Lost Times

Start Of War. (16)

They were about to leave sooner that morning. Jace spoke to Zian first.

"Thank you so much we owe you a lot. How much do we need to repay you.."

"It's okey you don't need to, you're all welcome."

Later then they leave Zian's uncle's house. And thanked him. They go to Leux Kingdom first before they went to Worelac castle.

Alice can't believe her eyes. When they went in there a lot of people suffered in poverty and are not treated equally a lot of people are being slaves by Ace. The whole Kingdom were miserable under the rule of Ace.

"It can't be.. Ace.." Alice whispered.

Sireine whistled and a messenger bird came to Sireine left arm. "Go find what they are up to." The bird flew to the castle.

"So this is it.. It's all ruined.." Said Alice.

"Yeah, it's Ace alright.. Our Father's greatest enemy." Sireine looked at Alice. "But your father and our father been long friends." Alice take glimpse of Ace. She nods. Then came the bird back to Sireine's shoulder. "Are they planning to attack?" The bird nods and looks like it was telling something, Alice was surprised at this. "Thanks. Here." Sireine give the bird a treat and flew away.

"So?.." Zian ask.

Sireine looked at them. "Not good. One of the soldiers escaped when we were busy fighting. Ace send an army to attack our Kingdom along with Ace. He will find try to find you Alice and if he does he will try to kill you by himself. It's okey Alice like we said, we'll help you.."

"Yeah, and we will help you bit Ace." Said Jace.

"Thanks guys. But what will happen to the people of Leux Kingdom." Alice paused. "My people I can't let them be harmed."

"We'll take care of it, right guys?." Sireine repeats. "I said right guys??.."

"Of course." Said Zian.

"Yeah that's right." Said Jace.

"Oh thank you so much." Alice hugged them, they embrace her back. Alice released them from the hug.

"We first need to let our father know about the sudden attack and maybe he can offers us help." Said Jace. "I'm gonna ask father."

Alice narrowed her eyes and look through the ruined Kingdom. "The war begins now.." She said quietly.

...

Sooner they've reach the Worelac castle.

"Dogs are not allowed inside the castle." Said one of the guard.

"You heard what the guard said." Zian whispers to Alice.

"Okey.." Alice leaned down to Wolfe. "You stay here.. We'll be back, I promised." Alice shakes Wolfe's fur. "Good boy.." Alice smiled. "Woof!" Respond Wolfe.

They start walking inside the castle people they passed are staring at them.

"Is it me or they keep on looking at us." Said Zian.

"Maybe because we looked like a mess..?" Alice and Zian chuckle.

Then they speak privately to their parents. Eireine noticed Jace bruises. "Is that you Jace? What happened to you? Are you alright?."

"I'll tell you about later."

James came toward him. "And who are they?."

"Father, we need to tell you something and its really important."

"I'm listening." Said King James.

"We need to evacuate the people." Said Sireine.

"Its Ace, father. Ace men recognize us and are now bringing an army with him. He will gonna attack our Kingdom." Jace said

"This is Alisson Leux of Leux Kingdom with her friend Zian Drail." Said Sireine.

"What?!. What are she doing here?! She's one of them! Guards!! Take her and her friend too.!" The guards take hold of Alice and Zian.

"Hey let us go!" Said Zian. Both trying to let go of the guards grip.

"Please father let them go.. Alice has nothing to do with it. Just let me explain first. Please.." Jace look straight to his Fathers eyes.

"James let our son explain." Said Queen Eirene. James looked at her then to Jace again.

"Hold." King James said to the guards gesturing his hands. "Now tell me, what is it..?"

"Alice or Alisson here is the daughter of King Erick. Ace killed both of her parents and now Ace is looking for Alice and he will kill her if he do."

"So can you please father let her go!." Said Jace.

"Ace's been our long enemy, we can't trust Leux." Said James. "And she's one of them. Enemy is an enemy you can't changed that." Said James.

"But like I said she has nothing to do with it."

King James look to his one guard. "You there tell them to evacuate the people." The guard nods.

"James." Eirene called her husband. "Your son's right let them go." King James remain silent.

"James let them go!" Queen Eirene repeats voice rising.

King James take a deep breath. "Let them go.." The guards quickly followed King James. Then one of the guards rush towards him and speak in a worry tone. "Your Highness, someone is coming.. With an army and they are many of them." Said the guard.

'Ace..' Thought Jace. They were all thinking the same thing.

"Prepare the men and protect the Kingdom, its time.."

"We'll go!" Said Sireine.

"Go.. Except for you Alisson and Jace, Jace, I won't let go on a mission looked like that." Said King James.

"But father, there's no time.!" Exclaimed Sireine.

"Just go clean yourself!" Said James.

Jace turned to Alice and looked through her eyes. "You stay. You'll be safe here."

"No, wait!." Alice called but both Jace and Sireine leaves the door while Jace go to the bathroom.

Jace wash his face with water and looks at the mirror he see himself with minor bruises. "We will win this.. No matter what." He said quietly. He suddenly thought of Alice "Alice.. Wait. What am I saying!?." He paused for a moment then formed a smile to his lips. "Oh well, I guess I fall on her after all." After he finished he got outside the castle, he saw Wolfe on where they leave him before Jace ignore it and go near to the battlefield. And protect not the Kingdom but for Alice also.
