“Thank you very much, Young Master! I’ll make sure to share your number with Kristin later” Brenda said with a huge smile on her face then she waited for Kristin to say something too, but the girl was quiet.

Brenda quickly looked at Kristin and used her eyes and expression to tell her to say something to Jeremiah.

“That’s right, thank you young master Jeremiah! It’s great that I’ll be able to reach out to you whenever I want— I mean, need your help” Kristin said, smiling awkwardly.

“You’re welcome,” Jeremiah smirked then took a deep breath, sighed, and placed his hands on his thighs.

“Anyway, since I’ve confirmed that you’re doing okay and my reason for visiting has been completed, I’ll be taking my leave and going back to my room,” Jeremiah said as he stood up.

Brenda quickly stood up too, saying “Let me open the door for—“

Jeremiah stopped her with a hand gesture.

“It’s fine. I can walk myself out so please stay with your friend” he said.

“O-okay, young master” Brenda stuttered and

    “Let me just interject before you finish that sentence. I know what Elizabeth told you to do and my answer is no” Jeremiah said and Christabel’s eyes widened.“W-what are you talking about, young mas—?” Christabel stuttered while also smiling nervously, but Jeremiah cut her off, again.“Trust me, you don’t want to play that game with me.” Jeremiah said coldly and Christabel gulped “I know the secondary objective Elizabeth gave you when she told you to act as my personal help and I know this because she did the same to Lynette”“Oh,” Christabel said, her eyes blinking multiple times. She had thought she would be able to get away with it but was surprised that Jeremiah put a stop to it before it even began. “I’m fine with you taking over from Lynette and helping me like she used to, but delete every thought concerning the second part of your assignment from your mind, got it?” Jeremiah instructed.Christabel nodded.“As you wish, young master. My job is only to help you and nothing el

    “So that’s what the old man looks like” Jeremiah commented, staring intently at David’s grandfather and knowing that both of them wouldn’t have a good relationship.As someone who had taken away the kingship from his grandson—a goal that had been David’s grandfather’s lifelong mission—the elderly man was unlikely to be fond of Jeremiah.Just then, Jeremiah furrowed his eyebrows and groaned curiously when he saw someone else’s leg stretch out of the opened car door. “Who’s that?” Jeremiah asked himself.All he could tell was that the person was female and young, but with those two information and the fact that she sat with David’s grandfather in the back seat, he could make an educated guess as to who it could have been.“Aren’t you going to help me out?” Jeremiah heard the mysterious lady say to David whose response was a frown.“What do I look like? Get down yourself or ask the chauffeur to help you” David retorted, annoyed as he stared at the lady in the car. “Grandpa, David is be

    Inside his room, Jeremiah locked eyes with Jessica, who was surprised to see him, then he saw her try to get David and their grandfather to look up at him. Satisfied with what he had seen, Jeremiah closed the window, dropped the drapes, and stepped back, which made David and their grandfather to only see a closed window when they looked up.From his room, Jeremiah heard David patronizing and ridiculing Jessica for acting like she saw something when she didn’t and he chuckled at how funny the two sibling’s dynamic was.For someone like David, who acted like he was above everyone just because he was royalty, to not be respected by his younger sister was funny to witness. Jeremiah did a little stretching to free up his joints then he became ready to tackle his day.He was about to go to the bathroom to freshen up when he heard a knock on the door and he grimaced, wondering who it could be. “Who is that?” Jeremiah asked. “Young Master, it’s Christabel” she replied and Jeremiah groaned

    Inside Reginald’s study.While David and his grandfather sat opposite Reginald and were engaged in a lighthearted discussion, Jessica, appearing bored and uninterested in what was being said, sat on the desk with her legs crossed and idly played with the items on it.She flipped through the edge of documents on the desk with her thumb, moved the pen around with her finger, and hummed the melody of whatever song popped into her head.Annoyed by her actions, David—who also didn’t want to be there but felt obligated to behave—kicked the desk discreetly, ensuring only Jessica would notice.Jessica paused what she was doing and glanced at David, who subtly signaled her to behave through his expression. She then rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue in response.She folded all her fingers except the middle one, then glanced down at it, prompting David to do the same. That’s when he realized she was telling him to go fuck himself.Jessica chuckled then continued moving the pen with the midd

    With his eyes closed, Jeremiah heard Obadiah recite the spell to test his magic but felt nothing for a whole minute which made him wonder if it was even going to work.The shaman did say that he had only used the spell on humans so could it be that it was ineffective when used on him, the reincarnation of Lord Crimson? Jeremiah was starting to second guess the whole thing when, to his surprise, he started feeling something in his core which was strange because until that moment he didn’t even know he had a core. But, because of what Obadiah was doing, it became too noticeable to ignore. It was a warm feeling that made his fingers tingle and skin sensitive to every stimulus, which said a lot because his senses were already heightened to an insane level before they started the spell.Next thing Jeremiah knew, he stopped hearing what Obadiah was saying as it went from coherent recitation to mumbling to a muffled mess and lastly to silence. Everything happened in the span of a second a

