Chapter 33.Draco’s POV
Had I not taken my precaution, this would have been the sure end of myself.
Darn it!
I was so close to getting to the bottom of this.
Ivory Dagger.
I wasn’t expecting it. That was what took me off guard.
It was only because of her presence that I was still moving.
Liana. A Selected One in my possession. I was able to disappear in spite of being stabbed by the Ivory Dagger, only because of her presence.
She was the only one I could think of at the moment.
It took all my strengths to appear right inside my harem.
” Draco! ”
I heard her gasping. Her footsteps made it evident that she ran towards me. Her hands grabbed my body, before it fell, with full force over her.
I could feel her delicate frame get crushed under my weight. But she didn’t make a single sound.
She pulled her hand out from my weight and brought it in front of her face.
” Blood! ”
The single syllabus from her mouth made the word seem as heavy as a mountain.
Then she jerked me back.
” Draco! You are bleeding.
Draco! Draco! ”
I could feel my eyes giving away. I was on the brink of loosing my consciousness. It was a dangerous situation.
“Liana! ”
I barely managed to whisper her name.
” Yes. Yes. I am right here. Right here. Tell me. ”
She eagerly gave me her arms for support and her ears.
” Where is Damian? ”
my whisper was at that moment, barely audible.
” Damian? He is sleeping. I tucked him in his bed myself.
Why? Why do you ask? Shouldn’t I call someone to help take you to the Royal Infirmary? ”
She answered and then asked.
” No. No.
Nobody should know about this.
Run and bring Damian here. We will leave straight for your world. ”
I grabbed the nearest pillar. I wasn’t sure if I could survive after all.
” My world? Draco, you are hurt. I think your world has the best of medicines. They are each almost a miracle. Let’s get you treated first. We can go after that.
Alright? ”
” JUST DO AS YOU ARE TOLD! ”
I didn’t know I had the strength to bark. But I did. If anything was to happen to me, it was not going to happen in such humiliation.
I was going to make sure they didn’t get what they were waiting for.
I saw her run at that command. It didn’t take her long to return with Damian in her arms.
I stood up with my remaining strength . Then stood up. Grabbed her hands.
The moment my feet stepped on the cold hard floor of her house, I felt the colours in front of my eyes completely darken. I had completely blacked out.
” Draco… Draco…. ”
I could hear the ring of her voice . It slowly faded into oblivion.
The darkness around me intensified. I found myself in the middle of nowhere. Neither air nor ground. Neither the land nor the ocean. It was literally nowhere.
” Hey…. ”
My voice echoed through the nothingness.
” Hey… Hey… ”
I tried searching for something. I didn’t know what. May be a light. A landmark. Something.
But all I got was my echo, mocking me in my loneliness.
I ventured to step a foot forward. It dipped. It dipped in something. Liquid?
No. Liquid didn’t bounce back. I retracted my step.
This was the first time ever in my life that I was feeling so worthless. Helpless. And that feel was killing me more from the inside.
” Draco…. ”
Suddenly a voice tore through the darkness. I turned my head swiftly in that direction.
” Draco…. ”
It came again. This time from a different side.
I flipped my whole body with so much force that I almost swung.
” Draco….. Draco…. Can you hear me? Draco? ”
This time I spied a faint opening in that dark, god for saken site. A little glimmer of white light.
” Draco…. ”
I was now sure the voice came from that direction.
” Draco… Try to open your eyes if you can hear me. ”
It was Liana. Calling me back to my senses.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as I realised, my eyes shot open.
I found that I was lying on her bed. In her house. In her room.
The dagger wound on my chest was cleaned and bandaged.
I looked over myself. I was in the clothes the humans wore. I looked around. Liana was bent over my face.
” Thank goodness you came around.
You almost scared me Draco! ”
Then without giving me any more room to react, she hugged me in her tight embrace.
” Thank goodness Draco. I was so scared. You had been out for three days.
I thought I was going to loose you. Today your vitals started dropping at an alarming pace. I was so lost. I didn’t know what to expect. ”
Her lips planted a quick kiss on my forehead.
” Three days… ”
I wondered aloud. Calculating it’s equivalent in our Dragon Realm.
But she wasn’t listening.
” Damian… Damian… ” she was yelling on top of her voice. I was about to roll my eyes when I suddenly saw a tiny face, floating in our direction.
” Isn’t it cool! ” Liana chirped like a proud hen.
” Damian learnt to fly. All by himself over just the last three days. I had been so worried for you. But he didn’t fail to cheer me up. ”
She turned towards Damian.
” Come on Damian. Look how Dada has woken up now! Come on. Come on my good boy”
She was calling him like a little puppy. I watched her with disgust, then turned towards Damian to see how his wings had flared.
That boy. He had some real temper issues. He was frowning at me. When I frowned back, he had the audacity to make a face at me, turn his back and run away.
” Damian… ”
Liana stood up. Shocked. She apparently had not seen what had happened between the two of us.
” Damian. Wait. Come back.
Damian… ”
She looked apologetically at me. Then ran after my little devil.
” Damian, come back here. That’s so rude Damian. How can you be like that in front of your father. “
