Chapter 9 - 9 Shock

The next morning Levyndrion was walking by the corridors after having breakfast with the royal family, Audrey didn't show up, Queen Ella ordered her food to be sent to her bedroom, she explained to him that this wasn't a first time she haven't showed up at the breakfast and that it was a normal thing. His legs came to halt to see the one person that have been occupying his mind and thoughts walking to his direction, a faint smile on her beautiful face, she stopped when she was standing before him , "Good morning Princy " she waved her hand at him , he couldn't help but smile back at her "Good morning Rey, .... are you okay?" he feigned concern , he feared that she was behaving like that out of shock for seeing him at his worst last night.

A part of him wished it isn't because of him, but then it was true that she was shocked , she wanted sometime to school her thoughts and her heart and she finally did, she kept the fact that he is a monster behind and just took him as his cousin who was a helpless for being a monster .

"Aaaah! is it because of my absence earlier?" she questioned, he gave her a nod with his sparkling eyes, Audrey smiled curtly, just how could those wonderful eyes become so dark and scary? "I'm perfectly fine Levy, get over it" she flashed him a reassuring smile and walked past him, "Hey Rey! about yesterday!" he blurted turning to follow her , she halted gasping, praying every prayer for him not to ask about yesterday's event .... but here he was .... bringing back the matter that she worked so hard to burry it in her chest.

"You said we would talk about it, I still can't remember anything you know ...." he said standing one step away from her, his eyes locking with hers intently, he wanted to test her out , she didn't waver but clutched her dress at her back "Oh yes! so what happened yesterday was..... I waited for you for quite sometime but you never came , I suddenly heard a scream in the woods and ran to take a look , do you know what I saw then?" she probed with excitement, "What?" his heart was thumping

Thump .....

Thump ....

Thump ....

"I saw a Crown Prince ..... laying down unconscious, I guess the horse got annoyed by him that's why it ran away after dropping you down" she bursted into laughter, he stayed silent foe awhile stunned by her made up story, she got a talent! 'Acting like she didn't see me? Great!' he wondered how could there mind want the same thing about the matter. "One more thing... I think you hurt your shoulder ... you were bleeding, how are you doing?" she extended her hand to touch him with concern, he snapped quickly and touched his shoulder before she could reach it . He absolutely hurt his forehead so what was she doing asking up a pure lie? . Nevertheless he was going to keep up with her act , if this is her way if telling her that she saw him but then she would act like she doesn't then he would help her out. "It still hurts a bit but I can handle it" he smiled at her "Thank you for your concern "

Audrey retrieved her hand that was midair and faked a smile, she knew exactly where he was hurt she also wanted to test him out if he remembered everything and test passed, he took the bait without his knowledge, 'He must have his own reasons that's why he want me to forget the matter ' she convinced herself within her so that she could stop probing further. "I'm happy to hear, now if you'll excuse me Prince, I still have to go and greet Mama and Papa " she smiled at him before walking away, "Ofcourse " he said, her smile fell the moment she turned her back on him , "If this is what you want Levy .... then I will keep your little secret safe with me" she mumbled taking a turn at at end of the corridor .

Levy went on his way too, he was grateful with how the matter came to or else ... if Rey was to be scared of him he didn't know whatbhe would've done. But this was good not just to him but for the both of them.

"Mama, Papa" she ran to jug her mother first with a peck on her cheek then to her father's embrace, the Oldman opened his hands wide for her "Mmmm .... Papa must be in a good mood today " she teased "Yes my warrior Princess, I'm very happy today " he laughed heartily making Audrey pull away and stare at him "So what's the occasion?" her puppy eyes pleading with him . "Well .. well... well.... your brother was able to crush down the barbarians at the border he slashed everyone of them, I'm so proud of him!" he said with so much confidence and pride .

"Tsk tsk ... What's so joyous than for him to be safe and sound?" said Queen shooking her head, her husband was happy that their enemies were finally killed after two years of Phelipe guarding the borders with his man, she was happy too, but what made her even happy was that her son was not hurt, but is still healthy and kicking what more could a mother ask for then for their children's safety?.

"My brother Phelipe is the best Mama, so stop worrying about her safety like an old grandma!" she shouted making both of her parents laugh, "You!" scolded Queen Ella.

When all of this was taking place at the Royal garden ..... Levy was watching form afar admiring the happy family before him, he wished he could have meet this so called Phelipe and maybe they could be good friends.

He wished his father was here too, shortly two pairs of shoes came into his eyes as he lowers his head down "What is it Vincy?" he said not bothered to even turn and look at him, Vincy was panting "I received an important letter form Ximpton for you my Prince " he extended his hands handing over the letter, Levy's eyes creased , what could it be? he opened it and the next two minutes he staggered back only to hold by Vincy "What is it my Prince?" he was frightened by the sudden horror on his face , "NO! mother! mother! .... she was poisoned!" he blurted tears forming on its eyes, he rashly ran to his room.

Vincy had to go and inform the King about the matter, he was double times shocked than how Levy was to hear his beloved sister was poisoned, "What!? are you sure about it young man?" his voice held continous emotions, Vincy gave him the letter wich was had a Ximpton seal on it.

Kong Jeremy's eyes watered as he clenched his fists, Queen Ella and Audrey were shocked as well. After a short while Levyndrion came to them , his face visibly down, he was hurt! and shocked ! at same time, the tears that kept rolling down his cheeks says it all. "I gave to uncle mother..... my mother she ....." he couldn't finish his words he bursted into tears, King Jeremy embraced him tightly "I understand son, but one thing... you have to be strong right now! God forbid but if anything happens you may have to be crowned as a King, I want to be strong then and always make good decisions " he said patting his back , he pulled away and gave him a nod , he couldn't even know what to say, he turned to look at Queen Ella and Audrey for the last time who were sobbing together before he entered the carriage and the coachman rode away.

Audrey who was sobbing couldn't hold it in any longer and broke down in her mother's arms "Mama .... what will happen to Levyndrion now?" Queen was speechless and just held her daughter as she she'd tears .King Jeremy moved and hugged both of them , he patted Audrey's head "Shhh .... my dear everything is gonna be alright, nothing will happen to any of them" he said to calm down his daughter but even he wasn't aware of what would happen next, infact anything could happen cause seemd to want the Queen dead, he just hopped Levy would be able to handle it at such age , all alone! a single tear rolled down his cheek.

Levyndrion wished the carriage could grow wings so they just fly to his kingdom "Can't you go much faster!!" he horsed, streams of tears on his red face . Vuncy could only stay quite and pray that nothing happens to the Queen, cause without the Queen this mater of his vould go berserk and who knows what he would do out of rage and anger .

He clenched his fists "Whoever it is that poisoned my mother I will tear them all apart " he gritted his teeth , his eyes flickered gold and then back to black.The carriage took couple hours to reach at his kingdom .

Once they reached at Ximpton no he couldn't wait to enter the castle, the carriage was riding so fast that it didn't care to warn anybody on the way, the people kept running and moving out of the way , some fell even fell on their butts out of shock "Who is that insolent good?" yelled and old man who had to jump aside for his life. He could hear their complaints but he didn't care much, what truly matters was for him to reach at the castle.

The carriage finally arrived at at the castle, the big wide gates were opened after an announcement about his arrival .

The carriage stopped at the stairs, the moment the carriage packed, Crown Prince Levy disappeared in the thin air, Vincy's eyes were widened, the Prince couldn't wait to get down from the carriage and just teleported to the queen's quarters out of blue.
