His Witch Queen-Chapter 141: Unrevealed Tale!

"I’m here to talk about that, I guess.." Cyrus had no idea who Derek was. But suddenly seeing how the old man recognized him as someone else’s son, disrupted his heart.

Instead of telling outrageously that he doesn’t know who Derek was, Cyrus played smart enough to not let this old man shut the door on his face. "If you can please.."

"You are the Crowned Prince of the Gazelle kingdom, If I’m not wrong?" the old man once again asked, to which Cyrus gave him a stern nod.

’At least this man knows who I actually am...’ this was a big relief to know.

But if he knew that he is the Crowded prince, why did he not say he was the son of King Almen? Probably that wasn’t the truth and, that’s why he has stored a lot of secret information.

The old man traced his eyes once gan from up top, looking at Cyrus with his narrowed yet glinted eyes.

There was a spark, unforgettable memories that faded in his mind. But holding everything back, he adjusted his gaze a bit to find that there were four soldiers behind Cyrus and a lady who stood in the middle.

’A lady with silver hair?’ a frown curved on his forehead but still, holding it back, the old man shifted his eyes once again on Cyrus. "General Ryan must have sent you if I’m not wrong."

"Correct.."

"Come in then..." the old man motioned to follow him. But then, he added, "Ask your other people to also step aside."

"A-alright." receiving the permission, Cyrus turned around to let his soldiers rest their guards down. Since the man was still being nice and recognized him, it was a relief washing all over his head. Nevertheless, there was always more than being fearful.

The past he is here to unreveal will actually make him go-rounds in the emotional tunnel.

When Alice and the other soldiers got the sign, they retreated their swords. They walked to the door of the house, where Alice didn’t leave her glance on Cyrus’s face. She clutched his hand in others, passing him an assured smile.

As if that was all that was needed to do the work, Cyrus took a deep breath and stepped into the house of the old man, and closed the door behind him. The soldiers removed their heavy arms at the entrance, keeping a small sword along with them.

Princess Alice and Prince Cyrus walked hand in hand to come inside the house. It was a big hall from the inside, and Alice realized that the temperature here was warm, compared to what she felt outside. Her eyes roamed around to look at the interior, finding it absolutely beautiful.

The soldiers sat at odd places, while it was the Princess and the prince who took the prime seat on the wooden couch. The old man, who vanished into his room, also came back to show up at the same place. He sat in front of them but holding them in his hand was more interesting.

At this time, Alice saw the old man’s face closely. The wrinkles reimplanted on his face. His hair was all white due to old age and the bones were somewhat highlighted. No doubt, he was an aged Vampire, she was seeing for the very first time.

’He looks older than king Almen..’ she realized this the hard way. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Who is the lady?" the old man raised his head to look at Cyrus, waiting for an answer. "My wife. She’s the Crowned princess of the Suzania Kingdom, Princess Alice."

Hearing her name, the old man finally averted his gaze in her direction. His gaze was sending chills towards her and she sensed a bit of hostility from his side too. "Is she a human?" the old man inquired, to which Cyrus hesitantly replied. "She is. But we don’t have an outsider, we can always discuss things in front of her.."

"It is nice to see you trusting a human. A trait Derek possessed." Once again, an old man mentioned a name that shattered his emotions.

But to pass the greetings, Alice took the initiative too. "You don’t have to feel uncomfortable due to my presence. I don’t have any ill intentions..."

"I can see that, Lady. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been sitting inside my house." the old man responded to shut her up.

’He is still narcissistic.’ She realized it the hard way but holding her self-respect down, Alice isn’t muttering anything.

For now, she was keen to learn about the new information which he could provide. Provoking him would be the last resort which will act to their disadvantage.

Moreover, then she saw the book which the old man held in his hands. She was doubtful but her mind told her this must be of some importance too.

However, in this conversation, she let Cyrus take the lead to let the man come to the topic straight away. Coughing, he gained the old man’s attention. "You said I’m Derek’s son? Who is this Derek?"

"Did you learn that you aren’t King Almen’s son till now?" the old man asked, which made Cyrus pass him a nod. "I-I did. That King is ready to kill me and, use my wife as bait to kill the King of the Suzania kingdom."

"I don’t even expect anything better out of a power-driven vampire like him. He was always hated by elders of the Kingdom, he went against the rules of the vampires." The old man’s wiser words were still meaningless to everyone’s ears.

Notably, they doubted things but all because there was a big question resting in their heart too. Why was King Almen described as ruthless and worse than the animal by others? Which elders and the rules as he went against t?

Tons of the unsaid quotes rose in his mind. But he still waited for the time being, and let the old man reveal the thought. Slowly and steadily, The Old man opened his book which was covered with dust.

"To know who Derek was and who your parents are, you will need to understand a bit of your dynasty. The Gazelle Kingdom wasn’t set up at this point. It was a long time ago when real vampires were made. All pure ones. No one was filtered, there wasn’t any hatred for the humans either at that time."

"Centuries I would say. Vampires were created out of humans, but when there were different herbs used to create Evolutions, so did this item. However, when the Gazelle kingdom was flourishing, there wasn’t any other significant vampire Kingdom."

The old man told in detail about the dynasty and the prestige of the Gazelle kingdom, which made Cyrus’s chin proud. It boosted the confidence of the soldiers too.

But Alice was worried that this wall was all the happiness that came before the storm arrived.

"Prince William was the King who finished this Gazelle kingdom into what it is right now. Anyone couldn’t have imagined what the kingdom might be without him." The name struck something in Cyrus’s brain. As if, something hard stone was kept on his head.

Even Old man and ALICE noted his change of expression, yet they kept it to themselves before Old man started again. "It was in the main season when King William had concubines."

"Despite the King having concubine, no one could take after the title of the Queen, except any special one. So was the case. King William wed the one he loved, Queen Julia, someone whom he had loved more than anyone else in his life."

"This gained the illness of others, the major powerful concubines too. But that didn’t leave the matter that at that time, combines will never compete with the Royal wives. To avoid the conflicts, the King, in those times, always had one Royal wife with themselves. Others were brought to be concubines and their children were never given anything in return."

"King Almen changed the rules." Cyrus comments on learning this. The old man agreed, "He changed the course of our lives and generations, what are these mere rules for him?"

"Where was I?" The old man asked and then remembered to continue further, "Queen Julia gave birth to their firstborn son, Prince Derek. After that, there were four other children, three girls and the youngest was a boy too."

"In the harem of the King, the echo of the child was raised, Prince Derek was born. Before That, no concubine was able to bore him, children. The fact that his wife was the first, raised her status among why the rest of the KINGDOM do too." the old man explained and they could imagine how important it was at that time.

But the next words of the old man made the theme gulp the saliva, "Yet, the powerful and the head of the harem, Concubine Shirley wasn’t less than anyone else. Seeing the rise of Queen Julia was troublesome for her so, after a few trials, she was successful in getting pregnant and giving birth to a child."

"....And the child was none other than, at that time Prince Almen, and currently, King Almen of the Gazelle kingdom."
