Chapter 25 HERMENES
In the vampire realm, king Giyaza and Greg chatted on and on and Faren was grateful that his father’s attention wasn’t on him yet.
Why did Alexa walk in at that moment and ruin his entire plan?!
He was so close to having the ‘Ring of authority’
“Son, you are awfully quiet today. Aren’t we supposed to be celebrating?” King Giyaza said to Faren suddenly startling him.
“Hmm? O-Oh, you are right”Faren stuttered as Marisol shook her head in pity for her brother.
“So when is the wedding?”king Giyaza asked with his eyes shining ever so brightly.
Greg turned to face Faren with a smile”You are getting married? Congratulations, brother-in-law”
Faren smiled through clenched teeths clearly unsettled”Thank you” he turned to king Giyaza” let’s not talk about that now, father.” He shifted his gaze to Greg as he continued “Your long lost son-in-law just came home. We’ll discuss about it later”
King Giyaza chuckled low and deep”You are right”
Greg turned to face his wife”Is something troubling you? You look rather pale”
Marisol shook her head”I’m fine. How’s the food?”
Greg smiled”Delicious as always. I’ve missed your cooking”
Faren excused himself from the dining as he ran up to the bathroom upstairs and angrily punched the mirror on the wall.
“What am I going to do now?”Tears brimmed from his eyes”This was my only chance of being loved by father”
“Why is nothing working my way. WHY!???”he shouted
“Stop shouting unless you want father to know something is wrong” a voice said from behind him.
Faren wiped his tears as he turned around to see Marisol standing by the door.
“Why are you crying like a child? Have you given up already?”
“What do you expect me to do?”
Marisol scoffed”You claim to so desperately want to become the “most powerful creature of Ava land “but you can’t come up with a plan to kidnap a mere girl?”
Faren’s eyes shined brightly”Kidnap? But I never said anything about kidnapping anyone”
Marisol folded her arms as she smirked”Exactly. I just gave you an idea”
“I’ve tried that before, though. It’s not going to work”
“That’s why I’m willing to help you this time, my dear brother”
“Me? Why?”
Marisol shrugged”Just because. I’m really fascinated to know what’s so special about this girl that even lord Damien was about giving up his ‘Ring of authority’ for her ”
Marisol looked at Faren’s hand”You are a bleeding. Dress that up before you come back downstairs”
Marisol then turned around and headed back downstairs.
Greg could see a change in her moke as she rejoined them back in the dinning table.
“You look better, honey”
Marisol smiled”I’m feeling better. Are you staying here for long?”
“I would love to but I can’t. I’m needed back at my post tomorrow.” Greg turned to face king Giyaza”I fear I would have to be on my way back this evening, father”
King Giyaza smiled”It’s okay. You are working so hard to protect our realm. I understand”
After their meal, Marisol looked at the wall clock as she gasped.
“It’s late already, father. Greg has to start leaving now if he doesn’t want to be late”
King Giyaza’s eyes widened”That’s true. It’s 5 hours back to the military ground”
Greg wiped his mouth as he stood up”Thank you for inviting me over, father” he turned to face Marisol as he placed a light peck on her cheeks”And thank you for the wonderful meal”
Marisol took Greg by his arms”I’ll see him out, father”
As king Giyaza watched their retreating backs, he couldn’t stop smiling.
He was happy that his daughter was having an happily married life and his son was about to make him proud.
Speaking of his son, he glanced around”Where is Faren?”
As Marisol and Greg walked out of the realm, they forced a smile at eachother.
“I take it that father still thinks we are married, right?”Greg asked
“Yes”
“You have to tell him the truth”
“Why?”
“Because I can’t keep making these long trips anymore”
Marisol removed her hands from Greg’s arms”I refuse”
“What?”
“Father is happy whenever he sees you. He’s proud of me because of you and I don’t intend for that to stop”
Grey grumbled in frustration”This is exactly why we got divorced. All you and your brother care about is pleasing your father instead of living your life as you dim fit”
Marisol grabbed Greg by his collar”Don’t say that again!”
She pushed him aside”Go or else you’ll be late”
Meanwhile with a subconscious headay, Laura paced to and fro in her room.
Lord Damien had refused to give his blessings upon Faren and Alexa’s wedding and what’s more, he had denied her favor.
He’d killed two birds with one stone.
What were they to do now?. A sudden knock in her door interrupted her thoughts.
“Come in” she said as Daisy and Raquel walked in.
Daisy and Raquel were junior witches in respect to Laura.
They’d always watched Laura out of awe and respect as Laura was a ‘ senior examplary witch’.
She’d always blast the ‘Witches’ weekly exam’ and she was also very powerful- well although she was second or fifth place to Ms. Agatha-
In the eyes of the junior witches who adores her so deeply to their core, there was not a single thing she couldn’t do .
“What is it?”Laura asked.
“Uh, we’d noticed that there’s been something troubling you. Would you like to share? Who knows you might feel bet-?”Daisy stuttered
Laura scoffed. What exactly made these girls think they could talk to her let alone comfort her?.
“No, I wouldn’t like to share so please can you leave me alone?”Laura said as she turned her back on them.
Their plan had gone down the drain and lord Damien had said that he’d never wanted to see her again. So what could she do?
“Let’s go” Raquel said dragging Daisy along with her.
“Wait!”Laura called out at the girls as they halted on their tracks”Well, there is something you girls can do for me. Will you help me?”
Daisy nodded her head hastily smiling from ear to ear”Yes, we would”.
She was pleased that she could help her ‘role model’ out.
Whatever it was, she wouldn’t ask as long as it was going to bring a smile upon Laura’s face.
Laura smiled”Thank you so much and what’s your name?”
“Daisy”
Laura patted Daisy’s head as she looked towards Raquel”And yours?”
“Raquel”
“Thank you so much, Daisy and Raquel. I promise to make it up to you”
“So how can we be of help, my lady?”Daisy asked.
In the Angel’s realm, Josty, Celine’s and Karina got engulfed in an argument.
“I think there’s something wrong with your head” Celine said to Karina”How can you think Eren is the most handsome werewolf in Ava land”
“Exactly my point!”Josty squealed as she gave Celine a high-five” I mean, even Warren still lives and breathes”
“Ooohhh” Karina teased” Warren, huh?”
Josty threw up her hand in defense”What? You all don’t see it too? Back me up here, Alexa”
Karina looked around”Where is Alexa?”
Celine sighed as she looked up at the roof”Dear goddess, let her not get herself into trouble”
“I hear trouble. Who are we talking about?”a deep voice said startling the girls and making them turn towards the door.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Standing claded in a brown shirt and white trousers was Hermenes.
Hermenes was Alexa’s older brother.
“Oh my gosh”The girls squealed as they rushed to hug him.
“When did you get back?”
“How was Amsterdam?”
“Why didn’t you tell us that you were coming?”
The girls bombarded Hermenes with lots of questions that got him chuckling.
“I wanted to surprise Alexa but I see she isn’t here. Where is she?”Hermenes asked looking around .
“Well, we don’t-“.
The long hairs at the back of Hermenes hand grew as he rushed outside.
He saw a woman raising up her hand to hit Alexa and he impulsively held her hands.
“If I were you” Hermenes said grabbing her hands with so much force as he could feel his blood boil”I’d keep my hands to myself”

A/N: well, if it means getting my hands held by Hermenes, if I were Gezelle, I would be singing ” can’t keep my hands to myself”
