Sophie woke up when she heard her mother groan. She looked at her and saw her mother’s eyes finally open after sleeping for twenty-four hours.“Mom,” she carefully called out to her. Sophie’s mother looks at her with a confused look on her face. Sophie smiled at her and gently sat beside her. “You’re finally awake. How are you feeling?”“Sophie?” her mother cried out in a weak voice. Tears started to form in her eyes, and so did Sophie’s. They burst into tears when they tried to console each other.“Mom, I’m glad you’re okay!” Sophie said. The doctor entered right on time to check up on Sophie’s mother and is shocked because finally, the madam is awake.“Pardon me, Ms. Sophie, but I need to check up on her to see if she’s really okay?” the doctor said. Sophie nodded and let the doctor do what he needed to do.“Is she alright?” Sophie asked.She had been so worried about her mother ever since the accident. Seeing her awake was a huge relief, but she couldn't shake off the fear of what
Ellen aimlessly drives out of town. He wanted to cool off his head before returning home, he didn't want to make a mistake he might regret later. Ellen knows that this isn’t the best action to do but he couldn’t bring himself to turn back just yet.Not like this at least, he thought. Ellen’s phone rang and he connected the call to his car before answering. “What is Vox?” he asked.“Where are you right now?” Vox said. Ellen can sense the seriousness of Vox's tone.“What is it?”Vox sighs before he answers, “There’s some idiot who attacks our village in the southern part of our territory.”“Let Sedan handle it,” Ellen replied. “It’s time for him to learn how he handles things.”“That’s what I thought too but after learning who’s behind it I don’t think Sedan can handle it on his own.”Ellen frowned, who might be strong enough to challenge his strength and power after the war broke out from Martavia. “Who is it?” Ellen asked.“It’s the God of Love, Amoris,” he declared. Ellen smirks, wha
Ellen crashed into one of the buildings, collapsing under the rubble. All three of them, Lyric, Vox, and Sedan look at their commander with a worried look.Ellen stood up like it was nothing, removing the debris that fell over him and brushing off the dust from his shoulders. Ellen looks at the heart stone golem that’s waiting for him. Ellen didn’t get any scratches or broken bones from the golem's attack. He managed to block his head with his hands before the golem launched its attack.“Commander!” the three called out in unison. Ellen saw the golem running towards him. He picks up a stone brick from the rubles and scans where the golem's weakness is.Fire wouldn’t cut it, that’s why Amoris created a lot of them because it could stand a fire. Ellen smirk, “If my fire won’t work, perhaps a stone like itself will.” Ellen said while tossing the stone he picked up, up and down.Ellen wondered what that red stone was on its chest, and in an instant, he knew what he needed to do to kill th
"Vox!" Ellen's voice echoed through the chaos. “What in the world are you doing?”“Come back here!” Ellen lunged towards Vox, but he found himself surrounded by his enemies. “F*ck, Vox!”Despite Ellen's calls, Vox seemed oblivious, fixated on Amoris, whose eyes continued to glow ominously. Despite this, he continuously calls out for Vox in order for him to regain Vox control over his body.Ellen grabs the enemy’s weapon and uses it against them. The number of enemies surrounding him doubled making it not easier to catch up with Vox.Cursing under his breath, Ellen pondered, "Is he being manipulated?" He slashed through his opponents, his mind racing with worry."Commander!" Lyric's voice pierced through the chaos. They were completely surrounded, facing overwhelming enemies all at once. “What's happening to Vox?” she demanded.As she fought her way towards Ellen, Lyric voiced her suspicions. “Could it be... a love spell?”"A love spell?" Ellen repeated, furrowing his brow in confu
“F*ck!”Ellen cursed under his breath. He had been so close to capturing Amoris, yet he let her slip away. Frustrated, he angrily removed his armor vest and let it drop to the ground. Closing his eyes, he tried to reign in the anger simmering inside him, massaging his temples to ease the tension.Taking a deep breath, Ellen forced himself to calm down. He couldn't afford to let his emotions cloud his judgment. Opening his eyes, he glanced around, his mind already racing with plans to deal with the situation.One of his men approached him, concern etched on his face. "Commander, what do you plan to do next?" he inquired. Ellen let out a sigh before replying."We'll do what we've always done," Ellen began, his voice heavy with determination. "Gather all their dead bodies and display them outside our walls. It's been too long since we've enacted this ritual. We need to remind them of the consequences of daring to invade our territory."He scanned the area, his gaze steely. "Leave nobo
Rushing to the dungeon, Ellen couldn't believe his eyes. The Vox who had been struggling to break free from his chains earlier was now eerily silent, not moving an inch. Chained to the wall, his hands were spread wide in both directions, standing motionless like a statue.Ellen approached cautiously, his heart pounding with apprehension. "Vox?" he called out tentatively, hoping for some response. But Vox remained unresponsive, his gaze fixed straight ahead, devoid of any emotion.Concerned, Ellen turned to the guards stationed outside the dungeon. "What happened?" he demanded, his voice tinged with urgency.The guard shifted uncomfortably before responding. "He just... stopped, Commander. One moment, he was struggling, and the next, he went completely still. We thought it best not to approach him, given his... condition."Lyric approached Vox slowly, her heart heavy with concern. "Vox," she said softly, tapping his cheeks lightly. "Can you hear me?""I can hear him breathing steadily
Ellen and Amoris and their subordinates all came to face to face each other. Each one of them are glaring at one another, ready to throw their fist on each other’s faces.Ellen’s minister of peace spoke, “This is not the time to throw daggers on each other. Goddess Amoris, please tell us what you wanted.”“As what Ive said to Commander Ellen, I would like to form an alliance with you.”A loud slam on the table echoed through the room. The minister of war fuming in anger stands up and leaned forward, his gaze piercing. “That’s bullsh*t. You wanted alliance then why would someone who wanted to join hands with us, invade our territory and cast a spell on Commanders right hand man?!”Ellen’s ministers agreed to what the minister of war said. Ellen is just sitting there listening to everyone. Amoris who’s calm as Ellen look at him in the eyes. “I know you loathe the God of destruction, Ronaldo. That bastard took my money and scam me.”“Ronaldo?” the minister of war said. Ronaldo is the nas
“DK company?” Ellen asked, curiosity etched in his voice. The company was renowned as one of the largest in Kester City.His brow furrowed in concern. Rose hadn't mentioned anything about this to Ellen. It seemed Sophie's grandmother had intervened, possibly discarding Rose due to her repeated failures in her role for the chairman. Ellen sighed,“You look exhausted. Let's discuss this tomorrow,” Sophie suggested, offering a bittersweet smile.Ellen shakes his head, “I’m not that tired,” he said. He’s lying but he needed to hear more about this guy that her grandmother wanted her to marry.Ellen smiled at her as he gently lowered, Sophie onto the bed and tucked her under the sheets. “Where are you going?” Sophie inquired."Just to change my clothes. I'll be right back," he reassured her before pressing a tender kiss to her forehead.Returning in his sleeping attire, Ellen slipped into bed beside Sophie, who immediately sought solace in his embrace."I missed you," she whispered. "I co
