As soon as the meeting was over, Saint had the men dismissed and promised that they would have another meeting soon to delibrate on the issue.

He was surprised to find out that as soon as he left the study room, dusk had already befallen the clan so he began making his way into the chamber with the intention of falling asleep immediately.

Saint lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind refusing to let him rest. No matter how much he tried, Victoria's face kept appearing in his thoughts. The way she had looked at him the last time they had met, the way her voice had trembled slightly when she spoke—it all played over and over in his head. He clenched his fists, frustrated with himself. He had been through countless battles, faced enemies who wanted to tear him apart, yet it was Victoria who had the power to disrupt his peace.

It was strange because he had not had the chance to think about her amidst the chaos and the thoughts of her was suddenly clouding his memory.

    It had not been up to twenty four hours since Saint had told Gerald that Victoria had been kidnapped and he was already back with news .Saint felt hope for the first time when Gerald told him that he might have a clue on who must have kidnapped Victoria. He knew he was doing the right thing when he had involved Gerald, his only regret was that he had not told him about his marriage to Victoria any sooner. "So what did you find concerning her, do you know where she is....who kidnapped her?!" Saint asked him all at once. "Uhm, yes I did and what I found might be a bit concerning, come take a look at this!" Gerald said with an indistinguishable look in his eyes as he dropped spread out some papers in front of Saint. Saint yanked them immediately from the table and began running his eyes through them. "I really don't know who this man is, but I went out yesterday, just like you asked me and I began asking some questions. She was last found at the mall and some people who owned nearb

    Victoria’s eyes fluttered open, and for a moment, she felt as though she had woken up from a dream. The walls surrounding her were nothing like the lavish rooms of the Zlate villa. They were made of rough stone, cold and uninviting, a clear indication that she was no longer home. Her head throbbed from the struggle that had brought her here, but strangely, no one was guarding her. The door to the room where she had been left was slightly ajar, allowing a sliver of dim torchlight to seep through.She hesitated at first. It could be a trap, she thought. But as time passed and no one came to check on her, curiosity took hold. Slowly, she pushed the door open further and stepped out. The hallway stretched before her, illuminated by the glow of torches fixed onto the walls. The place seemed deserted. There was no sign of the men who had taken her, no harsh voices ordering her back inside.Was this an oversight? Did they simply not care what she did? Victoria could not tell.Her heart pound

    The wheels of the car crunched against the gravel as Saint and Gerald rode in silence. Gerald was upset that Saint had not allowed them to ride with any guard to protect them at least. Saint kept his hands firm on the steering while Gerald sat beside him, one hand resting on the edge of his seat. They had traveled these lands countless times, knew every path, every hidden turn, and every road that led to the six clans. But now, something was different.“This isn’t right,” Gerald muttered under his breath, breaking the silence between them. His eyes flickered with unease as he peered ahead. "This road looks unfamiliar." It was a path neither of them had taken before, a road that shouldn’t exist.Saint pressed down on the brakes and turned to look at Gerald. “We followed the directions exactly,” he said, his voice steady but laced with suspicion. “If Victoria is being held captive, then this is the way.”Gerald scoffed. “And if this is a trap?”Saint’s jaw clenched. He didn’t need Ger

    Saint could not hide his astonishment when he realised that there was an opening at the end of the entrance and a car with a driver in the front seat was waiting patiently for them. Gerald and Saint both exchanged puzzled glances."I think we should turn back now!" Gerald leaned toward Saint to say, "...and you're not going to make us get into that car, would you?" He added as didn't ignored the first thing he had said. "You know that I can hear you both, right?" The strange man said aloud, his voice ringing through the trees. Saint suddenly paused in his tracks. "Tell us where exactly you're taking us to. If I find out that there's a trap for me waiting ahead, I will not hesitate to rip your head from your body." Saint threatened. The man suddenly stopped walking and turned around to face both men. There was not a single trace of fear in his face. "Understood." The man said, nodding his head and continued walking, expecting the both of them to follow suit. Gerald's eyes widened

    As soon as they got into the ancient Fortress, they found the strange man already seated at the far end of the chamber. Gerald pondered how he had gotten there so quickly in just a short period of time. "You haven't answered my question yet, mister. Who gave you that tattoo on your arm?" Saint Inquired from the strange man the moment he got into the fortress. "You two should have a seat first." The strange man said to them, gesturing toward the seats in front of him. "We have not come to jolly with you!" Saint said to the man rudely. He had been patient enough with the man and he wasn't going to take it anymore. "Where is Victoria and why do you have that tattoo on your arm?" Saint asked him again. "Why are you asking me so many questions at once. Which do you want me to answer first?" The strange man asked but Saint kept mute and continued staring at him with fury in his eyes. The strange man let out a loud sigh, while the corners of his lips curled up. "Alright, I'm going to

