8.17% His Witch Queen / Chapter 17: She's off limits

章 17: She's off limits

The sun rose in the sky. In the morning, King Vilas was making his way towards Alice's chamber in hurry. But then his steps halted when his general appeared by his side.

"We should talk before they come today, King Vilas." His general, Shane answered, looking straight into the King's eyes with determination.

Shane, being the one who handles the command of his army, is someone with whom King Vilas discusses strategies, after all, his loyalty lies entirely in the King's feet.

In return King Vilas showed his slight impatience, "I was going to Alice's room. Maybe we can talk on the way.."

"As per your orders."

King Vilas slowed his steps when the general kept his hands on his sword to start conveying the analysis, "King Almen's attitude on the last feast was disturbing and distant to everyone. On top of that, the mishap with the Princess has alerted several royals."

"How did this news travel to their ears then?" King Vilas asked with a straight face. His words put pressure over Shane when he nodded his head.

"Your worry is legit, my King. Princess was found in the basement and many of our soldiers saw a vampire… coming into our palace. It's hard to close the mouths of the maids." Hearing this, King Vilas had nothing else to say.

But in return, his brows shifted from their place upon the realization that hit up. 'I let a vampire carry my daughter..' At this moment, he understood how this sounded.

Moreover, if this came to Alice's existence, she would tear the man off with her anger. An unnecessary uproar will be created which he wished to avoid at any cost.

Turning his face in Shane's direction, he stared at the man to open his lips, "Make sure that no one reveals how we found her. Alice must not have her ears on this.."

Shane bowed in front of King Vilas. Keeping his head lower, he muttered, "All the maids will be instructed."

King Vilas nodded in satisfaction, knowing that if Shane had promised something, surely that would not take place anymore "Good."

Walking through the passage, the light sun rays started to fall on the path as the sun was rising from the east.

The palace of both sides was beautiful, to begin with, each one has its own beauty.

But Shane hadn't completed as when he cleared his throat to look here and there. On seeing that no one was following them, he whispered into the King's ears, "Your brother arrived today with his group. It is now riskier with the second... man's arrival...especially in this crucial time.."

But King Vilas showed no expression of surprise. He maintained the same composure as that of earlier. Neither did he display happiness, nor did he show any dislike towards the news.

"He is.. the bride's father. He was supposed to come." The benefiting answer of King Vilas wasn't satisfactory in Shane's eyes who saw it more clearly, "He is never in your favor. We already decoded his strategy and destroyed them before coming here. He must be really angry…"

"That doesn't concern you. Just keep an eye on each action." King Vilas replied with no dispute, although his guards were already raised.

Recalling how his own brother had made the entire plan to dethrone him, to claim the throne himself was already in front of his eyes.

Unfortunately, they successfully disrupted it without letting them know that it was his doings.

Shane's lips were sealed but they did when his eyes caught the two people appearing in front of them, straight from the corridor.

At the same time, Prince Cyrus and King Almen came with their soldiers at their backs. Upon their arrival, the Human Lord also brought his hands on his back and lifted his chin highly.

To look into their eyes, he removed his impatient and worried look. All that showcased was a pure non-emotional face.

King Almen had a faint smile when he approached them first, "It is nice to see you in the morning. I was going to send my soldier, asking to meet you."

"Then it was the perfect time for us to cross our paths." King Vilas answered, trying hard to not sound too soft either. "Very well! How is the girl whom you found last night now?"

King Almen's concern was purely fake, after learning that she wasn't Cyrus's bride-to-be. Neither was he interested to learn about her identity.

However, Cyrus, who stood with his father, had his plain expressions as well. Unlike the King, he had the curiosity to know, although his ally was already working on that.

To not reveal anything more, King Vilas bluntly said, "She is fine. The physician said that it will take few days but she will recover.."

"That is good to hear about, King Vilas. But it was making me curious why you brought a royal except your own niece here? It isn't very safe.." this time, before his father, Cyrus had opened his mouth.

His question didn't seem appropriate to King Almen but he didn't suppress it either. On the other side, King Vilas's eyes narrowed as if he sensed that the Crowned Prince was trying to extract the information.

"She is my daughter, Crown Prince Cyrus. Am I not supposed to bring my daughter here when her cousin is getting married?" He asked in the most intruding tone, making Cyrus slightly surprised.

What took over was the awkward silence which was followed by the deep silence between them. To break it, Cyrus let a chuckle escape his lips.

"Hah.. I didn't mean what King Vilas took my words into. I was just surprised for any other lady except my bride to be present here."

"She is off-limits, Prince Cyrus. You will be allowed to meet your bride very soon. Better if you invest your time and curiosity in her… In the right person rather than focusing on someone else's health."
