Chapter 159 “What do you mean by that?” Alaric tightened his grip on Violet’s wrist, a deep, gnawing fear settling in his gut. He didn’t want to let go, not when Violet looked like she might slip away forever. Alaric didn’t know what this encounter would mean for them—for their
Chapter 158 “I can get you out of here,” a voice echoed from another cell. Everyone turned to the right. A shadowy figure cloaked entirely in black sat motionless inside. No face, no hands, no legs—nothing was visible beneath the fabric. Without hesitation, Leon activated his skill. [Name: Rees Krambelbar]
Chapter 158 Violet kissed him back, her hands tentatively lifting his shirt up, fingers grazing over the hard ridges of muscle. Fuck. The guy was built like a rock. However, no matter how tantalizing Griffin’s rock hard abs were, a name echoed in her mind. Alaric. He was watching them
Chapter 157 “So, where are the Dark Elves?” Leon asked, his voice calm and unreadable as he glanced at Jennifer. “At the end of the hall,” she replied quietly, continuing forward. As they walked deeper into the corridor, faint voices echoed from the end. The sound grew clearer with each
Chapter 157 Violet stood alone in the darkened area, a creeping unease curling in her stomach especially as she stared at the forest behind her. She shuddered, wrapping her arms around herself. The shadows between the trees stretched unnervingly and though she wasn’t a child anymore, scared of the dark
Chapter 156 *Creak* “How can I hel—” before Jennifer could finish her sentence, Fruela yanked her into the room and clamped a hand tightly over her mouth. Her eyes widened in terror the moment she saw the bloodied corpses scattered across the floor. Her breathing quickened. Her legs trembled. She
Chapter 156 “I don’t think I can do this anymore,” Violet sobbed, her voice breaking like shattered glass. The guilt and judgement she was about to face made her unable to look him in the eyes. “Hey, hey,” Alaric’s voice was soothing, gentle yet firm as he lifted her face,
Chapter 155 As soon as Leon stepped inside the slave trading firm, a sweet, intoxicating scent filled his senses. “Welcome, sir,” a soft voice greeted him. A young, strikingly attractive girl approached with a smile, her short red dress clinging tightly to her curves. “Hi,” Leon replied casually, returning the
Chapter 155 “I would never be like you!” How many nights had she spent, staring at the ceiling of the trailer, sometimes the open sky, and whispering it to herself like a prayer? How many times had she spat those words right into Nancy’s face, burning with determination, with fury,
Chapter 154 The Western District—infamous for its brothels, slave trading firms, and every kind of black business you could think of. Despite its reputation, it was one of the highest tax-paying, most profitable districts in the entire human kingdom. *Screech* The wagon came to a sudden stop in front of
Chapter 154 “Violet?” “Huh, what?” The sound of her name jerked Violet back to reality, and she realized, to her horror, that Griffin had been talking this whole time while her mind had been a thousand miles away. “You okay?” His voice was casual, but there was a thread of
Chapter 153 “…ter.” “…ster.” “Master.” *Blink-Blink* Leon slowly opened his eyes and found Elis standing right in front of him. “Hmm…?” “Master, it’s been five hours. You ordered me to wake you after five hours, should I wait another five hours ?” Elis asked, her voice flat and emotionless. “Right…”
Chapter 153 Violet knew a mistake when she saw one, and right now, wearing this, appearing this way, was one. But then again, she had roommates who had literally ambushed her, wrestling her into submission with zero regard for her personal autonomy. Lila and Daisy had done her hair, styling
Chapter 152 Leon, Kai, Reina, and Fruela stood before the dungeon’s entrance. “Um… Can I take the blindfold off now?” Kai asked, his voice uncertain. “Wait till we’re on the stairs. Then you can take it off,” Leon said, a faint smile curling his lips. “Alright…” Kai nodded. As they
Chapter 152 “And finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived! We are live at the bonfire party tonight!”Nicole spoke into the camera with excitement as she recorded for her blog. Ever since the meteoric rise of The Oracle, every aspiring student journalist and gossip columnist had been
Chapter 151 Leon stood in front of Dekken’s Smithy, staring at the closed gate with a blank expression. “Why the hell is this guy taking so long to open?” he muttered and knocked again. *Knock-knock* *Click* The door swung open sharply. Gerald stood there, his face twisted in the usual
Chapter 151 A piercing scream snatched Violet from her peaceful slumber, jolting her awake like a gunshot in the dead of night. With her heart pounding, she shot up in bed, blinking rapidly as she struggled to remember where she was. Right. Her dorm. Before she could even exhale in
Chapter 150 As Leon walked out of the Noble District, he noticed dozens of eyes turning their way. Most of them—men. And most of them weren’t looking at him. They were staring at her. Reina kept her eyes lowered, walking close beside Leon, but it didn’t matter. ‘Hmm…? She must’ve
Chapter 150 Asher Nightshade must have slipped into the room while they had been asleep, and for a strange, irrational reason, it annoyed Roman that he had waltzed in, uninvited, into a moment that belonged only to him and Violet. He shouldn’t have cared, but damn it, he did. However,
Chapter 149 “Sister… what is wrong with you? Why aren’t you speaking anything ?” Rubin asked, his expression twisted in confusion as he stepped inside the room. His eyes flicked to Reina, standing silent, frozen. “I-I—” “Because she can’t,” a deep, calm voice echoed from behind. “What the—!?” Rubin flinched,
