When Liam, Derek, and Mia left the palace, the Chancellor and his guards followed them out as well leaving behind the King alone and in peace.
The young King had a strange expression as he stood up and walked back to his chamber from the garden.
But suddenly, as soon as he entered the room, a grey cloaked figure materialized in front of him as if he was appearing out of thin air.
The King, however, was not surprised on seeing this.
"What is it, Rava?" He asked, his voice strangely sweet like nectar instead of the normal hoarse tone.
Responding to him, the grey cloaked figure bowed politely and then answered. "Your highness, that person is not to be trusted."
"Hmmm? Why do you say that?" The King removed his crown, letting loose long cascading soft strands of purple hair.
He also removed a layer of skin from his face, which looked like a mask, revealing a peerlessly beautiful appearance.
Now, instead of the young King, an elegant beautiful woman was standing in the room.
"He…" The grey cloaked figure stamred as if he couldn't keep a straight face any longer. He looked down and only then continued.
"I can sll greed and bloodlust on him. I can also sll sothing else, different energy. Sothing sinister surrounds him. I can sense it."
"Hmmmm…" The woman tousled her hair and flopped down onto the bed.
The man talking to her was her personal guard, who had stood by her side since her childhood.
Therefore, she trusted him and heeded his counsel. But even if he had not pointed it out, she could intuitively tell that the new Duke was up to no good.
Just like every other man around her, this man also wanted sothing from her.
"They are all the sa." The King or rather the young woman muttered and hugged her pillow tightly.
"They are all watching and waiting for to fail. They want to take everything away from , Rava."
The grey cloaked figure clenched his fists, but he remained silent. He then watched as the woman fell asleep, too tired and worn out.
anwhile…
Mia looked at Derek, who was silently walking beside Liam or rather a step behind him like a faithful bodyguard.
He was calm and composed, as if what just happened had nothing to do with him.
He only reacted when Liam asked him sothing, and he also only spoke when spoken to.
Mia sighed softly. She couldn't be like this.
Though she was not as bad as Alex who thirsted for knowing all of Liam's deep dark secrets, she did want to know so things to plan better.
Sotis working with Liam was like walking around with one's eyes blindfolded. She had no idea what was going to happen when.
Just when she was mulling over inwardly whether to ask the guy, she unknowingly bumped into sothing.
She looked up to see that Liam had stopped walking, and she had mistakenly bumped into him.
"Sorry," Mia said, trying to remain as calm and composed as possible.
"What? Are you thinking about sothing deeply?" Liam chuckled. "How is Alex doing? Is she fine?"
He guessed that she was probably worried about this so he asked her.
"Oh! I forgot!" Mia blurted out. "Alex just logged back in a few minutes ago. Give a second. I want to give her a quick call."
"Already?" Liam was surprised. "Ok, take your ti. Also, tell her to rest properly. It is important to keep ntal health."
"Especially her ntal health," Liam added not so loudly, chuckling to himself.
Mia nodded and then stepped aside. anwhile, Liam had a conversation with Derek that he had been aning to.
"How are your mother and sisters doing now? Was the surgery successful?"
"Yes, Mr. Liam. Everything went smoothly. I am extrely grateful for your help. I will-"
Liam chuckled and stopped him then and there. He already knew what the guy was going to say.
"Alright. That's enough. I have many tis asked you to stop thanking . You won't listen to ?"
Hearing this, Derek imdiately beca stiff and his expression turned serious. Liam quickly again interrupted him.
"Relax. I was just joking. By the way, are you able to play the ga now? Or do you need more ti?"
"No, Mr. Liam. I can play now. I have finished doing all the necessary duties."
"Ok, in that case, from now onwards, we will be working very hard. Actually, there is sothing else that I need to tell you."
"Derek, what do you think about this ga?" Liam asked.
This was not sothing he should be breaking to anyone in the middle of the road but he had no other choice.
After seeing Alex and everything that happened recently, many should already be apprehensive about continuing to play.
So he did not plan on hiding things from everyone for much longer. It was about ti everyone knew the truth.
"Derek, listen to carefully. What I am about to say is sothing that might sound crazy but you have to try and believe ."
"This world is going to change soon…"
Liam then patiently explained things as much as he could while at the sa ti trying his best not to overwhelm the guy.
Even if it was Derek, he knew that this would be a little too much to digest.
But surprisingly, he reacted slightly better than expected. "Are you worried?" Liam asked.
Derek shook his head. "I trust you." He gave a short and curt reply, which however, said volus.
Liam was stunned for a mont, before breaking into a smile.
"Ok. That's good. You should prepare your family's passport and other governnt necessities as soon as possible."
"It is best if you move soon to my location. Obtaining docunts might give a little bit of issue but there is nothing money can't solve."
"Also, you need to get gaming capsules for your other family mbers. Let them log in and play the ga."
"Do you have a problem with any of this?"
"No, Sir." Derek nodded.
