BXBX NOVEL Chapter 441 - Dark Mind
Back in the Dixon Palace, chaos took over the palace once again when Frenchies had taken Ayra in his arms inside the palace. People gasped muttering about how did she faint all of sudden. Everything was questionable but Frenchies had no time to answer their question.
He hurried upstairs to place her inside her bedroom and summoned Alexander first then later healers. Alexander rushed in hurry following him Elizabeth appeared with a pale face. His brows tightened in concern when he spotted Ayra unconscious and lying over the bed like a paralyzed body.
He didn't hesitate to shout at Frenchies who was the one to discover Ayra in this state,
" What happened to her? How did she faint?"
Frenchies shurgged before lowering his head down in guilt. Appearently he was in charge of this palace in absence of Cedric but he failed miserably. Not only the pup had gone missing,the queen had now fallen sick.
Frenchies replied after letting out a short sigh,
" I am really sorry. I wasn't there with her. She seemed to go out to look for the pup. When I reached over there, she passed out."
Alexander held his breath into his lungs to suppress his anger. Until now, his family believed that Ayra would be totally safe with Cedric. But it turned out like she wasn't even safe inside this palace. For someone powerful like her needed a lot more power to make her weaken or cause any harm. Alexander was sure that his sister wouldn't let anyone harm her so easily.
Then how did she faint?
Elizabeth's yelling voice brought him back to reality. Standing beside the bed edge, Elizabeth urged anxiously,
" What are you looking at her? Do something fast! Use your healing power."
Alexander nodded after thinking a while. Since the healers would take time to reach in this palace, he could use his own healing powers to wake her up. They came from same origins and shared many common powers.
Frenchies placed a chair beside Ayra's bed who looked peaceful as if she was in deep slumber sleep. Alexander sat down and took one of palm to connect their mind link. He attempted to use his healing power to pass into her body. Among the family members, Alexander had the most powerful and effective healing powers which others didn't had not even Ayra.
Their palms intertwined and Alexander closed his eyes to activate the process. Elizabeth kept looking down at Ayra anxiously. She was her best friend and partner in crime. Her heart ached watching her turning so pale and lifeless. Nothing can hurt more when you see that your best friend getting hurt and you can't do anything.
When everyone kept laying their eyes on Alexander in anticipation, Alexander was lost in a dark world. Whenever he tried to link their minds, an invisible wall pushed him away and she couldn't go into Ayra's mind. After several failure attempts of linking their minds, Alexander's eyes snapped open in confusion.
Feeling their eyes on him questioningly, Alexander replied after swallowing food thickly,
" I can't reach her."
Elizabeth growled pressing her lips together,
" What do you mean by that?"
Alexander reconfirmed looking down at Ayra suspiciously to notice anything usual,
" Her mind is trapped as if she is lost in another world. I couldn't reach her. Whenever I got closer, her mind was blank and dark."
Elizabeth gasped getting anxious for her best friend,
" What can we do now? Who can cure her?"
Frenchies became more anxious after the revelation. He thought that it was something simple but now everything became more complicated. Besides Cedric wasn't present in this moment.
Alexander didn't stop trying and continued pressing on his own powers to pass her but nothing worked out. Utterly hopeless, he suggested looking around to speak to Frenchies,
" I don't understand..but perhaps King Cedric might help her this time. He came from dark powers and I believe that if there is something really dark inside her mind, he can heal it."
Frenchies appeared more troubled. He informed carefully,
" Well... Actually the king is out of Palace."
Elizabeth intervened impatiently,
" Then call him to come back. Princess needs him now. I don't think that he has something important more than his wife. Where did he go?"
Frenchies hesitated before answering truthfully,
" Actually.. he..he hasn't told me anything before going out. I guess, he will be back tonight."
Alexander was furious after listening that Cedric wasn't available at that moment. He couldn't be blamed and his sister's strange sickness had raised his anger more badly. Alexander gnashed his teeth together before threatening,
" If anything goes wrong with my sister, she is coming back with me in Dalastia."
