Legacy: The Unravelling

XXXVII

-I gotta admit that those were good arse-whooping sessions you pulled down there.- Evan admitted when they were all gathered in the apartment a few hours later.- It was really problematic to explain what had happened to Viktor's lip. -

-At least I did not have a bruise on my chin unlike you.- the blond teased as he drank his coffee beside Kiara.- It was an unforgettable sight how you struggled to stop Renly from prying more. -

"The guy has been absent for a week maybe, and the first time we ever get to see him after a while, not only did he look rejuvenated when he saw us, but I could even swear that I saw a hint of amusement and curiosity in his eyes.

So yeah, it was pretty hard to keep him out of our business."

"It sounds just like Renly," Kiara thought unable to hide a grin as she imagined the situation and drank another sip of her peach and strawberry juice, which resembled her hair that was nearly back to its natural shade now.

-I would have done anything to see that.- Dante joked as he claimed that the youngest triplet was scary and that might even be the protagonist of his nightmares.- I just cannot see how he could be a male replica of this beauty here.-

Kiara, still taking a sip of her juice, raised one of her eyebrows in a questioning manner, her eyes sharpened enough for Liam to gently place a hand on her thigh in an attempt to ground her and calm her at the same time.

-Well, I do.- Viktor continued the joke.- She even had the same stare for a second there, but the one that will totally amaze you is James! -

-The casanova? -Stefan inquired with a side grin.- What is there of him to amaze us? -

-That is just a facade, he can be just as scary as my girl there or as my disappeared buddy.- Viktor shrugged.-

-We drifted away from what you came for.- Jasper reminded with a bit of exasperation evident in his tone.-

-Yeah, sorry.- the blonde apologised before nudging Evan who was already done with his coffee.- Would you mind? -

-Thanks to that very insightful 'arse-whooping' that we engaged a little bit back, we might have a glance at your skills.- Evan complimented with a smirk that later turned into a serious expression.- Though I am pretty sure that there is still more to you just as how there is more of us too, but that will suffice... Anyone hurt? -

-Just some bruises and muscle aches, nothing we cannot handle. - Freya replied nonchalantly. - We will be just as fine as if we were spotless. -

-We must do so today I am afraid. - Kiara added, sharing a quick look with her team. -

-So you don't mind we do so early in the morning? - Viktor asked. -

-We don't. -they agreed. -

-In that case, start packing because here's what we are going to do. -the blonde announced. -

"You said that you were not able to exit like a normal person due to travel restrictions thanks to the medicine that you are trying to sneak out of here, so I discussed it with Evan and we might be able to help you lot to get out of here by disguise.

Nobody, if they even noticed or saw you, could bring up any claim against you because you would be travelling with both of us and, in case you haven't noticed yet, I am the heir to Rhean and the first-born son of their ruler who is also one of their commanders, though I am sure you already knew that.

The reason why we asked of the time was that during the early morning, the night shift is either tired or just eager to get out of their posts and just so happens that my brother and I usually arrive and leave around those hours, so they are used to seeing us pass around then, which is also why they wouldn't stop you.
