05. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!(1)

The news about Allen's arrival had spread around the whole arena. No one had expected his arrival as it had been decades since he left. Rumors started going on regarding his arrival. Maybe the King was going to choose his next heir. Regardless of these rumors, none of them could stand solidly.

Allen brushed his hair and stared at himself in the mirror helplessly before staring at the wall. Calculating his days here in comparison to the human world, it was already two months since his departure. Would the boys be able to handle the pressure? Because on a normal circumference, the journey through the portal wasn't supposed to take more than a few days but because they had a stranger go through it, it changed the system.

His attention was called for when someone knocked on his door vigorously. He needed no one to tell him who it was. When the person didn't seem to relent, he walked towards the door and pulled it open, revealing Hezekiah with a mischievous smile.

"Hello there brother. A wonderful morning to y..." Allen slammed the door against his face before he could finish his words.

"Aw come on!" Hezekiah stomped his foot against the door and pushed the door open before entering.

"What do you want Hezekiah?"

"Why do you always attribute my kindness to something suspicious?" Hezekiah frowned and sat on his brother's bed. Allen didn't respond. He reached out for a jacket and wore it. He then walked towards the door, intending to leave Hezekiah alone but the stubborn boy refused to be carried away and jumped up swiftly on his feet to follow right after.

"Where are you going?" He asked him eagerly.

"Brother, where are you going?" He repeated but Allen paused and pushed him back slightly with his hands.

"You're not a kid anymore, Hezekiah. If you think you are, then look in the mirror and see for yourself." He retorted and Hezekiah chuckled.

"It seems staying in the human world has completely made you forget about what your world entails. I am the youngest in this house if you have forgotten, just because I have a well-built-up stature doesn't make me an adult. In comparison to the human world, I am not even fifteen years old yet... probably." He explained.

"So what then do you expect from me?" He added and looked into Allen's eyes with sparkles. The latter had to breathe in and out to exercise patience.

"I am going out now so don't follow me. I mean it. When I come back, we can do whatever it is that you want, okay?" He ordered and left. Hezekiah pouted and mumbled something under his breath before taking another path.

Sky was watching the scenario with skepticism. He wanted to have a word with Allen in private but seeing him now, he wasn't sure that this would be the right time to do this. His assistant was behind him, waiting for his next order.

"Follow him and give me feedback immediately you find something worth it."

"Yes, Your Highness." The fellow exited his presence quickly, hoping to catch Allen before he finally disappeared. As soon as Sky turned around, he met Diva who was dressed beautifully with silver ornaments designing her precious body. Diva was a distant relative, not by blood but she had the strong genes of a vampire. She couldn't turn into one in nature but only possessed a few characteristics. She smiled when she came in contact with Sky.

"Sky." Her voice was calmed like a silent ocean before the dawn. Many girls were so jealous of her classic and elegant behavior that she had been crowned the Princess of all seeing as the ruling royalty had no female. She was seen as a wise person and admired by all, she had been wooed by several men including Sky but her answer had been negative with the claim that she was just too busy for a relationship.

"Diva." Sky acknowledged her presence. Even though he was about to leave earlier, he turned and leaned against the staircase while Diva finally stood beside him.

"I am surprised to see Allen after all these years." She started and Sky looked at her for a while before nodding in agreement.

"Are you happy about his arrival?" She suddenly asked and locked eyes with him before he looked the other way. Why was she asking him this? Was it a tricky question?

"My mood regarding his arrival doesn't matter but his purpose for coming back. We all know Allen to be someone who acts unsure of certain actions and I have to ensure that things don't capsize." He responded wisely, avoiding the loophole dug for him. Diva nodded and didn't speak any further regarding the issue thereby welcoming the stranger - silence.

"I am sure you're happy." Sky spat out.

"You have always been by his side and you've always wished to be with him." He revealed and Diva smiled.

Sky bit his tongue. Wonderful, she was great at hiding her expressions - Mask girl.

"Have I?"

"It's clear you have. You wouldn't have gone this far and wide if not because you have feelings for him. So for others to be able to count you worthy enough to be with the great Allen, you had to work your way through to this place which I must commend is wonderful." Diva exhaled lightly, her smile had disappeared with worry replacing it.

"It isn't that bad, is it?"

"Well...no, but it becomes bad when your desires aren't met. The desire to be with Allen until you get some help...I don't know."

Diva cleared her throat and plastered her pretty face with a smile again, engaging her slender fingers in a smoothing treatment.

"Thank you for your kind words and observation, Sky. If you don't mind, please excuse me." She walked past him and Sky smiled evilly. Sometimes, what one wishes for doesn't take long to present itself to the table.

Allen had been walking around for a while and he stopped at a local shop to sit. Being the prince, he was given the respect needed but he couldn't care less. He was known for being bad most of the time after all. He was served a glass of red drink but he was less interested and started strategizing.

It was already getting dark time by the time he was done sorting out his problems. Jane couldn't have fallen to this side of the world. There were about four or five so it was most likely that she ended up in the most dangerous aspect of this world.

He stood up afterward and headed back to the palace coldly. On his way to his room, he met Sky. The two of them stared at each other, their eyes speaking the words instead.

"Father seeks for your presence." He delivered the message and left him quickly.
