Chapter 80 FIRA'S FATHER

PYRO'S POV

I did not move or say anything. It was not good for me and Fira, but this was my destiny. A king's duty and responsibility.

My brothers stared at me with worry in their eyes. I kept my mouth when my father tapped my shoulder. “You’ve got a good choice. My son is kind and smart, too. He is a great fighter. Congratulations.”

I stared at her face and then burst a word in a low tone. “Why?”

“I just feel like it’s you.”

I shut my mouth again. I just bowed my head. “My pleasure, your majesty.”

Even if I did not want to. I had no choice. A king is always a king. In his mouth, action and

rules. I should obey the terms of the Elemental Kingdom.

When my eyes met Zephyrus he was looking at me with annoyance in his face. I was not sure what made him annoyed. Then I realized he was one of Fira’s friends. Maybe he was thinking about her. Fira knew about being a king. She would not be shocked if the news went to her.

“Is that okay to you, King Patricio and Queen Fiona, that Pyro would take the court next week? There’s some preparation that he needs to do,” King Arealdo said.

“No problem, your highness,” King Patricio answered.

“Anyway, We’re going to guide you to the Dungeon where the people sinned are located.” King Arealdo offered his hand to the Princess. “I heard that Princess Ziraya loves to see the Dungeon, checking the criminal.”

“Yes. She is so curious how they do such a thing so that would be a good experience for her,” King Patrcio answered.

King Arealdo gazed at me as if he was trying to say what should I do to the Princess? I stared back at him before I offered my hand on the Princess. She was grinning from ear to ear when she grabbed my hand and wrapped it into my upper arm, acting like cuddling which made me awkward.

How’s Fira anyway? I want to go back to her.

“It seems like you’re thinking deeply?” She pinched my upper arm.

I sealed my mouth. I did not want to talk with strangers. But she would not be a stranger after a week. Courting days are waving and that would be difficult for me.

Difficult for Fira.

I had no idea why I was thinking about her and her feelings. When I was young, I was just thinking of marrying whoever chose to be my queen. I was not minding loving someone. Or even crazily fall in love with a woman. I admitted to myself that Fira attracts me.

She's the first.

Do I love her? Or like her? Then why the damn I was kissing her? Why can't I take one day of not seeing her? Why was I livid to know that he has a crush on Janus?

Speaking of Janus, I was looking for him. I left him at the riverside during the day of our challenge. I ran to call the doctor, but when I came back he was not there. I had no idea who got him or where he went. He was not breathing that time.

I got back to my senses when I heard the explanation of King Arealdo. There were humans that were caught trespassing at the Elemental Kingdom. They would be jailed here until they died. That was not too harsh because the other kingdom was hanging them at the tree after seeing their ground.

“King Pyro, have you remembered me?” Suddenly the Princess brought our childhood. “I always wanted to play with you when we were young, but you don’t like to be friends with me.”

I just looked at her and then went back straight to the front. The Brave Wolves Kingdom was near the Fire Pack, that was why she was always seeing me there, but I used to ignore her. My father would just kill whoever my friend was. I was not glimpsing on her because I was thinking that she was just an ordinary wolf. Only to find out that she was a Princess.

“Until now you’re snobbing me? You’re rude.” She was pouting her lips while stomping hardly at the ground, walking with her hips swaying. The royal was in her action.

“I’m sorry, Princess. You need to try hard to make him talk so if I were you. Find a king in a different kingdom.” Zephyrus was murmuring softly, being careful not to hear from our father.

“Really? Honestly, I want a king like him. Whatever you say...still my king would be Pyro.”

“Good luck then,” Hali said while raising his two eyebrows and folding his arms on his chest.

They were trying their best to make her change her mind. I would not do the same thing because I was aware of the culture of the Elemental Kingdom, marrying the Princess of the Brave Wolves Kingdom also means alliance. Making the Kingdom strong and free from attacking other invaders.

We walked to the Dungeon, seeing the sinners. Sometimes I was pitying them because they only gave them food once in a day. They should save it for the whole day. The clothes were just thin and dirty. It was dark here and there was no water. No things that would make them do except lying, rolling and looking at the steel. The compartment was also small. If I were them, I lose my sanity with just a week of staying,

“These rows are the thieves section. They are wolves that steal from the kingdom. One of these are him.” King Arealdo pointed at the man who was lying on the floor. His white shirt was dirty. I could smell the bad scent of him.

“What did he steal?” Princess Ziraya became interested.

“The crown. He wants it because it’s gold. He was also a miner before.” King Arealdo explained. They moved closer to the railings.

“You should cut his hands, King Arealdo.” The Princess suggested.

Now, I knew why she wanted to be in Dungeon. That was because she liked torturing the sinners.

“What’s his name? He looks familiar.” Raiden observed the man’s back. The man faced us with his sad expression.

I was stuck to where I was standing when I saw his face. He looks like…

My body could not move when I heard what my father said.

“Eyrom.”
