Chapter 69: Phase 1 of the attack begins

Bruno sighed. "Okay you can go. Just be careful, the royals are not people you want to mingle with".

I nodded and stepped out wondering what he meant by the royals are not people you want to mingle with. Searᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With no duty I now had ample time for a well needed nap.

I headed for my room and crashed on the bed.

I woke up much later feeling refreshed.

I washed my face and headed to the vegetable stall to meet the prince.

What did he want to talk about? I wondered but I didn't have the answer to it.

Perhaps he just wanted a friend to hang with and he saw me as exotic to the castle.

Perhaps he wanted to talk to me about Zoe. If that was the case I would tell him very quickly that I wasn't going to be a bother and he was free to talk to her whenever he wanted.

Zoe and I weren't even an item and I wouldn't risk enemity with the prince.

Not when I could easily get any girl I wanted.

I hadn't even wrapped things up with Bella or Emily yet.

The sun burned somewhat hotly and the gentle breeze didn't make me feel any cooler.

I wiped off the sweat off my forehead as I stood opposite the vegetable stall.

How long would I have to wait for the prince to arrive?

Was I even supposed to stay directly in front of the stall or opposite it?

I supposed that didn't matter much in the scheme of things.

The hooded man beside me shifted as if he was uncomfortable.

He had been there when I got to the spot I was at now and even though the distance between us was wide at first, I noticed it had narrowed.

I was about ask him what his deal was when he smiled.

I saw his face clearly and frowned. "Damon?"

His smile grew wider. "Hey."

"Why are you hiding under a hood?" I asked him, bemused.

"Safety purposes". He said with a shrug. "Let's go."

"Go where?" I asked as I followed him.

"I have a spot". Damon said simply as he led me.

If before I thought something was fishy about the whole situation, now alarm bells rang in my head.

There was a reason the prince was wearing a hood. He didn't want to be seen as he walked off with me to an unknown place.

Why would he do that unless he planned to do something sinister?

I tensed up my body for fight or flight at any point in time and kept walking behind him.

Even if he managed to be a stronger mage than me, I was confident if he couldn't be physically stronger.

We headed for a deserted part of town and as we walked further I was on edge.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"Shhh. It's a surprise". he replied and kept on walking.

After a while we got to a secluded part of town.

Damon stopped at a small tree.

Standing under the tree were three people.

One was a slightly muscular man and the other two were pretty girls.

The first girl had long black hair that framed a cute baby face.

Her cheeks were accentuated with pink blush and she huge melons that made me sure she felt a lot of back pain.

The second girl was taller and slimmer. Her boobs were not as huge as the first girl but they were impressive too. Her blonde hair was waist length and she had a shy look that made me want to possess her immediately.

"Thanks Odion". He said and the muscular guy bowed in reply before stepping aside.

Damon turned to me with a smile. "So… which one do you prefer?"

"Which one do I prefer?" I was confused.

"Yeah. I'll give one to you right here right now. Just choose".

"I don't understand, why are you giving me a girl?"

Damon sighed. "Think of it as bribe, in exchange for your lady friend".

Realization dawned on me.

"Oh, you don't need to…" I started to protest but he cut in.

"No, no I insist. Think of it as a good will package".

I was about to protest again when Odion spoke.

"Uhmm.. my prince?"

"What?" Damon snapped.

"You need to see this". Odion replied.

"This better be important". Damon said angrily and followed the direction of his gaze.

The top of the castle was visible from here. There was singular red line that projected from the top and reached far into the sky, visible for all to see.

Damon gasped with horror.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"That red line, the castle is being attacked".
