RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension chapter 76
"Enter," Victoria called out to the maid. The door creaked open, and her personal maid, Liana, stepped in with a silver tray balanced in her hands. The aroma of roasted pheasant and freshly baked bread filled the air. Liana approached with the same quiet grace she always carried, setting the tray down on the small table beside Victoria."Your meal, my lady," Liana said, keeping her eyes lowered.Victoria barely spared a glance at the food. Instead, she watched as Liana turned to leave. "Wait."The maid froze, then turned back, her expression neutral. "Yes, my lady?"Victoria studied her for a moment, searching for an anchor in the sea of betrayals that surrounded her. She had no one to talk to, no one who truly understood what she had endured. Finally, she spoke. "Do you have a moment?"Liana hesitated. It was not common for a noblewoman to seek conversation with a servant, but she knew she could not refuse. "Of course, my lady."Victoria exhaled deeply and gestured for Liana to sit,

The whole night was completely silent—only the soft rustling of leaves in the gentle wind could be heard. Victoria took a deep breath as she stepped out of the house, the cool night air biting at her skin. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest, but she kept her steps light, glancing over her shoulder every few moments to ensure no one had followed her. The weight of her decision sat heavily in her chest, but she refused to falter. She had packed what she needed in a modest suitcase, not wanting to draw any unnecessary attention. As much as she hated sneaking out like a thief in the night, she knew this was the only way.She reached her car, gripping the handle tightly as she prepared to open the door, but before she could, a familiar voice sliced through the night.“Going somewhere?”Her breath hitched, and she turned abruptly, her eyes widening in shock. Standing a few feet away was Saint with his arms crossed over his chest and his dark eyes locking onto hers with an unreadab

The moment Saint dropped her off back at her villa, she hurriedly made her way to the mansion. But as she stood before the grand double doors of her family’s estate, her heart began to pound faster in her chest. She had never felt this level of anticipation before, not even when she had made the decision to leave. Her family had always belittled Saint, and now, she was about to prove them wrong. She adjusted her coat and took a deep breath before stepping inside, her eyes glancing through the whole area. Her parents and siblings were seated in the extravagant lounge, indulging in light conversation when she walked in. They turned to her with mild surprise, not expecting her return so soon."Victoria? What brings you back?" her mother asked, eyes narrowing in suspicion."I've come to take you somewhere," she said, standing tall despite the skeptical looks they exchanged.Her father scoffed. "Where could you possibly take us that we haven’t already been?"Victoria straightened her sho

The enemy looked like he was a man of steel with his muscles rippling like forged iron beneath his dark robes. Saint immediately stepped forward, shielding Victoria and her family. He clenched his fists, ready for battle, but a nagging feeling of unease settled in his gut. This man was different—his aura alone was suffocating.Just as the enemy charged at Saint with the force of a thunderstorm, a blur of movement disrupted his path. A swift kick sent the intruder staggering backward. Saint barely had time to react before a familiar voice cut through the tension.“You’re too reckless, brother,” Drake said, standing tall beside Saint.Saint’s eyes widened in shock. “Drake? How—how did you find this place?”Drake smirked, never taking his gaze off the enemy. “I’ve been following you. I tried to warn you, but I was too late.”Saint processed his brother’s words quickly but didn’t have time to argue. The enemy was already recovering from the surprise attack, rolling his shoulders with an

The zlate family sat in their opulent living room in utter silence as they began to process everything they had witnessed at Saint’s mansion. The weight of their disbelief hung in the air, as they could not believe all that had transpired and all that they had witnessed at Saint's mansion. Just hours ago, they had laughed at Victoria’s insistence that Saint owned such a lavish estate, only to be humiliated when the undeniable truth had unfolded before their very eyes.Lord Zlate was the first to break the silence. “I still cannot believe it,” he murmured, shaking his head from side to side. “That man… Saint… He owns that mansion? That estate looked like something out of a royal family’s treasury. I can't believe that someone like him would own a grand property like that.”"Well you better believe it, father!" Victoria folded her arms as she replied to him. Lady Zlate pursed her lips. “And the way we were served… the number of staff, the cuisine… Everything about that place screamed

"What did you say?""I said it was a decoy!" Drake repeated, trying to raise his voice above the whole chaos, "the fight that had happened back at the mansion was a decoy attack, just to distract us from getting here any sooner." He added while looking ahead.Saint had not realised this until now—until Drake pointed it out. The whole place coming down in shambles as more buildings were being set on fire. "Hey stop right there!" Saint yelled out to the bandits, "it's me you want, so stop destroying my clan." Saint shouted again but the men went on destroying every single building in sight. They had barely even noticed that he had showed up and was standing a few distance away from them. "I said, stop it right now!" Saint yelled out and was about to go after them when Drake helled him by the arm, stopping him from moving any further. "Let me go after them, Drake!" Saint yelled out and yanked his hand away from him but before Drake could reach out to grab Saint's hand again, he had

