96 Enough (1/2)

The princess subconsciously stepped back as Alex continued walking closer to her, glaring into her eyes like he was piercing through her soul. The danger in his eyes turned uncontrollable and she instantly felt as if he was almost going to do something brutal.

But before Alexander could reach her, the Queen suddenly stood between them.

”Alex, please calm down,” Queen Leah urged, her face filled with worry.

However, Alex just let out a menacing laugh.

”Hahaha. Calm down? How could I calm down when my little lamb is nowhere to be found?” he asked. He still looked relatively calm but everyone knew that the volcano would soon erupt if they didn't do anything. They had to find this girl or else something worse than their worst nightmare might happen.

”Alex, we will help you look for her.” The queen did her best to coax him but Alexander was a solid, unwavering glacier that no fire could melt.

”Oh, help me, huh? Of course you should…” he told her before his gaze flew back to the princess. ”Now, step back. I have business with your daughter,” he coldly and heartlessly said, causing the queen to feel terrified.

She looked at Princess Mira with millions of questions in her eyes. She knew that Alex was targeting the princess but what could her daughter have done to earn this treatment?

”Alex, wait please. What do you mean –”

Before the queen could complete her statement, Alex already walked past her towards Princess Mira. However, before he could reach the princess, the king finally moved and stood between Alex and his daughter.

”Alexander…” King Livius pulled Princess Mira behind him and stood before Alex, his expression now looking very grave.

”King Livius, step aside. This has nothing to do with you,” Alex uttered as his eyes blazed coldly at the man.

The queen was about to approach them again because she was afraid that a fight might explode between the two but the King stopped her with his next words.

”Leah, stop! Do not interfere anymore,” the king said without averting his gaze away from Alex. Vigilance and intense alertness were flooding in his eyes.

”Move, King Livius.” Alexander's patience had long reached its limit and the warning in his voice this time was tinged with the highest form of danger.

”Alexander, you think my daughter is the one behind that girl's disappearance, right? Let me handle her so stay put,” the King calmly said. Gone was the man who let out that loud, thundering sound earlier as he became incredibly calm and careful.

The king could not let Alexander start a fight in this place with all his family here. He knew that if a fight broke out, that would be disastrous. This problem needed to be solved as fast as possible. They needed to find that girl very quickly or Alex might really do something even worse than what he imagined.
