Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge-Chapter 299 A Banquet For The Werewolf Princess

After that long passionate kiss, Kira drew back. However, he maintained their close distance, resting his forehead on hers. He cupped her face using both hands and caressed her cheeks using his thumb.

He was staring at her eyes, not leaving her face. With the remaining time they had, Kira wanted to look at her, engraving her lovely face in his mind.

"I will follow you there… as soon as possible," Kira made a promise.

Marceline could only nod her head, believing his words. "I will wait for you there. Find me… okay?"

"Yes. I know where to find you. You can also visit… the Valley of Promise. I will make sure to come once my task here is done." Kira mentioned the Valley of Promise. That place was his love nest with Selene before.

"I want to send you off… So I came…" Kira pulled her again into another hug. They stayed like that for several minutes.

Soon, Marceline heard her brother's voice, talking to her through their mind link.

'Father and Mother, they passed through the portal gate with Cedric. It is our turn next.' Dylan informed her. As much as he didn't want to disrupt the two, they must leave now.

'I got it, Bro. Just give me five minutes… to say goodbye to him,' Marceline responded.

'Sure, sis. Take your time.'

"Is your brother calling you already?" Kira asked Marceline. He somehow sensed that she talked to someone through the mind link.

Marceline just nodded her head. Kira hugged her tightly, making use of their remaining time together. They had to part for now.

"Be careful there… Don't trust anyone." Kira reminded her.

"I know…"

After sealing their lips with another kiss, the two of them said goodbye. Marceline had a heavy heart as she walked away from Kira. Meanwhile, Kira had to control himself, otherwise, he would come to her and never let her go.

Marceline gave him one last glance before the four of them proceeded to the portal. After a while, she turned around, looking at the entrance of the portal.

Natasha and Enrique were busy chanting the spell, making the portal open. Lyca glanced at Enrique. They couldn't recognize Lyca and Marceline as they were both wearing masks and cloaks to hide their faces.

'I guess… this is my final goodbye to you… Enrique," Lyca thought to herself as she gazed at him. She subconsciously tightened her grip that was holding Dylan's hand.

"Lyca, is there something wrong?" Dylan whispered to her. She just shook her head and shifted her gaze from Enrique to Dylan.

"Let's go," Dylan mumbled, guiding the three.

Little Lowell, Lyca, and Marceline finally passed through the portal. They stepped into the land of Phantasia.

When the portal was slowly closing up, Enrique tossed a look at them and he met Lyca's eyes. Lyca accidentally removed her cloak when she stepped into the other realm.

Enrique's eyes widened as he finally recognized her. "Lyca? Is that you? What are you doing there?" 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

But before Lyca could say a word, the portal gate disappeared along with them.

"No!" Enrique shouted, extending his arm towards the portal gate. But it has already disappeared.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Natasha stood up, following Enrique's line of sight. She wondered why he looked surprised.

Enrique gazed down and simply said, "Oh, it's nothing." 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

"Our task here is done. Let's go back!" Natasha mumbled, pulling her brother's hand. The forest looked scary at night. She didn't want to stay there.

Meanwhile, Dylan, Lyca, Marceline, and Little Lowell finally arrived at Kingdom Phantasia.

"Can you see the lights from here? That is our palace!" Dylan excitedly informed Lyca and Marceline.

Both women were amazed to see how beautiful the Kingdom Phantasia was, even at night. Vast land, forests with many trees, valleys and a big castle like in fairy tales!

"Wow, you have fireworks here too?!" Lyca said with amusement.

Dylan could only chuckle. Of course, they had fireworks. They have been exchanging goods and products from the human world for all these years. They also had modern technologies here like electricity and devices.

"Let's go to the palace. But we will pass through the secret passage. We need to change our clothes. There is a banquet tonight to welcome the King and Queen. Of course, this is a special occasion to introduce you to the werewolf council and the elders."

"This is your big night, sister!" Dylan added, wrapping his arm around Marceline's shoulder.

Marceline glanced at the castle in the distance. She was somehow nervous. There was no backing down now. She only had to move forward and do her mission.

Marceline looked at the sky. There was a moon tonight and millions of stars.

'Moon Goddess, please guide me…' She mumbled inwardly, trying to calm herself down.

Marceline took a deep breath, grabbing Little Lowell's hand. She would be brave and become a werewolf princess worthy of their respect. She had to gain power and authority over their fellow werewolves.

"Brother, we have to catch Cedric tonight. He is a great threat to our clan. He might try to assassinate one of us again as he wants the throne for himself. He is a greedy werewolf!" Marceline recalled the most important mission tonight.

They wanted to push Cedric in the corner and capture him. They identified him as a dangerous enemy… more dangerous than a vampire. His skill was deception and betrayal. He was someone who shouldn't be trusted!

But then again, Dominique was also the best example of that. He was the one who deceived Kira, the former King of Phantasia. He was the first one who betrayed him.

What if Cedric was his own karma? Dominique experiencing the same betrayal from his werewolf general might be his karma for his evil deeds. He was very fond of Cedric. But Cedric was thinking of ousting him out to become the new Werewolf King.

"Sigh. I don't know why our fellow werewolves are greedy for power. I don't want to be a King. I just want to live freely and happily together with my mate!" Dylan mumbled, squeezing Lyca's hand and pulling her closer to him.

Marceline could only flash her bittersweet smile. This war started because of greed… a greed of their father, Dominique. She wondered if she could change her father.
