On Diamant's 14th birthday, the strangest thing happened. A witch had almost killed her while warning her to stay away from the past. Diamant and her grandpa were people who lived on a survival skill of running and hiding from an unknown that relentlessly chased after them and threatened their lives. 

One night, this skill of Run and Hide met its end at the hands of a war brought upon their village by the mighty King of Alusa, the Dragon Lord. Having lost everything in the war, Diamant is driven by rage and grieve to seek revenge against the King. This is no easy task as she will get entangled in lies, conspiracy, betrayal, love, war and magic. In all these, she discovers there are important questions about her life that only the past has answers to.

Will she delve into the past to seek these answers which may cost her everything including her life? Or will she face the present, forgo knowing these answers and live the life she is struggling to build for herself?

Diamant

Rika who was lost in thought didn't hear her. He still wanted to know how she swang it all in her favour. 


She turned to him. Seeing his confusion, she immediately understood his question. 


"Meeting an empty hideout was enough suspicion. I knew something was off and the only person I suspected was Lewis, so I immediately had him followed. The Twin had earlier reported that his brother was missing, that even made me suspect Lewis more. When I came back to the Palace, I discovered that Malik had been the one to capture them and they had refused to speak. Fate was just on my side." She reached out for goblet and started pouring wine into it. 


"I convinced them all that they would have to accuse Lewis or else the sacrifice will not be worth it. They were immediately ready to lay down their lives for Alusa." She threw her head back in laughter and Rika squinted his eyes in confusion as he collected the goblet of wine she offered.