When the tension in the air had finally cooled off a bit and Saint was the only man standing amidst the chaos, Drake approached him—with a tinge of doubt. "S—saint?" He called out, moving towards him. "Where the hell is Uncle Magnus and Gerald, how could they have let this happen while I was gone!!" Saint screamed above his lungs ."Saint, you have to calm down." Drake let out, trying to calm him down but Saint was not having any of it. He was pissed at the fact that Gerald and his uncle had scampered away like chickens. Even if they were not able to put up a fight against these bandits, they should have sent the warriors to the battle front to at least protect the people. A lot of his subjects had lost their lives while trying to get away from these bandits and it would take almost forever to completely bury them all. "I said where the hell is Uncle Magnus and Gerald?!" Saint yelled out again, turning to face Drake for the first time since he came up beside him. "I....I have no

The meeting held with the Council of elders and every other person present was the shortest meeting that had ever been held in history. Saint was devastated by all that had happened and could barely speak. Disappointment was an understatement to what he felt—and he knew that he wouldn't recover from this magnitude of grief for a long while. As soon as everyone had been dismissed from the meeting, Saint lingered in his chair a while longer. The bone of contention at the meeting was to discuss how and in what way the dead bodies of his subjects would be buried. It was a disaster to have this amount of people buried in just one day. As a form of punishment, Saint had asked that Gerald be among the servants who would dig the ground for the bodies to buried in. He could not met out the same punishment to lord Magnus majorly due to his age. Gerald had been handed the greater portion of ground to dig. Gerald pleaded with Saint that his punishment be reduced as he could not bury that muc

At the far end of the room, Vic stood with an amused smirk, her arms crossed. Her presence exuded power—dark and overwhelming. She tilted her head slightly as she observed Saint, her eyes gleaming with malice.“You finally came,” she said smoothly, stepping forward. “I was beginning to think you had abandoned them.”Saint ignored her taunt, his gaze locked onto Victoria. Her chest rose and fell faintly—she was alive, but barely. His fists clenched at his sides.“Let them go, Vic.” His voice was calm but laced with deadly intent. “This ends now.”Vic chuckled. “Oh, Saint. You always think you can swoop in like a hero and fix everything. But you don’t understand… I’ve already won.”"Drop the dagger, Vic...." Saint ordered again, ignoring what she had said, "don't make this any harder than it is." He added. "But it already is. Someone should offer him a chair already, the show is just about to start." She said and erupted into another round of laughter. Saint was about to launch himself

Saint cut through the thick branches with the sword Sayid had handed over to him. He was relieved that he was able to convince him to head back to the clan with the others. He had seen the disappointment in his face when he told him that he couldn't afford to take him any farther than they had already come, and it was far too dangerous for Sayid to continue the journey with him. It was getting darker by every passing minute and Saint knew that he had to get on with his journey quickly. For some reason unknown to the others, Saint could sense that Vic was close by and these creatures that he had just battled with had been a decoy to distract them from the actual mission they had embarked on. He continued cutting down more branches as he walked. The sensation around him grew, signalling to him that he was already closer to Vic than he thought. He tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword and intensified the effort he used in cutting down more of the trees, clearing his path. The c

"I'm not moving an inch from here until I see Saint!" Gerald said stubbornly, adjusting his legs more comfortable on the ground but making sure that his legs didn't touch the creature. His eyes were still fixated on the creature. He had still not given up in trying to make out what it was and where they had come from. "Well then, suit yourself." Sayid said and started walking away. The stench that came from him was foul and immediately made the air unbearable to breathe. "Where are you going to, Sayid? We can't just leave Saint here all by himself!" Gerald said, his voice trembling with fear. "He's fine, you chicken heart, he just wants to set some things out for himself." Sayid said. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to face both men. He had noticed that something wasn't right. "Where are all the soldiers?!" He asked. "Most of them are dead, I think the rest ran away!" Steward replied. "Including my men?!" Sayid asked angrily. "Every single one of them...""How pat

