Chapter 108: Chapter 108

Liviana’s POV

We waved goodbye to the people as we left.

It was really fun talking to them.

They were very nice and welcoming.

I always seemed to compare Halo with Lunar.

Probably because I felt that Halo was a lot better.

And in my perspective, it really is.

For one, they weren’t ruled over by a cunning excuse for a King.

“So, where are we off to next?” I asked Rainer curiously.

“You’ll see” he said mischievously.

I raised a brow at him and he chuckled.

I didn’t know where we were going but I still followed Rainer.

Normally, I wouldn’t trust someone who I just met if he’s not family.

But Rainer was different.

Rainer wasn’t family but he was the person who saved Luke and I’s life.

Also, Rainer has been guarding and protecting me since that day.

I didn’t have any reason to not trust him.

Specially seeing how he acts around Luke and I.

After a while of walking, we finally reached our destination.

It was a lake.

A beautiful breathtaking lake.

“Wow” I said in awe.

“This is Princess Diana’s favorite spot in Halo” Rainer told me.

“Really?” I said.

Rainer nodded.

My eyes roamed around the scenic view.

It looked magical.

“I think it’s my favorite spot in Halo now too” I said as I appreciated the view.

Rainer smiled.

“I’m glad you liked it” he said.

I smiled thankfully at him.

“I’ll set up lunch” he said and gave me Luke.

I nodded.

Rainer opened the other bag from earlier and took out a picnic blanket from there.

Then, he started taking out lunch boxes and laid them down neatly on the picnic blanket.

“Finished” Rainer said and offered his hand to help Luke and I to sit down.

I accepted it and sat down on the picnic blanket.

Rainer sat across Luke and I as he gave me a spoon and a lunch box.

“Thank you” I said.

Rainer gave me a smile.

Luke laid down on my lap when Rainer gave him a bottle of his milk and started drinking it.

On the other hand, Rainer and I started eating.

I still continued to peacefully enjoy the view while I was eating my lunch.

It was a perfect go to place to relax and get your mind off if things.

“How are you liking Halo so far?” Rainer asked me.

“I’m loving it so far” I told him honestly.

“I’m glad” he said with a smile.

“Thank you” I told him.

“No problem” he said.

Rainer looked like he to say something but contemplated on it.

“Do you have anything to say? To ask? Go ahead” I said with a chuckle.

Rainer chuckled awkwardly.

“If you don’t mind me asking, how was Lunar like for you?” he asked curiously.

I smiled slightly.

“Lunar will always be my home because that’s where I grew up and developed the person that I am” I started.

“In Lunar, I led a pack. I was Alpha” I told him.

Rainer looked at me with a surprised expression.

“You were Alpha in Lunar?” he asked.

I nodded.

“Yes. The first female Alpha” I confirmed.

Rainer looked impressed.

“My pack was one of the biggest pack in Lunar. The Crescent Moon pack. I started leading it at the age of 16 when Pa left” I said.

“Pa?” Rainer asked again.

“Pa is the person who raised me. He was my father’s most trusted warrior. I grew up thinking he was my biological father and only found out that he wasn’t a little after I turned 18” I said.

Rainer nodded in understanding.

“The Crescent Moon pack was my life. I cherished all of them with all my heart and led them with pride till the very end” I stated sadly.

I miss my pack.

“When you ask me how Lunar was for me, I can never tell you anything else except Lunar was where Alpha Liviana of Crescent Moon pack grew up in because all my life, I only ever focused on my pack and nothing else. So being Halo’s princess is a really big level-up for me” I said with a chuckle.

Rainer chuckled as well.

“Don’t worry too much about it. I’m sure you’d make a wonderful ruler” Rainer assured me.

“How can you say? You haven’t even met all of me” I said.

“Oh believe me, I don’t need you to tell me your life story to know that you are fit to be a ruler” he said with a shrug.

“And why is that?” I asked.

Rainer looked at me straight in the eyes.

“Because when I look at you now, I don’t just see an Alpha or a Princess…” he said and paused.

“I see a Queen” he stated.

I was left speechless.

Rainer smiled at me.

I blushed.

After that, we finished our lunch and Rainer cleaned up while I held Luke.

I kept looking around for as long as I can while we were out.

Once we were all ready, we made our way to the training grounds for our last stop.

“How often do the warriors and guards train here?” I asked curiously.

“The training hall is in function 24/7. Old and new warriors and guards take turns being on duty, training and resting.

“Then, there must be a high number of warriors and guards here” I said.

Rainer nodded.

