---- His huge frame hovered over her completely, his knee pressed between her thighs and her eyes widen.

as she watches his face just few inches away.

Those green eyes were locked on hers.

His palms pressed on her lips that were literally kissing his hand Not another word.

He warns, and then they hear voices.

Someone was talking.

Pulling back his hand, he crawled closer to a small grate in the side of the duct.noveldrama

Peering through the slats, his breath hitched.

What do you see? Alex asked again not able to stay silent and Damien's palms were back on his lips.

She rolls her eyes to abide.

He kept her pinned and silenced, with his hand while he himself peeked out from the small opening.

Below, the grand hall below came into view.

And all the creatures were surrounding someone.

Bowing.

They were there in thousands.

---- Chapter 459 He shifted to get a better view of the person and his mind freezes as he watched Gerald standing in the center, his commanding presence impossible to miss.

He was flanked by a group of doctors in pristine white coats, their expressions stern and focused as Gerald issued orders.

Around them, creatures of the Land of Darkness bowed low, their monstrous forms looking disturbingly subservient to the man.

We will begin by securing this castle as our base.

Gerald said, his voice carrying authority.

From here, we'll extend our reach into the Land of Light.

Prepare the next wave of creatures and establish a line of communication with the other sectors.

I want this place operational by sundown tomorrow.

And yes...

He climbs up the stairs to stare at the huge throne placed in the centre.

The throne that belonged to Adrian.

With a victorious smirk on his lips, he drops down ---- on it to look down at everyone.

One of the creatures comes forward and he crouched down on its knees, to offer a black-coloured crown to Adrian.

Adrian settles it on his head and exclaims.

Spread the world.

Let everyone know! That their new King is here! King Gerald! The cheers and claps follow and the creatures, literally starts scraping and upturning the furniture in celebration.

Damien's jaw clenched, his knuckles whitening as he gripped the edges of the grate.

Alex could feel the tension radiating off him, the barely restrained fury boiling beneath his calm exterior.

But she failed to know the reason.

Who is there? What is going on? She tries to push herself up to see but he keeps her pinned to the floor of the narrow chamber.

Her ---- thrashing all in vain.

And that's when he hears more footsteps echoing from the hall below, and the cheers silence down.

All the creatures go silent and he even watched them slightly flinch at the entry of this new person.

Tf anything, as the persons come closer, everyone starts bowing.

One by one.

Submitting.

Here you come! We all have been waiting for you! Welcome! Gerald announces.

Opening his hands in victory and that's when Danien felt it The aura.

Tt was the most strongest aura he has ever felt in his life.

So powerful enough that it was taking all his controls to not bow to the person.
