"Are you alright?" king Zachary who looked at him shaking and coughing so hard asked worriedly.

Suddenly the man fell on his knees as the blood started to flow out of his mouth.

"Maids…." Everything happened so suddenly that even Zachary was shocked.

He called the maids and asked one of them to call the healer. But little did he know that all his efforts were just futile.

Maids tried to attend him but everything was futile.

In just a matter of minutes, the man coughed out lots of blood that pooled around him.

His body was shivering nonstop and soon the man died in front of the king's eyes.

In his last minutes, he didn't even get to drink two sips of water.

"He is dead…" one of the maids checked him and announced.

King Zachary looked at the man with his eyes wide open.

He was alright just a few minutes ago and just died like that?

He couldn't believe what he saw.

But he could guess what might have been behind the death of his man.

"Benjamin Castemont…." Zachary gritted his teeth as he said that.

"This is going to be more interesting…" Zachary smiled.

Soon the night fell and Donovan returned back to the castle.

It was late at night and he had missed all three meals with his family.

He came back like a gust of wind and flew open his chamber door. With him, the strong smell of alcohol entered the room.

He threw the bottle that he was holding on the ground and went straight to the bed. He jumped on the bed and closed his eyes. The whole chamber was enveloped in darkness, not a single lamp was burning.

"You reek of dirt," suddenly a voice fell on his ears. Donovan opened his eyes in frustration.

"Can't I have some time alone? Must you do this to me?" He asked in an annoying tone.

"Do you think I'm enjoying facing you like this?" Zachary asked his voice high and laced with anger. He got all the reports of what happens in his castle and he also keeps note of what his sons do during the whole day.

But no matter what his sons did Zachary never tried to Stop them since all his sons were smart and rational. Even though Donovan does what pleases him and likes to break the rules, he never goes against his father.

There was a kind of modesty in his behaviour every time he spoke with Zachary.

And this was the first time Zachary has seen his son like this.

He was waiting for Don's return since he got news of Benjamin's news.

He wanted to talk to him and clear things so they could plan out everything. But here his son was reeking of alcohol and who knows what.

On the other hand, Donovan was frustrated beyond words but still, he kept his rationality and didn't flare-up.

He got up from the bed and looked at his father with his half-closed eyes.

"I want to talk about something serious," Zachary said when he saw Donovan looking at him.

"I don't want to hear your explanation," Donovan straight denied.

"Its... it's not only about that…. Benjamin Castemont is here… and as soon as he entered he managed to kill the best soy in front of my eyes," Zachary said while gritting his teeth.

It took a second for Donovan to understand what his father said.

"Human prince?" He asked.

"Yes...go get sober up.. we need to talk…," Zachary said.

No matter what happened to Don and how much he was angry with his father but when it comes to his kingdom he never delayed anything. Donovan nodded his head and stood up and went to the bathroom.

He saw torn pieces of cloth that he had ripped from lady Priscilla. Don recalled how he had behaved towards her and he rubbed his face harshly and then started to wash up.

It took him five minutes to come out in a new set of clothes.

Zachary was already sitting at the table and he signalled Don to take a chair in front of him. A single oil lamp was burning on the table making the room less dark.

"I have some matters to clear first before I tell you everything. About what happened yesterday I agree that I lied…" 

"I said I don't want any explanation.." Donovan cut his father in the middle of his sentence.

"Hear me out first. Everything is linked up," Zachary raised his voice.

Donovan looked at his father with his bloodshot eyes for a few minutes and then looked away.

"Even though I don't know the exact purpose of prince Benjamin's visit I can make a guess," Zachary looked at Donovan.

"And what is that?" Donovan raised his eyebrows.

"He is here to take his sister back to Atlanea," Zachary said.

He didn't know before why Silja was very precious to king Evan but when he found out about her unique bloodline he could tell why they were hell-bent on protecting the little girl while risking the whole country.

"She is his sister, what is so odd if he came here to take her away," Donovan raised his eyebrows.

"Huh, the story is not that simple as it looks. The girl has more to it than meets the eyes," King Zachary said with a mysterious smile on his lips.

"When I visited Atlanea last time my goal was to pursue the human King and ask him to join hands with us. But I knew from the start that it would most probably turn out to be a futile attempt. But maybe God has shown his mercy to us and even before I could meet King Evan I met his daughter. Princess Silja Castemont," Zachary started. Donovan was playing with a lamp that was placed on the table. His eyes never his father's but his ears open.

"In just the first meeting I experienced something that I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me," Zachary said.

Silja's name gained Donovan's interest as he looked up at his father.