“Well, yes. In fact, the whole population of Halo is twice the population of Lunar” Rainer stated.

I turned to look at Rainer with a raised brow.

“And how do you know that?” I asked him.

Rainer bit his lower l*p and looked away.

I chuckled.

“How long has a spy from Halo been going to Lunar?” I asked him.

“Spy? What spy?” Rainer feigned innocence.

“Oh please. Don’t play innocent. The only way you could’ve found me that day as well is either because you were going to Lunar or you were coming back from Lunar” I said.

Rainer flushed red as he avoided my gaze.

I laughed.

He was caught red handed but still refused to tell me anything.

“Someone from Lunar once mentioned to me that they tried to send a spy to Halo as well but failed. He said it was impossible to infiltrate another territory. I think he assumed that Lunar was the same. And I guess, he’s wrong if you can go in and out of Lunar without anyone knowing you were even there” I said impressed.

Luan was the one who told me this.

“In our defense, we only did it to search for Princess Diana in Lunar” Rainer admitted.

“Our? So who are the others?” I asked.

Rainer’s eyes widened as he realized what he just said.

I burst out laughing at his reaction.

He did not only confess to being a spy but he also confessed to having accomplices.

Rainer refused to talk more after until we reached the training grounds.

We finally reached the training grounds and I saw the warriors training from the distance.

“This is where the warriors and guards train. There’s also an indoor one and it’s both accessible any time” Rainer told me.

“Shouldn’t we go closer?” I said.

“Do you want to go closer?” Rainer asked.

I nodded.

“Then, let’s go” Rainer said as he offered his hand.

I accepted it as we made our way closer to the training.

As we were approaching, we heard a shout not from too far away.

“Look out!” someone shouted.

My senses tingled.

Rocks came bursting out of the ground as it made a wall covering Reiner and Luke.

Then, I caught the flying arrow with my bare hands.

My eyes glowed bright gold as my hands lit on fire and the arrow turned into ashes.

I glared at the direction of where the arrow came from.

The warriors holding bows looked at me in fear as they all dropped their bows to the ground.

I made my way to them with one of my hand still on fire and my eyes glowed a dangerous bright gold.

They all stepped back as I came closer.

“Careful there” I growled in a low dangerous tone.

Roots started coming out of the ground and it wrapped around the ankles of the warriors.

“Liviana!” I heard Rainer shout but I was already seeing red.

The warriors kneeled before me as the roots kept them from getting away.

“We’re sorry. It was an accident” they said desperately.

I chuckled in disbelief.

“Liviana!” Rainer kept calling me.

“You know what else can be an accident?” I said.

They all looked at me in fear.

“The end of all of you” I said.

The color from their faces drained.

It was quickly replaced with a terrified expression.

“Let them go”

I turned to look at who spoke and saw a man making his way towards us.

“It was an accident, your majesty. An honest mistake. I apologize in behalf of my men” the man said as he bowed his head to me.

My brows furrowed.

“And you are?” I said.

“My apologies. I am Rolan Black. The head trainer and Rainer’s father” he introduced himself.

I stared at him for a moment.

Then, I took a deep breath as I glared at the warriors again.

The roots entangled on the their legs started to go back to the ground as the fire in my hands disappeared.

“Don’t let it happen again” I warned them and they nodded while shaking in fear.

“Liviana!”

I turned to look at Rainer’s direction.

His shout was quickly followed by Luke’s cries.

My eyes widened as I put down the rocks surrounding both of them quickly.

I rushed to Rainer and Luke as Luke cried in fear.

I immediately held Luke in my arms to calm him down.

“I’m so sorry, baby. I’m so sorry” I apologized as I hugged Luke in my arms.

“Liviana, are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?” Reiner asked worried as he checked my body.

“I’m fine” I told him as I continue to make Luke calm down.

Rainer continued to circle me to check for any injuries.

“Her majesty is fine, Rainer. You should probably ask them instead” Rainer’s father came as he pointed to the warriors who I scolded and threatened earlier.

They were still kneeling down as they shook in fear.

Rainer shook his head in disbelief.

“I think you scared the sht out of them, Liviana” Rainer said with a chuckle.

Luke had finally stopped crying as he snuggled close to me while I caressed him soothingly.

I rolled my eyes.

“They’ll get over it” I simply said.

I was still more worried about Luke than I was with anyone else.

Can you blame me?

My maternal instinct took over.

I felt a sense of danger for my child.

Of course, I’ll lash out.

Rainer gave me a pat on the back while his father eyed me.

Looking at Rainer’s father, I don’t think he likes me very much.
