The Good King

'Unpleasant Feeling'

Right before the sunrise , Ezra and Arion were already on their way , even those plains that seemed endless to the eye came to an end as the knight approached his next aim.

Asher walked into the second prince's room to find Aylin sleeping on the ground with a blanket covering her , Louis was on the chair besides him but once he heard the door opening he turned to see if Betty came back but he found the red haired knight waiting for him there and so he stood up and stepped outside the room.

''He says he will work for us , did you threaten him ?''

Asher asked

Louis forgot about the letter that was still cramped in his pocket as he replied

''I thought we can use this against him''

Then handed it over to Asher as they walked towards Elmer's room.

Ventaor was on the ground , many blood drops around the scene and the hunter's face was a little bit of a mess.

The second prince knew why Elmer handed him over to Asher , that man can be scary sometimes.

''Is he dead ?''

The prince jokingly asked

''I don't think so''

The knight replied

''Fine then''

Louis as he walked towards a flower's vase , he threw the flower's away and dropped that water on Venator's face.

''Time to wake up''

He said

The hunter was startled , he was not an easy once to be tamed is what Louis knew right away , if it was not for his girl he would have probably chose death.

Not because he's loyal but stubborn.

''You go back and tell Leo whatever I tell you to , or you tell him your story and find yourself a new lover''

The prince was really mad , especially after what happened to Elmer , he had no time to play around and was serious about every word he said or at least that's what his eyes showed.

His words shook the hunter's heart in fear , he was obviously left with no choices.

As the sun rays entered Louis's room , Aylin opened her bright eyes and woke up.

She noticed that Elmer looked a little bit better than last night and so she decided to go looking for Asher and Louis to see what happened to the hunter.

She knocked Elmer's locked room and once it was open she realized that two males she has been looking for are alone in that room and that Venator was gone.

''What happened ?''

She asked,

''We let him go back to report to Leo''

Louis replied,

''Leo ?''

The Petrian wondered.

''He's the current king''

Was the second prince's answer that actually surprised Asher.

''How is Elmer ?''

The prince asked.

''I think he's better than yesterday , should I go get Clair ?''

She asked.

''It's alright , I will go''

Louis left the room right after those words.

''You don't like him do you ?''

Aylin asked.

Asher looked away and tried to ignore her question but her sharp eyes were pointed at the knight seeking for an answer that she already knew.

Instead of answering Asher asked her a question.

''What about you ?''

With no hesitation she replied,

''He's not like the princes of fairytales but I like him''

''Why ?''

He found himself asking.

She thought for few seconds as if she did not know how to put it into words...

''His eyes tell me that we share the same pain''

Aylin finally replied.

''And he lends me books''

She then added.

Asher could not help it but softly smile replying,

''Alright then''

Clair came back to check on Elmer who has not woken up yet , his breathing and hear beating were steady , he had a slight fever but she still could not tell when he will gain cautiousness again.

She still checked his arm and applied the ointment once more , she then left it there in case they needed it.

They all had a strange feeling that they were not able to express , someone who was just fine smiling at you is now in a deep sleep and you do not know until when , it was not a pleasant feeling.

'To all those who think that their voice will never be heard , that they gave up on humanity and left Lydia in those filthy hands fearing for the lives of their beloved ones. ask yourself is this really a safe place for them ? if you have the smallest doubt about your answer then you must join us because all together , one day we must be heard'

''Daniel , who delivered this ?''

Henry asked

''I do not know''

The son replied

Those words moved something inside Lord Henry but not as much as it affected Daniel who has always longed for a better Lydia and with the chance coming to his door he would rather die than miss it.

The king was on his thrown waiting for someone , he was satisficed after Ren and Reina reported to him that Elmer has been sending and receiving letters from Elina , he really believed that he has him under control but still has to confirm by Venator's words to see it the hunter thinks that they are a threat or not.

''My king''

The hunter walked in and kneeled to Leo

''Finally , so how did it go ?''

The king asked

''Actually...''

Whether we're ready or not everyday has an end , Louis was in Elmer's room working on his plan , Aylin was not able to sleep as she prayed God while watching the moon to make the temporary freedom she has to last as long as possible.

Ezra was watching the night sky in a small village in Kardia's south while Asher was doing the night watch with a lot on his mind.

She was wearing a cape that hid all of her features as she sneaked in the darkness to that one room , she saw a light coming from the inside and had her hopes up.

Ida knocked on the door quietly and had to wait , she felt the light getting closer to her which made her heart beats louder.

The door was slightly open , her face softly smiled when he asked...
