Ch-44
Dracie paced around the room, her impatience mounting with each passing moment. "Where the hell is that emperor hiding?" she exploded; her frustration palpable. She turned to Blake, her eyes narrowing. Blake braced himself for Dracie's outburst, his expression remaining calm in the face of her anger. "We are still searching," he replied, his voice steady. But Dracie was clearly not satisfied. Her frustration boiled over as she shouted, "Searching? It's already been 2 months, and you're still giving me the same response?"
Dracie's voice was cold and commanding as she made her demand. "I need his head right in front of me. I don't care how you do it," she said. Blake's expression betrayed a hint of unease, but he knew better than to cross Dracie. Blake nodded silently, his expression a mix of determination and apprehension.
He left the room, his mind focused on the task at hand. Dracie sank back into her seat, the cool liquid of her wine providing a brief reprieve from her frustrations. She took a sip, her eyes narrowing as her mind continued to whirl with plans and schemes.
Amelia's voice held a tone of concern as she spoke. "Why don't you guys come to our palace? You'll be safer there," she suggested. Luna chimed in, her words carrying a sense of practicality. "Yeah... and your parents will also feel better seeing you all." Jin responded firmly, his determination evident in his voice. "I know, but it's not the right time for us to go back. We will stay here and fight our enemy."
Amelia's words carried a sense of reason, her concern for the boys evident in her voice. "You need support," she stated, her tone earnest. "We don't know how many of them there are. What if you're outnumbered? You're just seven." Luna nodded in agreement. "And even if we help you, you still need an army."
Namjoon brought up a valid point, his voice tinged with worry. "Hyung," he spoke, addressing Jin. "I think they are right... How many will we fight? If we keep fighting their demons, then we will get tired quickly even before facing their boss." Jin's concern for the safety of those they cared about was evident in his words. He nodded, agreeing with Namjoon's point. "I know that.. But what if they attack this place when we go back?" he said. "We don't know if they already know we're back. I don't want them to harm anyone important to us."
Annalise's voice cut through the silence, her eyes fixed on Jin with a quizzical expression. "So, what are you planning?" she asked, her tone earnest. "I will stay here" The surprise on their faces was evident as they turned to see Junho standing there. "No way!" Jimin exclaimed, his voice filled with concern.
"We can't let you stay here in danger. You're coming with us." But Junho's determined expression remained unchanging. "Trust me... hyung," he said, when he called 'hyung' their gaze softened. his voice steady. "I can fight." Jin softened at the sight of the younger boy, gently patting his head. "You're too small to fight, we took your responsibility, we can't leave you here" Jin said.
Junho's words revealed a surprising secret, leaving the others in shock. "But I have... powers as well," he admitted, his gaze falling downward. Yoongi's curiosity was evident in his voice as he questioned further, "P-powers? What kind of powers?" Jungkook chimed in, confirming Junho's claim. "He has powers... I saw it last night," he explained.
"I don't think he's an ordinary kid. And i am not saying to leave him here all alone.. Hyung, i will stay here with him" But Jin's protective nature was evident in his response. "No way!" he exclaimed. " I am not letting you two stay here even if he has powers or not"
Annalise's protective instincts kicked in, her words firm as she refused to allow the kids to stay behind. "Yes, he is right.. you both won't stay here," she declared. "If anything, I am not letting you two, and Daisy, stay here. You're all still kids." Daisy's voice was small as she spoke about her past experience, her expression hopeful. "But I saved a life once," she said softly. Annalise's expression softened, the concern for her younger sister evident in her voice. "I know, Daisy," she replied, "but please, just listen to me for once. I care for you."
