The Underworld Prince Next Door

CHAPTER 31

The news about the planned visit of Lisorette and Malik to the Mortal Realm was spread within the three realms of the world. Rumors has it been that the two royalties intention was to visit a certain Immortal that caught their eyes. But they are uncertain who amongst the three Immortals is the one they want to pay a visit.

Harriet, on the other side, started to teach the human kids the different races in the world based on her won experience. The children was a bit frightened when they learned about the inhumane doings of Timothy Top. Half of them wants to dig Timothy's flesh to avenge their fellow humans. But because of Harriet, they no longer feel any anxiety, fear and sorrow towards their deceased and used fellow human beings.

"Do not be afraid, kids. Teacher will be your shield. I will protect you no matter what happens. I will also be your sword that will slay all those evil beings who wants to harm you. No one can lay a finger on you. They will have to walk over my corpse before they can do so." Harriet said bravely.

The children's eyes were full of hope in front of their teacher. They believe her. They believe her more than their own parents, actually.

"Teacher! Do you know what happened to that madman?" Samantha asked.

"The last news I've got is that, he was severely punished and locked up in a dungeon thousands of feet under the ground." Harriet answered.

The children heaved a sigh and they started to change the subject.

"Teacher, if you are pretty. Then your parents must be pretty, too. Then your children would be so much pretty, too!" Tiffany stated.

"Yeah! Teacher's babies would be the most beautiful creatures. They will be married to me soon!" Tommy said with his chest out.

Everyone giggled and started to hit Tommy lightly. His naughtiness is out of their reach.

"You're not finished in your school, yet you are thinking about my future and yours?" Harriet asked her student with wide eyes.

"Of course, teacher. I will tell the world that I will be your future son-in-law! No one can stop me!" Tommy announced.

"No one can stop you? But you are too weak." Harriet scold.

Tommy pouted and marched around the premises while shouting, "I will be stronger than anyone else! I will be teacher's son-in-law!"

Harriet shakes her head along the other students. No one can ever shut Tommy's mouth now. No one can stop a persistent and obsessed kid like him.

Her days isn't complete without this kind of conversation with Tommy and Kyle. Their announcement came out their room and spread it all over the town. The folks are laughing at them and shaking their heads helplessly. No one can really stop them except to their muscular fathers.

Her routine started once again the next morning. Its rest day that's why she almost spend her day by flying, visiting the gentlemen inside Evans mansion, and taking a nap on the green grass in her courtyard.

No one can miss the magical scenery whenever Harriet is cultivating her powers. Aside from the X-Ray vision that is a natural gift for being a Royal Family member, she have four more powers. Flying, nature control, animal control and space manipulation. She must be called a legendary Immortal.

But, her peaceful days was interrupted by a woman with blonde hair, blue eyes and pointed ears. She suddenly trespassed Harriet's courtyard. Her guards tried to stop her but being stubborn in nature, she still entered the courtyard. Instead of going in, she found herself being bounce back by stepping her foot on the grass passed by from the wooden gate of the courtyard.

Harriet seems to not notice her existence, she continued to cultivate inside her space. She made an indestructible barrier for the ones who will try to sneak in her place. She obviously don't want to be disturbed.

Dark, Evans, Crow, Steven and Louie who is always sticking with each other came. Dark's eyes narrowed while the blonde girl's eyes filled with joy at the sight of the third Prince. She tried to jumped to him but Dark moved swiftly and dodged the woman effortlessly. The woman fell by her face that made the other men chuckle for her foolishness.

"Prince! I came here to visit you. Why did you do that to me?" She asked while a little amount of tears was formed in her eyes.

Obviously, she is acting. The gentlemen easily noticed it.

"Who are you to run amok in the forest? Do you know that this is a restricted place?" Evans asked to her furiously.

He don't want anyone disturb Harriet especially if its rest days. He knows how tired Harriet is even though she is not telling him this. He is so furious when he saw the woman tried to trespass in Harriet's courtyard.

"Restricted? Why is there a woman in here? And also, I want that courtyard! I want it! I want it! I want it and no one can stop me!" She started to throw her tantrums in front of the gentlemen. She hopes that Dark can notice her but in vain.

"This is restricted place because of that woman you say. This is her place and no one can mess around here whoever you are." Steven said sternly.

Steven who is also fond towards Harriet hated this woman in front of them. He used to have a lot of girls warming up his bed. But after meeting up with Harriet, he hated his hobby and dismissed his women and choose to stay in Area 667 to observe Harriet. And he must admit that, among the girls he met, this woman in front of me is the one he hated.

The woman looked around and saw Crow and Louie who aren't saying anything. She smirked and walked towards them.

"You lowly human beings, you will not say anything?" She mocked.

"Don't be so cocky, little miss. You are in our territory." Crow hissed.

"Do not even think of laying a finger on my Lady's place." Louie sternly stated.

