Derek and Sylvia to the roof on the other side of the school with a few boards she had conjured from random items she had found around. They had managed to grab some protective gear before starting their journey. Though they didn’t know why they needed it at first, the realization hit as they stared at the dizzying height.Derek leaned forward at the edge of the roof and dropped a small pebble he had kept in his pocket. He gulped as the pebble fell silently, not even making a sound when it hit the ground below."You’re kidding," Derek said, looking visibly panicked."Do I look like I’m joking?" Anaya replied, her gaze steady and serious."Not at all, Anaya," Derek quickly responded, swallowing the rest of his words.Anaya smiled faintly, placed a helmet on his head, and gave the top a light double tap.Leo and Jason exchanged meaningful glances and took two cautious steps backwards."I think we’ve had enough flying for one day," Jason said, his voice uneasy.
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 66: CONQUER
"Did you find out anything new about those kids?""Not at all, Miss Pemberly," Mr. D said, his head lowered in shame as he acknowledged his lack of efficiency in handling such a simple task."Well, how could you, when you're sleeping on the job?" the woman exclaimed, clearly running out of patience."I honestly don’t know how it happened," the dean admitted, still confused and surprised by his tendency to fall asleep."Save it. You’re just a waste of my time. What you couldn’t do in ten days, I accomplished in ten minutes," she said, lifting her chin proudly."What were you able to find out?" he asked eagerly, with heightened curiosity."They all look quite capable. The prince is very intelligent, and his wit is impeccable," the woman remarked thoughtfully, her eyes briefly scanning Jason's desk.Glancing at Anaya's seat, she continued, "Anaya is powerful and always aware of her surroundings. Her guard was never down, not even for a second. She was the only one who looked me in the ey
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 67: PRINCESS?
Half the day had already passed, yet Leo still seemed completely out of it. It was like he wasn’t even there."He has the dragon flame." How did she know that? How could she tell? Is she the one who knows my secret?They were already seated at their favorite spot in the cafeteria. Jason and Anaya had started analyzing the book and her notes, taking up half their lunch break. Anaya would carefully describe what she saw, and Jason would try his best to draw the symbols. However, he could never quite get them right—there was always a misplaced stroke or an odd line. Whenever Anaya attempted to draw the symbols herself, they were invisible to everyone else.They bantered back and forth for a while before finally turning their attention to Leo for his thoughts. Unfortunately, he wasn’t paying attention."Earth to Leo!" Anaya exclaimed, snapping her fingers in front of his face."Huh?" Leo blinked, finally noticing their stares. "I’m sorry...""Don’t worry about it," Jason said with a small
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 68: SPIDERS
"Princess?" Anaya said after a long moment of silence. "I didn't think you'd be careless enough to follow me here..." She glanced behind him and smirked before saying, "Alone.""I have clearly grown to underestimate your capabilities," the man said, letting out a small chuckle."Big mistake," Anaya said, her voice low, her eyes indicating that she was not here for jokes."I came to tell you the recent state of our home. Your father wrote to you, actually. Many, many times on our most recent affairs. Didn't you get his letters?"Anaya let out a scoff, took Chris by the arm once more, and walked past the man."He would really like to meet with you, princess. It's a matter of great importance," the man said almost impatiently."I don't want to see him," Anaya replied in the same tone.The man ignored her words and finally made eye contact with the boy behind her. He looked back at Anaya, a sly smile dancing on his lips as he said, "I see you found a friend."Chris, taking it as his cue t
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 69: BLACKMAIL
The stadium was vast, with bright green grass spread across the field like a soft carpet. Leo and Jason sped past their opponents, the ball firmly secured under Leo's left arm. The Swift dodged all obstacles in their way. With skillful moves and strategic planning, they were able to score another point for the practice team they were on. Cheers erupted from their teammates and some of the students who simply enjoyed watching them practice before a big game. Chris Andrews wasn't around today, and today's training was overseen by his subordinate. He applauded Leo and Jason's skills and quickly went to tell the other practice team how they had aced it and where they may have encountered some slip-ups.Leo and Jason walked over to the next trainees, giving them their brooms. "Good game," one of them said on their way to the field."Thanks..." Leo replied, making his way to the bleachers."That was fun," Leo said."Yeah..." Jason agreed, but his frown only deepened. "But I really don't thi
Leo The Dragon Heir Chapter 70: TRAINING DAY
Varrick woke them up abruptly and told them to hurriedly set up the battleground for their training. They groaned, slightly annoyed, once they realized it was Saturday. Most people would have been excited on a weekend, but then again, Leo and Jason were never "most people." They dragged their feet and put on their fighting attire before arranging the arena, setting up their training gear, and sharpening their knives and swords.They started with a brief exercise while Sydney set up some water, fruits, and healthy drinks to help with their morning. Alex, Darwin, and Varrick assisted her, and they began sword training after everything was set up. Darwin decided to spar with Jason first since Leo had started last week. They immediately pulled out their swords, and the battle began. Their swords clashed with great impact. Every swipe of a blade was made with immense precision. Jason had always been calculated, even with a sword—always knowing when to strike, when to defend, and how his ne
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 71: PLEASE....
