Chapter 389 - Shared Pain



Some of the Princes, Princesses, Queens, and concubines had gathered around the King\'s Court after they were finally allowed to do so by the Palace Guards.

The Royals then bombarded questions to the guards who had witnessed the terror of the monsters. And the guards and the General were trying their best to answer all of their questions without scaring the Royals.

However, all of them were terrified to hear that the King of Mihir looked like a human but was a monster in disguise. And that he and the other similar monsters had attacked the King and the Princess and both of them were undergoing treatments.

"Can I see the King?" Queen Claricia was worried about her husband\'s health and she wanted to check how he was doing.

However, General Keith denied that request from the third Queen, "I\'m sorry, Your Majesty. I don\'t think that is possible at the moment. I\'ve been ordered not to let anyone meet His Majesty and Her Highness until they regain their consciousness."

Queen Vultrada, who had been listening to the conversation suddenly chimed in, "You are the highest in command right now. So whose order are you taking?"

"The to-be Prince Consort is here to handle the situation," Keith kept the answer short and tried to wrap up his conversation with the Queen.

Queen Vultrada was furious for no reason. And she rudely shouted at the General, "He is not even married to the Princess yet and he is already taking charges of the Palace? How can you blindly follow that outsider?"

Keith was already starting to get agitated by answering the Queens when he had to take care of so many other things.

So he dismissed the rude Queen saying, "We all have witnessed how he was the one to protect the King and the Princess from getting assassinated today. And I recognize a capable leader when I see one. So I am not blindly following him but I consciously decided to follow him."

And without waiting to hear the reply of Queen Vultrada, he bowed to Queen Claricia and left.

"Such impudence!" Queen Vultrada scoffed and rolled her eyes at the General. "Who is this Prince Theodore that everyone is already defending him? I bet he is just here for the throne and by the looks of how things are going, he is already succeeding at it."

Edwin and Raphael were also standing close by while listening to the conversation between the Queens and the General. And needless to say, both of them were angered by how Queen Vultrada was talking about Theodore.

Edwin took the initiation to shut down the Queen and replied harshly, "Queen Vultrada, you shouldn\'t be spouting anything that comes to your mouth. Prince Theodore doesn\'t need a small Kingdom like Wyverndale. He has a whole realm to rule."

Raphael immediately covered Edwin\'s mouth and nervously laughed. "I\'m sure Edwin meant to say that Prince Theodore is not after the throne."

Raphael then added with a serious tone, "And I guess Prince Theodore is just making sure that the Palace doesn\'t fall apart without the proper guidance right after such a tragedy. There is no harm in doing so."

Vultrada glared at both the Princes and left from there without a word.

Queen Claricia still looked frantic and she asked the Princes, "You two are close to Adeline. Haven\'t you seen her? How is she and how is the King?"

Raphael\'s face dropped the moment Claricia asked about Adeline. "We also don\'t know for sure. I was in my quarter and by the time I was allowed to get out, I heard that something bad had already happened here. I\'m also hearing the bad news just now."

"Do you know where they are? Are they still in there?" Claricia asked while looking inside the King\'s Court.

Raphael pursed his lips and shook his head. But after knowing that Theodore was here in the Palace, he was sure that wherever they were, they would be safe. So he held Queen Claricia\'s hand and consoled her, "Prince Theodore is a very trustworthy person. I\'m sure he is taking care of both of them."

Edwin also stepped closer to the queen and said in a polite way, "I will have someone call you the moment we hear that we are allowed to visit. For now, why don\'t you return to your quarter and rest? Do not stress too much over it."

Claricia sighed heavily and nodded her head even though she didn\'t want to leave just yet.

Edwin gestured the Queen\'s personal maids to escort her back to her quarter.

And when she was taken away, Raphael whispered to Edwin with an appalled look on his face, "Those damned vampires were bold enough to come to our palace unannounced and attack the King and Adeline. They are bad news!"

"And they said that they wanted to have a peace talk! Peace my arse!" Edwin let out an exasperated sigh and whispered, "The prophecy from the Mystic Coven is coming true. Now there is no way that the war is going to stop."

Raphael furrowed his brows and asked Edwin, "I think I heard one of the guards saying that their Princess was killed?"

"Yes, I think I also heard someone saying that," Edwin took a deep sigh and mumbled, "I have a feeling that that King will finally remember me."

"Oh, yes. You were supposed to be our agent before all this nonsense about the peace talk, right?" Raphael asked with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Yes. And I am going to make sure to act really well if they happen to remember me." Edwin was not sure how much of an impact he would be able to make but he was going to make sure that those bloody vampires would pay for what they did today.

Edwin clenched his teeth and put his palm under the collar of his surcoat. He winced in pain when his finger touched what felt like closed wounds. He clenched both of his fists and thought to himself, "I was supposed to protect Adeline! And she got hurt that badly. There is no way I alone could have protected her if I literally share her pain like this."

All this time, Edwin had felt the agonizing pain that Adeline had felt in the fight. He was in his workroom and was clinging on for his dear life when Rebekah had bitten Adeline. Apart from bleeding like Adeline, he felt every bite and every prick that Adeline felt.

And now, he was more determined than ever to protect Adeline\'s life and ultimately his.. "I have to find some ways to defeat those bloody vampires… I have to convince the witches and wizards to side with Wyverndale… no matter what it takes."