    “Flames of consumption? What’s that?” Jeremiah asked. “Truthfully, I don’t know that much about it as the only information I have is what I was able to eavesdrop from Dark Emblem’s communication channel before they made doing that near impossible to achieve,” Obadiah said and Jeremiah groaned.“Then according to the little you do know, what is it?” Jeremiah asked. “Well, it is what the name implies. Instead of flames that burn whatever they engulf, the flames of consumption absorb the energy of whatever they touch. The way oxygen is what determines the intensity and duration of a fire, the energy of whatever is being consumed is what fuels the flames of consumption and since the energy of a plant is what makes look healthy, it becoming dried and withering is the result of losing it” Obadiah said.Jeremiah grimaced and groaned in frustration as yet another question arose after hearing the explanation.“But how did this happen? I thought you were just testing my magic to figure out ho

    This was the first time since their encounter the afternoon of the previous day that they were meeting Jeremiah again and after how bad last time went, they could only be fearful of what would happen. Also, finding out that Jeremiah was the one who caught Desmond and beat him so bad he had to be hospitalized, the rest of David’s friends couldn’t help but be terrified that he was a violent maniac who could lash out at them at any moment. “Y-young master” Benson stuttered as he and all of David’s friends bowed their heads to Jeremiah. “Looks like you’re all leaving. What about David?” Jeremiah said and they all nodded, unable to maintain eye contact. “D-David would be staying back because his sister and grandfather came to visit, Y-young Master” Benson answered. Jeremiah groaned, already tired of how they were behaving towards him. The only ones who acted normal were Kristin and Brenda who couldn’t stop smiling as they looked at Jeremiah. “Good morning, young master” Brenda

    As Jeremiah headed to his room and was just about to climb the stairs, he saw David and his grandfather standing at the top of the stairs with their backs turned to him. He grimaced, wondering why they were standing there motionless. Then he realized the reason—they weren’t alone. Someone else was with them, hidden behind the two men’s imposing figures. From where he stood, Jeremiah could only see the third person’s legs and part of their clothing, making it difficult to identify them at first. However, with those small details, he was able to figure out who it was. “What did you just say to me?” David asked, a tinge of disgust in his tone. It wouldn’t take a genius to know that he felt disrespected by whatever she just said to him, but the question you now is; what exactly did she say? Christabel gulped, her eyes blinking multiple times to emphasize her nerves. “I-I said that I apologize but I won’t be able to carry out the task you gave as I obey a new master now,” Chris

    Just like with Daniel back at the house a couple of days ago, Jeremiah told Victoria all about his family and she got increasingly shocked the more information he conveyed. And just like with Daniel, he omitted anything that had to do with the fact that he was not from this world but a Dragon that reincarnated.With her eyes widened, Victoria just sat there, having no idea she had been quiet for a full thirty seconds since Jeremiah stopped talking. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” He asked, snapping Victoria back to her senses.“I’m sorry, I was just taken aback for a moment but I’m fine now. I can’t believe I’m sitting at the same table and having a date with the future king of Crimson Fall. This is insane” she said, unsure whether she should smile or be nervous, but leaning towards nervousness. Jeremiah chuckled.“You don’t have to be nervous around me, you know that right? It’s not like I changed into an all-new person. I’m still the same Jeremiah who you used to get coffee fr

    The dining hall was themed like the ocean and with the blue ambiance of the entire room, Victoria’s red dress popped and became the center of attention.All four walls of the dining hall had transformed into a display of the deep blue sea, showcasing different fish life like a big aquarium. Just like the cold they had felt when the elevator changed into a space-themed interior, the dining hall had a salty and fresh smell to it that made the whole thing more believable.Like that wasn’t crazy enough, swimming through the open space of the dining hall were holographic fishes and the beautiful in design perfect in scale. "Jeremiah, look at that!" Victoria said as she pointed at one of the holographic fishes that was her favorite aquatic life.Jeremiah grimaced, looking impressed by the fish which was one he had never seen before."Wow, this is amazing!" Victoria smiled, completely mesmerized by the showcase and before she could feed her eyes to her heart's content, Presley spoke out."Y

    “It hasn’t been designed yet? Y’all made it seem like something so grand when it hasn’t been designed yet? Is this some kind of sick joke or something?” Presley looked at him with surprise.“Oh, Mister Wellings didn’t tell you about this? I’m terribly sorry, sir. Since you took his place to be here, I thought you would have been informed about the workings of the dining hall but you weren’t. It’s my fault for not being proactive enough and asking what you knew before taking you here because it looks like we’re up to no good” Presley said. “The workings of the dining hall? What does that mean?” Jeremiah asked, managing his annoyance.“Well, Chandler over there is an architect as you heard me say before and the walls of this room, just like the elevator and the passage we just walked through are lined with resonance crystals, although these ones are stronger”Jeremiah grimaced. “Resonance crystals? What are you talking about?” Victoria asked. “Well, madam, resonance Crystals are a s

