Chapter 199 BATHING OF BLOOD

PYRO’S POV

I pulled the comforter to cover Fira’s body. I was staring at her beautiful face as I was sitting next to her.

Damn. She should not know. She needs to have a peaceful mind.

When I went to the Dungeon in the middle of the night last time, Carter was not there. I did not tell Fira, she must be so anxious. I had no idea where he went and who helped him.

I brought down my lips on her forehead. I caressed her cheek before I went up and put on clothes. I never told the problem to Hali and Raiden. They were more problematic than me. I and Colden were cooperating to find him.

I had difficulty leaving Fira in the middle of the night. What if she wakes up without me by her side?

I kissed on her lips before I walked through the door. Every walk was heavy for me.

“Seryo, take a look for Fira. If she looks for me, just tell her I’m on duty.” I taped his shoulder. “I trust you.”

“I will do as your command, Your Majesty.”

I left him and headed to the chamber of Colden. He was waiting for me outside near the door. His shoulder was leaning at the side of the wall.

“You took so long.” Colden rolled his eyes. “The guard told me that they saw Carter here in the surrounding kingdom.”

“Did they catch him?”

“Didn’t.” He gestured to me to move. “We’ll roam around. I’ll assure you, we can see him.”

I did not speak. There was nothing I wanted to say plus I had no energy to open my mouth. Colden was the only one who was talking. He was nervous about the condition of Eira, but excited to see their child.

Something popped up inside my head. I did not see Fira when she was pregnant, I saw her, but that was at the distance. She was holding her bump while smiling radiantly. I felt warmth in my chest. We will have our second born baby and I will make sure to cherish them.

“What are you smiling at?” Colden’s forehead was furrow with the mixture of curiosity in his eyes.

I tapped his shoulder. “We’ll have another baby.”

“I know.” Colden shook his head. “You’re fantasizing. We must capture Carter first before we celebrate. He must be so livid to kill all of us, especially Fira.”

“Did you see how she fights for herself? I’m so proud of her.” I was preventing the small smile that was establishing into my lips. “You should teach Eira, too.”

“Don’t overestimate my girl.” He chin up as if he was being boastful, proud of her girl either.

Well, I can say that I did not know Eira that much. I was not talking to other girls. When I was with them, I was just silent. Not among them grab my interest.

We arrived at the Dungeon for a second of walking. I shook my head as I heard the different shout of people. If you were here, you would probably be out of mind. It was too dark and barren. Too bored as damn.

“Guards last checked him at 3 in the morning and probably disappeared at 6 in the morning.” Colden bright down to check the footsteps.

My eyes narrowed as I was thinking about the possibility. I joined him sitting with a bent knee and gazed at the broadness and size of the feet. “There’s someone who helped him. Damn.”

“Who’s the traitor?” Colden glanced at me with his sharp eyes.

“Perhaps not a traitor, but an unknown enemy.” I touched the soil. The feet were like a woman’s size. “It’s a girl.”

Suddenly, the voice of Cater kept repeating inside my head. He was speaking about someone who was alive. I had no idea who she was.

What the damn is happening to our world? We did not even do something wrong to the people. We were always considerate. I hope this reaches the end.

I was about to move up when I viewed the person at the window with bars, holding an archery. My eyes widened as he pointed it to us. “Move down!” I grabbed the head of Colden and pulled him down. We laid at the ground as the arrow was bathing the area. There were guards who were hit by it and also prisoners. We could not do anything except hide. We just waited for it to stop and when it did, Colden palmed the soil while gritting his teeth.

“Ice.” The formation of ice on the surface could be seen. “Follow the assassin.” The solid began to cover with ice, going to where the opponent was. Suddenly, it stopped moving, “Bastard!”

“Why? What’s happening?” I looked down at his hand who was now freezing.

“The enemy can block me.” The frustration was in his eyes.

I blew a sigh as I stood up, running towards where the ice formation went. It stopped behind the tree. I gazed up and then looked down. She or he might disappear.

Invisible wolf?

I could not move as that information went to my head. The power of an invisible wolf and a blockage. Who is the damn?

Colden stood next to me as he was observing around. The silence of the night was the only thing we could hear and the touch of the cold air. The dancing trees were visible.

“Is Janus alive?”

I stared at Colden with the surprise in my eyes, but never showed it in my expression. Even though that was a threat, I did not want to worry. Although he could pull Fira and Ember away from me with no fight. Effortless.

He can. He can because they are his. Fra is married to him and Ember loves him. \

“Why…is that in your mind?”

“This.” He showed me a roll of paper. I was shocked when I read what was written.

‘Hide and I will seek. What is mine is mine.’

My knee weakened. I gasped for air as my chest tightened. It must be him.

“But if this is Janus? Why would he help Carter? They are enemies?” Colden drew a possible period to the message. My mouth was sealed. I was composing myself together. I would not talk if it was just nonsense.

I stared at the paper for so long as I was messing with all the content of my head. This must not be Janus. Then who?

But if it is talking to property? IT could be Fira?

My world turned black as I perceived that Fira was alone inside the chamber. I could feel the overpumping of my chest when I ran as quickly as possible. I traveled back to the royal quarters. It was not so far, but the kingdom was too wide so it would take a minute of traveling.

“Summon Raiden and Hali!” I shouted to Colden as I was stepping faster.

Damn no! Not my Fira! She might be pregnant at the moment. No stress. No one will hurt her!

I ran and ran. I reminded all the guards that I was seeing at the hallway to be alert anytime. Carter was gone. I was like an air when I did everything that I could.

My knee dropped to the floor when Fira was sitting next to the bed while her back was leaning on the wall. She was bathing with blood.

“Dearest…”
