MEILIN’S REBORN (Battle Of The Heart And Throne)

Draco kept his eyes on Nevaeh as he watched her gulp the drink all in a go with her eyes tightly closed.

When she was done with drinking, she dropped the cup and began painting. It was like she had just won a lottery and deserves the greatest reward for drinking that wine just now.

“What’s wrong?” He asked and she stared at him, she began seeing double and waited! Why was she suddenly feeling funny?

If she stands up from this chair and runs now then it’ll give him the chance to prove his suspicions were correct but she really needs to leave or she might collapse at his front cause from the feel of things, it’s like the medicine was standing to take effect already.

“Nothing my lord, it’s just that I’m not really a good drinker so I think this one is making me feel a bit tipsy, I better leave now” she stood up and began rushing out of the room but before she could get to the door handle, he suddenly grabbed her back and made her face him.

“Where to? We aren’t done with our dinner yet,” he said.

“Let go of me!” She seethed.

For some unknown reason, her insides were starting to burn already, she was really burning and just by looking at his face alone was making it worse.

Wait, why was she feeling this way? What kind of poison did Oprah give to her?

“I said let go!” She tried pushing his hands but he didn’t let her go.

“Why do you look so familiar?” He asked, gazing at her face from head to toes.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about… Ouch!” She couldn’t even complete what she was about to say when her body burnt even more.

The heat was unbearable, it was like she needed a man with this instinct and the demon at her front kept looking at her like he couldn’t see her reactions.

With force, she pushed his hands off hers then searched her dress for the antidote of the poison, she didn’t even care anymore, she was feeling too aroused right now and she could tell that it was because of that poison that she had taken.

Draco just crossed his arms as he stared nonchalantly, no one could tell what he was thinking at this moment, his gaze and looks remained cold as usual.

Nevaeh drank the antidote but she didn’t feel any sign of herself healing. The antidote was not working and her body was beginning to burn even more.

Draco moved closer to her and she moved back, squeezing herself tightly to the door. She would rather die than to get close to this demon right here.

“You were trying to poison me?” He asked slowly and she only just glared at him, sweats were leaking from her face already.

“Interesting” he added and went back to his chair to sit and continue watching her.

Nevaeh couldn’t take it anymore, she wanted to remove her clothes.

“It’s really hot in here, I can’t take it” tears came out of her eyes.

“If you can’t take it then why would you try to poison me?” He asked back.

“You’ll never understand” she seethed and slowly went down, clutching herself tightly on the floor.

Her face was already turning pink but Draco still looked like it didn’t care.

“I’m going to die like this aren’t I?” She asked with a thick glare.

Her voice was shaking and her lips were turning white.

“You won’t die only if I …

“I don’t want you to touch me!!” She spatted and cried out in pain before giving him a very dreadful look.

“I hate you,” she added.

“If you hate me then why would you try to poison me with a s*x drug, were you planning to watch me die in pain just like I’m doing to you now?” He asked with his usual dry and lazy tone

“I hate you! I wish you die, my purpose of coming here was to kill you after all because..

“I had killed your friend five hundred years ago” he completed and her eyes widened.

How does he know that?

Draco scoffed slowly and stood up.

“No one can hide anything from me Nevaeh, I knew who you were from the moment I saw you” he said dryly.

“If that was so then why didn’t you say anything, you were making a fool out of me!” She yelled, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

“That’s right,” he nodded.

“You really are a cold blooded monster!! Now that you’ve known the truth then f**king kill me already!!” She yelled out and clutched herself tighter.

“If I wanted to kill you then I’d have done that since but I don’t want to” he shook his head.

“You better kill me or I’ll be the one to kill you myself” she yelled and he began moving closer to her.

“Don’t come close to me, I don’t want you to touch or save me, get back!!” She yelled in tears but he ignored her.

He got to her and picked her up then gathered her in his arms.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let go of me!! I’d rather die than to be under your skin!!! Let me go!!” She kept kicking but he took her to the bed and hovered her.

“I told you to let me go didn’t I?” She breathed, his face was already close to hers and desires were starting to overpower her again and the only thing she could see was his lips.

“Do it, save yourself” he whispered as his hot breath fanned on her face and she lost it, she grabbed his face closer to hers and slammed her lips on his.

NEXT MORNING, JADE HEAVENS**

Ling was running to the king’s chamber, she ignored all the greetings from the maid till she got there, she made to enter but the guards held her back.