"Tell me why you didn't mention that I had a brother when you knew that I had lost my memory!" Saint demanded, trying to keep his eyes on road as he drove. "The moment you healed me in that hospital and you took your rightful place as the leader of the dragon clan, I knew that you had regained all of your memories by some miracle." Gerald paused to catch his breath but Saint was not patient enough to wait for him pause mid sentence before speaking further. "That doesn't answer my question, Gerald. Why did you nor my uncle ever mention Drake to me?""Because we thought that you already knew. And how is it even possible that you regained all of your memories and didn't remember any of Drake's?""Well I guess I know!" Gerald answered his own question, "it was because the gods wanted it to be that way. They knew that Drake was a taboo and didn't want to

    Practically all the members of the Zlate family—including her father had stormed out of the house and were now surrounding her, inspecting her for any wounds. "I'm fine. Just a few scratches but I'm fine." Victoria let out in agony as she struggled to peel herself away from her family's hugs and kisses, refusing to be babied anymore by them. "Where had you been all this while, Victoria. You had us all worried!" Lord Zlate exclaimed as he came forward. "I was kidnapped father, obviously you all didn't know that I had been kidnapped." Victoria said in a disappointed tone. "Victoria we did all we could to find you, we contacted the police, we sent out all our guards, but all our efforts were futile." Victoria's mother said, making attempt to hug Victoria but she stepped back. "I do not want to hear all of that. If Saint had not came to my rescue, who knows what would have happened to me?" Victoria said, almost breaking down into hot tears. "SAINT?!!!" Everyone chorused at the sam

    Lord Magnus barged into Saint's room, his eyes sweeping across the room, hoping to find the scroll. His age kept him back from overturning things in the chamber and Instead, he ransacked the areas that he could. He searched the drawers, underneath the bed and even in the restroom, but he couldn't find it. "Where could it be?!" He muttered against his breath. Sweat had covered his forehead, already dripping down his face, but he made no attempt to wipe them off and Instead kept searching. After what seemed like hours of searching for the scroll, he finally looked up to see the scroll atop a table just across from him. He slapped his hands across his face in frustration. "How had I not seen that when I first walked in?" He said to himself and trotted quickly toward the table to grab the scroll. The moment he laid his hands on the scroll, he felt a strong sensation, like electricity zapping through his veins. "Don't worry, I'm not going to open you, I have no rights to." He said to

    Saint had managed to sleep the previous night but without drowning into his thoughts. He had been woken up rudely by loud knocks on his door. He didn't want to attend to the door and just wanted to pretend he didn't hear so he could resume his sleep but the knocking persisted. He grudgingly turned in his sleep and arose from the bed, rubbing his eyes to block out the sunlight. "Saint....Saint, are you awake yet. Please open up, Drake is nowhere to be found!" The voice cried out desperately. The sleep immediately vanished from Saint's eyes the moment he heard those words. "Saint, please open up the door, we have to do something about this!"Saint rushed to his feet and ran quick to do the door, wasting no time in opening the door. "Gerald, what did you just say?!" Saint let out, running his eyes all over him. Gerald who seemed to be in a dishevelled state swallowed the bile in his throat as he thought of the right words he could use to describe the situation at hand. "I woke up

    All through out the night, he was being tormented with what he had learnt. He wanted to march straight to wherever Vic was and put things to an end. The only thing that stopped him from doing that was; he did not know exactly where Vic was And he might have some trouble locating her hideout, Because if she could keep herself young and look exactly like Victoria with the help of medicine and Magic she could definitely use the same magic to conceal her location. Saint suddenly sprang up from the bed, tossing his duvet to the side as he began to pace across the floors, with his hands folded behind his back. "Damn it!" Saint cursed loudly into the cold night, the air around him taut, making it hard for him to breathe properly, "why did I ever hold back. Why did I think that my Victoria was capable of doing a thing like this. I should have killed Vic when I had the chance"If only he had known sooner. If only he had seen the truth beneath the surface. But how could he? She had looked ex

