TWO DAYS LATER
The Seer was standing with his both hands at his back.
The expression on his face was that of someone who is awaiting trial in court.
The elders had their eyes filled with disappointment but mostly, they had fear in their eyes for him.
Fear that his dead body would soon be lying beside them, roasted.
Not like they have ever seen anyone the king roasted, but their imaginations would always run wild each time they had to face the wrath of King Wright.
Repeat what you just said! King Wright commanded as the frightened Seer cleared his throat.
I... I .. sss... i said...
Speak! King Wright growled heavily this time.
The.. the.. our Luna is... she is missing, he said knowing how stupid he sounded but he couldn't speak further.
I know she is missing damn it!! Where the hell is she?!
Where is my Luna?
She.... The stuttering began again.
Get out of the door Peyton! King Wright yelled stunning them all.
Peyton? They murmured.
She isn't here your majesty, one of the elders spoke but before he could get a response,Peyton was seen rolling into the conference hall.
She was screaming and also trying so hard to get hold of herself but she couldn't.
What? The Seer exclaimed, his palm went to his lips immediately, making sure to shut every sound out.
He didn't need more trouble.
Even him as a Seer didn't know Peyton was eavesdropping.
How the hell did their werewolf king do this without lifting a finger, when he is not a witch! they thought as they all stared at Peyton who was still on the floor struggling as she got rolled to where the King was sitting.
You dare eavesdrop on my meeting?! King Wright growled.
You majesty.. I.. (coughs).. i...
Try this again and you would be joining your ancestors! King Wright spoke with a very angry tone.
Now get out! he commamded and the same force that pulled her in rolled her out with the same speed till she got to the stairs at the entrance.
Her soft body hit the stairs as she groaned in pain.
Her eyes shut.
Tears mixed with dirt all over her face and the floor.
She felt the force leave her.
Without waiting a second she sprang up on her feet and ran out of the conference hall without looking back.
It was supposed to be a funny scene for them if they're not sitting before the Immortal beast of a king.
Or if they weren't shocked at how the king who they all knew was just a werewolf could do that.
That low growl they would never get used to called them all back to reality.
They turned to him as he glared at them then glared at The Seer who still stood in the same position.
Without waiting for a word, The Seer continued.
Our Luna can't be found your majesty, he repeated the same thing he said before, with shaky voice.
Before he could blink, King Wright was already grabbing him by the throat lifting him.
And why is that?? Where the hell is she?! he growled.
Your majesty, she... *coughs... she... I don't know... he cried as he shut his eyes.
He was going to die, he didn't have any other option.
King Wright's grip on his neck tightened when he heard him said 'I don't know'
How can you not know, huh? How? King Wright growled.
The elders had their heart in their hands as they prepared themselves to bury their seer if they themselves would survive his wrath.
Your majes..... The seer cried.
Shut up! King Wright growled as he threw him across the room and he landed on the foot of the hard wooden chairs.
A crack sound was heard as the elders almost screamed in fear.
But they dare not.
The Seer lay motionless on the floor.
Leave! King Wright growled as they stared at him in confusion.
Leave all of you! he barked and they took to their heels, running for their dear lives.
The King stood at that spot fuming.
His eyes landed on The Seer and he sighed.
Guards! he called and two guards came rushing in
Their eyes widened seeing the old Seer lying on the floor looking dead.
Take him and follow me, he ordered and they quickly lifted the Seer who didn't move.
They wondered of he killed him and wants to dispose of him.
They were surprised because they have only heard rumors of him killing innovemt people but haven't seen him kill anyone before their eyes all through the years they've served him.
King Wright walked down the hallways as they tried to meet up with him to no avail.
They got to last door which was totally out of bound.
No one has ever entered there except him, not even Princess Peyton has.
King Wright opened the door with just a touch on the wall and asked them to take him in.
They stood looking frightened...
*Is this where he dumps dead bodies,one of them thought.
*Maybe he is going to kill is too for seeing his secret room, the other one thought.
Unknown to them,their thoughts wasn't theirs alone.
King Wright Knight could hear them.
You will both be loosimg your heads of you don't walk in right now! he scolded and they rushed in immediately.
Looking at the room, they were stunned.
It was an empty room with just a king sized bed at tue edge,close to the window.
Clean like its been cleaned everyday.
Owning to the fact that no one has ever entered there,their surprise increased.
They dropped The seer on the bed and took to their heels.
They kept running hoping their heads doesn't get sliced off their shoulders till they were back to their post.
* I can't believe the room is empty, one of them said panting.
* The second guy was too shocked and scared to say a word, he only stared as he panted too.
Smirking, King Wright glanced at the door and it shut itself.
Then he walked towards the Seer, having no expression on his face.
He looked around the room and all the components of the room appeared back.
A mini shelf by the corner which had clean book on them.
Some ancient Stuffs which belonged to his parents and brother.
Paintings..
Turning back to the seer he placed his hands on his neck for few seconds, his eyes shut.
In less than two minutes, The Seers eyes opened slowly.
He looked weak until his eye eyes landed on King Knight who was looking at him intently.
Your majesty, he called in fright as he tried standing up.
Sit, King wright ordered and he sat still.
I... was... I... was..
Dead? King Wright asked raising his left brow.
Ye.. yes... how did....
The old Seer was saying when his words hung in his throat.
He quickly reached for the book he has always carried around inside his garmemt.
"The Ancient Story Of The White Horse Kingdom"
Healing? he muttered as he flipped the pages to when the twins were born.
He read through the page he has read countless times.
The twin... Your majesty.... he said looking up at King Wright.
You are the twin with powers? he asked and king Wright smirked
The ancient story they all read about didn't have the names of the twins.
They were referred to as the first twin and the second twin.
None of them knew them by their individual names,since no one calls the king by his name,including Peyton.
They all assumed the dead king was the one with powers as the story said.
But seeing what King Wright did at the conference hall and how he healed him completely, he couldn't feel any pain at all,he needed no soothsayer to tell him it wasn't the handwork of a mere werewolf.
Why didn't you tell me? King Wright asked.
Your majesty? The seer called confused.
You have barely a month to live Evenius, why didn't you tell me?! The King yelled.
Your majesty i didn't...
You knew about it, you saw it five months ago, why keep it from me?
I can't question the moon goddess, your majesty,the old Seer said with a bow.
He wondered how the King found out all these in few minutes.
He probably underestimate the powers of the immortal king.
You wont be leaving until my mate is found, I don't care how long that takes!
Your majesty?
I will be the one to decide when you die!
Your majesty, we cant.... The seer was saying when he felt a sharp pain on his chest.
He clutched his chest as he groaned in pain.
The king watched wordlessly as he struggled.
Soon The Seer lifted his head to look at the king with shock on his face.
The king pointed at the mirror before him and he turned to it.
He almost jumped out of his body when he saw himself.
You look twenty years younger now, you will only die when my Luna is found, Find My Luna! the king said then turned and left him there looking stunned.
His white beards and hairs were gone.
His aching bones, he felt alive again.
Few minutes ago he suffered severe pains which made him consider himself dead,now he has twenty years taken out of his life span.
Just how did all these happen in one day?
But most importantly, how is this ruthless king the same king that was referred in the books as the kindest man on earth.
What the hell happened to him?
Why has no one seen him use his powers.
He had no answer to all the questions in his head but one thing he knew the answer to is the fact that this secret will follow him to his grave except the king is willing to reveal himself.
