The Return Of Martins Goblin. CHAPTER 015.
There's a saying, the higher the throne, the greater the opposition. Seth knew one truth about power: Every throne invites opposition. Enemies lurked in every shadow, families lie in wait for the heirs of the throne to falter. A single misstep could bring an entire dynasty crashing down. The Darkfang dynasty was no exception. The Kylain family, sworn enemies of the Darkfangs for generations, had long vied for the Zizou throne. Their power rivaled the Darkfangs', with family members entrenched in the empire’s military ranks, weaving quiet, sinister schemes. The two families' rivalry had left a trail of blood and betrayal, but today, Seth Mandeep was about to cross enemy lines—not for conquest, but for alliance. He stood before the towers of the mighty Kylain dynasty. The gates were monumental, a fortress of iron, brass, and steel. They were impenetrable to anyone without the proper validation, and even if someone managed to breach them, the sprawling security network of guards a

Clyde stayed fastened on his seat, unfazed and deterred as he revved the car through the high way.“Young Master_ after the gala tonight by the morrow, we'd have to leave for Gold city. We've kept her majesties waiting for so long.” Danielle said. Her - also unperturbed by the raving, lightning speed of the car, she had that much faith in him.“They can wait a little bit longer, can't they? Like I said before, I have other matters I need to attend to. And a new business to run_” He said with a smirk. He turned the steering wheel, giving it a sharp, quick precision as he drove through the bending corner. His car, moving like a lightning bolt.*The gala night at Tesslar Corporation marked a pivotal moment. It wasn’t just a lavish event; it was a declaration—a bold statement that the company was under new, dynamic leadership, bold and unapologetic.The venue was a spectacle of luxury. The chandelier, a dazzling cascade of crystals, spun light across the grand hall, while guests sauntere

Love or a tingling feelingAs Clyde and Danielle stepped into the grand, glittering ballroom, the Master of Events seized the moment, calling the guests to the dance floor. He could feel the heat between the two, and he wanted to harness their energy to spark life into the party.Clyde turned to Danielle, his green eyes glinting with mischief under the chandelier's light. Without a word, without waiting for her response, he reached for her waist, his touch firm yet gentle. Danielle froze for a second, a shiver coursed up her spine, leaving her breathless. Startled by the intensity of her own reaction, she glanced down at his hands, then up at his face. His steady gaze disarmed her, and for the first time, she felt something unfamiliar—something she couldn’t name.He reached for her right hand, lifting it with an effortless grace. His smile was warm, teasing. She managed a faint smile in return, battling the emotions bubbling within her.“Relax,” he whispered, his voice low, steady, an

Bravery or CowardiceClarissa rose from her seat abruptly, her knees trembling as she stumbled and almost fell. Rachael instinctively reached out to steady her.“Let me help—”“I’m fine,” Clarissa snapped, shaking off the gesture. Her voice was firm, her pride unyielding. She straightened herself, brushing invisible dust from her dress.Rachael folded her arms. “Where to?” she asked cautiously.“Stop bugging me, Rachael. You’re not my mom!” Clarissa’s tone was sharp, her gaze averted as she stormed off.*In the restroom, the cool droplets of water she splashed onto her face did little to soothe the chaos within. Clarissa stared at her reflection, her makeup slightly smudged, and her eyes heavy with regret. The face staring back at her was a stranger—a pitiful, broken woman haunted by her mistakes.She hated this version of herself.The door creaked open, and footsteps echoed against the tiled floor. She turned, her pulse quickening.It was Seth.“Jesus Christ,” she hissed, her voice

She's not even that pretty.As they strode out, the chaos began.Flashes from cameras lit up the night, and the paparazzi swarmed like bees around a hive. Questions rained down in rapid fire, piercing the cool night air like sharp daggers.“Young Lord Clyde! Is it true you're a member of the Darkfang family and heir to the Zizou throne?”“Are you Clyde Tesslar or Clyde Darkfang? What's your true identity?”“Why would you hide your identity from the world?”“Is it true your ex-wife divorced you because she thought you were poor?”“Why did you decide to blow your cover after the divorce?”“And who is this new lady with you? A lover, or some ploy to get back at your ex-wife for leaving you for her boss?”Clyde stood frozen, his expression unreadable under the relentless barrage. How did they know all this? How had his carefully concealed secrets unraveled so quickly? His jaw tightened, but he remained silent, his mind racing for an exit. Danielle, ever quick on her feet, leaned toward hi

