Chapter 666
His face became firm and grim.
His beautiful blue skin glimmering in the sun and his perfectly muscled chest.
As a siren, he had no shirt on, his tail wasn’t blue but as gold as his trident but his right hand.
His hair was fire blonde as it had always been and he had the most beautiful blonde lashes.
His beautiful onyx eye glowed in the most beautiful way ever.
He still looked the same as ever.
They had been friends.
Very good friends, but unfortunately she had ruined everything when she had pointed a finger accusing the of stealing her daughter.
Only to find out years later that was never the case.
“And I will care to remind you that neither do I.” He said grimly. “Moreover, between us, you were the one who began hurling threats.”
Rose took in a very deep breath as she shut her eyes.
By the time she had opened them, she had gathered enough strength to talk to him.
“I’m sorry Corallos.” She apologized in a quiet and submissive way. “I didn’t mean to insult you. If you could-
“To hell with the pleasantries.” He growled sternly. “You are the one who caused the rift between our kingdoms and last night you dared break it.”
Rose didn’t know how to get out of this one.
He was right.
It had been her fault!
He had been her friend and she had been so blinded by grief that she accused him and his people of taking her daughter.
Only to find out years later her own daughter had pushed her twin sister off board in a bid to kill her.
Now she had gone back to him begging.
To appease him, even offer him her territory.
He wanted nothing.
She could remember the message he had sent to his subordinates.
“His Majesty has demanded that all ties shall remain severed and this is a warning to you and your people that if you ever attempt to cross into our territory, six deaths would befall you.” They had told her.
Then he hadn’t even given her the grace to see him.
He had sent his minions to her.
And now he had come here himself.
Alone.
He was so furious with her that he had personally come to warn her and hopefully not do more.
Did she blame him?
No.
She was the one who had ruined their friendship and now she was paying dearly for it.
And then it hit her.
He had said last night.
“Did you say last night?” She blinked in disbelief.
“Now you’re feigning surprise?” He stamped his trident on the ground.
The ground shook and Rose looked at his angry face.
“All of a sudden you’ve forgotten!” He snarled.
She shook her head. “Corallos, look you’re-
“Your majesty.” He corrected her.
She blinked in disbelief.
But he didn’t seem to be joking.
She sighed and said. “Your majesty. I assure you that we have no one going past your boundaries. No one has gone that way ever since we went our separate ways.”
“So the two trespassers you sent down there magically came from where?” He cocked his head to the direction of where the sea was. “No one came come or pass through those boundaries unless coming from your pack. And it can not be an outsider because your place is heavily guarded. Am I wrong?”
And the Rose’s brain slowly processed.
Two trespassers?
Her heart leaped.
“Did you see them?” She asked him. “Did your people at least happen to see who they are.”
His face was overcome with disgust at her own sudden interest. “That does not concern you.”
And then fear gripped her heart.
Had he taken them hostage? And killed them as retribution for crossing his own territory?
Her shoulders trembled in terror.
“Please it’s my grand daughter.” She begged aloud.
He ignored her and she fell to his tail and lay her hands on the floor.
“Your majesty.” She heard her wolves say in alarm.
She ignored them. “I was wrong. Please. I beg of you. I should have never accused you falsely. She is all I have right now. That’s my grand daughter. Take me instead of her please just let her go.”
She was looking down at the grass unable to raise her head up as she begged him for mercy.
“You remember the agreement we made?” He asked in a stoke cold voice.
It was only then Rose slowly rose her head up.
She looked at him and he didn’t seem to be moved or care the slightest about her show of submission.
“If someone trespassed into another’s territory, then six of their people would die?” He asked her.
Rose looked at him in horror.
And then in the manner of seconds, she heard a thud.
She looked back and saw that some people had dropped to the floor dead.
The wolves around hurried to help them up.
When one’s body was lifted up, she saw that he looked like he didn’t have a single bit of blood.
And it hit her.
Corallos, had sucked all the water out of their system until they had become emancipated and dropped dead.
She looked back up at him.
He looked terrifying.
“Stay away from my people.” He warned her.
“Or the consequences next time would be more dire.”
And in a matter of seconds a wave of water came around him.
The guards helped her up to her feet and tried to avoid the water.
They shifted into their wolves but he had already vanished.
The wave of water that had enveloped him was left behind and splashed down on the floor.
Rose was breathing hard now.
The wolves came to her assistance.
“Your majesty are you okay?” They asked.
Her hair was damp wet from the water that had splashed on her.
She looked at the dead bodies that were being carried.
Her castle was on fire.
Her mind was on fire.
She was definitely not okay.
