A woman stood there in a really pretty well furnished room befitting a princess. Decorated in all things gold and silver. Her eyes looked sad as she stared at the bracelet in front of her.
She quickly brushed the tears in her eyes that threatened to fall. She heard a knock on her door, and tried to sound confident and authoritative.
" Come in." Her voice betrayed her a little but not too noticeable
A servant came in and bowed down looking unsettled.
" How did it go? Is she dead?" She asked but the servant remained quiet for a while . " I see you do not have any more use for your tongue." She threatened
" She's not dead, um a few people witnessed her in the palace all scattered and haggard and bloodied." The servant dared not look up to see the princess face.
" So she's very much alive I take it. What happened to those useless excuses for a living being." Princess Annabelle asked enraged
" I.. don't know." The servant whispered
" You're useless too I take it . Then you shall be removed." The servant fell to her knees immediately
" Please your highness it won't happen again I beg you." She pleaded in trembling voice
" Then get out of here and make your life worth not taking!" Annabelle screamed and the terrified servant went running away
Annabelle was upset, she ordered for that measly human to be killed but she's still alive. Who would dare do such a thing!
Back in the king's study . Phillip is in his chair looking worn out and tired. Ever since Dylan escaped he hadn't been getting rest at all. He needs to act fast it was time to release Lilith so she could find Dylan. He got up and left the study
What he was about to do is definitely not a good idea. Lilith was unstable, her obsession had made her so unstable and unpredictable. What choice does he have?
As coincidence would have it Kathy was just strolling the castle walls as usual for her evening stroll. She spotted the king and her heart skipped a bit. He was in a hurry, it must be urgent this was her chance.
Unknown to her Dylan had left because he had found something interesting in the library and had gone to read it.
Kathy looked around to make sure no one was around for what she was about to do. She squeezed the necklace she had tried her best to hide ever since Dylan had left, then she inhaled and held her breath. She ran after the king because he had been walking fast. Still holding the necklace she breathed out for two second and inhaled again.
After she had been tired of chasing the king while holding her breath. She breathed out, she could just stay out of sight. She saw the king going down into some secret tunnel and followed him making sure no one was behind her. When she saw him come in front of a big iron door. She held her breath long enough for him to open it staying close to him so she'll get in after him
Phillip opened the door unaware of the little innocent human standing close behind him. In the Althreaze kingdom they could sense anything because of their keen hearing, heartbeat, steps, and even sense warmth so no matter where you are if you're close enough they'll definitely know you're there , but why can't the King sense Kathy? Dylan knew this, yet he still sent her to spy on the king.

Dylan checked up on Damian and the rest in yelgra. Sitting on a chair in the library and putting both his legs on the table. He assessed the scene in front of him.
They had finally started fighting a tyrant, and it wasn't going well. He watched Damian turned into a coward and tried to run away but each time one of the guards stopped him or the tyrant would start charging in his direction. How to make them win this quickly?
Come to think of it if they overpower a tyrant too quickly the king won't buy it. He sat quietly thinking of a way out of yelgra in time so Kathy won't be killed. If he made himself known his father would definitely figure out a way to trap him back, infact he could already have a way
Maybe they shouldn't have to kill a tyrant yet. He was sure that by now Michael had informed the king all that transpired between them. That'll make Phillip impatient for sure and cause him to make a move and that move would turn into a mistake
Phillip doesn't want anyone to know he was alive because a war would break out again and chaos will arise. He'll do anything to make sure he captures him first but grandpop already knows he's alive and he'll do anything to kill him again.
A smile curved slowly on his lips. Let the game begin! . Of course he has purposely exposed himself to his grandfather, not only will he confront his son he'll lead him to the person who told him about this death cycle thing. So he wonders where his grandfather is now

Simon came into a house disguised as a courtesan . There he saw ladies laughing and playing with nobles, some even came his way asking if he wanted to play. He didn't come there to play though, he knows what lies within the facade as house of courtesans.
He was welcomed by the head of the courtesans, a woman in her mid thirties but looks odd because of her eyes . Her eyes weren't blind they were colourless to look as if she was blind but she could see. Even far beyond what the physical eyes could see.
She invited him to the secret room and offered him a chair.
" Your majesty, it's been a while..a long while at that. I haven't seen you since..." She smiled at him but she spoke no farther
" I didn't come here to exchange pleasantries Nyxara ." Simon tone sharpened immediately
" Of course, back then there was only one reason we ever spoke to each other. I suppose it could be the same reason." Nyxara smiled knowingly. " After all we did he turned out alive, I told you killing him was almost impossible." She offered him tea pouring it in a small tea cup
" Almost, my son deceived me, that...that..." He couldn't find the right words he just gulped his tea at a go in utter frustration
" But I see something, he is watching you all like a piece of chess. Controlling your every move in the shadows." Simon's eyes widened at the statement." He knows everything." She whispered
" That is why I need to find another way. I need to know where she'll be." Simon looked at her eagerly
" He knows where she is." Simon thought he heard 'and the world stop spinning' instead. His whole body stiffened Dylan knows where the only woman who could possibly eliminate him is . They were done for
" What do you mean?" He dared to ask
" But I don't understand one thing she's still alive, he should have killed her by now or maybe he doesn't know she's the one destined to kill him but knowing Dylan he knows I'm sure he does." Nyxara looked confused
" What do I do now?" Simon asked looking worried
" She isn't aware of herself or anything. If you could awaken her, you'll awaken that fire that drives her to kill him at all cost." Nyxara smiled mysteriously
" Where the hell is she?" Simon shouted
" I don't know but she's close and he knows where she is. You'll find her, your second son also knows where she is." Nyxara revealed
Simon's eyes twitched at the mention of his second son. Eric?
Some minutes after Simon left. Nyxara felt a rather too familiar presence she got up from her chair with a start. Just up ahead Dylan stood looking at her nonchalantly at first but then he smiled
She might be a seer but she doesn't know why she couldn't keep calm anytime she sees Dylan. Many people couldn't kill her because they fear it would be a huge waste because she was the quickest way to know everything, but Dylan would. Dylan could kill her in an instant without thinking twice
" What a good speech Nyxara is it? Too bad that'll be the last time you ever see anything and tell someone about it." She began to panic at his words
"Prince Dylan killing me would be a huge loss." She moved away from her chair moving back
" Too bad you don't know when to shut up." Dylan moved closer
" I will do my best to serve you and be loyal to you." But Dylan had already reached her and gripped her neck with startling speed
" Your only crime is being too gifted.... You shouldn't have been too gifted." Dylan said before snapping her neck
