People in the palace ballroom turned towards the door. More and more people were coming. Some of them had entered the palace ballroom. Dielh looked at them with bulging eyes. The Wendigo slowly lowered the corpse he had lifted and placed it back on the floor.“How did you guys get in?” asked Dielh.“Why Dielh? Are you scared? You’re afraid that the people will see the true form of the crown prince of the Vain Dominion kingdom?”“You ordered them in!” Dielh guessed right away.“Yes, let the people see Greraver’s cruelty. Let them see the Wendigo in The Prince. Let all those rumors come true before their eyes!”Some of the men from the commoner crowd started shouting.“How can a monster be our king?”“He will kill us like this!”“If knights and warriors can die so easily at his hands, how much less are we commoners?”“We won’t want Prince Greraver to become king!”“Yes! We won’t let him!” The people in the palace ballroom shouted in the same voice.“No! You guys are wrong! Greraver beca
People became panicked and confused. They screamed and tried to get out of the palace ballroom. Outside the palace, the ballroom was the same. The sunny morning in the Vain Dominion kingdom turned pitch black. Fear gripped not only the people but even the royal soldiers. They ran aimlessly and bumped into each other.A few seconds later, everything was back to normal. Light replaces darkness as before. Zulniex looked at where Greraver and Dielh were standing. Both disappeared!Greraver and Dielh’s bodies were thrown onto the grass in the middle of the forest. Both were still conscious, with many injuries all over their bodies.“Where are we, Dielh?” asked Greraver, muttering. Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked around.“I heard the sound of running water. Are we in heaven already? Some time ago, I felt like I was flying.”Greraver tried to sit up. His eyes scanned the surroundings. They lay on the grass that grew on the banks of the river. He and Dielh had walked through this forest
They arrived at Teraus’ house at night. After dinner, everyone sat around a large wooden table. The candles burning in front of them reflected the light on their faces. Greraver and Queen Venes’ faces looked so sad.“We not strength enough to fight Zulniex. Do not be sad, Prince. The purpose of your coming to the kingdom of Vain Dominion has been accomplished. You showed that you are still alive.” Teraus said everything with a calm and dignified face.“What does it mean? I couldn’t get Teraus to leave my kingdom.” Greraver felt hopeless.“That meant, now the entire kingdom knows that you are still alive.”“But, they hate Greraver. The people would agree and support it if Reagan replaced Greraver. They have seen the figure of Greraver, so far has only been a rumor.” The Queen of Venes’ low voice illustrated sorrow.“No problem, as long as Greraver is alive, Reagan will not be able to ascend to become crown prince. Those were Vain Dominion’s working rules. If they persist, disaster and
“You know her?” Dielh asked Greraver.“She is Zesa,” Greraver answered.He walked away, leaving Dielh, who stood stunned in the doorway. Greraver approached Zesa. Under the moonlight, Zesa’s beauty looked even more sparkling. Heaven’s beauty that no one has ever seen.“My father wants to meet you,” Zesa said.“Why? Anything important?” asked Greraver.Zesa’s beautiful eyes stared straight at Greraver as they stood face to face. Zesa’s heart shook. After all this time, she finally got close to her future husband. Greraver looked very different from the Greraver she met a few moments ago.Zesa imagined they were a very compatible couple. A princess from a heaven kingdom unites with a king from the most enormous empire in Europe. They just need to take the throne from Zulniex and make the love story perfect.Seeing Seza stay silent and keep looking at him, Greraver frowned.“Zesa.”“Oh yes. My dad wants to talk about something. He has already got news of your failed invasion of the Vain
Queen Venes saw Greraver sitting on a large rock in Teraus’ backyard. Greraver’s face turned upward. He was like welcoming the morning sun that fell on his handsome face.The wind blew slowly through the air. A peaceful morning as beautiful as the mood of Queen Venes. He was the Prince of the Vain Dominion kingdom that she had longed for. Queen Venes walked over to Greraver.“Even though I haven’t seen you for the past fifteen years. But I’m very sure you inherit everything that is in Destian.”Greraver turned his head and looked at his mother.“I haven’t reached the stage I should be. The kingdom is still under Zulniex’s rule.”“Destian must be very proud of your bravery.”“Do you know about the relationship between father and the heavenly king?”“You mean about your arranged marriage with Zesa?” Queen Venes smiled. “She’s a very pretty girl, isn’t she?” he continued.“She comes from the kingdom of heaven. Of course, Zesa is a beautiful girl. King Athalla Warias knows many things abo
“The suffering of the people of Vain Dominion must end soon. How can I reach the next level of power quickly?” Greraver’s eyes shone with ambition while he looked at Teraus.“That level of power can only be attained through time and process, Prince. Only humans with two souls like you are required to break through that level. If you don’t succeed, then someday, the Wendigo will completely possess you. You will lose yourself.” replied Teraus.“You mean the Wendigo is the one who’s going to set me up? He will control when I can become human?”“That’s right. You could say the Wendigo is actually alive and you’re trapped in your own body.”“That can’t be happening! I’ve come so far!” Greraver growled.Queen Venes had been standing around and listening to their conversation. She looked at Greraver with a proud look. Her belief in the Prince’s resurrection has been proven. The ambition she saw in Greraver was precisely the same as the ambition she had seen in Destian.During her time as Que
“I’ve never heard of black and white witches,” Dielh muttered.He was busy preparing supplies for their trip. Once Greraver said they would head to the valley of the white magicians, Dielh immediately agreed. He had already promised to accompany Greraver wherever the Prince went.Since they left the palace, Dielh felt more and more excited. New experiences and adventures were always a challenge for him.“You never heard of it? So, in life, what do you hear?” said Graver cynically.“Hey! I was raised by a War General. My father trained me to take his place. He trained me how to fight, take up arms and win fights. I haven’t had a chance to learn anything about power and magic and I’m stranded here with a prince.”“Such power is important for us to have. Teraus’ explanation, Darius and my mother, has made me realize that our enemy is not just another kingdom. Every kingdom and people who have ambition they will have supporters behind it. A power that only fighting and weapons will not wi
“Zesa,” said Greraver.Everyone already knew the relationship between Zesa and Greraver. They smiled knowingly when Zesa appeared. The princess of the Siarya kingdom looked very beautiful and glittered in the sun. Incomparable celestial beauty. With blue clothes hanging down to the ground, Seza looked at Greraver with deep eyes.“I coma to pick up Queen Venes to the kingdom of Siarya Heaven. Until you take back Bright River, Queen Venes will stay with me.”“Is your kingdom safe for humans to live in?”“You’ve been there before, right? Now you are alive and well.”“I mean, my mom might be staying there a long time. Will she be able to adapt? Siarya is no ordinary kingdom.”“When I have offered, then I will prepare everything. I will kae all easy for Queen Venes. You need not worry, Prince. After all, the Queen of Venes was a tough woman. She will be fine with us.”Greraver turned his gaze to Queen Venes. Seza felt that Greraver was ignoring her, so she shifted her position to the side
