Chapter 91: Florence pack mysteries
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS P.O.V
I saw her sipping her coffee at the backyard while Eugene is busy in her training. He is now trying to perform all the spells in three grimoires that Cynthia gave to her. The door opens, its Yael.
"Are you happy watching your woman and son?"
"Of course. Everything seems surreal and unreal but I am enjoying this sudden changes in my life. But as for you, why are you here? I everything okay in your territory?"-I ask. He sigh and nod.
"Yes, but I am worried because marquis Wiles family suddenly disappear and I can't smell that bastard's scent in this kingdom."-he said.
"Disappear? What is your initial investigation?"
"There is no force entry or any ruckus that happens in their mansion. Their furniture's are still there. Theirs clothes and other things that should stay in the house are still there. I think they move out on their own will. Marquis Wiles must have been afraid because you technically watching him. He save his family and maybe his wealth either."
"If that's the case he only proves that he is guilty in conniving with our enemies. We have to be careful and they will surely bit us when the time comes."
"If that's what happened, you have to talk to Marko. We have to train our armies on their great potential. I don't want to lose on this war and even anyone of us. I knew we all wanted to survive, isn't it?"
"Don't worry, we have been preparing about that since the day that Cynthia had envision that day. Relax and don't pressure yourself too much, Ulysses. I know you, just trust your comrades. WE are here and we will be stronger that our selfish enemies. Trust me."-he said and put his hands on my shoulder. I smiled and try to calm my emotions.
"I am just afraid for the fact that Cynthia might be reckless again and you know what danger she might face."-I said. He look at them.
"I know. It will be lethal if she'll get reborn. But I trust her will. She is very persistent and she still find her way back to us."-Yael.
"Yes, that's true. Maybe I should not worry too much. I will put my whole faith to my mate."
"That's better. Anyway, I have to go. Yasmin will make my favorite food for dinner. I don't want to miss that. Later."-he said. I nod. He use teleportation talisman and disappear. I went off downstairs to have some coffee when I saw the three apprentice's of Cendrea. Farrah speaks first.
"Do you need anything, your majesty?"
"Just call me father. I'll do it myself."-I said.
"Okay...fa-father? This is really weird."-she said.
"I also think but we have to get used to it. Clara, can you pass me a cup please?"-I ask. She gave it to me.
"Are you going to have some coffee?"-she ask.
"Yes, I already finish some work in my table. I wanted to have some coffee before dinnertime."
"I see. Do you want us to cook something specific, Ulysses?"-Miranda. I can smell the dishes they're simmering. I shook my head and smile.
"No. All the food that you guys cook are good to go."-I said. They smile and continue their business. Upon sipping if the coffee is good, I left the kitchen and went to the backyard. I saw that Eugene seems to be trying to lift up the curse of necromancy.
"You're getting better at this, son."-I said.
"Thank you after. Mother is my greatest master."
"Your son is like you also. He already had sweet tongue."-she said. I just laugh and sip.
"Cynthia, are you okay?"-I ask. She look at me. But I just stare at our son who continue his business.
"What is wrong with you? Why did you suddenly had that random questions?"-she utters.
"You know what I mean. It's about the effects of your curse."-I mumbled. She chuckled.
"I already lift the curse. Have you forgotten?"
"Huh? Wait... what are you talking about?"-I ask.
"I already found a way to lift up the curse. I was 8 moths pregnant when I discovered how to do it. That's why now, I am no longer bearing my mother's curse. I can still be reborn but I won't turn into an evil witch, I promise."-she said.
"You are lying. You know that I can sense it."
But the truth is, I knew she isn't. But I wanted to see what will be her reaction. She kiss me in my cheek instead. That made me look at her and then she kiss me in my lips. But she also flick my forehead.
"What was that for?!"-I ask.
"Because you lied! Have you forgotten that I can read your mind? Fir the kiss? I just want it."
"Huh?! You're strange in every way possible, Cynthia. If that's the case, please be careful on the things you do, okay? I don't want to lose any of you."
"Yes, boss. I heard you loud and clear."
"Good. I love you."-I said. She smiled.
"Me too. I love you."-she answered.
"Should I leave you guys alone or what?"-our son.
"Hey, don't be rude to your parents, young man."
"Oh. I'm sorry."-he said. But he is smiling and walk away. He will surely continue his training in the garden. I pulled her up and made her sit on my lap.
