To my fellow reader,

First and foremost, I would like to apologise for the overstretched hiatus. It is a failure on my part to not have organise an upload schedule for the following chapters and making empty promises which I wouldn't be able to fulfil. As at the time, I had schooling and studies to balance alongside this project; which I lacked the discipline and dedication to see it to the end.

Now, I wish pick it up again.

However, I may not be able to complete it here on .

In late October in 2017, two countries had held a ban over , which ceased access to the site on all Internet Service Provider of the area, and as a citizen of the area of the ban, I hadn't been able to access the site unless I were oversees; which had been few and far between. I'm aware of some loophole other writers had found to work around it but I'm afraid that I won't be able to get chances like these later down the line. Therefore; I would be posting a link to another account where I'm more active and I'll soon be posting a remastered-edit of the Shadow and the Queen's Guarddog, once it is ready.

Again, my deepest apologies for not returning sooner. I should've cut the story short to save the trouble for everyone. But I'd been too naive and ambitious with this piece, till it was almost left to be forgotten.

And now after two years of dust had settled, I still couldn't believe that there were still many readers like yourself; waiting and bookmarked this piece for the next update. I truly though that this had been dead by the time I've entered the site.

I want to thank you for your dedicated patience for following this story. And for leaving reviews at the end of every chapter; I want to make it up to you all. But only in due time.