“His majesty is really busy and won’t like to be disturbed now” the guard stopped her.

“Nonsense!” Ling slapped his hands off.

“How dare you stop me from seeing my father! Wanna get whipped?” She glared.

“I’m really sorry for upsetting you my lady it’s just that I’m following his majesty orders, please respect his decisions”

“You!” Ling pointed her fingers at him and scoffed then left angrily.

She got to the garden and began pacing back and forth looking worried, it was eight in the morning, Gianna would be getting beheaded by eleven and she was still looking for a way to stop it.

Even though her father’s mean bodyguard won’t let her in, it seems like father had really made up his mind.

Suddenly Shine walked past her and she immediately ran after her.

“Shine, wait!” Ling ran after her and Shine faced her with a frown.

“What does the evil sister want from me?” She asked harshly.

“Don’t be like this Shine-”

“What do you expect me to be like? You are here supporting your brother’s murder and I thought you love your brother!” Shine spatted.

“Shine I love brother that’s why I’m doing this and if only you can just calm down and listen to me!!” Ling finally snapped.

“Why should I listen to you? Why are you covering up for my brother’s murder!!” Shine snapped back.

“Because she’s not our enemy! She was that girl that the gods asked brother to protect five hundred years ago, brother is in love with her!” Ling yelled back.

Sapphire, who was coming beside them with Gina, froze when she heard what King had just said.

Shine stared at her and blinked slowly.

“What?” She asked slowly.

“I said brother is in Love With Her” Ling spelt it out.

“If it was so then why didn’t you tell me!” Shine yelled.

“Because you refused to listen,” Ling replied.

“Oh no, we better both be fathers. If my brother finds out about this, he will really hate me” Shine began panicking.

“Now you’re thinking, let’s go” Ling grabbed her hands and rushed out with her while Sapphire kept moving backwards.

She stumbled on nothing and almost fell but Gina was fast enough to catch her.

“Princess!” She called immediately.

“Gina, did you hear that, he.. he is in love with her, Den is in love with her” she said with widened eyes.

*

“Let us in, how can you stop us from seeing father!” Both Long and Shine kept yelling at the guard.

It was nine minutes to eleven already which means the execution will soon take place, even as they were standing here right now, Gianna was already carried out of prison to the execution room.

The guards have already put her head into the execution plank and were waiting for eleven to hit the dot before they cut her head off.

As for Den, he was still unconscious. The doctor had said that he would wake up today but no one knew the time he was going to wake up.

The door opened and the king stepped out with the queen, they were both going to watch how the execution will take place.

“Father!” Ling and Shine blocked his path.

“Father a word please” they pleaded.

The queen glared at them and held the king’s hands.

“What is wrong with the both of you, the execution is about to take place so let’s go” she said.

“Mom, please don’t execute her,” Shine pleaded.

“What nonsense are you saying, weren’t you the one who gave this offer” the queen replied.

“That was then but now, Den will get mad if she dies” Shine replied

“And how do you know that!?” The queen said hardly.

“Because-”

Shine only talked just to get Interrupted by the king.

“That’s enough, let’s go” he said and began leaving with the queen.

“Father!!” Ling called and faced Shine with a panicked look on her face.

“What do we do?” She asked.

“I don’t know” Shine shook her head and sat on a small rock then bent her head low.

Ling moved to sit beside her and rubbed her shoulders.

“Don’t blame yourself…

“But how can I not? It’s all my fault!” She cut her off with a cry.

“No brother will understand, you just love him too much,” Ling replied.

“That’s a lie, brother will hate me now. I want to be alone” she stood up and began running away.

“Hey Shi Shi, where are you going?” Ling yelled behind her but she had already disappeared.

Ling sighed and stood akimbo, she began pacing around and thinking of what to do.

“What to do, what to do” she bit her lips hard.

*

Time was moving so fast that it was already two minutes to go for the execution.

Den hasn’t woken up yet which got both Fen and Boi worried.

“It was just a little stab, why is he still sleeping?” Boi muttered and Fen crossed his arms with creased brows.

“His highness will be really sad once he finds out that Gianna has been beheaded, she just has two minutes left” Fen replied.

Unknown to them, Den hasn’t woken up yet not because of the stab but because he was having a huge dream about Gianna.

