Kathy listened with great interest not interrupting Gilbert anymore. It was an Interesting story
" He only got stronger as he grew. The mansion couldn't hold him anymore, he just loves killing people and he hates getting locked up. I don't know the full details but something terrible happened years back. A very long time ago, he just went crazy like full crazy. He couldn't recognize anybody, he just killed whoever he saw . His brothers contributed in stopping him every one fought him that day but to no avail, one even died in the process. And so they called a woman, she had a great battle with him it destroyed the whole of Althreaze. She sacrificed her life to kill him . They both disappeared and that was when the princes became more scarier. Losing their brother didn't settle well with them, they caused trouble upon trouble making enemies with the cousins. But all in all no one could stop them after their brother when it came to strength and power was them. But one day after giving instructions ' do not touch ' they all disappeared all four of them, no one knows where they went to. But the cousins used the opportunity to reclaim their dignity but they're far too cruel, though the princes are troublesome the cousins are far worse. They just kill and take whatever they like, they made life difficult for everyone . The cousins including your husband, what am I saying. Especially your husband." He bit his lips in anger , but Kathy wasn't interested in the cousins
" The princes name can you tell me the first born name." Her voice hold a hidden emotion but Gilbert didn't notice
" We don't say his name it brings bad omen."
" Please just tell me his name." Kathy pleaded holding her breath
" Prince Dylan." Kathy finally breathed. Her insides was a mess, she was confused and filled with different emotions
" He is bad news a nightmare, he kills without thinking." She panicked. She was in trouble what if he kills her one day, she knows she had always have bad luck but not to this extent
" Yes, but he never hurt his mother. Personally I think that he is the pitiful one." Gilbert said looking sad
" Why would you say that, you said he couldn't control his powers." She struggled to say. But there was a hint of hope in her words
" Yes but... When he had hurt his mother by accident. I could have sworn I saw fear in his eyes. The way he just stared at the mirror back then after he had hurt his brothers too. He looked like he was hurting too, like he wanted to cry but didn't know how." Gilbert still remembered when he had his from the prince. Back then when Dylan was in a killing spree he had hidden in a bathroom but he felt like the most unfortunate person in the whole world when Dylan had walked into that particular bathroom. But Dylan wasn't looking at him he was just looking at a mirror, Gilbert saw that the prince was quite shaken by what he did to his mother
" Why is his powers out of control, why does he kill." Kathy asked, she wanted to be scared but again just like that she became worried after hearing those words from Gilbert
" He couldn't control it. It was like a curse, he battled with it almost all the time. It kept telling him to kill." Gilbert explain he looked lost too
" Why? What's it? Who keeps telling him to kill." Kathy was becoming emotional, she tried her best to calm down so Gilbert wouldn't notice anything
" I have no idea, I heard that it was an ancient dark spirit trapped in his body, it only craves blood. He sucks people powers inhaling it like some drug , it's just greedy and blood was the only way to calm the prince down back then. Although he tried his best to calm down in front of his brothers, the princes are really close just like their cousins, prince Dylan tried all he could not to kill them but....." His voice trailed off when he realized that he had given her too much information. Gosh what was wrong with him, he looked and saw the princess close to tears. Where humans this emotional?
" But .." Kathy looked at him wanting to know what he'll say.
Gilbert looked at the princess, she seemed interested in Prince Dylan, why?
" Why are you interested in the prince? " He asked, making Kathy blink looking away, when she didn't say anything." Oh I must have scared you. Don't worry he's dead now we're all safe." He said calling himself stupid for scaring the princess
" Oh,yes I was scared, he... he's dead, that's good then." She got up from the couch but her face still held nervousness and worry
" I'm sorry my princess." He apologized. He got carried away with the story.
" It's okay." She said. Gilbert left her after apologizing to her once more.
When he had left the princess with her promising to stay put, he proceed to go meet back with the prince, but a servant stopped him.
" Gilbert, what have you done now, what the hell did you do?" He cornered Gilbert with a question taking him off guard
" Thomas? What the hell are you talking about? What did I do?" Gilbert frowned looking at him
" You're being summoned right now everyone is in the throne room , the officials, the elders, the king, you name it " Thomas looked troubled
" Just tell me what the hell is going on ." He asked getting frustrated
" You tell me what the hell you did with her lady Beatrice." He asked urgently
" Who?" Gilbert frowned even more. He didn't recognize the name
" Beatrice you fool, someone saw you abandoning her body near the path to the poison oleander. Why were you carrying her unconscious." Thomas scolded and Gilbert seemed to realize the lady because his eye widened in horror
" Whose daughter is she?" He prepared himself for the worse.
****
Kathy sighed over and over again, now that she knew about Dylan what will she do. He kills without batting an eye but he hasn't killed her yet. He was the strongest person in the world, he was dangerous, from the looks of it they all thought he was dead. Should she still put all her worries on him. If he really was the strongest then he definitely was the only person who can help her survive this place. Besides they were like.... friends. Yes they were friends, but then she remembered the kiss and inhaled slowly.
" Well friends kiss some times. Wait a minute what am I saying , this is perfect if he's the strongest then I should really seduce him and then my safety would be guaranteed. They're scared of him anyway." She touched her chest as if trying to calm her heart down." Yes Kathryn, let's look at the positive side instead, we need to make him fall for us no matter what." She talked to herself trying to cheer herself up.
She's going to make him take her to yelgra too as all cost!
Kathy immediatly left the room forgetting her promise, she saw Gilbert talking with someone and took the opportunity to sneak away.
