Chasing the Royalty | On hold

The siblings and Leo

A soft smile started playing on Kyra's face as the wind hit her face gently. Caspian, who was standing beside her, took the sword from her and went over to where Ayren was standing.

"You sure, brother? I ain't in the mood for being gentle," Ayren spoke, lifting his sword.

Kyra shook her head and went over to where Hayes, Zeid and Rose were sitting. Rose chuckled when she saw Ayren and Cas fight.

"Don't you want to fight?" Kyra asked Hayes. Hayes shook his head and put on his shades.

"Rude." Kyra took her seat beside Zeid.

"I want to hold him," Kyra said, looking at Leo who was sitting in Zeid's lap.

"No," Zeid replied.

"Why?"

"You stink of sweat. Leo doesn't like it." Kyra rolled her eyes.

"Zeid, we all stink and Leo is a werewolf too."

"He is a baby for now." Before Zeid and Kyra started their usual bickering, Rose interfered.

"Kyra, why don't you come with me? I will show you the clothes I bought in Paris," Rose said.

"I'm excited about showing you everything. I even bought new bags."

"Really? Then let's go. We don't have to sit over here," Kyra said, standing up.

"Yup." Rose looked at Zeid. "Do you want me to take Leo with me?"

"I will hold him, you two go and have some time alone," Zeid replied. Rose nodded her head. She patted Leo's head before leaving with Kyra.

Zeid pulled Leo's hand out from his mouth. Leonardo is 15 months old and is a curious kid. "No..." Zeid spoke gently when Leo tried to keep his hand in his mouth.

Kyra stopped walking when she felt someone looking at her from the east direction. She looked around and tried to find any smell but she wasn't able to smell anything.

"What happened? Why aren't you coming?" Rose questioned when she saw Kyra stopping abruptly.

Rose watched as Kyra kept looking in the east direction. "Did you see something?"

Rose looked in the direction Kyra was looking. "You felt something?"

"No, I just thought someone was over there."

"Should we inform dad and others?"

Kyra looked at Rose. "What? No? It must be someone from the kitchen. Mum hired new staff."

"Oh, you sure? If you feel something, we should tell others," Rose said.

"No― It's fine." Kyra licked her lips, pushing her hair back. "Come, on. I need to see the new collection and I need to take two or three dresses from the collection." Kyra winked at the end.

Rose chuckled, nodding her head. "It's Zeid's selection and I don't think you like his selection."

"He isn't bad." Rose and Kyra start walking into the palace while the men are back in the woods.

"I know right." They both chuckled when entering the back door. The palace had been renovated to their liking and Kyra was the one who suggested most of the changes.

Ayren places the books before Zeid and takes his seat. Zeid places his hand on the books and reads the title.

"Have you been reading them?"

"Yeah, you got a good collection," Ayren said. Zeid nodded his head.

"How are things at the new checkpoint?" Zeid asked.