    Jeremiah and Victoria looked all around the place and just like the elevator, the Emperor floor was also themed like the solar system but because of the size, it felt like they were in the vastness of space.Again, Jeremiah found it intriguing that he was just thinking about his father’s planetarium and space then all of a sudden everything changed to match that like it was some kind of magic. "Thank you," Jeremiah said then looked at the two hosts individually and asked, "So which one of you should I address from now on, or is it going to be both of you?""That would be me, sir. My name is Presley Montgomery and I'll be your host for the evening" the male host said with a hand on his chest as he bowed in respect.“The Emperor floor offers two hosts and leaves it to the guests to choose who they want to be catered by. Typically a man goes with a man and a woman goes with a woman but the option to pick it’s still there, so if you want to pick my colleague, Annabelle Grimes, then that

    “Are you ready to go up?” Jeremiah asked Victoria. Feeling a bit nervous because she wasn’t sure of what was going to happen next, she moved in closer to Jeremiah and nodded.“Yes, I’m ready” she replied.“Alright,” Jeremiah said then focused on the buttons there.To indicate how increasingly luxurious the floors became the higher up you go, the elevator buttons were used to showcase that. Each floor had unique and beautiful buttons assigned to it in the already alluring and stylized gold-plated panel.There was one specific button out of all the rest that looked like it was the most important button. As such, that button was the highest one in the lineup with a notable gap between it and the ones directly underneath.That meant that the level of luxury afforded between the room that that button led to and the one under it were day and night apart which could only mean one thing.“The Emperor floor,” Jeremiah said the moment he identified the button and wasted no time pressing it.Th

    “No, Master Jeremiah didn’t lose to me” Wellings replied and Victoria grimaced in surprise.“Wait, then does that mean you lost against him?” She said, shocked.She couldn’t fathom how someone like Wellings could lose to Jeremiah in an auction when auctions are won based on money.Was Welling’s saying that Jeremiah was richer than him? But that’s not possible, right?Wellings chuckled.“Not at all” he replied and that didn’t help to clear Victoria on what had happened.“So was it someone else? Did you two lose to another bidder?” She asked, trying her best to understand.“I did, but not Master Jeremiah” Wellings answered.Victoria tilted her head as she asked “What does that mean?”“Let me put it like this. I won something and lost some in that auction, but Master Jeremiah on the other hand only bided for one item which he won”Victoria furrowed her eyebrows.“Jeremiah beat the other bidders for the item? Is that what you’re trying to say”She wasn’t trying to belittle Jeremiah with h

    “I suppose you’ve noticed that this building isn’t what it used to be a year ago,” Wellings said and Jeremiah grimaced.Since Jeremiah had been poor for most of his life which only changed less than a month ago, he didn’t know that much about high-end restaurants like The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant or any other one out there.The only reason he did was that Mary used to nag him about going to one every anniversary they had since they started dating, each time growing increasingly frustrated when he said he couldn’t take her because of his mother’s health issues and other responsibilities that needed the money.Her nagging only stopped after they got married and Jeremiah noticed that she hadn’t said anything about spending their anniversary as a dinner date in The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant.Jeremiah had just thought that she had finally understood his financial challenges and had decided to not bother him about something he couldn’t afford. Little did he know that she was

    At the moment, Jeremiah was very suspicious of Wellings because of Grey, who had also known his identity even though he hadn’t been the one who told either of them. Now, the question was whether Wellings was another member of Dark Emblem, because if he was then things wouldn’t go well for him. After how angry Grey had made Jeremiah during their last encounter, any member of Dark Emblem who Jeremiah came across would pay the price for the things that happened. Still, Jeremiah gave Wellings the benefit of the doubt, having a feeling that he wasn’t a member of Dark Emblem because of one complex reason; the fact that Wellings was tricked by Grey’s illusion spell and had communicated with Martha in the auction house. Now, Wellings could have been pretending that she was real, just like Grey was. But, the way their interaction was very hostile proved that he wasn’t playing any tricks. Why argue with someone he knew was an illusion and risk escalating the situation to a point that might

    Jeremiah and Victoria walked into the Reyal Darling Gourmet Restaurant and were immediately greeted by the spectacular ambiance and marvelous interior designs. The air smelled and tasted like something from the past, having a welcoming feeling about it that dropped the guard of each individual person who was enveloped by it.It was like walking into a different realm that prided itself in providing the best luxury and comfort possible and this was just the entrance. How heightened would those feelings be in the main dining?The small number of staff members Jeremiah and Victoria had seen all seemed professional in their respective roles and everything came together like a well-oiled machine. “Welcome, sir. Please enjoy your time at The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant” greeted the staff who was on Jeremiah’s side of the entrance while the staff by Victoria’s side greeted her too.The beautiful nurse couldn’t help but smile as she had never experienced such excitement before.
