His Witch Queen-Chapter 169: Protecting Lisa!

At this point there were no words that can describe how monotonous life appeared to the people of the palace. It has been two day since the funeral of Prince Dominic.

Entire kingdom was mourning for such a hefty loss.

It was still unpredictable by many and they had no hope of the future either. Knowing that there are only two children of the King, it was yet to be decided with whom the destiny lay.

It was night in the kingdom. But the major Royals weren’t asleep till yet.

Alice had shown up to her father’s chamber. She was wearing a large black-silver gown. On the top of that, she had a black coloured shawl that was wrapped around her shoulders.

As her eyes traced to see her father inside the chamber, she saw him standing at the adjacent balcony.

He is looking out of the chamber, into the sky without any soul.

But at the same time, Alice stopped near his bed to take over a piece of the shrug from the bed.

Bringing it with her, she came from her father’s back to make him wear it gently and with care. "It is very cold outside. You shouldn’t stay like this."

"Hmm..." King Vilas didn’t object. He lifted his hands and wore the soft shrug. However, his eyes didn’t tear from the sky.

Similarly, Alice too came to stand beside him. She had her hands wrapped around her shoulders, caressing her skin, "Why are you looking at the sky like this?"

"Just thinking about your brother and mother. How come they are able to reunite in the sky?" King Vilas’s words left Alice speechless.

She had no words to describe her own sentiments right now. But holding her heartbeat, she did mumble, "H-he is gone too soon. No one expected."

"Does anyone expect such an event, Alice? No, no one does. Neither was this case with your mother. We both know reality." King Vilas’s wise words made Alice’s lips turn into a grim style.

She blinked her eyes and lowered her head, "Why have you asked Lisa to stay... at the outskirts of the Kingdom? Don’t you think you are doing something wrong?She has brother’s blood, she loved brother. He too wanted to marry her. Then why..."

Hearing her words, King Vilas’s eyes glowed with the sparkle. The memory that he was going to be a grandfather brought the utmost joy.

But that joy was never at the cost of the absence of his own son. "Dominic wasn’t ill. However,there are no proof to define that he’s killed either." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"But taking every possibility into account, we have to think twice about everything. If Dominic’s life was in danger, that means the killer will not leave his child so easily. To not endanger Lisa’s life, we will have to keep her out of everyone’s eyes until... she and her child are fine."

Alice eyed her father with a narrow glint. She was too surprised and a bit suspicious at his orders. ’He is doing this all for the greater possibility?’ it didn’t make her any sense.

However, King Vilas has caught her nervousness right at the episode, "Ask whatever you don’t know, Alice."

"Are you sure that’s the sole reason for your actions?" Alice wasn’t hesitant anymore to confront, "Why do I feel that there’s more to that? Do you hate Lisa?" Alice can’t help but ask.

"No." King Vilas automatically replied. "I simply can’t take risks. If God has persisted all the three of us to have a piece of Dominic, then we don’t want any of us to lose it just because we are careless."

"Lisa has agreed to give birth to Dominic’s child and I’m grateful for that. However,she was never married to Dominic and that is why I’m afraid. I don’t want her life to be ruined. If we bring her into public life,she will lose her image. We don’t know if she will adjust with us anymore because Dominic isn’t here with her now."

King Vilas’s each word made sense to Alice. She knew that he didn’t hold ill intentions towards Lisa.

However, her mind was now getting some clear and distinct reasons to co-relate with her father’s thing.

’doesn’t want Lisa and I to be more upset..’ because all we have now is each other and that child. "I guess,that’s for the best."

"That’s all for the best now, Alice." King Vilas told.

For the next few minutes,another silence regained. The silence wasn’t awkward, but the both heartbroken souls were missing the one and only person.

Yet in the middle of the talks, King Vilas openly asked, "What is your husband playing now?"

"I didn’t talk with him for some days. I will do it soon." Alice told honestly.

King Vilas didn’t reply to the same but for the next few seconds, he had no sentences. In the middle of the cool winds blowing through both of their faces, they found comfort in the same loneliness.

While King Vilas was more or less feeling disconnected with the rest of the world, he had major responsibility resting on his shoulders.

It was supposed to be tackled as soon as possible.

Coughing, he gained Alice’s attention towards him, "Alice... there is something I need to look forward to."

"What?"

"Killer." King Vilas said. he shifted his focus back to her, "We both need to know who is the one behind killing Dominic. It is very vibrant that it is a murder and not merely a death."

KIng Vilas’s speech contained a very serious tone and this mde Alice’s lips slip down. She bit her lips in hesitation but then, mde her chin to lift, "Father...there is something I want it lel you."

KIng Vilas gave her the acknowledgment, "I know who the killer is."

Hearing this, King Vila’s brows lifted upwards in surprise and a bit of shock. He can’t believe what he had heard for the first time, "Who is he?"

"It’s no one else but, lady Ira."
