Chapter (24): A girl on the road

The young man turned his face to them. His hair was as black as the crow's feathers but his eyes were gray. He had a soulless expression and the jokes barely could bring a smile to his dry complexion.

His gloved hands were wrung to his back. His exitance was as cold as ice as you could stand beside him, it was sensible. He was as if corpus that just came out of the sarcophagus, but no one could deny his handsomeness but it was the coldest one ever existed.

"Sit down, if you want to hear why I brought you to Greenwood."

He walked to a chair, sitting near the window to watch the moves, his left leg laid on the right one... The twins exchanged glances, he was always mysterious but this time, Wilmore John Bircham Bolingtone, the Prince of Bolingtone court had become even more bizarre with his constantly vague utterance.

"We are all ears, Prince Wilmore!" Natasha said, folding her hands to her chest while she made herself being seated inside that wooden chair.

"Tomorrow, it will be two years since I followed the witch to the Witchwood! That day... she escaped from me but something else got happened."

The twins' gazes went sharp, blankly glued to him. That case was the only one that he missed the target.

"Unintentionally, I hit a girl and when I got back to help her, a black female Alpha WereWolf showed up and took the girl with her."

Hux snorted and Natasha's mouth dropped. He was always muted about this and how wicked he was for not finding out who the girl was.

"Did you hit a Fae?"

Hux asked, he doubted that a Fae couldn't recognize the human scent to dodge the danger.

"No, it was a human girl, perhaps got lost in the sleet weather."

He said, his expression was still regular so it wasn't a love story, Natasha noticed! This monster had no heart to be tamed.

"Then why are we here after two years? Maybe the alpha had hunted her and you just watched!"

Natasha taunted him being always ignorant about people's life.

"Hm, I am here to find her!" He notified them briefly.

It was the first time in the Blue Moon that the prince spoke a few words more than three. Natasha raised an eyebrow, peeking at her brother who was glaring at the horizon with no question. It didn't matter what, because he always would follow the prince even to the deeps of hells that the Bolington family had come from.

"Well, how should we find her in one day?"

She asked, with dismay! It was impossible if the girl was eaten by the wolves because the knights hadn't the ability to travel to Underworld and find this girl, not even geomancer was able to summon her soul but maybe a Faerie.

"When Lord James was in the capital two weeks ago, I heard something. His butler was looking for a cure for a girl who lost almost the high percentage of her vision."

"Hm, so that girl might be his daughter, their mansion is in Riva! No wonder she was wandering in that zone."

Hux said.

"Why the hell are you going after her after a long time?"

Natasha growled, she could have been dead.

"I was on a mission, taming the witch was my priority not chasing a werewolf."

Natasha could not comprehend his logic! Did he know what emotion or sympathy was?

"Her name is Luna, the daughter of Lord Lucas James."

He answered the question of Hux and ignored Natasha.

"Then! Are we going to give her a cure and apologize to her?"

Natasha was dreaming for a tinge of compassion.

"No, that wasn't my fault, she appeared in my way out of a sudden! I want to know, who that wolf was. Could she be the Queen of Wolves? If yes, then the queen saw that witch."

Natasha clenched her fist! Still that witch matter to him more than that girl's miserable life.

"What if she didn't want to help you?"

Hux asked.

"Nothing! I will punish her uncle. I am responsible for every rebellion that witch sends to us, not helping me means, benefiting the Ruby Witch."

"I am in, tomorrow, we will be there to question her. This mission is easy but has a bit of tragedy!"

Hux said, drumming his fingers on the chair's arm.

"Yes, you two are heartless, made for each other. If you harm Lord James, princess Livia would take that cloak from both of you."

Natasha got to her feet, protesting to any kind of tough treat.

"Fine, sister! Calm down, we would punish you instead, do you like that?"

He smirked wickedly.

Natasha could not bear more, encountering this was too much. She strode to the door, and took the handle, "better to be watchful about your behaviors and do not lower yourself for nothing, the poor girl already is suffering."

She turned the handle and the last thing was the door's hard sound.

Silence fell inside the room for a short span of time then the shivering window broke it down.

"Would you really harm the man?" Hux asked.

"Yes, if she refused my wish! Don't worry about my sister, she is not going to protest until I keep my blades on her side."

The prince put a book out of his bag and glanced at it. "The girl is interesting!" He thought, drumming his long pale fingers on that book cover.

"Why do you read this book all the time?"

"Nothing, there are things in this book that I don't understand."

Hux chuckled, of course, he had no heart to comprehend love and any kind of romance. He just saw blood in his whole life.

"The Queen is about to choose three mistresses for you, why don't you choose on your own?"

Hux asked, it wasn't related to this case but it made his mind bust because he disliked to bed the girls who he disliked to even spend time with, some were so chatty and bony that he feared to touch.

"I don't care, let her do what she likes. Anyway, only once a while I do show up in that palace."

Prince Wilmore didn't have the will to spend time with his parents and most of the time he met his sister to get the orders. To him, being in the palace was exhausting and could spoil his brain.

"Go bring food, Hux! The road made me hungry!"

Hux moved on his feet and went to the door saying, "Raw meat and cabbage, right?"

"Yes, for tonight. Don't forget the cherry wine of Riva. I prefer it only."
