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

Gianna let out a slow groan as she slowly opened her eyes, she still felt really sore although all the wounds were healed but the pains were still there.

She managed to sit up and brought her hands to her neck but immediately hissed in pains the moment she did that.

That was where she got cut and even though the wounds had healed, the pains were still there.

Ignoring the pains, she looked front only to see Boi sitting on the chair and dozing. He dozed so hard that he didn’t know when he fell on the floor and that was when he came back to his senses.

He immediately opened his eyes and stood up quickly but frozen when he saw Gianna looking at him dumb foldedly.

“Hey… You’re awake” he let out a nervous smile and she shook her head and rolled her eyes.

Of course this was Elvis, the dumbest among Angie’s friends.

“I’ll go tell his highness that you’ve woken up” he smiled and asked the maid to leave but she stopped him.

“My throat is really dry, I need water,” she said.

“Oh then, I’ll get it for you, wait here” he smiled and rushed out.

Gianna tried standing up but the pains she was feeling won’t make her stand. After facing a hell of torture with Sapphire last night, she still faced another torture a bratty princess that ordered the guards to give her hundred strokes of cane as warm-up before the exercise.

“Just wait till I recover!” She seethed and fell back on the bed, looking weak and tired.

**

Boi finally got a cup of water but on his way to the room he bumped into Den and Fen.

“Highness, Gianna is awake” he told him.

Den eyes widened and without waiting to ask for anything, he immediately rushed to the room.

He met her trying to stand up and he immediately rushed towards her.

“Anna” he sighed and held her then made her lay properly on the bed.

“Why are you so stubborn huh? Can’t you see that you haven’t recovered yet” he scolded softly as he tucked her gently to the bed.

Gianna slowly looked up at his face and she suddenly remembered what happened earlier.

When they were about to behead her, she saw him rush in with a bow and arrow to save her life and although she had passed out, she still knew that he went on his knees to plead with his king just so that he could spare Gianna’s life.

“He really loves Gianna,” she thought.

Den looked down at her and a low smile slowly curved on his lips.

“Why are you looking at me that way Anna, did I grow handsome overnight?” He teased and Gianna sighed.

“I’ve told you countless times that I’m not..

She got cut shut when Den’s lips landed on hers again.

Boi widened his eyes and shut them tight while Fen just rolled his eyes.

Den kissed her for like six seconds before letting her go.

“You!” Gianna turned red with anger as she glared at him, she wanted to raise her hands to hit him but the pains didn’t let her.

“You haven’t eaten since yesterday right and I’m sure that you must be hungry” he said but Gianna didn’t respond.

Den didn’t have the time to wait for her response either so he just stood up and faced his two bodyguards.

“Fen, Boi, you two go to the kitchen and ask the maids to prepare something for Anna to eat” he ordered.

“Yes your highness, Boi let’s go” Fen held Boi’s hands and pulled him out.

Gianna who was making mean faces at Den from behind stopped the moment he turned to look back at her.

“Anna” he called and moved to sit beside her.

“Do you want to get a massage later? I’ll order for the professional maid and they’ll massage you so your pains can reduce” he asked softly.

Gianna groaned.

“You should stop treating me like Anna, I only just have her body with me, you are the one that’ll get hurt at the end so why can’t you just focus on the woman that the gods had chosen for you” she sighed.

Den brought his hands to her cheeks and pinched it hard.

“Quit saying nonsense” he replied.

“I’m serious!” Gianna slapped his hands off. “My body got destroyed thousands of years ago that’s why I’m using hers, it’s a trade by barter. I saved her life and she gave me her body”

“If it’s so then why did you come here to look for me?” He asked with crossed arms.

“I needed your help that’s why, I used five hundred years to heal your beloved when she could have died like the rest, I lost my powers because of her and each time I gather some, I’ll still use it to treat her injuries and to clean up your memories because I can’t risk letting my plan fail” she replied.

“You’re wiping her memories?”

“Yes, I’m doing it so she won’t remember you and I’ll have to go back to sleep letting her take control and making some foolish mistake” she rolled her eyes.

“You said you needed help, with what?” He asked.

“I just need you to help me get into the Ouze palace so I can have my revenge, I promise to leave Gianna alone for you after my revenge please I really need your help” she pleaded.

“Wait, what if I help you find your body, will you leave Anna alone?” He asked.

“Kid, my body had been destroyed thousands of years ago and I can only use people’s bodies, it’s rare to find a body like Gianna’s to use. The first day I saw her, I knew that she was destined to die early and I wanted to help her so I decided to enter her. I’ll help her live long and she’ll let me use her body. Don’t you know that if I hadn’t entered her then she’d have been dead long ago. Just help me Den, only my revenge matters and I promise to leave Gianna once I’m done” she pleaded.

Den went silent for a while before he suddenly thought of something.

“Fine I agree to help you but under one condition” he said and she looked at him.

“What?”

“Promise not to wipe Gianna’s memory anymore, let me get close to her again, let me spoil and love her however I want, can you just release her a little, I know you are a warrior princess and probably don’t have a heart for love but revenge, can you please let me get close to the real Gianna, I won’t meddle with your revenge I just want to see my Anna again” he said in a slightly pleading tone.

“If Anna recognizes you then I’ll be totally useless because I won’t be able to have my own revenge anymore, she’ll be in control back again and I can’t” she shook her head.

“Then we’ll make it a war, I’ll seduce Anna and bring her back to me and you’ll still try to get your revenge, whoever wins, wins” he said.

