Chapter 37: Confidential

At the same time, Cyrus was present in his chamber, which had another window that opened nowhere else but to give the view of the back lake.

Standing near the place, his fingers held the glass of wine in his hand to find two horses out of his sight. 'Where are these siblings going tonight?'

It was thick and dark, and the area was prohibited to land themselves in. It was famous for its troubles, and this must have been known to Prince Dominic.

So why will he take his sister along with himself to put their lives in danger itself?

There was a tinge of curiosity that lingered around but probably, the feeling which can't be defined into words as well. The unimaginable sentiments that gathered on their own where he felt things getting complicated as per them.

His lips were set into a straight line, where he turned around to walk to the fireplace. Adding more wood to it, he sat on the floor, with the hardest try to not indulge in the thoughts of the same woman ever again.

'She is a human.. a human I should avoid at any cost. Better if I try to get in touch with my own bride...who is also a human..' The mere thought of actually spending his life with a girl with whom he just exchanged the rings never crossed his mind.

It was strange, but meaningless as well.

Just as he sat there in a daze, there was a slight knock on his door to find his general present with his eyes lowered. "What happened?"

"There is something which I should inform you, Prince Cyrus." On hearing the serious note, Cyrus signaled via his hands, asking him to step in.

As per the order, the general came closer to the fireplace without trying to keep an eye compact, "We saw movement at the back."

"Hmm… two people and two horses, if I'm not wrong?" Cyrus asked with a different kind of amusement in his voice, enough to shock the general, "Y-Yes.."

"We thought of informing His Highness but probably, this should be first told to you. If you can resolve it at your own stage.. this won't be transferred to superiors." The general was honest and acted as per the protocols.

Neither did Cyrus answer, nor did he keep him waiting.

Standing on his toes, he walked to the side of his chamber to remove the soft silk-colored cloth that covered his sword. With this, he licked it up with tenderness that was already displayed in his actions.

On seeing the actions of their Prince, General was confused about the interpretation of the situation, "Prince Cyrus, shall we-"

"Get my horse ready. I will solve this at my level only." Saying this, he turned around to look at his general with a glare present in his gaze.

The same glare of seriousness was enough to make the general feel the uneasiness in his heart but he did keep his head down with the thought of obeying the orders since there is no reason for him to defy them as well.

"Also.. do not let anyone know that I, Prince Cyrus, have stepped at the back of the lake. This will be.. confidential."

….

At the same time, Prince Dominic and Princess Alice had already started their travel through the dense and thick forest. It was pitch dark, and the only source that provided them was the log of fire in their hand.

Neither can Alice and Dominic imagine what they would do if someone or something appeared in front of them out of nowhere.

How will they manage the same? It was a query that was created but it never hindered their progress on their way.

With their horse running, it was Dominic who led the way while Alice followed. Going through the thick branches, it was very clear that the sand of the forest was very wet.

"I think it will rain anytime soon…" Alice spoke from behind when Dominic couldn't help but nod, "It was before we came. Also, the lake is besides so.. it keeps this kind of sand very much watery."

Rotating her head to see the branches and the waves they crossed through, she felt the leaves falling over them and they were wet as well. Nevertheless, she was very much alarmed since the chances of snakes and other animals appearing are pretty much high in this forest.

Gulping the saliva present in her mouth, both of them went through the place but then, the sound of a fowl entered into their ears.

Immediately, they stopped their horses, when the siblings faced each other with the sweat forming on their forehead, "T-this.."

"Beast. Or probably any other animal that is near.. we can't stay here for much longer, Alice." Dominic responded where he looked around them but his face never caught anything, "We should just move and not stop. Who knows what will happen if we stop…"

With this thought, Alice simply nodded to walk ahead in this forest where they found nothing but absolute silence. In the mixture were the slight sounds of species made, an owl or probably some deers.

However, she was more afraid of any opinions or any animal who would be interested in making them as his meal.

Walk-in for a few more minutes, her eyes caught the sight of a light coming from the one end of the forest, "Brother! See that light!"

Her yell gained Prince Dominic's attention who rotated his head to look at her pointed direction, to find the source of a beam. "Hmm. Seems like that is the exit of this. At least it will take us somewhere."

With the lake running along the entire forest, they highly doubted where this forest would end.

However, following the light itself, they made their horse change the direction to run in that way, only to find nothing else but an empty and quiet island.

There was no greenery around, with the entire solid sand beneath them not suitable for the grasses to grow.

Looking beneath them, and then above, Alice's eyes roamed through the place where they appeared, "This is strange… we never saw anything like this from our back of the castle."

"True. But I guess, this isn't visible from the back of the castle because of the Greenlands and the lake."

Saying this, Alice's horse took a few steps ahead to come when she saw nothing but the absolute silence that was covered with the heaviness of cold, "Brother…."

"I think we should divide into two ways to find where uncle or aunt is..that would be the best option to locate them…"
