Chapter 93 WE WILL DIE HERE

FIRA’S POV

I went to the MIning Area when King Arealdo summoned King Fire.

“Hi! Did Janus come to work?” I was asking them one by one, but they did not know where he was. I was worrying about him. Perhaps something happened.

I was also looking for my sister, Eira. It was a relief when one of the guards said that she was at King Ice’s room. That was a disaster if King Arealdo found out. But before I went to her, I walked to the woods to go to Janus’ House. I made sure that I would not encounter Carter and the Rainbow Sisters again.

When I arrived, I grabbed plenty of air before I knocked on the door. “Janus? Are you there? It’s me Fira.” I hit the door smoothly over and over again, but no one was answering. “Janus?”

I tried to push the door slightly. I was surprised when it opened.

The door is not locked? How come?

Dread my whole system. I ran towards the sofa, but no one was there. “Janus!” I went to the sleeping room, bathroom, and kitchen. I walked all over his small house, but I did not see even the shadow of Janus. I pulled my hair in frustration.

What is happening to you? Where are you? Are you okay?

My mind was full of worriedness. For my father, Janus, my sister. The world was messed up and I did not know how to deal with it. I glanced around, trying to look for possible clues. I went to his room and saw that there was a stain of blood on the wooden bed.

“Crap!” The nervousness crawled all over my chest. I brought down my knee and I had no idea why I peeped under the bed. I covered my mouth when I saw the shirt full of blood. It seemed that it hid here.

“Janus!” I screamed so loud, looking around and walking back and forth. “This can’t be!” I sat on the floor with my knee folded, covered my face and started to sob. “What was happening! Where are you! Please tell me!” I was screaming as if he could answer me. I would never forgive myself if something bad happened to him. He was a kind man and he did not deserve this kind of crap.

I stayed at the house for about a minute, waiting for him. No one arrived, that was why I went back to the Elemental Kingdom. I directly walked towards King Ice’s room. I was about to knock when the guards held my arm. “King Ice is resting. come back at another time.”

“Is there someone inside except for him?”

The guards looked away. It seemed that this one was King Ice’s loyal guard like Seryo for King Fire.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. I’m Eira’s sister.”

He nodded at me. He was the one who initiated the knocking on the door. It opened immediately. My heart ached as I saw my sister lying on the bed in a side position. I was sure that she was suffering from pain because of the slashes that she got.

“Eira…” I held her hand and stared at her face. I was preventing myself from crying. Things were so difficult. What I only felt was sadness and pain. My eyes were tired of crying. The only good thing that had happened was the night with my king.

“I suggest don’t wake her up because she will just cry.” King Ice was sitting on the white sofa with his two thighs crossed. The cup of tea was on his lips, sipping it.

I nodded. The repeated stab was hitting my heart at the sight. Her white robe was full of red liquid even in her dream she was wincing. We never used to whipping. When my mother was alive she was always telling us not to disobey the rules of the kingdom to avoid punishment.

I just stared at her, holding her hand and trying to pull myself together not to burst out in tears. I had no liquid in my eyes, I was drained.

“Where is my father, your majesty?” I leaned my chin on the bed, still gazing at Eira while talking to Colden.

“He’s…” He sipped tea before talking. “At the King chamber.”

King Ice seemed unaffected by all the things that were happening. There was no emotion, but only a kindness on his face. He even grabbed a hot tea and sat there. But who knows what he was dealing with? I was not here to judge him again because Eira, of all people, knew him from face to toe.

“What is he doing at the King Chamber?” I asked him even though the images of his suffering were already in my head. I was trying all my best not to cry.

Don’t cry, Fira. Do not

But this traitor liquid rolled to the side of my face. I could not handle the pain anymore. If only Mom was here, we would not be like this.

“Apology, Fira.” That was the only answer of King Ice. He was doin the task of Slavery. I was sure of that. They would not treat him as a human.

I did not talk. I just sniffed the mucus to my nose and sobbed silently.

If only I could bring back the time, I would choose to be in the city when our father suggested that we live peacefully there.

Me and Eira were in the room folding the clothes. It was night when we heard our parents' arrival. We immediately ran towards them and kissed them as a greeting.

“Oh, my beautiful ladies!” Father grabbed Eira and my shoulder.

"Where is my kiss!" Mom was pouting.

We immediately gave her a small kiss on the cheek and then walked to the kitchen. Our life was just ordinary, but the happiness was overflowing.

We ate while conversing about the laws of the kingdom when suddenly Dad spoke.

"What do you think of leaving the Elemental Kingdom?" Dad was smiling so widely as he looked at Mom.

For me, it would be better because I was bullied by the Rainbow Sisters. They would never leave me when they were still seeing me alive.

"Eyrom, Elemental Kingdom is our home." Mom's tone of voice was soft and sweet.

"But can we live in the city peacefully?" Father grabbed a glass of water and drank it.

"Dad, I don't want to be in the city. What if they saw me on my Eighteenth Birthday turning into a wolf?" Eira immediately protested because her birthday was arriving even though there was no full moon, we were hoping that she could meet her wolf.

"Rawr!" I was kidding Eira when I acted wolf in front of them. The reason why they laughed.

"Listen...Elemental Kingdom is not what we think. We are depending on the king and on the Future Kings. If they die, what will happen to us?" Dad was pushing the decision of migrating.

But Mom said, "We'll not leave the Kingdom. We were born here. We will die here."
