Chapter 258: Are You Thinking What Am Thinking

"They are so pretty." Alesea touched them with so much gentleness, and Leia couldn't help but ask. "Have you never seen a flower before?"

"Um, I have but... the ones in the sea are different. I haven't seen this kind in the sea before." She explained, and Leia nodded in understanding. 

"So... you're a mermaid princess?" Leia inquired, and she nodded at her. "Yes, My father is the ruler of the sea. And my brother will probably take over if he ever abdicates the throne."

"Abdicate?" Leia's brow creased in a bit of bewilderment, and she nodded at her. "Yes, My father has been ruling for hundreds of years now, and he wants to abdicate the throne and rest." 

"Ahh... I see. May I ask how old you are?" 

Alesea stopped touching the flowers and turned to stare at her. "I am a hundred and eighteen years old."

"Oh, my fucking goodness!" Leia exclaimed in shock and assessed Alesea from head to toe again. From her looks, she looked her age. How could she be a hundred and eighteen years old? 

"Is... something wrong?" Alesea asked, and Leia awkwardly shook her head. If only she knew she was old enough to be her grandma,

"How old are you?" She abruptly asked, and Leia swallowed before an awkward smile emerged on her face. "Twenty... one."

The moment the words exited her mouth, Alesea's eyes fluttered before she abruptly burst into laughter.

"Why...are you laughing?" Leia inquired in a bit of bewilderment, and Alesea shook her head at her. "It's nothing... I just didn't expect you to be a kid. I thought you would be my age." She chuckled softly, and Leia's face puckered instantly. "What do you mean by, "A kid"? I am twenty-one, an adult."

"What?" Alesea arched her brow and couldn't help but cackle softly. "You're not an adult. You're only considered one when you hit the age of 100." She explained, and Leia's eyes flickered vigorously. "I see. Still don't call me a kid. I am an adult." She said with a stern look on her face, and Alesea nodded in understanding, with a little bit of amusement still visible on her face.

Leia slightly shook her head and stood up from the ground, then strolled towards the swing and took her seat. 

Alesea, who noticed her leaving, also stood up and walked over to sit beside her on the swing. It slowly began to rock them back and forth, and Alesea began to squeal in the fun. "Oh my." She chuckled softly, and Leia began to smile on seeing the excited and surprised look on her face.

"You're Alex's mate, no?" She asked, and Alesea nodded at her. "Yes, I am." She smiled, and her face suddenly turned pink as she thought about Alex.

Leia sealed her lips to restrain herself from laughing when she saw the shades of pink that suddenly ensued on her cheeks.

Adrik's face creased deeply, and he stared intently at Alex. "What do you mean?"

"Supreme Alpha, I investigated every single one of the witches that reside near the pack and..."

"And what?" Adrik stared intently at him, patiently waiting for him to go on.

"One of them was dead," Alex reported, and Adrik's brow arched in surprise. "Dead?"

"Yes, Her name is Magrida, and from her looks, I predict she's probably around the age of four hundred years old. I estimated this based on the fact that witches age faster than any other non-humans." He explained, and Adrik slowly nodded his head as his eyes narrowed. "Magrida... where have I heard this name before?" He stood up from the sofa and shoved his hands into his pocket, then began to pace back and forth. "Magrida..."

His eyes fluttered and instantly broadened as he recalled that one night when Lekhman, who ruled then, held a banquet.

"Everyone, please welcome my anguished guest, Magrida. A good friend of mine." Lekhman chuckled and gestured for a white-haired woman, who was instantly applauded by the crowd, to come in.

"Thank you. Thank you Supreme Alpha. " Magrida bowed to the crowds and Lekhman before making her way to take her seat on the special chair that was kept just for her.

It turned out that the pack had been having problems with the vampires, so Magrida had cast a spell around the entire pack that anyone other than the werewolves that belonged to the pack would find it troublesome to invade the pack. 

Although the wolves weren't in any way afraid of the vampires, it was still advisable for them to put a barrier spell around the pack, because at a time where they may be celebrating this way and probably get drunk, things might go wrong.

....

"It's her!" Adrik's brows furrowed as he recalled coming face-to-face with this woman when he was still at the age of 90. 

The witch was still quite young then. She was already in her mid-thirties, that is, compared to the human world, and Adrik looked to be in his teens then. Compared to the human world, around the age of seventeen.

"You...know her?" Alex asked with a bit of curiosity, and Adrik nodded. "Yes, She was an old guest of my father's. Hmm... why would she suddenly die?" His eyes blinked in a bit of confusion, and he began to pace back and forth. "Does my father know about it?" He turned to Alex and asked and Alex slightly shook his head. "Am not sure, but from what I have heard, His highness had recently visited her before she was found dead." 

"He visited her?" 

"Yes... for three days straight, and they also said that on the last day he left her house, she was never seen again. And out of curiosity, the other witches went to find out what was wrong, but what they saw was a trashed house and her on the floor near the wall, devoid of any life."

"Oh, they also stated that from what they saw, she looked like someone who was strangled to death, because around her neck were marks and holes that were probably done my nails," Alex explained.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Adrik stared intently at him and inquired with narrowed eyes.
