The King Demon Mate
Chapters 16. Suspicions
In the vampire kingdom now, just like in Asdirst, Arabella shuts herself in her room while Max searches for Alena to the corners of Arsha.
For Arabella he had been separated from his daughter for 17 years and now he is back in separation for his entire life when he only briefly met and hugged his daughter.
"Your Majesty, may you open the door?" Said a maid from outside.
"If you want to come in just because of Max's orders, I don't want to!"
"Your Majesty hasn't eaten anything yet, please open his door, this is an order from King Max."
"I told you, I don't want to open the door let alone orders from my husband."
The maid sighed softly, she resigned if she had to be angry with King Max for not being able to give food to Queen Arabella.
He was still faithfully waiting outside who knew his Queen changed her mind and was willing to open the door.
"Tell my husband, I'll come out if my daughter can come back to life." Arabella's voice was heard.
"Is my sister-in-law still not coming out?" Prince Justin asked and approached the maid.
The maid looked down while nodding, Justin and his wife—daughter Lea threw each other a glance.
"You can go" Justin said. The maid bowed and then moved away from there.
Justin looked at the big door and put his palm on the door and told Leah to move away. Once the push that looks very slow the door was opened and even immediately split into two.
Justin and Lea went inside, and they found Arabella curled up on the floor hugging her legs.
"Sister." Lea touched Arabella's shoulder and the woman looked up to see Justin and Lea.
Lea smiled warmly then she carried Arabella into her arms and rubbed the woman's back.
"It is not only Kak Arabella who feels the loss of even one Arsha also grieved at the departure of Queen Alena."
"Sister-in-law better eat, my wife has cooked a delicious dish" Justin said.
Arabella.
"The king is back, brother. Doesn't Brother Arabella want to see your daughter-in-law?" Lea Said.
The woman raised her face and Lea let go of her embrace then smiled as it seemed like her sister-in-law was slightly responding.
"Dighan knows that his wife is dead?" Ask Arabella.
"Better brother-in-law just meet with the King, me and Lea do not know about it."
"Where is my husband?" Ask her again.
"Sister isn't in the palace, there may be important business" Justin replied.
...****************...
"Rasy!" Shouted Saviona.
"Yes, princess?"
"Get me some meat and a bottle of wine" Saviona said.
"Daughter has been drinking a lot of wine, I'd better get a glass of lemon water, huh?"
"Who are you setting my rules? I'm satisfied because Alena's gone and her body's gone somewhere. Dighan's destruction will be upon me soon" Saviona said with a hawk's gaze killing him.
Brakkkh
"You're nothing?" Shouted Saviona wrathfully.
"You're the shit, huh? You want that woman?" His words nyalang.
"Who do you mean? Alena's? I don't know, wherever that woman is I don't care." Saviona.
"We never planned any of this, why did you bring the woman's body without my knowledge?"
"Aren't you the one like that? You're the one who kidnapped Alena?" Ask Saviona to investigate.
"Sad, even if I'm sneaky but I'm not going to ruin my own game, you should know that Alena's missing it's going to boomerang for both of us!"
"I don't care, we can enjoy Dighan's destruction because of Alena's disappearance."
"As far as you are, so what's your next plan?" Ask the guy.
"Watching the drama," Saviona replied casually.
"Stop playing around, Viona. I mean what do we do to the King's destruction after Alena's departure?"
"Destroying one by one the closest people to the King, one of his Mother Dighan may."
"You mean Queen Mallery? Isn't d-"
"He's still alive! But his whereabouts are unknown, we can find Queen Mallery if it's in our grasp only that Dighan's weakness after his wife." Cut Saviona out before the guy finishes his words.
"I don't understand" said the man.
"Ck is not to be understood! We better find the whereabouts of Mallery. Just obey my orders." Saviona was really careless with this guy, why should he cooperate with him yes just because of the same goal he had to patiently face the person in front of him but look at it later, then, once Dighan is destroyed he will eliminate this man.
...****************...
Arabella bows her body when dealing with Dighan. It seems strange indeed if it is known that an in-law bowed to the son-in-law but here the position of rank and throne is the top priority.
"Your majesty!" Arabella.
"Where's my wife?" Dighan asked ignoring the call from his mother-in-law. He circulated his views hoping that his Queen would come and greet his arrival.
Arabella understood, Dighan had not known the news and thought maybe no one dared to say it because maybe the anger of the King was very dangerous.
"Alena's on an interest, she's with my husband, your honor."
"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Dighan looked at Arabella with a look of intimidation, really if he was stared at like this he felt like he was skinned alive.
"Because no one wants to interfere with important noble affairs" Arabella reasoned. But it was a waste because he knew that Arabella was lying.
"If you're not my wife's mother, then your life's up in my hands because of your bullshit."
Dighan distanced his body. He left the Dawner residence with a haughty face.
...****************...