In Trouble[ GOLD CITY FORTRESS ] DARKFANG DYNASTYClyde walked through the familiar streets of the grand estate where he had spent much of his childhood before he joined the military training.The golden walls of the Gold City Fortress shimmered under the light of the midday sun, a constant reminder of his family’s prestige and his responsibility to uphold it."Young Lord." Every servant, guard, and courtier he passed bowed deeply in deference, but their hushed whispers followed him, like the soft rustle of leaves in the wind.He was no longer just a heir; he was a figure cloaked in mystery and burdened by whispers of scandal.As he entered the courtroom, he felt a sharp pang of nostalgia—he had played in this very hall as a boy. But today, there was no room for childish memories. His parents sat at the far end, resplendent in their royal attire, their gazes sharp and unforgiving. Clyde and Danielle immediately dropped to their knees and bowed low."Your Majesties," they echoed.The

WillIt missed. Again.Frustration welled up in Clyde’s chest. This was the twelfth time, and each failure felt heavier than the last. He dropped the bow to the ground, tears threatening to spill.“I can’t do it!” he exclaimed, his little voice quivering. “I’ve tried so many times, and I keep failing!”From behind, a familiar, commanding voice broke through his despair.“Come now, my boy—why give up so easily?”It was his father. The Emperor. Dressed in regal robes but with a warmth in his eyes that cut through the young prince’s frustration, he stooped down to retrieve the discarded bow and arrow.“Failure is not the end,” his father said, kneeling to meet Clyde’s gaze. “It’s just another step toward success. If you stop now, how will you know which attempt would have been the one to hit the mark?”Clyde looked at his father, his young mind grappling with the weight of those words.“Here,” his father continued, gently placing the bow back in Clyde’s hands. “Take it again. Look throug

DanielleClyde thought a stroll around the palace with his arms tucked behind his back, could help him think clearer, replaying the events in his mind. His mission in Marula was far from over, and Clarissa’s unexpected presence complicated things.She wasn’t part of his plan, yet somehow, she had become part of it. Her fire, her vulnerability, and the strange peace she brought to him—made loving her easy.But it all fell apart when the same cruel coworkers and classmates mocked her again, this time for clinging to a "failed janitor" like Clyde. Someone who she bragged was going to give her a better life within a year couldn't afford to leave the slums.“Would I have done it differently than show myself after our divorce?” he asked himself. The answer was clear, even if the council wouldn’t understand.They would demand justifications, explanations, and maybe even apologies. But Clyde had none to give—not for avenging himself.*Danielle sat by the swimming pool, ripples formed with ev

The helicopter roared above the ground, its blades slicing through the air with a deafening intensity. The sheer force of the rotating blades stirred the earth below, sending plants swaying wildly and loose leaves spiraling into the air. Dust and debris danced in the chaotic wind, creating a haze around the landing zone.One after the other, five military men descended from the aircraft, each gripping tightly onto a thick, sturdy rope. Their movements were swift but precise, their bodies clad in fully knitted tactical gear designed for the mission ahead. The black helmets, bulletproof vests, and camouflage patterns blended seamlessly with the dim light of the forested area.Their boots hit the ground with a muted thud, each man landing in a crouched position, weapons at the ready. The soldiers immediately fanned themselves into formation, their eyes scanning the area with hawk-like vigilance. The tension in the air was palpable as the craft blades above continued their furious rotatio

In her memories_ she could recall how his face fell on her intently, and how all eyes were on them at the gala. His softened gaze broke the walls around her heart and he ushered himself in without permission.She remembered the feel of his lips when she crashed hers on his in front of Clarissa.Her tongue swam through her lips, wetting it. But then_she reminded herself that she was just an ordinary assistant.Instead of dwell in self loathe, her mind tried to figure out a way out of the distress. She thought about a thousand and one thing then suddenly, a very brilliant idea crossed her mind.Still in chains, she counted the numbers of guards at the exits and around. She realizes she won't be able to out do all of them on her own. So she started strategizing how to get out of there.*It was midnight.There night was dark as coal serve for the moon that gave off a little light.Her shut eyes opened up abruptly, woken by her instincts. She realized everyone around her seemed off guarde

