Chapter 138 – [Bonus Chapter] Stranger
Gavon eyes darkened with anger, his guess is correct and he will lure those people out, "Who is that person? Do you remember him?"
The culprit shivered and his mouth dried, his whole body is aching with pain but the fear is making him speak "No, we don't know. He is our messenger and I will remember if I saw him."
Gavon looked at the person beside him and ordered "Summon a sketch man and asked him to draw the portrait based on this person's description." He turned to the culprit and added "If you dare to mislead us then consequences won't be good."
The head and Gavon came outside to discuss a few things, in the middle of the words the head added "My Lord, there is an unusual scenario, which was witnessed by the soldiers in the cave."
Gavon frowned and waited for him to complete his words "T-They saw in one of the rooms the walls are tainted with blood."
Gavon then remembered the scene where he kicked the Achrel and his body turned into pieces, he want to find out the reasons for that as well. He looked at the head and ordered "Inform the soldiers to water the whole cave and plant danger symbols around it. Seal it, I have few doubts on our enemy, I think he is using some unspoken methods."
The head nodded and added hesitatingly "But, My Lord we didn't find the enemy body."
Gavon thought for a few seconds and lied "Yes, he escaped. He captured me in the net and escaped when he sensed our troops nearing us. Alert the people in the borders and make sure the guards should patrol day and night. I will inform the palace to add the salary for the night shift guards."
Head nodded his head and his face become serious when he learned their enemy is escaped, he want to ask a few questions but seeing the tired face of his lord he didn't probe further. After discussing a few important things Gavon left the place.
After that, he went to the palace to update the status in the court and heard about the King's sudden visit to borders, but he didn't care about the King's affairs for now and completed his task. He had a hunch that he will get his son back taking this situation as a chance.
Gavon doesn't want to waste his time here thinking about unnecessary people, he wants to go home and take care of Ivy. With that thought in mind, he completed his tasks and left the palace.
As expected the next day King arrived with the Prince and informed the ministers of the reason for the prince's return, the ministers are elated when they know the reason. They are happy even it is not successful because with their King's guidance the Prince will awaken his blood sooner or later.
Like that the Prince Aaron return from the border and settlement in the palace is done. Simon and Bratton didn't object because it is linked with their kingdom's next king.
But Calvin who is working with Gabriel for the last few decades sensed something abnormal in the behavior of Prince. As the person who is working closely with the King, he can sense the aura of the person who is near to awaken or fully awaken their Drackston blood.
The king might not notice due to his eagerness to see another heir waken their blood but as the side person who is well aware of the change in the person whose Drackston blood is awakened can sense the change.
Aaron's aura didn't change a bit and he is not even near to the first step, but on the same day, he stumbled the way with Gavon and was shocked to sense the familiar aura.
Calvin was dumbfounded by the turn of events and thought 'This is bad. I have to take action.'
Unknown of the things that Gavon secret was known to someone Gavon was busy in taking care of Ivy and Lyo. He came to his mansion to prepare a few clothes for Ethan and Lyo, he can order the people to do so but he planned to visit the Lyo so he want to bring them with his own hands.
The mansion lost its liveliness without any person living here, Gavon went to their rooms and packed the things required, he also went to his room and got freshened up before coming down.
When he is crossing his study room he heard a sound coming from inside, he went towards it and opened the door. The room become silent and he saw the pigeon near the window with a letter in its beak.
Gavon frowned and went towards it to get the letter, he know who sent the letter to him, their well-wisher. An anonymous person who is helping the trio in particular Gavon secretly from their childhood.
They only know that the person is residing in the palace, other than that they are not aware of the details. They want to do a background check on this person but he never posed a threat to them so they ignored him. He is the one who informed them about the king's decision to marry Ivy to him.
Gavon took the letter from the pigeon and sent it away, he opened the letter and read the content, a frown appeared on his face and after reading the all details his face hardened. He crushed the letter and tore it into pieces before burning it.
'How did he know?'
At the same time in the palace, Andrea is waiting for her maid. She sent her to bring the mysterious person who offered help to her. She wants to take this chance to get her revenge on the people who looked down on her.
Amidst her thoughts she heard a knock on the door, she informed the person to enter. No one comes to her room other than her servant. The servant entered and bowed before informing "Your Highness, the person is in the living room."
"Really?" Andrea stood up with excitement.
"Yes," the servant meekly nodded.
"Great, let's go and have a look." Andrea was excited to meet the person who is going to help her in getting her revenge.
"But, Your Highness." the servant want to speak something but hesitated.
Andrea got irritated and asked, "What now?"
The servant shook with fear and managed to say "T-That person seems to be dangerous. Please think once before agreeing to his request."
Andrea slapped the servant hard making the latter fall down. Andrea pointed her finger and added "How dare you? A low life like you dared to warn me about my decision. Who gave you that right? Huh?"
The servant kneeled and pleaded "I apologize for my words, Your Highness. Please forgive me."
Andrea sneered "Know your place." With that, she left the room and went to meet the person.
The servant wiped her tears and sighed to herself. She also followed the princess to the living room.
Andrea entered the room and saw the man sitting in the chair clad in black, his face is also covered with a black hood. Andrea got annoyed seeing his lack of respect for her and shouted "You, don't you know how to behave with a princess? Stand up this instant."
The man chuckled and leaned back in his seat and sat in a relaxed manner, his hood slid down but his face is covered with black cloth, only his eyes are revealed. Andrea was stunned by seeing his eyes, they are in light green color which resembles a snake. She shivered instinctively by looking at them.
"Princess," his voice contains a sense of danger, "Please sit."
Andrea's mouth dried just looking at him and listening to his voice. She didn't dare to disobey this man and sat in front of him without making any noise.
"W-who are you?" Andrea's voice shook.
The person chuckled lightly before adding "You don't have to know princess, but you can call me Peril."
"Peril?" Andrea thought that he is a young age man after looking at his body and listening to his voice but the aura around him is telling otherwise.