He could see the both of them laying the garden together, cuddling and smiling at eachother embrace and that was what they have been doing since.

“Anna, I know you’ll still come back for me” he muttered and she snuggled on him, caressing his chest.

“I love you Angie” she muttered and kissed it.

“Let’s sleep” she whispered in his ears and just as Den was about to close his eyes someone came to them.

“Den!” The person yelled.

If Den had a lookalike then you’d definitely give it to the person, the man looked exactly like him.

“What are you doing, let’s go save Anna!” His look alike said.

“Don’t listen to him Den, your Ana is right here” Gianna whispered to his eyes.

“She’s not Anna, she’s a witch and she’s distracting you!!” His look alike yelled at him.

“How can you call me a witch, Den I’m sad” Gianna pouted.

“Den she’s not Gianna, get a grip of yourself. Gianna is in danger and only you can save her!!” His look alike yelled at him again.

“I’m fine don’t listen to him Angie stay with me, stay with baby Ann” Gianna hugged him even more tighter.

At this point Den got confused, he didn’t know what to do anymore.

“Who are you?” He asked the guy at his front.

“I’m your self control and I’m telling you that this girl here is not Anna” His look alike replied.

“But I’m Anna, look at my face Angie” Gianna pouted and batted her lashes.

Den held his head tight and stood up.

“Yes Den, let’s go save Anna” his look alike who was now standing by his right held his hands.

“No stay with me Angie” Gianna held his second hand and they both began pulling at him.

“Anna is in danger Den, the choice is up to you” his look alike gave him a dagger.

“Make your choice now, do you want me or her?” He added.

Den slowly collected the dagger and looked at the guy that looked exactly like him at his right then looked at Gianna at his left.

“Choose me Den, stay with me my love I missed you” Gianna batted her lashes at him.

Den breathed and looked up.

“I choose Gianna” He said and turned to hug Gianna tight while she smiled.

Next thing her facial expression changed and blood began coming out of her mouth.

That’s right, Den had just stabbed her with the dagger he was holding, he pulled away and she slowly went down then turned into black smoke and disappeared off.

Den faced the guy that looked exactly like him and nodded.

“Let’s go save Anna,” he said.

**

Den sprained up immediately and sat up the bed, he held his chest tight as his breathings ragged.

“Highness” both Fen and Boi rushed to him.

“Highness you’re awake” Boi smiled.

“Where’s Anna?” He asked.

Fen and Boy looked at themselves and Den clenched his fist tight.

“Where’s Anna!!” He yelled this time.

“She’s going to get executed in just thirty seconds’ time” Fen rushed his words.

“What??” Den’s eyes widened and he immediately jumped out of bed and ran out of the room.

“Highness!!” Both Fen and Boi ran after him.

They were running like a mad person that had just escaped the psychiatric hospital.

EXECUTION ROOM

Gianna clenched her fist really tight, just give them thirty seconds and they will behead her.

She had planned to escape while using her powers but they were not working, last night she used it to treat Gianna’s wound and they have all been exhausted.

“I can’t let them kill her, I still need her body” she muttered and looked up to see Sapphire at the front roll, smiling at her.

Ten seconds more, she was still trying to generate some energy but nothing seemed to be working God damnit!

The king sat on his throne alongside his queen as they were having a clear view of everything.

Then it got to three seconds more then two then one. The king moved his hands as he signed the head of the general to drop the badge on the floor.

Gianna looked slowly at the bodyguard, she knew that the moment the badge touched the floor, they would behead her straight without wasting time.

She was not scared of dying because she knows that she can’t die now but she didn’t want Gianna to die. If the guards succeed in beheading her then Gianna will die and her spirit would have to wait for thousands of years again to find a new replacement.

If Gianna should die now then she won’t be able to save her for the third time, there’s no third chance, she can only save a human twice.

Slowly the guard dropped the badge and it began falling. Gianna would only just stare at it wishing that there was something she could do but who was she kidding, she was as good as useless right now.

For the first time a teardrop fell from her eyes, “You win, I guess I’ll have to wait for another thousands of years before I can finally have my revenge” she muttered.

The badge touched the floor and the guard who was standing behind her raised the sword up and began bringing it down to her neck.

Gianna shut her eyes tight, waiting for her head to fall off.

Sapphire’s smile increased and Ling watched, crying from afar.

The sword finally met with Gianna’s neck and…
