One

Chapter one, Part I | Unclear.

"Ma'am I'm sorry for disappointing you again."

A figure spoke as he kneels in front of a woman, who was sitting on a very old royal throne, her expression as calm as the dark of the night upon them. Yet, her eyes shines with fire, telling him (what he assumed) how mad she's with him without even uttering a word.

And why wouldn't she be mad at him for fuck sake ?

He promised her three times that he would catch those who blot to kill his queen, he sweared on her and her ancestors names that he will get their whereabouts as soon as they get out of their territory, but yet again he was proving wrong. the world was clearly laughing at how useless he was to his queen at the moment.

"It's okay Fenn, and it's not your fault." Her voice was calm, her features relaxed, yet those eyes of her said otherwise.

Before he could say it's his fault, she held her hand up slowly, shutting him from uttering those words and said.

"It turns out that they drugged you Fenn, they used your father's cup as it seemed the only cup your drink from since the day your father left this world."

He stood there, eyes puzzled not wanting to let his queens see how angry he was with this tip. He should've known since he couldn't reach his other half for the past week.

"Is that why your highness, didn't ask me about their whereabouts?" His voice was calm but his quick breathing told something else.

She smiled sadly at him, knowing how he felt. She held out her right hand, telling him to come closer to her as he did, she put in his hold a bottle of what seemed to be a medicine.

"I have ordered the witches to make you a medication that can help you as soon as possible, but the medicine took a week for them to finish” Her eyebrows frown a little bit “I didn't want you to feel useless that's why I didn't stop you."

Every word she spoke calmed him, he even felt happy to be cared for by her highness, as someone who was in reality useless even without his ability, yet what made him feel proud to be her right hand was how she took it upon her to seek for his medication even though she could ask someone else to do so. He couldn't help but blush.

"Thank you my queen, I'll take care of myself until I get back my ability, and my other half, I'll see you then." He quickly bowed down and run out of the room still with a rosy cheeks, leaving a smile on his queen.

Her expressions quickly switched to a dark one, her eyes glaring at nothing but the ground.

"Yushi, go replace the cup and tell the witches to make a spill that can get any harmful liquid that's get in the cup out of the it and into the one who poured it and suffocate them."

As soon as she finished, a figure emerged from the darkness of the ground bowing her head to her, "I'll see to it right away, My queen."

She hummed, approving of what she said, she couldn't get enough of how proud she would feel with any of her people. "You can go, Yushi."

She nod her head, before she say "Ciel is coming to discuss about your enemies whereabouts." With that she disappeared.

She gives her a smile before eyeing the door, waiting for Ciel to grace her with his gray folders, and his famous dark hood. He always had that young yet mutter facial so he hides it with his hood.

He hate it when others drool whenever he let his hood off of his head.

She heard a knock before one of her soldiers gets in and ask if Ciel can be sent to her right away, she nod and in a few minutes a short man walk in with his significant folders tucked between his hands.

"Your highness, how are you so far ?" He asked as he takes off the hood, showing his queen his features, as a small curve plays on the corner of his lips.

"So far frustrated, hopefully you've good news." She couldn' help but relax as he nods his head, smiling like a little boy.

"I have, but I've bad news too." His eyebrows knotted as he said the last part, he then stroked his hair away from his forehead and continued, "I get that Yushi told you about me finding their whereabouts." She nod her head, not liking where this is going. "The thing is, they're at the far deep of the forbidden forest of the last royal Alpha king."

He eyes her nervously waiting for her to burn everything around her with fire, but all he saw was her relaxed posture with a thin cold smile on her lips.

"So, you're saying they've gone there to get help from the last heir of the Royal Alpha ?"

He frowned upon hearing her question, the royal king died many years ago when his queen's parents were alive, which to be specific was many thousand years ago.

The Royal Alpha died before them but with the same disease.

He was known to have no mate, and even no heir to take his throne too, so his beta took it upon himself to disappear from the eyes of any creature. And so, they never heard of the Royal Alpha’s people since then.

"But.. they disappeared, my queen. Even the witches spoken about how they couldn't know their whereabouts, they're-"

"You said it Ciel, the forbidden forest. No creature would step there, even the power the witches have wouldn’t do much there. Though If it was the Royal Alpha’s people, that's another subject." She darkly said, her eyes flicking with realization.

She quickly snapped her left fingers, making a figure appears from the shadows of the ground. A man in a tight black outfit bowed to her, his half silver and yellow hair locks swayed with every move he make.

"Alexander, please do me the favor of checking the barrier that you and Yushi made, two days ago. And tell every creature on my land if any of them helped or think of helping those low lives, I'll personally take action against them."

Ciel stood there his knees shivers as he hear her last sentence, if he knew better it's that when his queen's voice drops like that, it means she's irritated and serious.

“Ciel be a dear and search for a way to control or weaken those alpha’s people.”

“I’m on it, my queen.”

His eye landed on her tanned face, hating how stressed she had become since that day, if only he had his ability that day, he could’ve done something to prevent it from happening.

If only..

With that he put back his hood up and jogged to his library, hoping to find something about them so his queen can relax and enjoy her days peacefully.
