Liam continued to stare at the beautiful lady for a while, unable to resist the urge to admire her. Everything about her made him want to know more about her, her smile, great beauty, and especially her good sense of humor. “It’s really nice to meet you, Maya. I wonder what a pretty girl like you is doing in a place like this.” Liam looked around the tavern, expressing his displeasure. “Well, not everyone is opportune to come from a rich family like you. I am sure you have someone who cooks for you.” Maya retorted at once, cleaning the inside of one of the glasses with the white napkin she grabbed from the counter below her. “And you can tell this by merely looking at me?” Lim asked with a voice a little above a whisper, looking at Maya who slowly lifted her face from the glass she was carefully holding onto, and nodded in response.“Am I wrong? Don’t you have someone who cooks for you?” Maya asked confidently, but Liam was unable to give her a response at once. He chuckled sof
Surprisingly, and as opposed to what Maya thought, Liam was very calm even when Mr. Gary moved the dagger close to his face. Liam didn’t bother to flinch even though he was wary of the man with a golden tooth. “Who are you?” Mr. Gary was forced to ask when he sensed the aura that was emitting from Liam who stood his ground, resisting every form of intimidation from him.“My name is Emrys, Emrys Perkins,” Liam said with a low tone while his hands remained in the air. “Emrys?” Mr. Gary said with a whisper, looking at Liam while he tried to see if his face was going to be familiar just like his name. “Yes, Mr. Gary. My name is Emrys, and I believe that you have something that I desperately need.” Liam said with a nod, and then he waited for a few seconds just to be sure the middle-aged man was not going to attack before he lowered his hands and sighed heavily. “I knew it! I knew that the prophecies were true! I knew that you were going to come someday! You don’t know how long I
Mr. Gary waited for a few seconds after Liam asked him the question about the prophecy. From the look on his face, it was obvious that he had a lot to say, but he was looking for the best way to say it. He sighed heavily, and then he walked toward a corner of the storeroom where he stood, waiting for Liam who joined him at once. “My family belongs to a line of Druids, a group of ancient teachers, magicians, and priests who believe in the Divine. We have existed for centuries, and have lived discreetly on Earth out of the knowledge of ordinary Humans who are not gifted just like myself.” Liam couldn’t help but listen attentively to everything the middle-aged man was saying. At that moment, he realized that there were many other things that he didn’t know about about, and his curiosity lingered. Mr. Gary paused for a few seconds, and when he was certain that the young man standing in front of him was really paying attention, he cleared his throat and continued. “Even before th
Andy drove the car back to the castle, and as soon as he parked in front of the huge mansion, Liam alighted from the car, and walked into the building after putting the black box into his pocket in order to avoid any form of inquisition. As he ascended the stairs, the words he heard from Mr. Gary kept on resounding in his ears, and he tried to figure out what he meant by a familiar enemy. “Is Lord Darius related to me in any way?” He whispered only to his hearing, and when he was done with the last step of the staircase, he stood still, staring at space while he continued going through the ideas that crept into his mind.He had almost forgotten that he was meant to do something when he quickly snapped out of his long thought, and sighed heavily. “Those were really strange words.” He said just before he continued walking to his chambers with slow but steady steps. The moment he shut the door behind him, he walked to the cabinet beside his bed, and then pulled out the drawer.
Liam looked at Brina for a few seconds without saying a word, but several thoughts ran through his mind amidst the silence in the room. “What is it, Emrys? What is going on in your mind, Warlord?”“The message say only the blood of an heir can be able to make the words visible. How am I supposed to get the blood of an heir?”“You are an heir, Emrys. The reincarnation of Lord Phaunos himself, the first and most powerful heir. The message is clear, Emrys…” Brina nodded to affirm her words, looking at Liam with a bright smile on her face.“My blood…” Liam looked at the book for a few seconds, and when he had managed to resolve the conflict within him, he sighed heavily and grabbed the book before placing it back on the bed. He opened to the first page of the book while Brina took two steps forward with her eyes focused on the book on the bed. Slowly, he pulled out the dagger from his pants, and then he lifted his left palm to his face for a few seconds, trying to gather enough
Liam thought about the words he heard from Brina for a few seconds, and then he sighed heavily before returning his eyes to the book. He looked at the pictures of the elementals for a while before he flipped to the next page. Just like Brina explained, it was explained that the green stone that he wielded was the Master stone and the strongest link to the other stones which could be able to summon the other stones if they were close by. “I am going to leave you to study as much as you can, Emrys. Remember, mastering the art of perfection should be your first priority. Every other thing will follow eventually.” Brina said calmly, and before Liam could even think of a response to give to her, she vanished. “You didn’t even wait to hear what I wanted to say,” Liam said with a whisper, looking at the spot where Brina was standing as though she was still there. He sighed heavily just before he returned his eyes to the book, and carried it up with both hands to the table by the corn
Liam thought about the words he heard from the Butler while he struggled with the hunger that was inside him. The fact that he was already ready to eat breakfast before Alfred came with the message made him grunt slightly while he tried to maintain a smile on his face. “Who could that be?” He said with a whisper just before he pushed the chair backward and walked toward the Butler who turned around slowly and started walking toward the living room. Liam was still wondering who the guest was when his eyes caught sight of the last person he expected to be in his mansion.“Greetings, Lord Emrys.” Silas Prescott greeted, and then he started walking toward Liam who stood still with his brows lifted to form a furrow. “Mr. Prescott? I wasn’t expecting to see you.” “Well, I didn’t expect myself to be here this morning. But I realized that it was necessary for me to be here.” Silas stood in front of Liam and offered him a handshake. “I see. Well, you are here, we might as well get t
Silas paused for a while just to make sure that Liam was listening to him before he continued with so much enthusiasm written all over his face. At that moment, Liam was able to see a desperate man who could do anything just to amass great wealth and power, but he wasn’t surprised at all as he was expecting him to be that way. “We can take advantage of the war going on in some of the countries in Europe and Asia, we can even take advantage of the terrorism in most parts of Africa. Imagine the great amount of power we would have if we united the money we have and my connections, not even the government of the country or even the military will be able to stop us.”The moment Silas was done talking, he waited to hear what Liam was going to say, and even though he was silent for a while, he didn’t mind as he was hopeful that he was going to love his business idea. Liam forced a smile on his face while he looked at Silas who was still waiting to hear a response from him. The silence
