Ignoring all the ministers' strange gazes, Caelan followed his father, his mind now filled with a lot of questions. His father's peculiar behavior had not gone unnoticed by him.
When Commander Aylin had revealed about a mysterious entity abducting the Alpha of Renada, he had seen his father's eyes go wide for a moment. Even his face had lost all its color. It was as though he had just faced his death. His father was terrified and Caelan had seen it all.
"Father," He shouted from behind. But the man did not stop and Caelan ran all the way as he tried to catch up with his father.
But before he could get to him Myron, entered his room and closed the door with the bang, locking his son outside. Fortunately for him, the room was empty and he did not have to deal with his wife who for sure would have bombarded him with questions on seeing his weird and frightened action.
Myron leaned against the door as he looked into space, his eyes dilating in absolute horror. "No, no, no." He mumbled to himself. "This cannot be happening. How could he...he...he..." He thought, completely forgetting that his son was following him. He did not even react when he heard him call him from the other side of the door.
"Father, what is wrong? Open the door, please." He shouted alerting the guards who were around him.
Hearing his cries of pleas and his desperate voice, they ran towards him and Caelan gritted his teeth when he noticed the men rushing towards them.
'These nosey pests.' His jaw ticked and he glared at them, making them stop in their places. The man's eyes were blazing with fury and they could not comprehend what they had done so wrong for him to behave this way.
Though they were confused, they did not leave the place either. Their prince sounded worried and now, he was infuriated. Assuming the situation to be grave, they stood still, irking Caelan all the more.
"Prince Caelan." One of the brave men among the group stepped forward, putting his life at stake. "Is something the matter?"
"Leave." That was all Caelan uttered, baffling the men all the more.
"What?" The man took some to understand what his prince had ordered and he stood in his place, gaping at him stupidly.
"I said, leave from here." Caelan's tone dropped an octave and the men retreated a few steps, fearing for their lives. "Leave." This time, he shouted and the men finally reacted. Not at caring about the situation, they retraced their steps, leaving their prince the deal with the unknown matter himself.
"Fools," Caelan mumbled to himself before he knocked on the door again. "Father, please open the door. It is me, Caelan. Is something the matter?"
Again, he did not get any response from his father and Caelan's frown deepened. He was not worried about his father. No. After the hard punch he had received from his father in the form of betrayal, he had stopped worrying about him. Anything related to his father or his well-being did not matter to him. To Caelan, he was just a pawn he was using to gain the throne and power to rule the world.
Now that his father knew something related to the abduction of the Alpha of Renada, he had to find out what it was. He needed to learn the secret for somewhere he had an inkling that he too would be implicated by this matter somehow in the future. He needed to learn the truth and he needed to learn it now.
"Father," He called again, only to meet with silence. There was no sound from the other side whatsoever. His face turned rigid in frustration and he resorted to the only he knew he would find his answers.
Without even caring that his actions were rude and an invasion of privacy, he eavesdropped on his father, using his powerful hearing and just as he had expected, he heard his father mumbling to himself.
"No, no, no. This cannot be happening. This cannot be. He cannot be back. He..H...how is this possible?" He mumbled.
'Who is Father talking about?' Caelan wondered. 'And why is Father this agitated? What is he hiding?' Caelan continued to eavesdrop on his father while making sure to keep an eye around him lest he should get caught in his act.
"Was he not asleep? How did he wake up? When did he...." Myron continued, his eyes tearing up in fear before the realization hit him. "He should wake up in the Year of the Mo....Moon." Myron slide down and dropped to the ground with a thud, the sound evidently heard by his son whose confusion was only increasing as moments passed.
"He woke up. He...he...the devil...he.." Myron muttered in utter grief and horror. "He woke up."
'Devil?' Caelan's face scrunched up at his words. 'What is Father even speaking about? What devil and what woke up?' He could not make any sense of his words. 'Has Father gone mad?' He wondered and the thought lit up his eyes for a moment. 'I hope he has.'
"This is bad. This is really bad." Myron had no idea what his son was thinking about him and he kept shaking his head in fear. He was now utterly terrified and he could clearly see what might happen to him in the future once....Again, Myron shook his head, a jolt of terror striking his heart.
"I cannot allow him to get to me. I cannot allow him to get to me." He repeated frantically, his mind completely in a mess. All his thoughts were filled about the man he had only heard about and about the warnings he had received from the previous Alpha King.
'What do I do? What do I do now?' He thought as he held his head in his hands. 'How to get out of the situation? How do I save myself?'
