Beautiful Soul [Descendants Fanfic]

Ch. 26 The Red Rose Tavern

Liam approached Louis. His bright blue eyes intently stared at the older male. His hands tightly grasped his backpack since his best friend's letter was inside.

" Sir Louis!" Liam calls out.

Louis stops walking, and he turns to see Liam approaching him. His gaze softened since he felt an inkling in his heart that the young male was his son with his first love, Anastasia.

" Hello. Liam, is it?" Louis asked, wanting to make sure.

" Yes," Liam nodded. " I am sorry for taking your time. But. Is there a place where we can go to talk privately? There is something I need to give you," His bright blue eyes intently stared at Louis' gentle blue eyes.

" I was heading home to Cinderellasburg City, a three-hour drive from here. But, I can take you to Auradon City, which is closer," Louis rubbed his chin.

" And it's getting late, so you must be hungry. I can take you to this delicious French restaurant I know," Louis looks at Liam.

At the mention of food, Liam's stomach growled. He sheepishly nodded and walked with Louis to his car.

Louis unlocks his car, and the two males get inside the vehicle. They put on their seatbelts, and the older male turns on the car and leaves the school grounds.

" How was life at Isle of the Lost like?" Louis asked, wanting to converse with Liam.

Liam looked at the road, seeing Auradon City in the distance. " Isle of the Lost-" He whispered. His bright blue eyes softened, thinking about the loved ones that he left behind.

"-It may have its flaws, but it's home," Liam glanced at Louis. " Even though I am grateful to have the opportunity to live and study at Auradon, I will miss my loved ones," He sadly responded.

Louis nodded. He figured that Liam missed his mother, relatives, and friends so much since he was alone in a massive country. He briefly glanced at the young male, feeling determined to look after him during his time at Auradon.

" Who are your friends?" Louis asked.

" I have so many friends!" Liam widely smiled while thinking about his close friends.

Louis looks away, and his gaze softens, feeling glad that Liam is feeling better.

" But, I am close with Anthony, Zevon, and Uma since they are my best friends," Liam looked at Louis when he said Anthony's name. ' And one of them is your child,' He internally commented.

" I'm glad you have friends," Louis softly smiled. " How is she? How is Anastasia?" He asked.

Liam sat there, looking at Louis with a conflicting gaze since he didn't want to risk saying something and the older male losing it in the car.

" Anastasia is doing well," Liam whispered. " She is an amazing mother and loves her son and niece so much. She raises her niece as though she is hers," He warmly smiled.

" Drizella, as in Drizella Tremaine, has a daughter!" Louis exclaimed while shifting the car a bit but was able to bring it back to the road.

Liam nodded.

" Yes. Drizella's daughter is Dizzy Tremaine. She is so cute and very creative regarding fashion and hairstyles," Liam explained.

Louis' hands tightly grasped the steering wheel since he was shocked to hear that Anastasia's older sister had a child.

" So, Anastasia raises her child and niece?" Louis asked.

" Yes," Liam nodded.

Louis opened his mouth to say something, but he closed it, thinking it was best to ask Liam at a safe place.
