🤹 iCe Prince Chapter Twenty Four:
The Journey Of No Return 🧡
At noon the next day, Lothaire set out after calming the heart of Heaven.
But although Heaven claimed to be calm, she wasn’t. She tried to shake off the feeling, but couldn’t.
“Lady Heaven. You have a guest”! Sam one of Lothaire’s soldier who was set to assist her, said.
Heaven silently walked to the receiving room. She stared at the guest, and surprise flashed through her eyes.
“Sir Jerome should I be happy that you cam to visit me just after my fiancee left”? Heaven asked in a slightly unfriendly tone.
” You don’t have to read to much meaning into it”. Jerome smiled. He found out that he liked this Lady.
Maybe it’s because she has influence on the second Prince or maybe it is genuine. He wasn’t sure about that but he was sure he liked her.
“Don’t make me laugh Sir Jerome. I don’t have the energy to read books not to talk of meanings.” Heaven snickered. She could sense that this man is not as gentle and kind as he portrays himself to be.
“Well I was thinking if you would have time to walk with me. I came to Zenin city for some business and I decided to take a stroll round the place”. Jerome hid his ambitious gaze, and smiled calmly.
” Too bad then. Although I’ve stayed her for 3 weeks I can tell you that I haven’t been to much place apart from here and the market…. And I won’t love to revisit the market. But since you asked kindly I could lend you a guard to take you”. Heaven spoke in dismissal.
She suddenly felt weak and wanted to lay on the bed without moving a finger.
“Oh.. but the guard can also walk with us around it must not necessarily be the market”. Jerome pressed.
He was determined to befriend Heaven. Maybe when he becomes the Duke, he can take her in as his Duchess. But first he needed the powerful force of Lothaire but the man didn’t seem to be interested in him.
Heaven felt uncomfortable with the way he kept pushing. “Maybe some other time sir Jerome. I’m really tired and want to have some rest”.
What Heaven said was true because before Lothaire left, he made sure to have her to his fill.
“Okay if that’s the case, I won’t disturb my Lady. But I hope to take a walk with you soon”! Jerome sighed, and bowed before walking away.
Heaven walked to Lothaire’s room without looking back. ‘She needed to take a nap’.
.....
Lothaire drummed with his slender fingers as his mind wandered to a certain little Lady.
“Estan look into the most powerful magician or witch in north district “. He said to Estaevan who was driving the carriage.
” Yes Master “. Although he was confused as to why his Master was interested in magic, he still complied.
‘The north district is the second closest City to Zenin, with Zelda being the first. It takes about 4 hours from the central Zenin to North district. But it was a hidden city, surrounded by thick forest and that makes it the target for corruption’.
“Master we’ve entered the North district border but the road ahead can only be journeyed by foot”. Estaevan stared at his master worriedly.
Lothaire came down from the carriage, and walked with his hands behind him.
They walked for some time and finally got to their first destination.
“Look who came here”? Warlord said.
He is the ruler of the North district and the person that has been disturbing Lothaire.
“You put in so much effort to make me come here. Surely what you want from me must be very important”. Lothaire spoke leisurely, and he sat on the chair before him.
“You could at least wait for me to invite you to sit”. The warlord snickered.
” When I’m the one doing you the favour, I call the shots”! Lothaire smirked and stared at him with disinterest.
“Well you are in my territory. And in here, I call the shot”. Warlord Kingston said.
“You should know that I make anywhere I step into my territory. After all that’s one of the abilities of a business man”. Lothaire spoke lazily
“You’re still using this cover of business man to do the illegal stuffs you do don’t you”? Kingston said with a knowing smile.
“Well a little corrüption is not so bad is it”? Lothaire asked .
Estaevan just kept staring at them one after another. Not understanding what they were bickering about.
‘What illegal business”? What is his boss’ relationship with this man’? With the way they spoke to each other, Estaevan was sure that this is not their first time meeting. …. But when he talked about north district his Master…
“I’m curious though! I heard you found yourself a little fiancee. Does she know about your shady lifestyle”? Kingston had a smug smile on his face when he saw Lothaire frowning.
” You are probing too much into my affairs should I be grateful for your concern”? Lothaire spoke calmly.
” You still have that attitude of yours”. The Warlord said with a knowing smile.
” And you still have that betrayal skill of your’s “! Lothaire was not stupid. If it was for business, this man before him would be agitated to complete it but he kept drawling the conversation.
“As usual nothing can escape your smart eye”…. ‘Brother’! Kingston smiled slyly.
” You should know that both now and then, you are still no match for me”? Lothaire spoke lightly.
” Don’t be so sure. And even if I can’t defeat you, your downfall is set for today”! Kingston smiled happily and brought out the north district signature five thorns dagger.
‘ As the name implies, the dagger has five tin and long thorns imbedded in it and those thorns are filled with metallic poison. So if the dagger isn’t deep enough to kill a person, the poison can help’.
Lothaire stared at the dagger with disinterest.
“Master….” Estaevan called in concern.
” You stay were you are, you are no match against him”. Lothaire said to Estaevan.
Kingston who saw him distracted, charged at him with the dagger.
Lothaire wasn’t fazed even when he noticed the change of air around him. He simply froze the dagger when it was about to touch him.
“You should learn from your many defeat all these years that weapons are nothing against me”. Lothaire lectured.
“Well not the weapon but this…” Kingston sprayed a powder right on Lothaire’s masked face, while letting some extend to where Estaevan was.
“Like you said, I’ve learnt my lesson and I found a better way to deal with you”. He snickered.
Lothaire remained silent as he tried to decipher the kind of powder that he sprayed on him.
Meanwhile Estaevan passed out. Without much resistance.
Lothaire frowned when he felt the abnormality in his body.
” I admire you Sill. You can still remain calm even in disadvantage “. Kingston spoke with reverence.
” Who are you working for “? Lothaire asked.
” More like working with”! Kingston said in annoyance.
” You don’t have the ability to work with someone. Your brains aren’t so calculative as to create a plan so you simply do as you are told”. Lothaire mocked.
He already knew that he can do nothing else as the powder rendered him immobile. He guesses that it had to do with the woman that Heaven suspected layed the cürse on him.
“As expected from the mighty Thunder. You are impressive. You even had the strength to make a spell which was supposed to devour your soul, to devour the soul of the spell creator”. A soft and mellowed voice said.
Gentle footsteps clicked against the marble floor as a gentle looking lady walked into the building.
“So you or maybe your mother is the one who layed the cürse on me”? Lothaire snickered just before he would go to task two, it came to him.
“Well… Nice to meet you too”! The lady produced a brilliant smile.
“I would like to invite this lord to my humble abode”. She said again.
“It feels more like forcing than inviting”. Lothaire snorted. His only regret is that he would be the reason for his little wife’s worry.
The lady chanted a mysterious spell and Lothaire fainted “…..
