Chapter 161-170

Chapter 161 – Only Chance
Zolan knew that he had to take Evie away the moment he saw the dark dragon approaching the watchtower. Even more so, it was because the figure riding on that dragon was Lucius, but yet… not Lucius! Currently, there is no predicting what could happen once Evie’s ‘father’ come closer with that dragon he was riding on. Zolan is willing to bet his right arm that nothing good would come out of it, though.

He knew he could no longer delay. He must stop with his ridiculous blind faith in her that she would somehow be able to change something. He must take her away now before it is too late!

However, just as Zolan was about to make his move to grab her and leap away, he saw a glowing light coming from her chest. And it seemed as though that glow is slowly spreading from its source. The sight halted him in his tracks and hesitation gripped him hard. What is happening here?

Remembering that the glow was exactly the same as the glow coming from the necklace that Prince Gavriel had him investigate not too long ago, Zolan immediately realized she was wearing the necklace and had tucked it under her dress. But why was it glowing only now? Was there something nearby that triggered it to behave this way? Or was it something within her which is causing this phenomenon to occur again?

The vampire’s eyes widened when he realized it glowed even brighter when the Dragon began to approach them. He whipped his head back and saw the dragon getting closer and closer, making him almost certain in his mind that it was truly aiming for the watchtower. The princess! He had been distracted from his aim in protecting Evie after seeing that glow coming from her necklace.

Panic filled his eyes and he had made a decision right there and then. He was going to take her away now. If something happens to her, even a single scratch… it would be over! To be more specific, his life would be over. His Highness Prince Gavriel would flay him alive.

Zolan finally moved, at that same moment the archer released an arrow to shoot at the approaching dragon. But then again, Zolan was unable to move his feet any further at the sight that welcomed him the second he looked back at the princess with the intention on taking her away.