The day was hot, the sun shone over the battlefield. Blood stained the ground, smoke curled into the sky, and the scent of death filled the air. But Clyde had no time for the fallen. His heart thundered in his chest as he gripped his sword tighter.Danielle was gone.Again.Clyde inhaled deeply, forcing himself to stay calm. Anger was useful, but only if controlled. His vision sharpened, his mind focused. There was no room for failure. Whoever took her, whoever dared to use her as bait would learn the true wrath of the Darkfang Clan.He turned to his men, their faces streaked with blood and sweat."Spread out," he ordered, his voice cutting through the night air. "Track every scent, every footprint. Someone knows where they took her.""Yes, Master!" they responded in unison before dispersing like shadows into the ruined battlefield.Clyde’s earpiece crackle."Master, we found a lead," Walex’s voice came through."Talk.""A survivor. One of the mercenaries from the Villains. He’s wound
CHAPTER 046.
A tense silence filled the grand hall of the Kylain stronghold. Clyde stood at the center, his dark eyes locked onto the Kylain leader. The air crackled with tension, but what held his attention the most were the men standing behind the leader, some mercenaries, not Kylain warriors. They were heavily armed, their faces concealed by masks, their weapons gleaming under the dim chandelier light.A third party?Someone else had entered the fight and tried to sabotage our plans.Clyde exhaled sharply. He had anticipated resistance, but this was different. The Kylains had brought outside forces into their war. This wasn’t just a clan dispute anymore."Who are they?" Clyde asked, his voice calm but sharp.The Kylain leader smirked. "You thought this was between us? You underestimate the reach of those who desire the throne."Clyde clenched his jaw. He didn’t like surprises, and this reeked of something bigger."Your father made many enemies, boy," the leader continued. "And you? You are just
CHAPTER 045.
Clyde stood in front of the large glass window in his chamber, hands behind his back, his mind lost in thought. The night sky was dark, but the moon cast a faint silver glow across the city. From here, he could see the vastness of his estate, the territory of the Darkfang Clan stretching beyond the horizon.Tonight would mark the beginning of a war that had been brewing for years.Danielle’s face flickered through his mind again. The thought of her trapped in Seth’s hands made his jaw clench. He should be the one to get her out. He should be the one by her side, but he couldn't afford to risk the mission. If things went wrong, Danielle would suffer, and he wouldn’t allow that.A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts."Come in," he ordered, his voice steady.Craig entered, his expression serious. "Everything is set. We’ll be moving in an hour."Clyde turned to face him. "Good."Craig hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Are you sure about splitting the team like this

“He also said you once saved his life from a fire incident so he feels indebted to you and is willing to help you with this information but_you only and no one else. So far, he seems willing to share some information about Seth, his location and where he is keeping Danielle hostage.” Craig explained.Clyde looked at the man intently, his face not striking any resemblance. Yet he was right about one thing. He did save a number of people from a fire accident long time ago but he harldy recalled anything significant about that event and barely remembered the faces of those he saved or how they looked like.Perhaps he could be telling the truth_part of his facial skin folded upon each other—depicting a once upon a time fire victim. The scars were still there and didn't seem to ever go away.“How sure are you that we should trust this man? This could be a trap!” He said, his face portraying no emotion.“He works as one of Seth's men.” Craig replied.Clyde's eyes narrowed as he looked at th

He sighed and pinched his nose bridge. “Danielle has been kidnapped.” He said calmly, his breath was sharp and deep, finally he got himself to say it.They stood, quiet and calm, their faces betrayed no emotion.“What?” Clyde was agitated. “Won't you guys say something?” He asked, annoyance evident in his tone.“We're waiting for your orders, Young master.” They responded calm and professional.He sighed.They were right—his orders.He should've handled this professionally and less emotional just as he was taught in training than let sentiment cloud his judgement and thinking.“I need more men!” He repeated, his tone low but audible. “I need men that'll sweep through the entire empire until Seth Mandeep is found and apprehended.” he spoke, his tone deep and icy.“You order we execute!” They said, “Your wish is our command.”“Danielle must be rescued alive!” He emphasized.“Roger.” They saluted. “No worries Master, this matter is settled, you're in safe hands.” Craig said, his face sta

Clyde didn't respond. In terms of size or status, this man had it all. Compared to him he took the likeness of a buzzing fly_ regardless— he made up his mind. He wasn't one to chatter so he was not going to banter words with him.While he thought he gave baby punches_ he was tasting the waters, strategizing and trying to figure out where would strike the most if he was to hit him. Seeking for his most vulnerable side.He kept looking strategically until he found it and though he received a black eye from that challenge he gave that fat, arrogant jerk a reason to visit the hospital.Since then he was feared the most in the training ground.The man in question was tall, huge, had long dark hair that flowed over his shoulders and he loved wearing wolf skin. —-*Danielle blinked slowly, her eyes adjusting to the blinding rays of the sun. She yawned, spitting a strand of hair that almost got into her mouth—that was a long sleep.She attempted to move her body but realized that she was in

“She hasn't woken yet, your men must've given her too much of that drug!” She complained, irritation lacing on her words.“She'll wake when it wears off.” Seth shot back, his tone dripping with annoyance. Angry that she's unsatisfied with anything he does.“This better not make Clyde turn beast mode on us. I expected you to capture both of them.” She retorted sharply.“Well, he wasn't home.” he shrugged, dismissing her reprimand.He left Danielle and strode somewhere else.“Next time wait till he is.” she chipped in, her voice raising to the ceiling.He scowled, muttering under his breath, "Ungrateful bit—"“You said something?" she asked, her sharp ears catching his mumbled insult."No... I meant, yes. Yes ma'am__ I'll do better next time" he quickly corrected himself, forcing a smile, his tone bordering on mockery.She looked at him suspiciously, “Now listen to me.” her eyes dimmed, her voice commanding.“Try not to lay any of those filthy hands of yours on her. She's not your play
