Chapter 20: Consequences!

On hearing her question, Firstly, King Vilas averted his eyes to look at his son who had sealed his lips.

Yet he signaled him: You should tell her. 

It wasn't new to him. Whenever explaining comes in front of them, it is always him who faces Alice. 

'Maybe because she will revoke him easily..' And probably,  being the eldest and the king, he should be the one who goes and clears her doubts too.

Looking at Alice who was filled with tons of expression, King Vilas answered back, "The Council head is here to meet all of us for once. He wants to make sure that we are serious about the major alliance and no one steps back from this."

"Oh, that's it." Alice smiled, with slight relaxation covering her mind. 

Only if they had any idea how scared she was of the council head appearing.

King nodded his head and patted her head when he got to his toes. "I will leave. It isn't good to make them wait unnecessarily." Alice agreed with her father's words when, after giving her a kiss on her forehead, King Vilas psassed King Dominic a glare.

That glare was filled with hundreds of meanings but that's the way of communication between the both gents. 

Alice already missed it. King Vilas left the chamber when Dominic took the seat on her bed. 

Letting a sigh escape his lips, he looked at Alice, who was now in the more cheerful mood to begin with, "Alice.., do you wish to go back?" 

"Why would I like to go back brother?" she wasn't sure if he was talking about her? Why would she like to go back? At first, Dominic hesitated to say, on seeing this side of Alice. Earlier, he had expected her to be scared of this entire place. 

But the scene in front of him was totally different. "Maybe after what happened to you last night, you can go back early, you know this.." 

"That isn't needed." Alice answered when she kept her hand over his, which was to soothe him. Blinking her eyes twice, she nodded her head, "We all will go back home, once this alliance is done and marriage takes place." 

Prince Dominic stared at her lovely face full of doubts in his eyes, "Are you sure my girl?" In return, he got a positive response from Alice's side which at least settled the uneasiness over him.

Knowing that his sister isn't any weakling, maybe this was the reason he agreed to her words. 

Unknown to anyone, he already heard what she described earlier, from the outside of the chamber. 

Before entering, he paused outside to hear it all, in one go, when he too realized that things might be going out of her control. 

Or probably, the chances of her real powers showing up are very high. 

But to not let his own thoughts be mixed with those, he entered to lighten the awkwardness around them. 

The bond between them was close but in the middle, Alice asked a question that was constantly disturbing her mind, "Brother...what will happen if.. Anyone withdraw or commit a mistake in this alliance?"

At this time, Prince domoic was served his breakfast in her chamber itself. He sat on the other side of the chair and table, where he ate the breakfast with his spoon. 

Without meeting her eyes, he answered subconsciously, "Umm..Well, today's pact is for that. Oral agreement that nothing like this will take place.." 

But this isn't the answer to this question, "I asked about consequences?" Alice was concerned about her cousin, who was behaving unusually. 

Her acting was mind blowing, also convincing. The fact is that she can't be fooled by the same.

Living with them for years, she knows her real nature in everything very well. 

At first, Dominic hesitated to answer and tried to ignore the same question, with no intention to upset her. But her persistent nature to know, made him not keep a tough spot.

In the end, he had no reason to make her upset, but on the other hand, he knew that she wouldn't keep quiet until he cleared her confusion. 

Without the higher due, he looked here and there, to find that maids already leaving after serving him the food. When his eyes caught sight of the door already closed,he opened his mouth with a slightly lower voice, "Um...don't tell anyone about this or anyone. This is confidential." 

Alice vigorously nodded her head, when she fixed her ears to hear this out, "I won't.."

"So...if anyone fails to stand the promises, it is actually stated that the other party will be thrown and the entire kingdom will come under the another King. This is the real reason why the council head appeared to get an oral agreement between the two Kings.." 

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

At this point, Alice could feel her heart almost coming in her mouth. The sensation of something wrong was already telling her to shout and yell. 

But she had no courage and time to do so. "Is..that so?" 

"Yes. This is the high demand but we all agreed to this. At the end, what can even major occur? Both sides already agreed, yeah.." Princ Dominic started to eat his lunch once again but Alice was conflicted.

Subconsciously, her hand traveled across her heart to touch it tightly. The terror of something happening already making her feel vulnerable to this current situation. But nothing was in her hand. 'I can't predict the future, who knows.. If everything will go smoothly.' 

But she highly doubted if things will, knowing that her cousin, Flora's reaction in the most tested manner. 

While she was in the turmoil of the sentiments, Prince Dominic dropped another bomb over her head in the most calm manner already, "You heard about the rumor?" 

She didn't shift direction but still asked, "What?' 

"Uncle has finally arrived today. It will be interesting to see…. What he tries to do when we all already destroyed his last plan to kill father...."
