"Where did he go?" The MAN seated across a table with his legs resting on it, crossed against each other, asked. His eyes were closed, resting against the wall. But he wasn't asleep. "He went to the Orphanage home, my Lord." The corners of his mouth lifted followed by a dark chuckle, "The idiot never ceases to amaze me." He commented "Who did he go with?" "Valen." The reply came instantly. The man paused a finger in the air. "Valen? Hmm." Another smile appeared. "This love... It's growing so fast. Just too fast for my liking. The wife is supporting her husband." There was a brief silence before the spy decided to ask, "What do you suggest that we do, my Lord? Should we have the children taken away?"The man's eyes then opened, and he sat up but with his legs still in that same position. He frowned, appearing disciplined like a teacher whhad o just heard some forbidden words from a student, "Why?"The man on his knees couldn't say a word. He wasn't

Valen entered the room where Jethrom had been locked. Outside the room were stationed two guards who immediately peeped in as Valen made her way towards him. Jethrom was sitting on a bench, resting against the wall with his eyes closed and hands tied. He didn't open them even after sensing someone's presence within the room. "Jethrom," She called firmly, and only then did he open his eyes to look at her. They were empty and almost lifeless. Valen felt that same pity for him. She had gotten permission from the King to come speak to him and convince him first before they decide on extracting the truth out of him with tough punishment. Because the truth remained that Jethrom was still like a family to her — maybe a distant one but they knew each other. It wouldn't hurt her to fight for him but only if he was willing to be fought for. She exhaled heavily and then dropped low, bending with her knees barely touching the ground as she clasped her fingers. Her face turned serious

The kids were all led to another huge room inside the palace. The perpetrators who were caught were taken to the dungeons. "Won't they be treated? They will bleed to death before they even get to suffer for their evil deeds." Lucan said worriedly to Aldridge who was busy dusting off dirt from his clothes. "Don't worry too much, darling. The poison is going to prevent them from bleeding too much. It's not meant to kill them. It would just render them unconscious for some hours and weak for months or maybe years depending on the dosage." He shrugged nonchalantly and then looked at Iza who was busy giving instructions to the guards. "But seeing that he was the one who put the poison on, they're going to remain completely weak and paralyzed for life." He said and took off his coat. "What about the King?" "He went to address something. He will be back soon." Valen answered. "How do we arrange the kids? They are in a horrible state already. Do we feed them? C

"What are the suggestions that you have?" Rhydian asked as he touched his chin briefly. His eyes lingered on his men and his woman who were seated calmly in front of him. "We have agreed that these kids can not be used as some sort of gift or whatever, right? That means we need a better way of alliance with them. What should we do? What gifts should we bring to them? How should it be presented? Do we send a message to all Alphas requiring them to see them?" He pressed forward in his questions. "My Lord, I don't think sending messages would be good," Aldridge spoke up, taking the chance before anyone else to speak. "So what do we do?" "I think it would be better if we follow this discreetly. If we take these steps without making it seem as if we're alerting everyone." "Stop speaking in parables, Aldridge, and get to the point!" Rhydian cut in with a sharp glance. "I apologize, my Lord. What I mean is that you should try to meet one of the Alphas and

"How can they even do this to us?" Seraphim sobbed as she attended to her husband's injury, wrapping his arm with a bandage after applying some ointment to it. "Is Valen even safe there anymore? I don't know. I honestly do not know. This is too much for me to bear. If they can come at us like this, that only means that something has happened over there and Valen might not be alive anymore or might be under the mercy of that evil King." She began to form her conclusions already. "This might be their way of making an announcement of who the real owner is. I don't know, I'm scared. I shouldn't have let Valen leave. My one and only daughter. All of these are our fault. It's my fault." She broke down in uncontrollable tears and wept bitterly. Not even Draegon could comfort her. He didn't have the strength to do so. He was physically and mentally worn out and at this point, he was also on the same bearing as his wife. He was doubting whether his daughter was alive anymore an
