Chris groaned, still having the heaviness on his head. He could himself float in mid-air, yet his body felt heavy. When he sought to open his eyes, everything around him remained blurry, but he could hear the chatter of people all over the place.“This isn’t right, they came here to help us,”It was Orboc. His voice was stern, gritty, and angry as usual.Once again, he struggled to mumble and ask what was happening, but his entire body did not follow what he wanted.“It’s for the good of everyone. You’ve seen how we barely survived that last attack.”Tensel grumbled.There were sounds of slapping and hitting from everywhere, along with groaning, before he heard another voice.“Lord Eldegor said that general Asron has already surrendered himself. He’s pledged allegiance to the king, so this is us doing him a favor.”It was Laslon who stated that.Chris still had a headache, but hearing that caused him to shrug it off. He needed to know what they meant. He wanted to ask it himself, but
“Why are you doing this? They will hang you if they find out that you let us out?”Cushar remained doubtful of the entire ordeal, remembering how the man kept pestering and berating them.“I’m not doing this for you.”Orboc spat, not taking his eyes off of the shackles.“Then why are you risking your life like this?”Chris asks, a bit confused about his actions.“I’ve served under lord Asron for the longest time, and I know he will not agree to this.”The scout gritted his teeth, almost breaking the cuffs that were on Chris’ with his bare hands if he hadn’t unlocked it.“What’s happening outside and where are the others?”He asks, wanting to confirm their situation.They immediately followed the guy as he signaled for them to move. They stop for a moment so that they could check if anybody was there.“There’s been another breach, and the general has drafted your friends to fight in the front.”He answers before they moved through the dungeons. Tiptoeing as they made their way through
The ground crumbled as Chris stepped in, breaking the earth with the release of his power. The crack swallowed several enemies into a pit of spikes, unseen from above. He did not let the roots spring out to avoid being seen, and to make sure that they were not be noticeable.The group stared at them the moment they rush to their aid. Cortus was the one to face them when they couldn’t see their faces.“Stay where you are. We don’t need any help, so you’d better keep your word.”He says, pointing the tip of their swords at them.They had at least a few minutes since the krads were having a hard time moving about because of the cracks.“And what would that be?”He slightly raises his hood, enough to show the drogan warrior his face.“Chris? How’d you get out?”Cortus’ expression quickly change, smiling as he lowered his sword with a sigh of relief.“What did they tell you?”He asks again, intrigue at what deal did the general give to make them follow.“They told us they will free you if
“Are you all right?”Chris called out to his friend after dodging that last strike that the general had thrown. It seems his hunches were correct.The guy hadn’t shown an ounce of his power, and now that thing were getting serious, he couldn’t even land a shot.“Damn, that old man is strong. Stop fooling around. You’re going to get us killed!”Cortus grumbled, grinning as he stood up. His sword remained pointed at their opponent, who had a wide smirk on his face.Those words ticked something in his head. Was he doing it again? And here he thought that he’d set that fear of killing inside of him.Yet, if not for the drogan warrior, they had knocked him out minutes ago. He throws a quick glance at the others. They were all standing their ground, except for him.“Sorry about that.”He clenches his fist, holding on to his guns. With a deep breath, he tries to stop that continues rumbling inside his chest.“Alright, playtime is over you kids.”Eldegor raised his axe. A reddish shine came o
Weakened, wheezing, and almost losing consciousness, Chris continued to rush into the forest.He didn’t care that his legs felt so heavy that he kept wobbling or that every breath that he took hardly reached his lungs. All he could think of that time was to warn everyone, make sure that they know that the eastern fort had betrayed them.It had sunk into his mind so much that he barely noticed the silence that was all over the place. Until he decided speaking to the plants that were there.Only when he had tried communicating with the flora that he realized that the ones that he had planted there were all gone.He walked slowly, trembling with each step as he looked at the horizon. There were several trails of smoke that were rising from it.“Oh, no.”Chris gasped, realizing what it could mean. He crawled in haste to the hill that was covering the place.His heart wrench, tears started building up in his eyes the moment he gazed at the sight where the once lush forest was. It was now r
“If you’ll just let me, I can talk to my father about your sentence. You don’t have to stay in here.”Deshar cooed.The soldiers had beaten the drogan general into submission, yet he remained head strong, unbroken, and vigilant. He still looks dashing even while sitting there, wearing only a loincloth with his arms chained to the wall.As she pressed the wet cloth on his wounds, she couldn’t resist putting her soft fingers on him, carefully tracing the fine lines of the warrior’s well-built frame.She smiled, enjoying the rough touch of it, how hard it felt in her skin. It made the male groan, wincing from the sting of its freshness.His deep voice sent ticklish vibrations rippling down her thighs. It caused shivers throughout her body that for a moment; she lost herself in ecstasy.“I have done nothing to require pardon. I am innocent.”Asron retaliated. He couldn’t accept that he was being imprisoned for treason, a crime he did not commit.He’d been loyal to the throne, and had rema
“Is your pride truly worth it all this pain and suffering?”Deshar murmured into the warrior’s ears, taking a nip of it to taste that delectable saltiness of his skin. She smiles, feeling that loud throbbing underneath his hard, muscular chest.The male’s face twisted and twitch with each sensual touch, yet he did not fight back and remained steady, even when she began pressing her lips down his neck.“Oh, Herlein, forgive me.”Asron murmurs, his body stiffening from reacting to that pulsing sensation that was picking away the last ounce of his dignity.The princess’ expression lit up, watching how the warrior winced in ecstasy, groaning at each brush of her tongue, a sign that he was surrendering to her whim.At that point, she presses her mouth to his. He avoids her at first, unable to raise his head, yet he gladly accepts her second attempt.Deshar moaned, tasting that exquisite lip of his, joyous at finally forcing the noble hero to give in to her.She takes her time savoring the
They gathered at the table after dinner. The servants were just finishing on cleaning up their plates. That’s why they remained silent for a while.The tension in the room was heavy, since each one of them wanted to speak out of their mind. At the moment the door closed, the king poured himself a good serving of wine, gulping it in a single go as he looked him in the eye.“Did you tame him?”His father asks.The shadow in his eyes was noticeable from the lack of sleep. It didn’t help that they were now facing repercussions for abducting the hero of the kingdom.Both males remained silent as they observed how the princess kept that wide smirk, all the while meticulously picking pieces of fruits on a tray.She took her time chewing her food, suckling on her fingers to savor the juice that spilled there, puckering her lips in delight at the sweetness of it.Her gaze was playful the moment she turned to them, her grin reaching up to her ear, still feeling that fluttering inside her chest.