He tried to get a glimpse of his life flashing before him as his eyes were shut tight. He swallowed the bile in his throat for the umpteenth time and breathing heavily—the smell of death hissing past his nostrils. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that his time had finally come, he could feel the power from the creature growing stronger by every passing minute and the hot drool from its mouth descending on him. "Spare my life, I beg of you!" Gerald clasped his palms in a form of a plea and raised it above his head. He hoped in his heart that the creature understood what he was saying. "Spare my life and I'd do anything that you want me to!" He said again and his hands fell weakly onto the floor, grabbing the soil in front of him. His whole body shivered from the cold that was seeping through his veins, never had he been faced with such situation. "I never should have left the car," he repeated. A loud shriek from the creature shook the leaves on the trees causing Gerald to c

Max wiped the perspiration off his forehead with his sleeve and dusted his hands. He was satisfied with how deep the hole was even though a pretty large part of it had not been his effort. "Come on, we need to bury him quickly before someone comes." Max said aloud. They had carried Max's lifeless body to an area where nobody would find it, not even Vic herself, except by some means of magic, but even if she would have, they would have all been long gone. "Certainly." The second guard replied and started breaking the rocks nearby that they were going to use in burying Drake. The plan was to level the spot they would bury Drake as much as possible and fill the place up with rocks. If anyone has plans of digging the place up, they would get a second thought—who buried people with rocks in than age. "It's all done." The second hairs let out, panting heavily. Max made sure to take a good look at Drake oneast time to make sure that he was actually dead. 'what if he wasn't?!' his thoug

It was at that point that Saint realised where they were. Why hadn't he sensed that something was wrong on time, it seemed as though a cloak had been removed from his eyes. "No one should step down from the car!" Saint ordered when the car had been brought to a halt. "Oh you don't need to tell me that twice. I already know what's going on....if you had just listened to me earlier..." Gerald grumbled and folded his hands. Despite the eerie environment that they were in, he felt no single iota of fear and instead disappointment toward Saint for not believing him earlier on. "I'm going to go check it out." Saint said and without giving them any chance to process their thoughts, he was already out of the car. Gerald's lips parted slightly in bewilderment. He wanted to say something but then hesitated and kept silent. "Aren't you coming, Gerald, I'm going with him." Sayid said, cutting through Gerald's line of thoughts. "Are you out of your damn mind?!" Gerald exclaimed. Sayid chuck

Not a single sound was heard from the warriors as they journeyed on, with Saint leading them on. Lord Magnus had offered to accompany them on the journey, but Saint had insisted that he stayed back so he wouldn't risk getting killed. Lord Magnus had tried to convince Saint that his conscience wouldn't let him stay back and he had to be by Saint's side, but Saint still insisted that he had to stay back with the clan. "Are you sure of where we heading to, Saint?" Gerald asked with confused brows as he noticed that they had been turning around in circles and it seemed like the fifth time they had passed through this particular route. Saint who had been struggling to keep back his confusion finally let out, "this has to be the route, it has to be here. Unless, it's either of two things; Vic is leading us into a trap or this isn't the route that leads to where she has asked that I come to get Drake and Victoria." "We have to turn back around, Saint. We can't continue embarking on a jou

They shook him fervently to make sure that he had been knocked out before they carried his body off of the floor and flung him into his cell. The first guard hurriedly locked the cell and watched Drake's body for a while. His brows creased as worry settled beneath his stomach when he noticed that something was deeply wrong. Drake's body wasn't moving and the regular rise and fall of his chest to induce that he was still breathing was absent. "Did you kill him?!" The first guard's voice trembled as he spoke, "i said did you kill him?!" He asked against in a loud tone but made sure it wasn't loud enough to be heard by Vic. "What do you mean by that, of course we did not!" Another guard replied this time. "Then why is he not breathing?!" The first guard's heart began to pound vigorously in his chest, "Move aside let's see." The other guards shoved him to the side as they made their way forward to see for themselves. They all stared with grave intensity, waiting for Drake's body to

"Make sure that he doesn't disturb me while I'm asleep!" Had been Vic's instructions to the guard before she left. Drake's screams continued to torment Victoria from where she sat in her cell, but she didn't let out a word of complaint, instead, she gritted her teeth and shifted her gaze for the first time on hours onto the floor, enduring the pain his loud screams brought to her ears. She wished that she could do something to make him quiet, he wasn't the only one going through the excruciating pain from the fluid. "Drake, please be quiet...." She tried to form the words, but she couple find the strength to do that, so she sat put and hoped in her heart that he would tire out soon, but that was far from the impossible, because this had been going on for days without any pause. "You just wait and see, Vic. The moment I get out of here, I'm going to slit your throat in half and burn this whole place down.!" Drake threatened still, while shaking the iron bars of the cell with all of
