Chapter 890: Later

Everyone took their seats after watching Zeke and Alicia disappear in a puff of smoke from the stage. Not a single person there could be found not smiling. It was a heartwarming scene that they knew they were privileged to have a glimpse into, and everyone was happy for the both of them.

Butler Charles had called for the maids to bring in the food for the guests to feast on for the night. As the maids were doing their jobs, the men meanwhile, had gathered around one table while the ladies naturally crowded around the twins.

The men were laughing and were in good spirits as they talked about Zeke. Though it was generally Alex and Kai who did most of the talking.

"Honestly, I had not seen that one coming. At all!" Kai was shaking his head as he placed his wine glass on the table.

"I can assure you, everyone did not. Well, except for me, of course." Alex said cheekily and proudly before raising his own wine glass in a toast.

"Yeah, yeah..." the men could only smirk as well. Not even trying to fight Alex's cheekiness anymore. No one can outdo him when it comes to being shameless. In fact, he might be the one who invented the term shameless.

"Are we going to make him talk later, Alex?" Kai asked, his face now somewhat serious. "I believe everyone wants to know what happened or what had gone on. I've heard the news about the issue between him and the vampires. Or was it just me who is in the dark and not know anything?"

"You're not the only one, brother." Kyle finally spoke, his tone wry as he too, admitted that he was in the dark about things that are going on. "I knew nothing at all. I don't even know how or when had he gotten together with Alicia."

The group of men went silent as they looked at the youngest in their circle.

"Well, you were at a human school, Your Highness." Lucas patted the prince's back, trying to comfort him.

Kyle let out a deep sigh. "That song he just sung... I don't know about anyone else, but those lyrics weren't just some simple lyrics, were they? If my gut feeling is right, what did he mean by those words in that last line? That he didn't want to go? Was brother planning on going somewhere?" Kyle could no longer hold back and asked the question that was bothering him the most.

Another silence hung over them. No one spoke, so Kai lifted his gaze towards Alex. He wanted Alex to at least say something for Kyle's sake. Alex definitely knows what was going on.

Kyle was young and Kai thought that at his age, there was a big chance that he might fight back and try to be rebellious. And this issue would only trigger it.

"Yes, he's planning to." Alex finally spoke. He had of course understood Kai's worries. This was not the time for Kyle to turn rebellious. Though he could still go through that stage of his life sooner or later, Alex would prefer if the trigger was not Zeke. Or at least not now.

Because he could already imagine what a pain in the ass Kyle might be if that happens. This boy had been the most well behaved and kindest prince among all of the Reigns princes. Alex could definitely attest to that. Kyle was just pure at heart to begin with, but that was also the biggest reason why he could be a major trouble once he started to become a problem himself. He had known how dangerous kind people actually were if they ended up being pushed past their limit.

"He's planning to leave Alicia?" Kyle asked again, eyes wide. He could not believe his brother would do such a thing.

"Not just Alicia. All of us." Alex corrected in a somber tone, causing the young man to go still in utter shock.

The seriousness in Alexander's gaze as he said those words had him unable to react for some time. Kyle had thought that song was for Alicia alone. That he might go somewhere and leave Alicia after... after she had turned into a vampire like that. It angered him because he could feel that his brother was finally in love. He finally found the love that had seemed to elude him for such a long time. Alicia was now an important part of him. He did not know what had happened. Or how and why did Alicia managed to turn into a vampire. But he knew that no one else could make such an impossible thing to happen, other than Zeke.

He believed that Zeke was the one who turned her. And now he was singing such a song like he was planning to just up and leave her? It made him want to run over and confront Zeke so bad. He wanted his brother to tell him that those words were just an out of place lyric in the song.

But now that he was hearing all this from Alexander's mouth. That he was really planning to leave - and not just Alicia but all of them?!

"And once he leaves, he can never come back." Alex added softly but everyone heard it loud and clear. The atmosphere suddenly turned completely heavy. Mainly it was caused by Kai and Kyle's auras that had been suddenly unleashed.

"W-what do you mean? Where in the world is he going that he can never come back?" Kyle could not help but stammer. Now there was a really bad feeling that was building in his heart.

He could not help but think about all the preparations Zeke had made him go through lately. He had felt the unusual urgency in his moves. Like he was preparing him for something big. The thought that all those things that he had done was because he was going to leave for good, had his entire being freezing.

"He's part demon, Kyle. You already know that, right?" Alex replied, knowing that that line was enough for Kyle to figure out. "But don't worry... because I think there is still time. Later, I'll make sure that he does not leave after the party so we can talk to him about this matter."
