Chapter 264: Worried For Drayce

It scared her. \'Did he drown? This water looks scary.\'

Seren was startled by the butterfly incident but now she was worried about Drayce. She looked at Slayer who was standing calmly with his head lowered in front of his Queen and didn\'t look bothered about his King.

"Where did His Majesty go? I saw him jumping out of the ship," Seren asked anxiously.

"His Majesty would be fine, Your Majesty," Slayer replied calmly.

Slayer\'s words were not enough for Seren to not worry about Drayce and she felt as if her heart was sinking deep down in the sea. She could not stop worrying about him until she would see him back in front of her.

"Shouldn\'t you go after him?" Seren asked as she looked panicked. She knew the knight\'s duty was to be by his king\'s side all the time and protect him.

Though Seren panicked like the noisy waves of the sea, Slayer was calm like still water.

"His Majesty has ordered me to look after you, Your Majesty," Slayer replied.

"I am fine here. Just go and check for His Majesty," Seren instructed hastily. She didn\'t want it to be too late to save him.

Slayer was still calm but in his heart, he was happy that the Queen was worried about his King, his friend. Whatever the Queen ordered, there was no way Slayer would leave her alone. As Drayce was not there, Slayer knew his responsibility well. If Drayce had left suddenly like this that means there was danger around and he had to protect the Queen if a situation arose.

Slayer once again replied calmly, "Your Majesty, we don\'t know where his Majesty has gone. But trust me, His Majesty is alright and will return soon. It is not the first time His Majesty has gone like this. I wish Your Majesty to trust in His Majesty."

Seren could say nothing more and stood by the railing of the deck from where Drayce had jumped. Whatever she tried, she couldn\'t stop feeling worried but there was no way she could do anything but trust the knight\'s words.

\'That butterfly? It didn\'t look normal the way it disappeared. What was that exactly?\' Seren could not find the answer and only frowned at herself, \'Why did I ask him to come to this ship? I should have just returned after seeing the ships from a distance. If I had returned, he wouldn\'t have gone like this. What will I do if something happens to him?\' Her mind turned chaotic with worry for Drayce and so many questions she had in her mind.

She was scared if something happened to Drayce. If she had not spent time with him and didn\'t get to know what kind of a person he was, she wouldn\'t have cared even a bit as he would have meant nothing but a stranger to her. But after knowing him, he had become someone important to her and she didn\'t wish anything to happen to him.

\'Please be safe!\' she prayed in her mind.

Somewhere far away from the ship, in the dense forest around the city, an angry red-eyed devil grabbed someone by his neck and pressed him against the wide trunk of the tree. Red eyes of the devil had turned to his darkest color as he glared at the man and gripped his neck tightly as if to suffocate him.

The man being strangled was calm as if he was not scared of death. his grey eyes with silver shine in them gazed at Drayce calmly as he smirked lightly. His shiny silver hair was long till his waist and his fair and radiant skin shone brightly under the sunlight. He was tall with a lean physique and wore soft cotton and silk clothes- the inner white long robe taking the shape of his physic which had an outer transparent robe with a silver-gray outline and embroidery.

Though those were not the clothes worn by the royals, still they were not the kind that ordinary people could ever afford to buy. The clothes added to this man\'s extraordinary personality that one could see he was not an ordinary person. The shine from his face like a divine deity, those eyes that showed he was there with a purpose, and those long silver hair, definitely made him look different.

"I... knew...you will catch..me." The man said with much effort as his neck was being strangled in a strong grip. Still, that teasing smirk didn\'t leave his lips as if he had already expected all this.

"Still, you dared follow us from that forest," Drayce spoke under his gritted teeth, willing to strangle the man in front of him to death.

The smile on the man\'s lips widened even more which only added to angering Drayce. But Drayce controlled himself and asked, "Who are you and why did you follow us?"

"I..can\'t answer...with...my neck being..strangled," the man replied.

The next moment Drayce released his neck.

Cough! Cough!

"You are really so strong...Cough!" The man breathed deeply and was done coughing but his condition didn\'t matter to Drayce.

"Speak!" Drayce ordered coldly as the killing intent in his eyes was still there.

He would have killed the man if there was really any threat from him to Seren but first, he wished to know why he had followed them, though Drayce was sure the reason was Seren. He wanted to know if this man was one of them who wished to harm Seren for the powers locked inside her. If it was the case, he wished to know them all and kill them at once. He could never let his wife be in any kind of danger.

The man was not scared at all and looked at Drayce playfully, "More than knowing about me, aren\'t you curious to know about that woman?"

Drayce narrowed his eyes at him and the man said again, "I suppose that woman is your wife and you still don\'t know about her. If you had known, I am sure you wouldn\'t have taken her out like this."

It was the truth that Drayce was not aware of anything about his wife, especially the fact that her father was hiding from everyone and which had changed Seren\'s life.

"What do you know?" Drayce asked coldly.

The man moved his neck here and there to crack it a few times and said playfully, "To know more about her, I need to know her first and only then I can tell you something. If you agree to it….."

"Trying to get closer to my wife?" Drayce hissed under his greeted teeth as he gripped the man\'s neck again. Without even giving him a chance to say a word, Drayce threw him high up by using his extraordinary powers that the man disappeared from his sight very soon and Drayce looked at the faraway mountain peak where no one could even dare to go even.

Drayce smirked and disappeared from there as well. What was left behind was the strong gust of wind.

With a strong gust of wind, Drayce appeared at the deck of the ship. It pulled Slayer and Seren\'s attention. Slayer had already turned around to leave as he knew his presence was not needed.

Seeing him back finally, Seren hurried towards Drayce and hugged him tightly while wrapping her both hands around him and burying her face in his chest.

This reaction startled Drayce as he didn\'t expect this from Seren. He was about to wrap his hands around her, Seren pulled back and stood two steps away from him.

"A-Apologies, Your Majesty...I..was just…." She didn\'t know how to explain.

Drayce could understand her and covered that two steps distance between them and hugged her. "Did I worry you, my Queen?"

Seren, who felt comfortable in his warm embrace and felt her anxiety disappearing, nodded lightly, "I thought Your Majesty had fallen in the sea."

Drayce smiled pleasantly, realizing that she was worried about him, which means she cared for him. Such a pleasant feeling it was. The way she immediately hugged him the moment he returned, he already got what he wished for.

"Nothing can happen to me, My Queen," Drayce assured as he kept hugging his worried wife.

------

Thud!

Cough!

Faraway, high up at the peak of the snow-covered mountain, a tall figure fell, making the impression of the figure into the white snow.

The man lying on his back flat and his hands and legs opened wide open while facing the sky, smiled teasingly instead of getting angry at how he was thrown like this without even getting a chance to say a word in his defense.

"That red-eyed man, he sure is so powerful but he can\'t stop me getting closer to that woman. I need to know if she is the one," he talked to himself and closed his eyes. Inhaling deeply, he spoke again, "So cold but feels nice. Seems like I will love this place."
