Chapter 234: 233

Kai had been indeed locked in his room, guards outside his door and under his balcony so they would make sure he wouldn't try and find a way to escape. Lun had been dragged away, locked too but in the dungeon as he waited for his time to come.

They were going to execute him, they were going to have him killed for something that he didn't even do! Kai couldn't sit still, he moved back and forth, biting his nails as he tried to find a solution to all of this, a way out so his best friend wouldn't get killed. 

As he laid in his bed, staring at the ceiling while his feet dangled from the mattress he sighed, no ideas popping in that smart head of his. There was just a blank, not even a fragment of a thought that could be useful. He didn't have the time to think, everything had happened so fast that he was now stuck in these tall walls with no way out and with no way of proving himself innocent.

He heard a knock on his door, his eyes suspiciously landing on it. The key entered the keyhole from outside and the door opened slowly revealing Philip. Kai sat up immediately, rushing towards him and landing in his arms, desperate for some support. 

Philip's arms tightened around him, his head resting in the crook of his neck as he breathed in his scent. He couldn't believe it, he had found him just for stupid incidents like this to have them apart again.

"Are you alright?" Philip asked him and Kai nodded.

"I am not worried about me. I am worried about Lun, I can't let him get killed, Philip. There must be a way, something that we missed that will help us." Kai said, looking into Philip's desperate eyes. The werewolf caressed his cheek. His expression showed that he did not hope for much, in his mind Lun was already dead but the young prince couldn't just let go of him. He was his best friend. "Please, Philip, help me out."

"I don't know what we could do." Philip told him, his warm palm resting on his cold cheek. "I don't really think there is actually much we could do." 

"Don't say that. I…"

"Kai! Let me in!" A voice interrupted the prince. It came from the outside, making Kai's blue eyes widen as he watched his door open. A young vampire Philip had never noticed before walked in, his deep blue eyes filled with worry. "Kai, are you alright? Xan, he told me everything, we tried to get the weapon out of the room but it was too late." 

"Who's this?" Philip asked, looking at Ash from head to toe.

"I'm Ash. Kai's guard." The young vampire said, looking at the werewolf with a stern expression.

"Guard? Kai doesn't need a guard, he has me." He said and Ash scoffed. 

"Obviously you haven't been doing a great job." He insulted him and Philip's body tensed. 

"What did you say?" He asked him. 

"No." Kai stated, standing between them. "This is not the time for the two of you to fight. I forbid it. Ash, Philip is my lover and you will respect him and Philip Ash is important to me and he is also a teen so show some understanding." He said, looking between them, back and forth with a serious expression. Ash nodded while Philip clicked his tongue, not really satisfied but still stepping back.

"Kai, what will you do about Lun?" Ash asked him and the young prince frowned. 

He wished he knew, he wished someone would just give him an answer on what he should do, a way to fight this agony inside of him. No one cares about Lun, once Kai had been off the hook no one really bothered with helping his best friend, he was disgusted. 

"I don't know. I need to think about something soon."

"Kai don't get yourself in more trouble." Philip warned him and the young prince looked at him annoyed. 

"What do you mean? I should leave Lun just like that to die? Would you do that if it was Mika or Reina? You're disappointing me right now. You want me to leave those who wanted to kill me unpunished."

"It's not like that. It's just that the treaties right now are important."

"Would you say that if the one being executed was me?" Kai asked him and Philip's eyes widened. A shameful expression on his face. "You wouldn't but Lun does not matter to you. It's understandable but he matters to me! That's why I need to get out of here and save him."

"Calm down knight in shining armor." Kai heard his brother's voice from behind him. He turned around, seeing him support himself at the door frame. "Lun is gone."

"Gone? What do you mean gone?" 

"I set him free. Soon they will realize he is gone so we need to find out who did this whole shit so he can come back. They will send patrols, he will be announced as an actual criminal so think. Think if there is something we missed, you're good at that." His brother told him and Kai sighed. His eyes focused on the floor, replaying everything that had happened, trying to see further from the anger he felt.

Lun for now was alive. That helped him calm down a bit and the fog in his mind seemed to slowly disappear. Now he had a little more time, a few more hours to figure this out.

The scenes replayed backwards in his head, the words reaching him either muffled or with words missing. He was so furious back then that he didn't pay close attention to anything except…

"They don't know where we sleep." Kai mumbled as he raised his head, his eyes glowing with his unexpected discovery. "Xan, they don't know where we live!" He exclaimed.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Alloy said they couldn't have planted the knife in my room because the royal quarters are always kept a secret. We all know here that she did it so if she didn't know where we live someone from the inside must have done it. Gather all the maids, secretly in a room. We will be saving Lun.." Kai announced, a proud grin on his face.