"Maybe we should start making baby number two?"
"What? Your being lewd again. Cut it off."-she said.
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN P.O.V
After eating dinner, he said that he will be at his office and he need to read an important matter. I suddenly notice that he remember something when we are eating at the dining hall. I decided to go there when I bump Pricilla. She is carrying a huge piles of papers. She smiled when she saw me.
"Where are you going, Cynthia?"
"To Ulysses" office. What's wrong with those huge piles of papers. Is everything okay?"-I ask. She shook her head and sigh.
"That spoiled brat. He suddenly remember something and he ask me and Vincent to work with him at this hour."-she said.
"What is it? Why he can't wait for tomorrow? This is unusual from him."-I said.
"It's about marquis Cage. He suddenly remember that official and he think that he is also behind about the sudden disappearance of a strong pack from 57 years ago. He wanted to know if that is not a simple annihilation of a pack."-she said.
"I'll come along. I might help you guys."
"Much better. The more the merrier. I mean the better. Maybe we can drag Chenqian and Marko here either?"-she suggested. I shook my head.
"Let them have some rest. They're already tired in the camp. Maybe we can handle this altogether."
"Maybe I can help mother."-Eugene appear.
"No. it's okay son. Just go top bed. Maybe you can also hang out with your mate?"-I said.
"Okay, mother. Just tell me when you need my hands."-he said. We both nod and he left us.
"Here's the papers that your asking my stupid cousin."-Pricilla. That made me laugh.
"C'mon, don't be like that my favorite cousin."
"Tss. I am your only cousin, silly."-he said. I sat down and face the papers that Pricilla put down the long table. I raise my hand and use levitation spell. I even use a special reading glasses. They look at me.
"Why did we forgot about this?!"-Pricilla.
"What? Why are you guys staring at me like that?"
"Can we have a reading glass as well? WE have been reading since ages."-Ulysses.
"Okay. You should've ask my help anyway."
I snap my finger and they all have a pair. WE all concentrated and I notice some weird statements against the pack that they're investigating.
"What kind of group of Florence Pack?"-I ask.
"They're not an allies nor enemies. They only live what is right and what the situation ask for them. But usually they save innocent lives."-Ulysses.
"Marquis's Cage pack are trying to kill their leader."
"Why? What is there reason? Personal feud or did they just offend each other?"-I ask.
"Personal reasons. I heard that Cage is trying to covet the Florence alpha's wife. She is a beauty and Cage had an ego. He had that famous motto, what I want, I get them at all odds."-Vincent.
"The name of their alpha is Winston Hugh, right?"
"Yes, he is a strong and prominent alpha."-Pricilla.
"His wife is still alive. She must be in Cage's care. She's that marquis lover. She must be the one who traitors the Florence pack. That's why no matter how strong the wolves in that pack, they all die."
"What? But how did you—?"
I let them see the statements of some random wolves in this paper. They look at it."
"They're called rouges. They must have accidentally saw what happened at that time. But Marquis Cage report, it was said that no one saw what happened."
"This must be a letter or being send to the palace by those rogues. That's why I saw them in the files about the revenues and expenses that Skyfall uses in building a bridge and building in Gloom village."
"What?! So this is the clue that we needed all this time is just here? Great. I feel stupid all of a sudden."-Pricilla. I just chuckle.
"Vincent, I want you to investigate about marquis Cage wife. He married that woman when the anniversary of Florence pack annihilation is held. There must be something that is worth to catch."
"Understood, your majesty. Leave that matter to me. I will try to know if his wife is the Luna of Florence pack."-he said. He speak to Pricilla.
"I want you to investigate about the rogues who witness this event, Pricilla. You are good in dealing with these wolves."-he said.
"Okay then. Leave it to me."
"Thank you, Cynthia. That saves our time. WE can now all go to bed."-he said. We all stretches our back and leave his office. It is indeed tiring.
We are now in bed but both of us can't have our eyes close. I lean my elbow on the bed and put my face on my palm. I look at him.
"I know that you're thinking what I have in mind as well."-I stated. He sigh and faces me.
"I feel like I will be burst off in any moment from now. We keep on having more problems."
"That's what life is. We all made mistakes that lead us troubled. Our lives had been connected by one another. We just have to be ready."
"How can you be so optimistic at this moment?"
"If I sulk around, would that help us? I have to tell you this, maybe your parents is still alive."