When Caelan did not hear him speaking to himself, he leaned closer to the door, his ear completely sticking to it as he tried to pick up any sound from inside. But other than his father's hard breathing and the crackling of fire he could not hear anything. He even tried to find out what his father was thinking by trying to read his thoughts. But the man had blocked his mind completely and Caelan cursed under his breath, scolding him silently.
'Old man, speak loudly so that I can find out what you are even thinking.' He thought to himself and glared at the door as though he was wishing for it to disappear so that he could go to this father and make him reveal all that he knew.
Myron had no idea how desperate his son was to find out what he knew. He was more worried about his future and chaotic the situation would turn out, now that the contest for the throne would soon start and all the Alpha's around the world would assemble at Aranill.
However, he was certain about the future was now filled with blood and death and his lips quivered. 'Alpha Alexis.' He sucked in a deep breath. Even though he was yet to find out what exactly had happened to him, somewhere in his mind, he had an inkling that the man was gone for sure. He was now dead and irrespective of how much anyone tried, they would not be able to his body, let alone find him alive.
The silence from the other side was killing Caelan and he was getting restless as moments passed. His father had stopped mumbling right when he reached the important part and Caelan felt the anger surge through him. His doubts about his father only heightened. The man was not as simple as he had thought him to be and he recalled what his Commander had spoken about in the courtroom.
'Mysterious entity....Devil...' He thought. 'What does Father know that he is hiding this way from everyone? Why is he this scared?' He could not comprehend the situation, other than assuming the mysterious entity to be the devil his father was speaking about. But that did not make much sense in his mind and he discarded the thought immediately.
Caelan eventually moved back, his back turning stiff after sticking close to the door all this time. It was only when he backed away from the door that he saw a servant walking by on the corridor, her eyes filled with confusion and wariness as she watched him behave suspiciously.
Caelan's face turned rigid and he glared at her for even walking by this way when he all wanted was solitude. The servant shivered on seeing his stern gaze and her grip on her trap tightened.
"Your Highness," She whispered and bowed in front of him.
"What did you see?" Caelan took a step towards her, glancing at the closed door and the maid took a step back instinctively.
"I...I..." The maid stuttered in fear.
"I said...."
The door opened right at this moment and his father stepped out, startling Caelan.
"What is happening here?" Myron questioned as he glanced at his son and the maid who was standing with her eyes wide. She was trembling in fear as she stared at the two men in apprehension.
"Father." Caelan, for a moment, was blank and his father walked to him. If not for his pale face and red eyes, Caelan would have misunderstood everything to be his imagination. His father showed no traces of fright on his face.
"Caelan, what is happening?" Myron probed and Caelan, who did not know how much to maid had seen took his father's obliviousness to his advantage.
"Father, I saw this servant standing outside your room right now and she was trying to eavesdrop on you. Were you speaking to Mother just now?" Caelan feigned innocence as he shifted all the blame on the maid who now stared at him in horror.
"Your Highness....I...I... did not..." She tried to refute.
"Shut up." Caelan roared and the maid dropped the tray in her fear. Tears started to gush out of her eyes and she shuddered when he noticed the two men glaring at her. While one pair of eyes held anger, the other stared at her evilly.
"Do you think you could trick me when I caught you red-handed in the act? Father, were having an important discussion just now? We need to punish this servant who dared to commit such a crime here." He said all righteously and the maid shook her head immediately.
"No, no, no. I did not, Your Majesty. I did not."
"Guards." The woman did not even have to opportunity to state her words when Caelan yelled and the guards rushed to them a few moments after.
"Capture this woman and hang her to death. She had committed a sin by trying to find out confidential matters." He ordered and the guards stiffened on hearing his orders.
"Your Highness." The maid shook her head and dropped to her knees.
"What are you waiting for?" Caelan roared and the man held her arms right away, scared on seeing the man's evil nature.
Though most of them knew what the truth was for they had only seen the maid walk this just a few moments ago. It was impossible for her to have committed a sin their Prince was speaking of. But they did not have any rights to claims otherwise for they knew that they too would meet the same fate if they were to argue with them.
Nobody among them was brave enough to confront him head on and they dragged the woman away from them too scared to even look at the man in the eyes. The maid trashed in their holds as she claimed her innocence. But no one listened to her and eventually, Myron and Caelan were the only were left.
Myron had no idea what had happened. In the blink of an eye, his son had ordered for the maid to be killed even before he found out what the truth was.. However, he did not doubt him whatsoever and he nodded at him in appreciation before he returned to him, not noticing the looks of relief on his son's face.
