Sean was forced to walk towards the parking lot. The coldness of a gun still pressed firmly on his back. The moment they were out of the mall, a black van pulled up to the gate, and he was being pushed inside, squeezed in between the one who grabbed him and another bulky guy that he didn't get a chance to look at his attacker's face before a piece of black cloth blindfolded him. As the car drove away, only darkness that filled his vision.
"Where to, boss?" asked one of the men. Sean guessed that he was the driver since the sound seemed to be coming from the front.
Why do I find this voice so familiar? He thought to himself, wondering where he had heard the voice of the driver before.
"To the outskirts of town. There is an abandoned old building where no one dares to
Walking out of the restroom, Oswin was still frustrated in finding a way to track Sean that he didn't notice a tiny figure around his waist approaching him. And instead of getting just one of his legs hugged, both legs were wrapped tightly this time, preventing him from moving even one step. "Not again!" he groaned before looking down to see a blonde girl with round blue eyes and an oval face shape looked up at him. "I'm in a hurry, little human. Let go before I hurt you," he said in a stern tone. Unlike the boy from before, the girl didn't cry. Instead, she smiled at him innocently. "You're Sean's boyfriend, aren't you? Hi, I'm Carina" "How do you know, Sean? Do you know where he is? Tell me!" "I just saw him here before he went to the restroom with my dad."
"Oswin!" Sean exclaimed with enthusiasm and hope. As he had guessed, his boyfriend always appeared when he needed him, just like that night."So, our hero arrives, huh?" Benji uttered with a sneer as he moved to stand behind Sean. "Well, come in."Oswin's eyes immediately landed on the very one he had been anxious to meet. His Sean. But the sights that greeted him were a swollen cheek and a cut lip, making fury creep up to every inch of his body. "You! How dare you touch him?!" Oswin growled and dashed to where Sean was, but approximately twenty men blocked him. "Move!""I'm afraid these guys only listen to me, hero," said Benji proudly. A triumphant smile plastered all over his face."Fine then. If they don't move, then they will be moved." Oswin glared at the guys enco
Aside from several scratches and bruises, Sean suffered no injury. However, his entire body went numb. Every part of his limbs became heavy, as if it weighed tons of kilograms. His internal organs began to shut themselves down when Oswin was no longer listening to his words. He asked his boyfriend to open his eyes, yet the latter refused to do so. Sean demanded an answer when he called his loved one's name, but Oswin stubbornly kept his lips shut. Though he knew it wasn't intentional, it still pained him to the core, for this involuntary recalcitrant could only confirm one thing.His beloved, Oswin, was dead.The immortals couldn't die due to natural causes, but it didn't mean they couldn't be killed."Oswin, h-how c-could you?" Sean asked his question in between a hiccough, wailing like a three-year-old. "How do yo
The chamber of Aldous's second prince was dark and quiet, even though the night was still young. Having no improvement since the accident with Judas happened, Chester was still lying unconscious on the bed. His face was getting paler, so were his lips. His body remained still, right where Alessa and Rosalina had left him, never moving even a single inch since that night when he was tucked in. However, even when it was only for a few seconds, his fingers did show a tiny action. And that wasn't the only part of his anatomy that moved. As his fingers moved, his eyelashes fluttered as if he was about to open his eyes. Sadly, that wasn't the case. The eyelashes only moved subconsciously to the movement of the tears that were streaming down the pale face, bidding goodbye to the brotherly connection between the Wangs brothers that suddenly got lost into a bottomless
Inside a small room where a one-way mirror replaced a window sat Sean with his shoulders slump in exhaustion. His hands were handcuffed to the surface of the cold table. For the entire time, he kept staring down and fidgeting with his fingers without looking up at the interrogator.The interrogation was already conducted half an hour ago, and Sean already gave his confession. However, another person appeared not long after, preparing to repeat the same thing all over again. It confused him somehow, yet he neither had the curiosity nor strength to bother asking."Mr. Sean, are you sure you won't be needing a lawyer?" asked a man in wavy brown hairs, oblong face-shaped, and stubble beard along his jawline. His eyes, though small, depicted a blue color similar to that of the ocean. He was dressed in a neat dark grey suit, and red tie perfectly ironed, leaving no single crease on the fabric. "Even though it was a self-defense case, a man's lif
"You what?" Karras's polite manner dissipated after hearing that his king was injured. "How could you hurt your own husband just because he wanted a night with you?" His feet subconsciously began to move, bringing his body forward to where Rosalina was. The matter of status was absent from his mind."Stop right there." Aiken unsheathed his sword and landed it on Karras's shoulder from behind, making sure the sharp edge was touching the side of his neck but not cutting.Garry flicked his hands to produce the grey magic lights and moved closer to Rosalina in the means of protection. As for Alessa, even though she neither unsheathed a sword nor conjured up his magic, she was standing on full alert. She was ready to protect Aldous's youngest princess if things were getting out of hand.Glaring at Aiken from the corner of his eyes, Karras turned back to Rosalina. This time, he calmed himself down before asking. "Princess Rosali
"Hold on! There is no such deal!" exclaimed a voice from behind Rosalina.Before the youngest princess could turn around, she found herself being swirled on her feet to the point that she almost lost her balance."Princess Rosalina, are you out of your mind?!" Garry stepped out of his place and headed to where Rosalinda was. He grasped her shoulder and turned the small frame to face him. "Did you realize what you just said?"His penetrating voice and stare sent goosebumps all over Rosalina's body. Not only that, he was shaking her so hard that she had to close her eyes to stop the dizziness from consuming her."Garry, please, calm down. You're hurting the princess," said Alessa, appearing right by the two lovers' side instantly with no footsteps heard. She placed a hand
Inside a room where almost everything was white一a white canopy, curtain, and sheet, Rosalina stood behind a four-folded white screen with cherry blossoms drawing a river when a knock came from the door. Stepping out, she hovered her hand and opened the door with her magical white light to reveal a smiling Alessa and a frowning Garry on the other side."Princess Rosalina, I have brought Garry upon your request. However, he was so stubborn in coming here, so I have to use my magic to bind him." She shoved Garry inside, making the latter stagger on his feet. "Forgive me for being rough, general Garry. But you were too stubborn."Alessa gave Garry her signature smile, despite the fact that the latter glared at her with eyes that could make spitfire. If a look could kill, then Alessa would have been wounded in thousands of places already.
