ZionWhen we got to the unit, Howard and I was just quiet. Auntie Zein came in first and immediately walked around the room to look for Crystal, then she turned to us full of astonishment.“Why can't I see Crystal? Where is she?” Auntie Zein asked.Howard and I looked at each other and couldn't answer. “Zion? Howard? What's going on? I thought there was a surprise?” Auntie looks at us both. “Why isn't Crystal around?”Auntie Zein sat on the sofa, tired and waiting for us to answer.“It's like this … Hmm, Crystal is gone, Auntie. She left,” Howard said.Auntie looked at me in surprise. “Huh?! Zion, what does he mean that Crystal is gone? And then she left? Why?”“It seems like, something suddenly happened that we didn't expect, Auntie. She needs to leave and go back home,” I sparingly explained.Fortunately, Auntie believed. “Is that so? Hays, it's a pity … I brought home a lot to meet her,” she said.“When is she supposed to come back then? It's like I know and give her what I brought,
Howard“Why didn't you tell me right away ?!” Zion exploded in anger because of what Auntie Zein had said.I am also confused. If she knew anything about what was going on, why was she still looking for Crystal earlier? What's the use of that? Is she pretending?“So, from the very beginning, you pretended to be ignorant and made us believe you were looking for Crystal?” I asked her.They were both stunned and turned to me again. Did I say something wrong?“Oh, not really! I admit I know something about Crystal's personality and kingdom, but I'm not aware that she came back with her cousin. Besides, I wanted to test both of you, I only found out about what happened, and I only suspect what I said, but I am certain that's what's happening now especially since I also know Themedeus …" Okay, that's crazy. I have nothing more to say and until now, Auntie's words have not entered my brain.I looked at Zion to find out what his reaction would be, he's beyond angry. Furthermore, I smiled beca
ZionOn our way back to the hotel, I immediately called Auntie Zein to speed us up, and we would just pick her up outside the hotel. Mind you, we use two cars now, a van that Howard drives with my men and I use my car for Auntie and me.“It's funny, it looks like you brought people to help you, ah?” Auntie Zein commented, who had just left the hotel.She was looking at Howard's car behind me. I also went down to meet her and open the door for her but she didn't go inside yet.“Yow!” Auntie calls attention while waving. “Thank you for coming with us!”As expected, my staff did the same, slipping their upper body out the window and waving back at Auntie Zein. Hays, I honestly don’t think she needs to do that anymore. They are fees and there is no choice but to come and I just let it go.“Auntie, that's enough. Take a ride, so we can get to Crystal quickly,” I said as I forced her to enter.She was laughing as she got on, so I closed it immediately and went back to my seat. I put
Howard“Okay, let's walk by here,” Auntie Zein said.“Huh?!” Unbelievable question of the staff. She turned to them and smiled. “Why is there a problem?”“Uh, Ma'am with all due respect, but it looks like we still have a long way to go, and the road is difficult,” one of them explained.“Oh? And then? Is that all?” Auntie asked.“Maybe it's better … if we just take our vehicle and ride?” Opinion of one of the staff.Idiots. Sometimes, they are not thinking.Auntie Zein nodded. “That won't work when we use a car. How will the residents who live here, react? They will eventually know that we don't live in this world. Do you want that? Remember, it's their territory.”That made them stunned. They looked at each other before giving up. She has a point, I looked at Zion as it started to walk.He turned to us and stopped. “We have to go, we don't have to waste time. Just bring something that you think you can handle and won't easily notice. You can fight basic, right? That's enou
Howard“Don't worry, I'm fine with Alfredo's curiosity, Celestine. That's normal,” Auntie Zein said.The female name Cristina also came to help Celestine to put the tea in the glass, they handed it to us properly, but I was shocked to know how heavy the glass was. Is it the tea? Or the glass? Or both of them?“It's delicious while it's still hot, so you should drink it,” Cristina said.I also noticed that the staff was still hesitant to drink that with us, so Auntie Zein started to make sure nothing strange was put there.“Uh, can I ask a question?” great statement by Sandoval, one of our companions.Also, Celestine gets some tea and then sits across from us. “Sure, go ahead.”“Is your glass heavy on purpose?” he asked.I heard the man named Alfredo hissed then the woman named Celestine laughed. “Oh! I didn't know that you were with jokers, Zein. You know that the weight of that glass is ten kilos. Almost all the equipment you can see here and from the outside is even heavier depend
ThemedeusI don't have any problems now with Crystal, even though she's the strongest of us all, it's still useless if I control her father's life.Yes, I finally defeated the King, and soon as Crystal and the whole kingdom will be mine very soon."Themedeus … you can't do what you want. It's hard to override the king's decision and transfer you to the position of being Alpha. We still need a ceremony for that, you also need to allow Crystal to hand over the role to you because she's the only our Alpha Supreme and she's just waiting for a future spouse, ” Adviser Neon explained, the king’s right-hand man and serving chief of law enforcement.Well, that’s not that hard for me because as long as the king is under me, Crystal will follow everything I want.“That won't be a hindrance,” I said.“Yes, if they will trust the position to you. Not only that, Alpha must first marry her mate before power can be transferred to you,” insisted Minister Prime, who manages the kingdom's personnel.Ma
CrystalI let out a deep sigh. “Alright, do everything you want. Just don't do anything bad to the King, Themedeus. I'm warning you if you ever broke it—”“Of course, I won't. He is also my uncle for Pete's sake!” he exclaimed.His reactions and emotions are all fake, trying to be a good and innocent nephew of the King. He clasped his hands together, and his smile became even wider.“Oh! I'm so happy! You should be like that always, Crystal! So, we don't need to go through violence,” he said.I turned my eyes to Chris and see that he was just quiet at the back of Themedeus. I know he wants to say something, but he just can't.Furthermore, I closed my eyes once again to let them disappear from my sight. “Now, that you've got what you wanted. I guess you can leave now. I consider it even more punishing to see your face for a long time than this, Themedeus. Not only that, but I want you gone,” I said annoyed, but then I heard him laugh.“I will let you slide this time, Crystal becaus
ChrisWhen we got back to the Main Hall, Themedeus immediately summoned everyone, including Blake. The smile on his face never vanished and for the first time, he managed to wait for everyone patiently.Is this happening? He's gone too far! He was consumed by greed for power. Oh, Crystal …hope you don't agree with his plan. You know all his plans. Tsk! This can't be, I have to make a way for the marriage not to fall asleep.Now, I need to go back to the human world to see the man named Zion. I knew he was the only one who could stop Themedeus' plan and convince Crystal to fight.“I'm here and happy to announce that the day after tomorrow will be Crystal and Blake's wedding! Isn't that great?” happy announcement by Themedeus.Everyone was quiet and probably shocked. Blake also drops his jaw to find out about that, he didn't expect that announcement.“Let this good news spread to the whole kingdom! They are all invited. I'm so happy for the two of them!” promised Themedeus.Oh
