novelCANT FEEL THEIR BEAST
| ← Ch.0638 | Ch.0640 → |
"Your Majesty, your shoulder is bleeding, Sir!" It was Tordoff who noticed the stain of blood that was smearing on Jedrek's white clothes. Their king glanced at his own shoulder with a stoic expression. He completely forgot about the stabbing wound that she got from Lilac a while ago.
Because it was a silver dagger that she used to stab him, it would heal slower than it would've been if it was done by any other than silver. Jedrek frowned. But then, he remembered about the blood of guardian angels.
Not only that those creatures were spiritually strong, making them the targets of many other creatures who wanted to sap their power. But, their blood also held an equal power. Jedrek tested it just now, and knew it was true.
"Hm, " a short hum was the only answer he could give as a response, but his expression told them that he didn't want to talk further more about this. The three generals got the hidden message, and moved onto their previous topic.
"But, if the girl is really a guardian angel, then we need to have her." Tordoff touched his chin, as he was deep in his thoughts. But, little did he know, the 'we need to have her' part was making the Alpha King's eyes turn darker a few shades. He despised the way Turdoff used 'we' in his sentence.
Jedrek had no other choice but to remain as quiet as if it was nothing that mattered."Why--" Kyle was about to say something, but Sebastian had to cut him. He suddenly remembered something from his memory, "The prophecy."
"Right!" Kyle widened his eyes. He remembered the same thing as he continued, "The war with the devils." But, Jedrek didn't give his opinion about this. His fingers intertwined to each other, a sign that he was deep in his thoughts. However, it was not only him who didn't speak a word. Lyrus also didn't participate in the small argument among the three generals inside the room.
The Beta's mind was thinking about Jedrek's strange behaviour. Based on what happened, there were more than enough reasons for Jedrek to kill her, right there and then. This mysterious girl had done so much damage to the castle, wrecked some havoc inside the great hall, and whatever happened between them during the battle.
Plus, talking about guardian angels, it reminded Lyrus to Jedrek's resentment towards their kind. It remained the same the last time he checked. Despite they needed the guardian angel for the upcoming war, Jedrek's prideful and arrogant nature just wouldn't allow the girl to walk freely after what she had done.
Then, Lyrus glanced at Jedrek who was sitting in his chair, apparently not listening to the chatter of his subordinates. There was something more about the girl that Lyrus didn't know, and he could feel it.
"Alpha, we need to find that girl again." said Sebastian boldly. It was not what he was going to say exactly. Actually he wanted to know Jedrek's reason for letting the girl go. But Sebastian knew better that it would just trigger the Alpha's wrath. And that was the last thing he wanted to happen after what had just occurred during the day.
The room filled with silence. But not long after, Jedrek ended the silence with his rigid tone in his voice and said, "We don't need her." Sebastian was about to say something more to it, and the unwanted wrath turned out to really happen in the end.
Jedrek really snapped at Sebastian."This is not up for discussion!" said Jedrek in finality, while leaving no room for argumentation."If it's war that those devils wanted, then war is what they will get from me!" They didn't need help from guardian angels. They didn't need their power to win the war.
Because, the last time he checked, they had won the first Great War. If they could win in the past, they could win it again IF a war was really going to happen soon. At least that was what Jedrek thought. His mind was in a complete mess.
The only thing he wanted when it came to guardian angels was that he wished nothing but to be as far as he could, away from them. Especially that girl Lilac. He hated the effect that he had on her. Although it was pleasant. But, it was also forbidden.
The room became quieter than before. Even the wind seemed to not dare to enter the room. However, Jedrek forgot the sweet victory they got during the war was largely the result of the sacrifice of guardian angels, causing the extinction of their kind.
At the same time, after Jedrek said what he said, the door swung open. And his fifth general, Rowan, came in. His lean body was not as jacked as the other generals, but his dark aura was enough to put anyone a few meters away from him.
"What is it?" said Lyrus while knitting his brows. He was concerned with what Rowan was about to deliver, judging only by the troubled expression in Rowan's face. Rowan nodded slightly to Lyrus before he put his attention on Jedrek.
The urgency of the matter was well delivered by his voice now as he said, "Your Majesty, something happened in the central city, Sir." He moved forward and stopped right on the opposite of Jedrek's table. The other three generals moved closer too, because it was such a rare event to see Rowan being anxious.
"What happened?" Lyrus asked again.
"I can't explain it in words, I think you need to see what is happening, so you will understand the situation better, " Rowan said gloomily.
==============
"This is the first case, " Rowan led Jedrek and the others into a house.
The house was located on the outskirts of the city center. It had three floors, and on the ground floor there was a spacious living room with large windows that had views of the beautiful courtyard outside. The flowers outside could be seen from the inside.
To put simple, this was a perfect place to live, the outside scenery that the house offered was beautiful. But, what happened on the inside was something they were not expected. Jedrek's expression right now couldn't be seen under the hood he was wearing.
He would hide his identity whenever he went outside of the castle. Wearing a hooded robe was one of the ways of hiding his identity. So that people would assume that he was barely out of his stronghold.
Inside the room, there were around four guards who were on duty. They bowed their head deeply upon seeing the King's presence, even though they could barely see his face. But they knew it was him.
The Alpha, his Beta, and his four generals kept walking fast along the corridor. Climbed up the stairs to the third floor, and stopped at the second door. With a soft 'click' sound, Rowan opened that door. And there they could see two women, laying on the bed with their eyes closed.
"What is this?" asked Sebastian impatiently. There was nothing weird about those sleeping women.
"Can't you feel that?" Rowan frowned at Sebastian.
"That they are shifters?" Lyrus walked closer as he observed one of the women there.
"Yes, " Rowan answered assertively.
"But, I can't feel their beast inside them, " Tordoff mumbled while getting confused by the situation.
