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
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 72: WE'LL HELP
The school stadium was filled with students, eagerly waiting for the first match of the season to begin. Everyone roared in excitement, chanting happily for the team they supported. Back in the boys' locker room, everyone was frantically getting ready for the big game."Our first match," Leo said, putting on his gear."I'm a little anxious," Jason admitted."You should be. The whole school is watching," Chris added.Only then did they notice he had been standing there the entire time."Wow, great pep talk," Leo remarked, sarcasm evident in his tone."Relax... I've seen you two play. You're both exceptional at it," Chris said with a bright smile on his face.Leo and Jason looked at each other and shrugged proudly."We're practically gifted," Jason said."It's all in the wrist, you know," Leo said, clearly talking about his excellent throwing skills.Chris shook his head and scoffed, his smile still evident."Gather round, team..." he exclaimed, catching the attention of everyone in the
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 73: YOU CAN SEE IT?
Anaya walked into her room, looking at the symbols pasted all over her walls. One last time, she contemplated deeply within herself whether to put her research on hold. She glanced at the mirror beside her and gasped at the sight. Her hair was remarkably out of place, and there was only one word that could describe the dark circles under her eyes and, that word was hideous. She took a deep sigh and calmed her nerves."I need sleep," she said, her resolve unwavering. She started taking down all the drawings one by one, not leaving a single one up on the wall. She carefully organized them and opened her drawer. Looking at the notes in her hand, she shook her head again and closed the drawer. Getting rid of them temporarily wouldn't work; she would only go back to them. She needed to dispose of this permanently.Sitting on her bed with the notes in her hand, she snapped her fingers, causing a fire to start in the palm of her hand. Gently raising her left arm, she placed the pages slowly
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 74: WHERE'S ANAYA
Jason took out the notes he had made on the symbols, with Anaya’s guidance, of course. After placing them on the study table in the library, they gave each other meaningful glances before Jason said, “Alright… let’s get to work.” They took their time, looking for and collecting every book on languages they could find. Before long, their table was filled with all sorts of textbooks from linguistics professors all over Ivandale. Once it looked like they had enough books, they quickly got into studying, trying to find anything that was even remotely similar to the sketches Jason had made. Luckily, they didn’t have any other classes after first period, so they were free to study until break was over.Leo cried inwardly after opening his seventh book—he still hadn’t seen anything and was beginning to lose the resolve he had to find this language when they first started. He stood on his feet to get more books and gasped when he heard a noise. “I’ve searched every language book on this table
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 75: RUMORS ARE TRUE?
The boys made their way into the school library and carried whatever books they had left out in their research. Luckily for them, Varrick had taken pity on them and asked Alex to offer them a carriage; otherwise, carrying all those books back to the castle would have been a huge hassle. They freshened up, took off their uniforms, and quickly got back to work. They had spent hours researching and had completely lost track of time. The room slowly began to dim, and the only reason they got up from their seats was because they had to find and light a candle. Sydney came in after a while with a set of teacups, a teapot, and a plate filled with cookies and biscuits. "Tea?" she asked, raising her tray slightly with a bright smile on her face. "Yes, please," they chorused, their faces drooping from exhaustion. Sydney happily set some of the books aside, making room to place the tray on the table. Picking up some of Jason's notes, she thought deeply for a second before her brows furrowed.
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 76: THE REAL FUN WILL BEGIN
Anaya kept increasing her pace with each step, not bothering to spare the young lad who struggled to keep up with her. Unable to take it anymore, he quickly overtook her. "Have you been avoiding me?" Chris asked, staring at her with furrowed brows after finally catching his breath. Anaya simply glared at him, arms folded. "And why would I do something like that?" she replied plainly. Chris blinked twice at her question, clearly lost for words. "I don’t know. You tell me," he stuttered, slowly folding his arms as well. Anaya rolled her eyes. "You’re not someone I find worth avoiding," she said with a sarcastic smile. As she opened the door in front of her, she added, "I hope that answers all your questions." "You don’t—" "Girls' bathroom," Anaya interrupted, pointing at the black lady symbol above the door. She casually shrugged and closed the door behind her. Chris hung his head low and chuckled heartily. "Well played, Princess." Hearing his words from the other side of the do

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
