Chapter 27

Canton was walking down the dark hall when a knife was pointed against his throat making him freeze in place.

His eyes didn't widen at all, he just stood there, silent and emotionless, not turning around.

"Don't scream, I need to to talk to you, prince Canton. I don't want to hurt you but you should come with me." Santos whispered.

Canton sighed against the knife, feeling bored now "fine."

Santos led him into a tiny, abandoned room into the castle.

He closed the door behind him, the knife now pulled away.

Canton exhaled and sat on a chair he found there and waited for Santos to start talking.

"I'm sorry for doing that, your highness. I thought it was the only way for you to follow me here."

"What do you want? I thought my dad was very clear with his orders."

"But you can help me. Please, prince Canton. I desperately need your help."

"There's nothing I can do, Santos. I'm not gonna oppose to my father, so if that's why you wanted to talk to me, you're wasting your time."

"There must be something you can do." Santos said, his tone tensed. "This is my only dream. And I know I'm better than her. I'm way better than her. She's not worth it. She's not worthy of this position."

Canton removed himself from the chair and started walking towards the door. "My hands are tied."

Santos closed his eyes shut. "I'm dying."

Canton stopped walking. He turned around again.

Santos opened his eyes but didn't look at Canton. "Third stage cancer. I don't have much time left." His voice broke a bit at the end. "I need your help." he whispered at last.

ODA

"What if they're dead?"

My eyes were widened.

I kept shuddering at the thought that something could have happened to Errot.

That he might not be breathing right now.

"Don't say that Oda.." Elvina said and I heard how hard it was for her to keep herself together and not freak out right now.

"Yeah, you're both so melodramatic." Santos mumbled while rolling his eyes and looking away from both of us.

He was the one that opened the door for us and filled us in-in everything that happened after Canton locked us inside the room.

Nobody thought it would be a good idea to tell me that everything that happened with Santos was just a plan.

It seems that I had to find out about it last.

He then stayed with us for a while. He kept leaving to do his job but he would always come back.

We don't know yet if Nerissa is working behind Canton's back but Santos is fairly convinced since she was stalking Elvina and Canton a day ago.

And if the Lytteltons are not in this island anymore then here's all the proof we needed.

But nobody has a clue of what happened to Canton and Errot after they walked through that portal.

Their phones are in the castle so it's impossible to contact them somehow.

We can only hope that they will come back soon.

"We are not melodramatic, Sant. Their lives are on the line, right now." Elvina said, her voice a bit tensed.
