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

Then it clicked. The nightcrawling bitch had planned all these! Looks like she didn't really value her life after all. 


Aaron paced around the room. He was definitely going to teach her a lesson, he would definitely make sure she suffers for this. 


Aaron turned to the guard who straightened up immediately he sensed the King's attention. 


"You and some guards should go escort Lady Aliyah to the dungeon." 


"Yes, your Majesty." The guard bowed lightly and left immediately. 


He clenched his fists by his side and huffed in annoyance. He would made sure he teach her a lasting lesson this time. As the thought of ways to torture Aliyah crossed his mind, something suddenly clicked. How had not even thought about that from the beginning. 


"Oh, no." He mumbled under his breath before he sprinted out of the room. 


Diamant must have seen him, she must have honoured his summon, came to the room and caught him together with Aliyah. He felt like he was slowly losing his mind.