In the Resthouse Of Davina,
As the night fell deeper and deeper around, more people began to walk into the resthouse. The resthouse was appearently a night club in where people came to enjoy private time rather than renting it. Many prominent figures hired a room either for business deal or for having a one night stand. It was very common and usual in that resthouse. Morever they were capable of providing best wines along side hot girls which attracted the typical class of men the most.
It wasn't the first time that Shanz was stepping into this resthouse. Once in a while, he used this place to pleasure his manly needs though he had a big castle. He believed that change of environment excited him the most. Besides this place was quite secure than his own castle where people spied on him always. Being a Royal wasn't easy. No matter where you move, people stick their eyes on you. Some enjoyed it whereas the others felt suffocated.
Shanz entered into the resthouse with his usual cold aura. His face remained very cold always as if he didn't smile or laugh ever. Spotting the vip guest on the entrance, the old man who was the mastermind behind Jessie's abduction came in personally to greet the Prince,
" What an honor, Prince Shanz! Finally you have agreed to chat with us. Please come with us."
Shanz didn't show any respect to the man who was bowing repeatedly. He snorted frowning harder,
" Where is Mr. Benjamin? I don't remember coming at your request, Mr. Allen."
Shanz remembered this man named Mr. Allen. A few days back, he came to seek permission from Shanz for setting up an inn inside Davina's Capital. After final investigation, Shanz found out that people had several accusinations against this man. He used to force girls for working in his inn and if any of them refused, he used to torture them until they agreed. Morever he had hands with few bad figures who always worked against the rules of DAVINA's kingdom. Thus Shanz refused to give him permission and banned him from coming into his castle anymore.
But Mr. Allen seemed more persistent than he expected. Yesterday he received a call from Mr. Benjamin who was a state magistrate and requested him many times to accept his invitation in this resthouse. Shanz had no idea that Mr. Allen was related to Mr. Benjamin somehow. He had a respect towards Mr. Benjamin which was why he accepted the invitation without any hesitation.
Mr. Allen appeared a bit embarrassed but later replied hiding behind his malicious smile,
" Benjamin is my cousin, Your Highness. We are actually very close. I hope that you don't mind if I join you two."
Shanz shot him a cold glare without arguing anymore. Since he was here, there was no point of going back. He wanted to see what was going inside Mr. Allen's mind.
Following his lead, Shanz with his new butler had come upstairs inside a room. No one knew what happened with his previous butler. From one night, he went missing and no one knew what happened with him till now.
The room was decorated exaggeratingly. A table was set in front of the couch with all those expensive wines and barbecues that caught Shanz's attention. Mr. Benjamin was already sitting there with a smile and stood up to greet Shanz who was trying to figure out the entire situation.
Mr. Benjamin welcomed him warmly and led him to sit down before serving Shanz a glass of wine. Mr. Benjamin talked first with a smile as he continued pouring down his whisky,
" I hope, I didn't bother you, Prince Shanz. Allen is my cousin and we hope to have a nice conversation with you today."
Shanz gulped his wine before talking with a smirk,
" Depends on what you speak, Mr. Benjamin.I must tell you in advance that I am having a bad mood today."
It was enough to wipe away Mr. Benjamin's smile. He knew how Shanz was or what he could do single handedly to him here. Mr. Allen interrupted with a crooked smile,
" This is the reason, we have already prepared to boost up your mood, Your Highness. We have the best beauty in our hands for you. Would you like to catch up with her before we have our own conversation? I bet that she won't dissapoint you."
Shanz laughed leaning over his elbows forward lazily,
" There is no woman in this world who can satisfy me, Mr. Allen. I suggest you to withdraw your proposal and spill out what you want from me exactly."
Mr. Allen knew to make a perfect deal. He knew that if he could satisfy Shanz in another way, there was high chance of getting his approval for the inn easily. Right now, it wasn't the right time to mention his topic.
Mr. Allen insisted pointing at the other door opposite of them mischievously,
" Why don't you take a look at her and say? Perhaps you may regret later if you let go of this chance."
Shanz looked suspicious over his words.
Why was Mr. Allen looking so confident? There was no girl in this world that could calm down his aching heart except her.... but she was all a memory now..