Anaya sat down in the living room filled with antiques and precious items. She scanned the room with her head laid back on the sofa. Her grandmother had just walked in moments earlier with her first aid box, as she always did after Anaya's Saturday training. She scanned her carefully to check if she had any new injuries, even though Anaya had told her multiple times that she was perfectly fine. Anaya wasted no time in showing her grandmother the cut. Her grandmother saw the poorly placed bandage on the cut and shook her head, all while wondering why Anaya never took the time to care for herself. She carefully applied an antiseptic she had made in her cauldron pot three days prior and cleanly wrapped the wound."Laila had cuts like this all the time, and she would never take her time to care for them..." Her grandmother muttered angrily. Anaya just smiled at her words and the care she showed, even when it was just a little cut."What will happen when I'm no longer here to take care of

CHAPTER 90: ONE OF THEM
They finally reached the open window but couldn't go in just yet. The principal was still in the room, and he looked livid. "Alright, Lady Sylvia, since you want to be difficult, let's see how smug you get when you're face-to-face with Miss Renee." Sylvia's face drained completely of color once the principal said those words. He grumbled a few more words and walked out in a huff. The sound of the door slamming made Sylvia jerk in fear. She looked incredibly pale, and her lips were cracked and had already started to bleed. Anaya's eyes softened slightly when she saw her, but looking at her palm again, she knew that she needed answers, and the sooner she got them, the better. They waited a few minutes before climbing in through the window. "Hello, Sylvia. How are you feeling?" Anaya asked, her attitude a little nonchalant. Sylvia quickly sat up, her body tensing and her eyes widening as she stammered, "What are you doing here? You can't be in here!" "Why? Something to hide, Sylvi
CHAPTER 89: LEAVE
"The principal went to see her. They probably think she's the one who did that to the field," Leo muttered, constantly pacing right outside the principal's office. Jason and Anaya gave each other meaningful glances, visibly trying to piece everything together. After Sylvia had fainted in front of them, they quickly rushed her to the school nurse. The school principal had gone in moments later, sweating profusely, with his eyes widened in shock. "Well, isn’t she?" Anaya asked sternly. "Of course not," Leo snapped, he never wasted any time when it came to defending Sylvia. Anaya swept her hands through her hair, her annoyance growing by the minute as she spoke. "My goodness, open your eyes, Leo. The evidence is overwhelming. Sylvia hasn’t been in school in days. I didn’t even see her at the gathering—did you?" she said, pointing at Jason. Jason tilted his head thoughtfully before slowly shaking his head. "Exactly. And then, the minute she shows up, she’s bruised and battered at
CHAPTER 88: A MESSAGE
The club festivities faded and the real party began in the school. They made their way into the school auditorium and noticed all that had been laid out. Music, amazing snacks, even a huge disco ball—the very best Scarlet Magic High School had to offer, and yet somehow someone didn't seem to like it. "This party is lame," Sebastian sighed, swirling his drink with a straw. "Not as lame as the ones royals throw," Leo remarked. Sebastian's eyes widened, his shock noticeable in his expression. He quickly turned to Jason, looking for some kind of validation. Royal gatherings had always been the talk of the kingdom; people who had the luxury of being in attendance just couldn't stop talking about it. Jason noticed Sebastian's gaze and slowly replied, "You'd be surprised." "That can't be true. Have you been to one, Anaya?" Sebastian asked, hoping she'd give him the answer he had been believing all his life. However, Anaya hadn't said a word for a long time. "Anaya? W..." Sebastia
CHAPTER 87: YOU SLY CREATURE
They turned heads everywhere they went, although the boys were almost certain that was Anaya's doing. The field was filled with various activities: chess, Pegasus riding, flame throwing, and much, much more. "So basically, all we need to do is choose a club," Jason said. "Mhmm, then the after party," Sebastian added excitedly. "Crazy..." Leo murmured when a centaur casually sashayed right by him. "Come on, let's check that out," Anaya said eagerly, dragging them toward the archery section. The person in charge of the spot had just released his bow, landing his arrow in a perfect bullseye. He turned to them, flashing his pearly white teeth, and said, "Impressive, isn't it?" Anaya scoffed at his words and rolled her eyes. "Anaya," Chris greeted with a deep grin. "Chris," Anaya replied flatly. "Leo, Jason, and Sebastian. Glad we're all caught up," Leo joked. Anaya rolled her eyes and smiled before turning to Sebastian. "This looks fun. Do you want to give it a shot?"