Gianna stared at him for a while before nodding.

“But from now on can you address me as Meilin?” She asked.

“If it was your body then I’ll do but since it’s not I’ll still address you as my Anna because I know that she is still there, just give me a little time and I’ll bring her back to me I swear” he smiled.

Meilin nodded.

“You can call me Anna but as long as I’m Meilin for now then I’ll answer to my name” she replied.

DEMONS KINGDOM**

Nevaeh found her way to Harmony’s room and knocked on the door harshly.

It opened and Harmony came out looking at her hatefully from head to toes.

“The bell?” Nevaeh stretched her hands out for Harmony to hand over the bell.

Harmony chuckled and crossed her arms.

“What was our agreement, lord Draco hasn’t noticed you yet so what should I give you the bell?” She asked with a scoff.

Nevaeh chuckled and huffed at the same time before looking at her face.

“And who told you that Draco hasn’t noticed me yet? Do you know what we did last night” She asked with a smirk.

Harmony eyes widened, “What?” She frowned.

Nevaeh proudly shifted her hair from her neck and showed the hickeys to her.

“Do you see those hickeys?” She asked.

“You!” Harmony couldn’t believe her eyes.

“You seduced Lord Draco! You really are shameless,” she said, her blood boiling with anger.

“I didn’t seduce anyone, he just finds me so attractive that he invited me to eat dinner with him then he gave me the real dinner, do I need to tell you how good he was?” She asked, even though she didn’t like the things she was saying but she just wanted to rile Harmony up.

“Hey why aren’t you answering, you can see the amount of hickeys on my neck right, should I show you the one on my chest too?” She wiggled her brows.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Harmony gritted her teeth and next thing she slapped Nevaeh hard on the face.

“You’re nothing but a b*tch!” She yelled angrily.

Nevaeh licked the blood on her lips that got cut due to the slap and turned to face her then slapped her back.

Harmony gasped and held her cheeks then Nevaeh continued.

“What! Why are you so angry, have you never tasted the Lord Draco you’ve been clinging onto like a fly for years, it’s such a pity because I heard that the both of you built this place up together but he never really gave a dime about you, he would only see you as a fly that could just kill whenever he wants” Nevaeh laughed and shook her head then began leaving but paused after taking three steps forward.

“Oh, you can keep the bell because he already knows about my identity and guess what, he decided to spare me” she laughed out and left.

Harmony was left fuming angrily, her hands gripped on her sword tightly.

When Nevaeh got to her room, she was surprised to see over six maids waiting for her, two of them were holding a red dress and she creased her brows.

“What are you people doing here?” She asked.

“They came to give you your wedding dress”… A familiar dark, cold, emotionless yet calm voice sounded and Nevaeh slowly looked to see the “Almighty lord Draco” sitting on the free chair in her room with his long legs crossed together.

Her eyes widened as she stared at him then the maids.

“Why are you here?” She asked.

“Why can’t I be here?” He looked up at her with his face, void of emotions as usual.

Nevaeh cleared her throat as she stared at him again, “What… have you been the maids with my wedding dress?” She almost stuttered as she asked.

With the same emotionless face, Draco slowly stood up and crossed his arms at his back.

“You are the first woman I’ve touched in two thousand and five hundred years so don’t you think you should pay?” He asked nonchalantly.

Nevaeh eyes widened as she stared at him then she scoffed. How can a man who’s as good looking… No way, how can a Demon like this claim that last night was his first night, even as a human and now supernatural, she had actually slept with two guys before but she did it for fun.

“How do you think you’ll make me pay? By getting married to you?” She asked with crossed arms.

When he shrugged she burst out into laughter.

“So what if I disagree what will you do?” She asked with a daring look and without waiting for him to respond she spoke again.

“Are you going to kill me just like you killed Gianna five hundred years ago?” She asked angrily.

“No, I’ll just attack the peacock palace,” he replied.

“You are a b*stard!, You really are a demon, better don’t touch my family you monster!!” She yelled angrily.

“That’s right, I’m a monster. You think I’ll let you go scott free after everything you’re planning to do, you really are dumb, there’s no difference between you and your friend from five hundred years ago, thinking you can just seduce me, how naive” he scoffed.

Nevaeh gritted her teeth and raised her hands to hit him but he caught it.

“I give you just five minutes to get dressed, I hate it when people keep me waiting,” he added, then released her and walked out of the room.

What annoyed Nevaeh the most was how lifeless he looked even while talking. It was as if he didn’t care about anything. He knows clearly that she was planning to kill him so why was he still keeping her?

Now he even wants to marry her forcefully.

“Fine Draco it seems like you don’t fear death, even if I’ll have to breathe my last breath to kill you then I will gladly do it” she said with nothing but hatred flashing through her eyes.

JADE HEAVENS**

Den was on his way to his father’s chamber since his father had asked him to come see him earlier.

But on getting there, he noticed that his father was in a conversation with the queen and he hates listening to their conversations so he decided to wait for them but then he heard something that caught his attention.

Inside, the queen could be seen, sitting opposite the king as they discussed something.

“Don’t you think that there’s more trouble because Xia Meilin is alive?” The queen asked and the king sighed.

“What troubles me is how we are going to tell Den that his marriage with the Pearl princess is fake” she added.

“It’s a disaster” the king shook his head.

Den who had been listening to their conversations couldn’t believe his ears.

So his marriage with Sapphire was fake!? How can his parents do this to him?

He was really angry.
