Chapter 28
The king and the queen sat on the sofa inside their bedroom waiting for Crysta, the bedroom door knocked loudly and the king shouted ‘come in’.
Soon as the King permitted, Crysta entered the room and bowed before the King and queen. The queen gestured at the single seater sofa and Crysta sat on that.
“Your majesty, I was informed you needed me for something.”
“Yes Crysta, we called you for a reason” the king informed making Crysta to have a questioning look on her face.
“So, Crysta, it’s almost a week. Did you find anything about Lily?” Queen asked Crysta and she hesitated and was guilty of not able to tell them truly.
Seeing her hesitate, the king and the queen frowned. Crysta never once delayed in her duty but seeing her expressions they can clearly see she is messed up.
“What happened Crysta? Why are you keeping quiet? Is everything okay?” the king asked and Crysta nervously nodded her head
Chapter 29 “Were you able to find what it was?” Eric asked and the guard nodded his head and pointed the room little far away. “Your majesty, we found two men lying unconscious near that lake and we put them inside that room.” As he finished saying that, the King and the Prince walked towards the room, three warriors were on the guard of that room. “Open the door, let’s see who had the guts to enter our kingdom without our knowledge “ the king spoke and the warriors bowed their head and opened the door. The king entered first, with the prince and the guards tailing him. As they entered, they saw two men lying unconscious. Eric peeked at the men and stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief and he walked near them to check them closer. “What the f*ck?? How did they get in here?” he murmured loudly. “Who are they Eric? Do you know them?” the king asked immediately seeing Eric’s reaction. “Yes,
Chapter 30 “ahem.. why? Isn’t she your soulmate? I guess she is the only one who could help you in this situation “ she said and Eric shook his head. “No, mom. I.. I..” he stuttered. “ahem... Crysta how long are you going to wait? Bring your daughter Adina, she might be able to fix him” she said winking at Crysta who tried to hide her smile. “Mom, please don’t bring Rachel. I.. I.. actually suspect her of some things “ he said not able to see Crysta. “Hmm, my son. I asked Crysta to call Adina not Rachel” the queen spoke and Eric looked at her with a frown. “What do you mean mom? Isn’t Rachel Adina?” he asked and everyone shook their head including Crysta. “What? Then… Who is she and who is the real Adina?” he asked in utter shock. “Oh,Let me, your highness. The girl you brought home, Lily, is my daughter Adina” she said and Eric’s eyes widened in disbelief. Crysta told him of everything a
Chapter 31 Eric and Crysta both walked near her and stopped. Looking around the place Crysta opened her arms widely, Lily was stunned seeing her mother initiating a hug in front of Eric. Still, she didn’t hesitate went and hugged her. Crysta gave a long tight hug for her and Lily giggled feeling the love of her mother. She didn’t get tired of her mother’s hug, which she started getting every time they meet for these few days. She enjoyed the warmth she got from her mother. After few long minutes she broke the hug though she doesn’t want to. Knowing Eric is near them, she released the hug and looked at her mother. “Mo.. ahem.. I mean Crysta, what brings you here” she asked nervously not casting a look at Eric. “I guess, one shouldn’t call their mother with their name like a third person” Eric said and for once she looked up and saw his face in shock, Eric gave a smirk at her. Crysta patted her shoulder nodding he
Chapter 32 Seeing the person sitting on the bed, Crysta was confused. Her mind was even more confused when Lily ran towards him and hugging him with overflowing happiness. Seeing the enraged Eric and confused Crysta, Steve smiled and thought of greeting them first and he did as he thought “Hello Prince Eric, nice to meet you,” he said, Eric narrowed his eyes and studied the man who knew his identity before anyone could tell. “Long time no see, Crysta. You don’t look aged” he said and Lily was more stunned to hear the words that came out of Steve’s mouth. Crysta looked at him and blinked several times to digest the news and her eyes started watering in few minutes, seeing her cry Steve forwarded to comfort her. Crysta hugged him and cried while he patted her back in comforting her, throughout this Lily was frozen on the spot of not knowing what is happening. But Eric was like a predator trying to catch his prey, watched the different behaviour of Steve from day 1 till now. Breaki
Chapter 33 “Steve. What did you do to me. ahhh…. Man…. Sis? Sister? Is that you? How are you? Are you fine? Did that Robert harm you? I will kill that rascal. Where is he?” Waking up with the pain in his head and looking at his sister reminded Shane about her disappearance, he spoke with anger evident but only got a smack on the head from Lily as a response. “Ouch.. what’s that for?” he asked rubbing his head not knowing why he suddenly got a smack from his sister. “For always acting beyond your age.” Saying she hugged him tight with some happy tears in her eyes. “And this?” he asked smiling, “This is because I missed my brother a lot” she said without breaking her hug and Crysta who was standing near Eric saw the bonding of two kids of hers with a tear-filled eye. Eric saw how Crysta wants to join the family hug but was hesitating and he thought to help her out so he pushed her a little forward. Seeing that Steve smiled stepping along dragged her towards those siblings and clea
Chapter 34 “He is not Robert, and he will not hurt me like that jerk did” she yelled at her brother equally. Eric who was trying to explain him froze on the spot hearing her say that, his heart started beating frantically. His face softened hearing her say that, Shane who was furious failed to notice it. “Yes, he won’t hurt me, alright? He had a situation back then. He was cursed like that by the same witch who killed our father.” She said with her shrieking tone reducing to a whisper at the end and Shane became silent hearing that. “And he.. he already has someone waiting for him and we... we are not what you think and nothing will happen between us” she said in a low voice pinching her thighs not to reveal her emotions, Eric who was listening to her words found difficult to breathe and wanted to tell her immediately that no one was actually there but found himself not saying anything. Though she said he will not hurt her, but the fact proved himself that she was hurt by him alr
Chapter 35 The cave keeps echoing the grunts and some magic explosions that was happening inside it. Thankfully, there are no animals or any other species around for them to get scared. Inside and at the corner of the cave was a goat, and a naked body of a woman with their head ripped and thrown in another corner of the cave. The woman with her black hair mixed with greys left it untied and open at her back. She danced with something like a root in her one hand, blood was applied on her face with different patterns and all over her naked body. She was dancing like a drunkard before a stone which was drenched in blood, the blood stench was covered the entire cave. Whatever she was doing did not help her to achieve whatever she wanted to, resulting in her grunting in irritation. She was ready to sacrifice another life to achieve that but suddenly the air in the cave turned thick, bringing a little smile to creep on her face. A dark black smoke in the form of a dragon head appear
Chapter 36 They reached Eric’s office room, and Eric turned towards Drew who stood there with a happy smile. He reached to hug Eric but was stopped by him. Eric gave him a long stare and an obvious glare. “Dude, I missed you. Won’t you give your friend a hug” saying Drew pouted his lips. “What the f*ck did you pulled out there?” he yelled at him and Drew gave a puppy face at him. “Dude, it was just for fun. Why do you take it seriously. You know I always does that” he said with a pout. “You scared her, stood there naked and flirting with her. What the hell man?” he yelled again with his raging heart. He is having hard time of not hitting his friend thinking about the incident. He got so many reasons to fight with him. How he scared her, how he stood naked, how he called her beautiful in front of him, how he winked at him, how he blew a kiss. Think about all this his fist tightened and his veins started protruding. He gritted his teeth thinking about her blush. He wanted her t