At his palace Dighan enjoyed a banquet prepared by the maids. Some time ago he was accompanied by Alena at this dining table but now it feels like coming back again like a few years ago.
Dighan notices Azura because it is not usual that the woman's face is too gloomy and she is not alone with her sister, Laquel.
"Where's Laquel?" Tanya Dighan.
Laquel was surprised by the question, he stopped his work and answered the King's question with a bow.
"My sister is now a prisoner in Asdirst, your honor."
"Nobody told me, again?"
Azura shook her head
"Get Samier and Orion here" Dighan ordered. And Azura just complied, he gave his respects before leaving the place.
Soon, Orion and Samier arrive and bend their bodies. The two of them could already guess as to what his noble called the two of them.
"Why did Alena's departure from the Palace also incarcerated her Laquel no one told me?" Dighan asked with his murderous gaze.
"Your Majesty, Queen Alena" Samier's words came to a halt when Orion told him to be silent and not tell him the truth.
"Let Samier say that, Orion!" Dighan said without looking at Orion.
"Continue saying," he continued.
"Queen Alena is gone, your honor. And Laquel is accused of murdering the Queen." Samier did not hesitate to say that, although he was afraid of the King's tantrums but the King also needed to know about this sad news.
Dighan looked at Samier, knowing that he was not lying at all and that his wife was dead.
Dighan's eyes turned into a hideous pitch-black, just the instant that he was still in the form of a King now turned into a sinister demon. Orion and Samier retreat, afraid that Dighan might harm them both.
"Where's my wife? I want to see her."
"Your Majesty, the queen's ja-sad is gone. All Arsha's bodyguards have been ordered to find the Queen" Orion said.
"Tell Aybar, take care of Asdirst as long as I go find my wife." After saying that, Dighan left Orion and Samier with a form that was still a demon.
...****************...
"The king did not order us to punish the maid" Orion told William.
"Why?"
"I know, the King believed in Laquel very much. He may already know who killed the Queen and will now search for her body to make sure the Queen is safe from the killer."
"Do we have to make plans too, Orion?" Tawar William's.
Orion laughed at the offer, "are you enough to believe?"
"I am the loyal bodyguard of King Max, the father of Queen Alena. There's no way I'm a traitor, I'm just like you and Samier."
Orion doesn't believe her whole trust with William considering the man who has put Laquel into a dungeon, but he should also be able to take advantage of William in this kind of situation.
"I'll arrange where we should talk about the plan" Orion said, leaving William smiling.
"What have you talked to Orion about?" Azura asked who had just been there.
"Nothing" replied William.
Azura squinted her eyes, she had always been suspicious of this man next to her, how not? Queen Alena is sick and not after William's presence let alone she has accused Laquel of doing it all.
William lowered his height to be on par with Azura, then he brought his lips closer to the girl's ears.
"Be careful, Miss Azura. Don't let you have the same fate as your sister, Miss Laquel." William kept his head away, he re-enforced his body while looking at Azura with a difficult gaze to interpret.
Could it be that William was a traitor and he had sided with the man who had killed Queen Alena?
Azura was just silent, she was too late with the words of William just now. After her Azura left William without a word.
The man only shook his head when he saw Azura's departure, his intention just wanted to play around with the sweet maid.
...****************...
Aybar was in his room, alone. Just now that he got word from Samier that Dighan went from the palace to look for Alena, Aybar admitted that he did feel the loss of Alena and he did not want his sister as he used to.
Although Dighan once gave him punishment but Aybar could not hate him. All this time Dighan who has been guarding her after their parents are gone, Dighan is not a bad brother figure, behind his cruel nature there is the best side of the man.
Aybar promised, he will help Dighan find Alena's whereabouts even though he now has a big responsibility here.
The man sighed softly, if he didn't come back here then surely all would be well especially his sister-in-law wouldn't have left.
The sound of the door opening, Aybar's sharp eyes staring at who dared to enter his room without saying anything.
"I brought you this, emm.." Aybar raised one of his eyebrows, it seemed like the woman was going to say something, she was waiting for him.
Aybar's hand received something that the woman brought, he could see if the woman was smiling but he did not care.
"You're not looking for Queen Alena?" ask her.
"No, I don't think your eyes are blind, Saviona why I'm still here and not out of the palace."
"I'm sorry." Saviona lowered her head, although she liked Dighan but she could not resist the charm of her husband, it was possible that she would be determined to get rid of Qelsa. He could have caught Dighan's attention because Alena was gone but he was too afraid of the man that he would slowly bring Aybar to his side to fight Dighan and Qelsa.
"You wanna stay here? I want to be alone and yes don't expect me to be fair to you nor Qelsa, won't." Aybar emphasized his every word while looking at the woman sharply, he knew if Saviona and Qelsa were the same but foolishly he married them both, Aybar did it just appreciated Dighan, he said, he has his own plans for the two little mice, yes Aybar will get rid of his wives.