"How dare you, lowly humans to scold and act tough in front of me? Do you know who I am? You will pay for this!"

"GAIL! STOP IT!" Dark roared.

Gail, the blonde girl looked at Dark with disbelief. She didn't imagine that Dark will treat her this way.

Gail used to be Dark's playmate before the Heaven Realm's Princess was born and get engaged with Dark. She hated the Princess because she thought that she was robbed by all the things she once have. Power, loved one, position. She did her utmost efforts to make Dark look at her.

And when the day he already looked at her eyes, is the day when her heart shattered.

"You are speaking up on this lowly human beings?!" She asked with pure anger and disbelief.

"Lowly humans?" Dark stepped closer tl her with his dark face. Gail is frightened. But before stepping back, Dark pulled her and hold her shoulders tightly that made her face wrinkle. "Have you forgotten that before being mutated as an Immortal being, you used to be a 'lowly human being'?" Dark emphasized the last two words that made Gail shake.

Her being a mutated Immortal is a big secret she have. She didn't know that Dark knows that.

But, the thing she is more fearful than it was Dark's black face in front of her.

"P-prince." She uttered.

"Do you have any idea who are you messing up with?" Dark asked.

Gail looked around and realized that the two among the four audiences are Human Immortals. She looked at Dark with disbelief.

"Not them."

"W-who?" Gail asked with her trembling voice.

Before Dark utter a word, a loud and big explosion of light banged and made the trees almost bend from the courtyard. Dark's eyes widen and throw Gail unconsciously then run towards the courtyard.

Gail is puzzled. She looked around and no one among the five gentlemen were standing there, instead, they followed Dark to the courtyard's entrance.

But, what that shocked her the most is the arrival of Lisorette and Malik in front of her. Their eyes are full of anticipation, fear and happiness.

But when Malik turned to Gail, his face changed.

"Why did you let this bastard escaped from her cell?" Malik asked with his domineering voice.

"My King. It's our fault. Before we knew it, she already arrived in here and tried to trespass that courtyard. Please punish us!" A guard explained.

Malik looked at Gail one more time. Her fear from Dark increased with the deadly glare of Malik to her.

"You want to know the answer of Third?" Lisorette suddenly asked her, facing the courtyard where the light is started to subside.

A pair of large wings snapped open from inside that made all the bamboo trees bend down. The bamboo trees gave Harriet a way. Harriet's eyes are like a pair of white rays, its glowing and erased Harriet's pupils. Her red and silver wings waved that made a strong wind that can be compared to a hurricane. Her nine red and silver tails are flowing along the gust of wind that is blowing with might.

"Her final transformation is now complete." Malik said proudly.

Lisorette nod with tears flowing through her cheeks.

Gail realized what they mean. But she don't want to believe in it.

A white tiger came with pumas around him. It's holding a bottle by its mouth and look around. Its eyes widen and shined with a few amount of tears when it saw Harriet. It transformed to its human shape that it turned out to be Silver.

"My King, my Queen. The antidote is here." Silver stated while kneeling in front of the couple while holding a bottle with white liquid.

Lisorette received it and smiled toward Silver. Malik turned to Gail.

"Seeing her is a gift for a traitor like you. But, knowing her name and serve her is and impossibility to a 'lowly human being' like you." Once again, her origin was emphasized like earlier.

"Helping Timothy and having a comfortable life inside your cell is a luck to a criminal like you. But messing up with her and also claiming what she have, is enough for me to behead you." Lisorette stated with her most calm yet dangerous tone.

"What a disgrace for us to raise and nurture you." Silver added while glaring at Gail.

Gail trembled tremendously until she was grabbed by the two prison guards and they flew up to the Heaven Realm to return to her cell.

Because of hate, she betrayed Heaven Realm by helping Timothy in the dark to abduct the Princess. But because of her foolishness, she never thought that there will be a witness. She was sent to prison a day after the incident. And until now, she is suffering from the crime she did. And the worst part is, Dark's heart will no longer can be obtained.

When the light finally dissipated, Harriet's wings closed and her body fall down gently with the help of the air and grass. The grass grew taller alongside with the trees around that received the light from Harriet.

Everyone run towards her. But they all can see was a peaceful face of a sleeping beauty. Her hair is not half red and silver that matches her tail and a pair of wings. Her skin is snow-white while her lips are bloody-red. This is a breathtaking scene especially to the five gentlemen.

Lisorette sat on the grass and opened the bottle of antidote and gently opened Harriet's mouth by holding her chin.

As the liquid entered her mouth, Harriet was sucked into an abyss of her lost memories.

Lurking in the dark, a black lion, red python and a red and blue qilins watched the grand scene. They finally witnessed the power of the woman their father insisted on them to marry. They finally understand what it feels like to be obsessed in a thing they can't possess.