    "I've come to talk to you about the woman named Vic." Saint blurted out, pretending that he and his uncle were in good terms. "But first things first, Uncle I want to apologize about the way I treated you and Gerald....""It's okay. I understand it completely well. You acted out of your own judgments that you thought was right, so it's okay. " Lord Magnus uttered with understanding. Saint Clenched his lips and nodded his head slightly in remorse. "So what did you want to talk about?" Lord Magnus asked, quickly shifting away from that topic. About the woman named The Vic do you know any woman whose name Is weakLord Magnus raised his eyes, as though he was trying to recall where he has heard that name before. He shook his head slowly, "it doesn't ring a bell. I don't know who you are talking about.""Are you sure you don't know who Vic is?" Saint asked again but suddenly remembered that he had not told him of the recent happenings, he probably wasn't even aware that Vic was the wo

    Saint sat alone in his chamber, his head buried in his hands. The battle that Drake had had with Victoria or rather, the woman he had believed to be Victoria replayed in his mind over and over again. He could still hear her venomous laughter, see the blood trickling from Drake’s wounds, and worst of all, he could still feel the pain of betrayal cutting through him like a blade.The others had tried to warn him. Gerald. Drake. Even Steward. They had all sensed something off, something unnatural about the woman he had so fiercely defended. But Saint had refused to listen. He had let his love blind him to the truth, and because of that, he had nearly cost his clan everything.A sharp knock at the door startled him from his thoughts. He lifted his head slowly, dreading the conversation he knew was coming.“Enter,” he said, his voice hoarse.The door creaked open, and Gerald stepped in, followed closely by Drake, who was still bandaged from their fight. Drake looked better, but there was s

    It took both men the whole day to get to the dragon clan and not a single word had been exchanged between both men. Saint's guilt was eating him whole, while Drake was lost in his own thoughts. At intervals, Saint would wipe out an invisible sweat from his face and blow out some air or chew ok his fingers. He had apologized in his head to Gerald and his uncle time and time again over what he had said to them and how he had treated them. "Gosh, will they ever forgive me?!" Saint said to himself, his gaze falling onto the floor. "Who?" Drake asked him. "Hunh?" Saint asked, lifting his gaze slowly to meet his brother's. He didn't think that Drake had heard him talking to himself. "Who is never going to forgive you?" Drake clarified. "Oh, uhm..." Saint let out a loud sight before he would confess, "I had been too hard on them especially Gerald. I had been quick to declare punishment without even getting to listen to them. My own family—the people I call my own. I had casted them as

    Chapter 90"Come on now, let me help you to your feet." Saint spat out more blood into a corner and reached out a hand to help Drake. "Thanks!" Drake clasped his hand coated with blood into Saint's. "You look like you've lost a lot of blood, I'm so sorry that I could not help you out." Saint apologized genuinely. "It's fine, I completely understand you." Drake said, nodding his head slowly. "I never knew that she was strong, Saint, she doesn't even look it at all." Drake said as he stood to his feet but Saint didn't want to let go of him yet for fear that he might fall. "Yeah, I didn't know too. Thank you for delivering that final cut to her, I wished that I had been the one to do it myself." Saint said again, he couldn't bear the way his conscience was pricking at him for not wanting to fight Victoria even though he has sworn to himself that he would not show mercy on the one who had taken the lives of his people.

    "Where the hell are you, you dirty bitch. Stop being a coward and come out and fight me!!" Drake yelled, his eyes darting across the room, looking for any signs of her. He had managed to wrestle one of Victoria's daggers from her. He got himself badly injured in the process but he was able to get her to release one of the daggers. Victoria, seeing this, immediately went into hiding. "Come out here, you pig!" Stage screamed again. Victoria's laughter filled the room, causing Drake's stomach to tighten. He tried to follow the sound of the laughter but it seemed to be coming from all around the room. "Come out here, so I can slit your throat in half and feed your head to the vultures." Stage threatened but instead, Victoria's laughter doubled. "I'd love for you to do that, Drake." Victoria said and finally appeared from the shadows, holding her last dagger in hand. "Let's make this quick, shall we?" She intoned and made bone cracking noises with her neck. She had no interest in pr

    His knees grew so weak under him that they could barely hold up his weight. He struggled to stand and even when his knees started to wobbel, he held onto the wall for support but knew that he would not be able to stay for that long. Victoria was not done talking, she was still yapping away with a rush of excitement at how she managed to fool everyone and make them think that they were still being tormented by another enemy when all along, it had been her who was responsible. Before Drake could sense what was happening, Saint had already collapsed to his knees. "Why?" He kept on crying as his head fell onto the floor, "why did it have to be you, Victoria? Why not someone else?" He cried out. "And what the fuck is that supposed to mean? You think I'm not a worthy opponent, don't you, Saint? Well why don't you get up and let me show you what exactly I'm capable of doing!" She said angrily as she rushed towards him and pulled him by the collar and was about to drag him up to his feet
