The ride from the premises of the company back to the Castle took about thirty minutes as the cars moved through the busy roads occupied by other road users who were also on their way to their various destinations. Rebecca stoked interval glances at Liam, waiting for the rogue opportunity to start up a conversation, but Liam’s deadpan countenance gave her no chance to say even a single word. “Miss West?” Liam turned to look at her while they were getting really close to the avenue that led to the castle. “Yes, Lord Emrys,” Rebecca answered with a bright smile on her face, unintentionally showing the excitement she felt from hearing her name from the young CEO’s mouth. Liam waited for a few seconds while still trying to find out the reason behind the excitement on her face. “How long have you been working in the company?” “Three weeks, Lord Emrys. Just three weeks.” Rebecca responded while still maintaining her smile, nodding almost at the same time. “I see…” Liam w
Liam pushed himself up from the bed, turning to look at Brina who was still standing close to the wall behind the bed with a smile on her face. “I wonder when I am going to get used to you showing up on me like that.” Liam sat on the bed, looking at Brina who slowly walked up to the bed and sat down beside him. Her smile showed so much excitement, causing Liam to forget that she had startled him a while ago to focus on the strange look on her face. “You seem unusually excited, Brina.” “Oh, you noticed.” Brina chuckled excitedly, looking at Liam who was hoping that she could give her a solid reason behind her unusual mood. “Did you also notice something else, Emrys?” Brina lifted her eyebrows while she maintained her smile, waiting patiently to hear what Liam was going to say. “Am I supposed to notice any other thing? I am not sure I can be able to read minds.” “Look closer, Emrys. What you seek is right in front of you.” Brina blinked severally and lifted her hands as thou
Brina’s countenance showed intense struggle while she tried to make up her mind over what she was going to tell Liam who was paying keen attention, and wanted to hear whatever she was going to say to him. “I see that you are eager to get an answer, Emrys,” Brina said calmly and smiled at Liam who remained silent with so much eagerness to hear what she was going to say. “Your parents both originated from lines of supernaturals. Your father was a powerful wizard, and your mother, your mother…she was a nymph who had special abilities. They were blessed by the Divine, but their love was forbidden.” Brina paused for a while and took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she continued with a low tone. “They had duties that they were obliged to carry out in their different worlds, but they decided to abandon them for the sake of the love they had for each other. The safest place to hide was on Earth, this realm where supernatural creatures could hide without being noticed…
After a few hours of sound sleeping, Liam woke up from sleep and stood up from the bed. He went into the bathroom and took a long shower before he put on fresh clothes walked out of his chambers and headed to the dining hall. “Good evening, Lord Emrys…” “Good evening, Gladys” Liam greeted the middle-aged lady who was standing by a corner of the dining hall, smiling with her hands clasped together. “You are right on time for dinner. I was almost about to ask Mr. Alfred to knock at your door.” “Oh, I see…” Liam sighed softly while he reciprocated the smile from the middle-aged lady. “Well, I am here now. What do you have for me?”“Why don’t you just have a seat and find out yourself?” Gladys gestured to the table, and Liam grabbed the seat by the right end of the table and sat down slowly. He adjusted himself almost immediately and placed his hands on the table. “Well?” He turned to look at Gladys who quickly grabbed the dish cover to reveal the food inside the dish. “O
Gladys bowed slowly, and then she walked away while Liam looked at her until she was out of sight. He sighed softly and returned his face to Rebecca who was almost done eating the little portion of food on her plate, and dropped the fork she was holding in her right hand as soon as she saw that Liam was looking at her, pretending not to have been enjoying the food.“Miss West, you seem to be enjoying the food, I guess it isn’t as bad as you said it was.” “I just had to manage it, Lord Emrys. I didn’t want it to seem like I wanted to waste it. I promise that there are better ways to cook this. I can prove it to you by bringing some for you tomorrow.” “Oh, no. There will be no need for that, Miss West. I am totally fine.” Liam retorted at once, and with a smirk on his face while Rebecca sighed in a little disappointment even though she already knew that Liam was going to decline her offer. “I think you should finish your food before it gets really cold, I don’t think you will l
Liam walked into his bedroom at once, and when he was about to move to the bed, a thought crept into his mind, he slowly walked up to the cabinet close to his bed, opened the drawer, and pulled out the golden dagger which belonged to Circe. Sitting on the bed, and carefully holding onto it with his right hand, he looked at it for a while, observing the unique carvings on it, and the fact that he had never seen a knife as sharp as it, not even the ones used in the restaurant where he worked as a waiter. “What is so special about you?” He whispered to the dagger as though it could hear him, looking at the sharp edge, and wondering the kind of steel used in making it. “Brina mentioned that it was forged by the dwarves and one of the greatest weapons of all time. This is so handy to be a great weapon.” Liam pushed his index finger on the sharp tip of the dagger, and ur stung him at once, causing him to grunt at once while he looked at the spot on his finger where the tip of the dagg
Liam felt a strange sensation inside him as he was sucked into the portal that took him to an unknown destination. The first sight that attacked his eyes was that of darkness that had no iota of light until he began to see tiny stars that appeared slowly from the sky. “Emrys!” The male husky voice came again, echoing all over the ambiance, and making it very difficult for him to focus while he struggled to know where the voice was coming from exactly. Slowly, he landed on the hard floor that was covered with darkness, still looking around amidst the silence that surrounded the entire place as soon as the voice was dome echoing. “Emrys? Come forward. Come…” The voice echoed again, causing Liam to turn around slowly, but he was still unable to find out where the voice was coming from. “Who are you? Where am I?” Liam turned around for the umpteenth time, still looking around while he struggled with the bemusement that engulfed him. He continued to listen with full attention,
Liam stared at Lord Phaunos as he walked toward his throne, his hands were clasped behind him, and he walked very slowly as though he was waiting for Liam to join him. When Liam saw that Lord Phaunos was getting farther away from him with every step he took, he had to go after him, increasing his steps as well just to make sure he caught up with him. Lord Phaunos continued walking until he got very close to his throne before he stood still and turned toward his right with a smile on his face. “I want to take you somewhere, Emrys. Somewhere I think you need to see…” Lord Phaunos said with a low tone while Liam stepped forward, eager to know where he was going to take him. “We need a ride to that place. Hold on, I will get us one.” Lord Phaunos lifted both hands in the air while Liam looked up with a little nervousness, thinking that he was going to see the huge dragon that he dreaded. Instead, a bright light appeared in the sky, and two white-winged horses appeared at once wi
