469 The Long Lost Tale Part XV (1/2)

Young Alex had decided not to kill him because the situation might just end up turning into another chaotic scene. The worst case scenario was that his father would certainly send more armies to this place. And that was not something he would allow.

Standing in the middle of them, Alexander looked at the wounded man who was still struggling to heal himself.

”Go back and don't come here again. I will go back to the palace on my own to see the king,” young Alex told them.

The wounded man looked up. The way he looked at Alex seemed to have changed and it seemed that it was for the better. What he showed them just now may have changed their original view that he was nothing but a weak half-blood. He wasn't weak at all.

”The king wants you to come as soon as possible. Please know that he will send more men if you don't appear before him within three days,” the man responded. ”We will go back and tell him you will arrive soon.”

And just like that, everyone disappeared from their sight and left.

Young Alex was surprised that the elite vampire seemed to have changed his mind about forcing him to leave with them but he didn't take too long to ponder over it. What mattered was that he had managed to protect Abigail's secret and her peaceful life.

However, after the relief, doubt started to creep inside him again. Was he really all that those vampires wanted? If not, then why did they leave just like that? Did his father really want to see him? Why?

”Alexander!” young Abi's voice pulled his attention back to her and Zeres.

She had already attended to Zeres' wounds. Luckily, he only suffered minor wounds from those vampires.

Abigail ran towards Alex, checking his body to make sure he was alright. He had few wounds as well but they were slowly healing on their own. ”Are you okay?” she asked.

”Mm.” Alex just nodded.

Alex looked back out into the thick forest, his eyes returning to its normal color before his gaze went to Abigail and Zeres again.

”Let's go back,” he said and the other two just nodded.

The three returned to Abigail's house in silence, their thoughts full of images of what they had just gone through.

When they arrived home, Zeres was quick to head off to the witch queen knowing that there were elite vampires in the area. He had been living with them for the last few days but this may have put a spanner in the works around that.

”When will you go?” she asked, her voice soft.

”I think I better go tomorrow. I don't want them coming out here again.”

”I see…” she averted her eyes from the sky and looked at him. ”You will come back, right?”
