My Crazy Master

While Old Reyes questions the mage servant, Cressida had gone to sit at the courtyard all alone. Some minutes later, Stefan came out to join her.




" I have only heard of Fendril, it's such an incredible infirmary. There are all sorts of medicinal herbs and poisonous ones too." Cressida said, looking steamly at Stefan.




"I am sure these eye drops will make your eye color faint. Lie low and live as Cressida, that's all I can do for now." Stefan seemed not to have gotten the hint, he took a sip of the drink Cressida had made and kept right there by her side.




 " You are wrong, I want you to be my lake Kindermiota. You said you risked your life many times for me, so do it again one more time."

It appears that what Stefan drank was actually poison. He started feeling the effects after a few minutes of consuming the content of the cup.




"It may be pretty painful." She continued.




The tea cup Stefan held fell to the ground as he struggled in pain." What did you put in there?" He asked, holding his stomach with a fainting face.




"One of the poisonous herbs. I am betting everything on you, so I hope you will survive." She said,

His face stretches out with veins and begins to swell up.




" If you do, I will be your master." Stefan fell to the ground holding his stomach and throat, choking and almost losing his breath when Old Reyes and Petrova ran into the scene.




"Stefan, Stefan, what's wrong with you? Stefan." Both Old Reyes and Petrova Theodore shouted out at the same time.




"What is wrong with him?" Petrova asked Cressida who had just stood there to watch them both trying to revive Stefan.




"He ingested poison." She answered.




"Poison? What poison?" Petrova asked in shock.




"His heart is going to stop in six hours." She continued.




"What poison was it?" Impatiently, Old Reyes screamed out at her.




"It will be too late by the time you find out and concoct an antidote. There is only one way to save him, open his gate of energy and remove the poison with both of your energy." Cressida was very clear in her statement and determined to open Stefan's gate of energy.




"What?" Petrova Theodore and Old Reyes were both provoked.




"Open his gate of energy, or else he will die."







Trevor hears of this and out of fear and grief runs to inform Morgan in the palace. On getting there,he runs into Morgan who was just about to step out.

"Morgan, Stefan ingested poison. They said he is going to die. Trevor was in the pool of his own tears.




"What?"




"Cressida was the one who gave it to him, but she would not say what kind of poison it was, so my uncle is torturing her right now." Trevor said, almost tearing up.

Morgan was all lost, shocked and speechless. 

      Cressida is tortured and strung up by Petrova Theodore and questioned to reveal the identity of the poison she mixec for Stefan to drink, but all effort made was to no avail.

Stefan struggles for his life on the sick bed, where Old Reyes and Lady Kimberly stood watch over him.




"Young master, young master, please open his gate of energy, that's the only way. We're running out of time, please… save young master Donovan's life." She cried out on her knees to Old Reyes. Old Reyes was also known as Master Ramirez Lewis.




Master Ramirez Lewis then enacted the water powers over Stefan, opening his gate of energy.




One of the mages ran into the room where Petrova was torturing Cressida to inform him of it.

"My lord."




"How is Stefan? Did something happen to him?" Petrova asked the mage curiously.




"Master Ramirez Lewis removed the poison, young master Donovan is safe now." 




"Did he concoct the antidotes?




"No, my lord, he opened the young master's gate of energy." For a few seconds, Petrova was scared.

 Cressida stays awake long enough to learn this before scoffing… and passing out.




On the sick bed, Stefan slowly opens and begins to scoff and breath very fast.

" Young master Donovan, are you awake?" Kimberly, who was keeping watch over him, quickly ran to help him sit up.

As Stefan sits up, he looks around himself for a while. He looked pearly and worn out.

" Am I dead or alive?" He asked.




"Uuh, uuh, You're not, you barely made it out, Master Ramirez saved you by opening your gate of energy."




"He opened it?" Stefan was shocked and excited at the same time.




" Cressida, that lunatic would not tell us what kind of poison you took. So he had no choice but to do that to remove the poison." Kimberly never liked Cressida from the start so she hated her even more now.




"Where is Cressida?" Stefan remembered that she had told him of making him a bet.




"She was tied up the roof and tortured by Petrova."

Stefan on hearing this hurries to the courtyard where she was tied. 




The Illuminating brightness of the wall lamps, terror belts and a figure hung up on the ceiling with face down, body breathless full of blood stains especially on the face and fainting as Stefan walks amidst weakness into the courtyard he first paused to get a glue of what he just saw.




"Cressida…" he said at first. "Cressida" he finally creamed out as though his tongue had been released. Stefan reaches out quickly to the rope extension by the wall and releases it. The almost lifeless body of Cressida fell to the floor.

" Cressida… Cressida, Cressida" he crawled to where her body was, lifted her up and kept calling until she opened her eyes slowly. Stefan was relieved she was still alive.




"Both of us would have died, you're… you're really crazy." Stefan was all emotional.




"So you survived? My pupil" Cressida has lost so much strength to the torture that her voice was almost not heard.




"Yes I did, I almost died thanks to you, my crazy Master."