CHAPTER 86: LEPRECHAUNS DON'T DRESS LIKE THAT
Anaya assured Sebastian that they would definitely be in attendance, shocking both Leo and Jason. After hearing her assurance, Sebastian left for his classes, skipping happily. Jason looked at the flyer carefully and stared at Anaya with a raised brow. "You want to join a club?" Jason asked, passing the flyer to Leo. "Of course not," Anaya replied rather quickly. "Then why do you want us to go, especially when we have so much to d—" Anaya placed her index finger on Leo's lips and interjected, "Shh... enough with the book talk. I'm starting to think you both like this more than I do. Come to school tomorrow in your finest costumes, and don't even think of blowing me off." "Should we dress to match? Like one of us will be bread, one will be peanut butter, and the other will be jam?" Jason said excitedly, beginning to like the idea. "Hold on—who's the jam?" Anaya asked, her eyes widening in expectation. "And who's the bread?" Leo added, wrinkling his nose. He never seemed
CHAPTER 85: A DISTRACTION...
Anaya walked over to them after her long conversation with one of the classmates. This was the longest she had spoken to anyone other than Jason and Leo since she stepped foot into the school. She was still laughing heartily as she said, "You guys are not going to believe what happened to Mr. Fickletie Berry..." Her laughter slowly faded once she saw how drained they looked. "What happened to you two?" she asked, worry etched on her face. However, she received no reply, only aggrieved sighs. Anaya's frown deepened as she felt she was being given the silent treatment. "Look, are you guys still upset about the prank thing? I said I was sorry." "No, we're not upset, honest," Jason assured, waving his hands frantically. Anaya slowly nodded and replied, "Okay, good... But then, why do you both look like you're about to jump me?" Leo chuckled slightly at her comment, and Jason responded, without a sigh, "My dad made us scrub the ballroom floor when he found out that we were not in
CHAPTER 84: TRUST...
"Where have you two been?" Sydney asked again. The boys looked at each other in panic, both wondering if one of them had a reasonable and, most importantly, a believable answer. "Uhh..." they hummed simultaneously, a distressed smile forming on their faces. Sydney suddenly walked toward them abruptly. They closed their eyes, mentally preparing for a huge scolding, but instead, they felt the warmth of her arms wrap around them tightly. A sigh escaped her lips before she exhaled in one breath, "Do you know how worried we were? Alex had to send the guards out to look for you." "Look for us?" Leo asked, a little astonished. "Of course! And he didn't even send ordinary guards..." Sydney paused and looked around. The boys raised a brow at her odd movements but didn't think much of it. She leaned closer to them and whispered, "He sent the Red Claws." "What?!" Jason exclaimed in a similar hushed tone. "Who are the Red Claws?" Leo inquired, almost cluelessly. "I'll tell you later," Jason
CHAPTER 83: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
"I’m so confused," Jason said immediately. "Why is the woman who gave us our uniforms here?" Leo asked, his words also laced with confusion. "Because she knows us," Anaya replied vaguely. "Of course she knows us; she gave us our uniforms," Leo said indifferently. Anaya let out a sigh and, after a moment of silence, said, "Okay, I guess we’re starting from the very beginning. Miss Tremont had been sneaking around us an awful lot; it was hard not to notice. So every time I would see her lurking, I’d follow her to see what she was up to. One day, I found her going into a secret room. Curiosity got the better of me, so I followed her—" "Are you serious?" Leo interrupted immediately, worry etched on their faces. "You could have been attacked or worse—" "Will you boys just let me finish?" Anaya snapped abruptly, cutting them off. The room fell silent once more, and Anaya took a deep breath, dusted the hem of her shirt, and continued. "Thank you... As I was saying, when I came in, I wa
CHAPTER 82: I KNOW WHAT I SAW
Jason furrowed his brows and remembered that this was the same place Anaya kept disappearing to. "You do know that we could be walking into a trap, right?" Jason said, taking a deep breath. With the number of enemies they were accumulating, it wasn’t far-fetched to think that the letter might not have been written by Anaya. Leo scoffed, rummaging through his bag. "That's why I brought our wands, genius," he said, waving the wands in front of Jason’s face. Jason shook his head at his childish behavior, not wanting to remind his friend that they barely knew how to use them. He looked at the locker and tapped it softly three times, exactly. They waited for a while, but nothing happened. Jason decided to try again, but it was the same result. "You’re not doing it right," Leo said plainly, causing Jason’s brow to furrow in annoyance. "What do you mean? That’s three solid taps right there!" Jason responded immediately. "You’re supposed to do it slowly." "I did!" Jason replied, his ag
