Chapter 40: Danil Lyurik
Short chapter. Next chapter will be long and lengthy.
“Rhia!”
Dimitri pounced on Rihannan, immediately embracing her in his arms and shielding her from an unknown object.
Rihannan and Dimitri looked up and saw stones shining brightly around them. They realized what it was and their face quickly hardened.
It was an ore named Arc Stone and categorized as one of the rarest minerals in the world. When burned, it produced light and heat without odor. Every nation made great to acquire Arc Stones. For its usefulness, the masses titled the ore Lord of Light.
Apart from its purpose to burn lights, arc stones had far too many purposes – one included flying through the air to reveal their target. Though the problem was the rarity of the stones. It was not easy for regular folks to have one in their hands. Only the powerful and wealthy could afford such luxury and Rihannan and Dimitri know fairly well who wielded that power in Chrichton.
A few minutes later, a dozen men appeared in the light the stone burned. A man stood in the middle and faced Rihannan and Dimitri.
Dimitri knew him.
“Danil.”
At Dimitri’s call, Danil Lyurik, duke and the eldest son of the crown prince’s closest aide walked forward.
Dimitri glared at him intensely. He and Danil had never been on good terms. Dimitri quietly despised for his misbehavior and misconduct while Danil felt pity for Dimitri, pity for his life as he lived a life without power and away from the center of power despite his royal lineage.

“Surprised? I had a hunch that a rat would escape tonight.”
Dimitri gritted his teeth as Danil smiled.

“You waited for us for a reason, right? Is it not to capture and hand us over to the crown prince?” Dimitri said lowly.
Danil smiled. “Yes. I knew you’d make a move. You shouldn’t have shown such overt affection for your cousin. Well, she is beautiful. I can see why.”
“As the crown prince’s dog, you’ll truly wag your tail,” Dimitri growled.
“Ah, ah, ah.” Danil wagged his finger. “Be careful what you say. What I give to the crown prince is loyalty but you’ve only shown insults and… treason.”
Dimitri gritted his teeth.
“What are you doing?” Danil looked over his shoulder. “Tie them up.”
The soldiers rushed and followed his order. Dimitri momentarily placed his hand on the sword tied around his waist, but he soon gave up. Rihannan’s situation would only worsen.
“Then take me alone. Send Rihannan back home. That child is only guilty of being forced to go with me! Don’t you think we don’t have guards at our house? How could she run away?” Dimitri appealed to Danil desperately.
Danil’s gaze turned to Rihannan. He had already seen her in the palace. The impression he received from her was of a beautiful yet quiet woman who was always by the princess’s side calmly. She was a contrast to the princess’s lively character.
But he soon realized that she was a little different from what he had originally thought. She was not surprised nor in tears. Instead of crying useless tears, she looked at Dimitri quietly. She had a cute little frown on her lips before turning her head to him.

For a moment, it felt like the cold winter sky poured down.
“Take me to the crown prince. I have something to tell him,” she said, facing Danil whose eyes were a deep blue.
