DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter Defiance in Ignisfell
In the bustling entrance of the city gate, Kiryo stood resolute, his eyes scanning the horizon as he waited for the return of his comrades, Eamon and Rosche. The distant sounds of hooves pounding against the earth caught his attention, and he turned his gaze to the approaching commotion.
A horse raced toward him, its rider, Prince Draven of Celestoria, sitting arrogantly atop it. His voice cut through the air, harsh and commanding. “Get out of my way!” he bellowed, his tone dripping with entitlement.
An elderly man, struggling to step aside, was unable to move quickly enough to satisfy the impatient prince’s demands. Panic filled the old man’s eyes as he attempted to get out of harm’s way. The arrogant prince, his impatience simmering, reached for his whip, intending to lash it out at the elderly man who was blocking his path.
But Kiryo, never one to stand by when injustice occurred, leaped into action. With a swift and fluid motion, he blocked the whip’s path and seized its tip in his hand, halting the impending strike. The prince, his anger flaring, was taken aback by the audacity of this stranger who dared to interfere.
“Who are you?!” Prince Draven seethed, his voice carrying a sharp edge. “How dare you block the way of the heir of the kingdom of Celestoria!”
“I don’t care who you are” Kiryo’s eyes blazed with an unwavering determination as he spoke, his own temper flaring. “I won’t allow anyone to harm the innocent, regardless of their station.”
The prince’s fury was palpable, and he gestured to his guards who were never far behind. “Guards! Seize this insolent interloper and take him to be questioned!”
As the guards closed in, a crowd of onlookers, who had been concealed within the city gates, began to emerge, drawn by the escalating confrontation. The people of Ignisfell, curious and concerned, gathered to witness the unfolding drama.
With a resolute and defiant spirit, Kiryo stood his ground, unwilling to back down. The guards, their expressions determined, advanced to take him into custody. The fate of Kiryo now hung in the balance, as the kingdom’s heir, Prince Draven, sought retribution for the perceived affront.
