"Where... Where is the Crown Prince?"
Someone's voice cut through the silent air.
Everyone was stiff, complexion pale. In their minds, their empire's brightest future was gone. And this kind of gone never returned what it took.
But the heavy silence slowly turned into loud echoing conversations, people searching for any trace of their crown prince.
Yet amidst them all, one stood there motionless. His eyes were wet, warm tears running down his cheeks. He was in a daze.
"Don't worry... Gabriel" A soft voice of a woman came from the back.
It was Empress Samantha, The woman who defeated countless tigers.
Her heart was said to melt for only one but at this moment, she seemed broken. Her once fierce face was softened, gloomy, exhausted. Her hands slowly hugged the man in front of her.
Their faces pale as their expectations dropping dead. The outside is no less from hell and their precious son was even taken by the one who was rumoured murderous from the start.
However, the couple's grief was interrupted by a joyous voice.
"The Red Moon has returned back!" it said.
The man who previously was no different from a beautiful statue was now radiant with visible excitement.
People who were mess or were searching aimlessly, stopped.
How could one say that?
They all thought. The crown prince was gone with no trace and this man who was suppose to be his closest friend is delighted?
After all it is, the man with a thousand philosophies, Head Priest Hadeon.
Crown Prince Isaiah's POV
"Isaiah... Wake up" A cold voice tingled into my ears.
I slowly opened my eyes as sweet scent flooded my nose.
It was my sweet moon!
His hair was braided and he was wearing a dark red robe. It seemed like he was reading the book in his hands. But unfortunately his face was no different from ice.
"Change your clothes and eat." He said as he pointed at some clothes near me.
I just looked at him and slowly got up. The food was placed on a table which somehow came there. And before I could move or look around more, my Red Moon started getting up.
"Wait..." I said while I grabbed his wrist.
"Aren't you... you... Going to feed me?"
"What?"
