CHAPTER FIFTY TWO
The look that was on Alyssa’s just told the guard that the poor mother wasn’t ready to leave at all; she looked like she was ready to push past them and run inside to see her child.
She tried asking the guards to help her with her child, this time pleading with her life, but even with Alyssa’s numerous pleas, they screamed at her to leave the palace immediately. They even threatened to carry her out by themselves if she didn’t leave.
As she was being screamed at, a look of defeat flashes through Alyssa’s face, and she turns back instantly.
The guards watched as her legs continued hitting the dirty sand under their heels before they stopped watching her.
While Alyssa was going, she kept on thinking about what she could do to see her son. She wasn’t interested in leaving and accepting defeat just like that. She wasn’t someone who would give up, and she knows that, so she tried pushing the feeling of defeat and focusing on the main thing, which was getting her son out of Liam’s clutches.
The guards decided to tell Vale everything that was going on, just so he knows the latest happening in the palace. One of them agreed to stay back and see if Alyssa was going to go back. The remaining two guards started walking towards vale’s room and when they were about to get there, they suddenly stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.
Something was wrong, and they also knew that something was wrong, but after looking around with very satisfied looks on their face, they were sure that everything was okay, or at least everywhere looked as if everything was okay.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
After that little eye scanning of the surroundings, they started walking towards Vale’s room. When they got to his room, they shared an unsure look to show that they weren’t sure if they were to tell vale about everything. After a few seconds of silence observed by the both of them, the guard on the left finally stretched his hand forward to quietly knock on the door. He did, and the both of them looked at each other again before the guard on the right decided that it was his turn to knock.
“Okay.” He answered even when no questions were asked. He knocked on the door again, but this time, his knock was even more silent than the first one and the guard that was on the left swore that vale wouldn’t have heard the knock even if he tried.
“That’s all you got?” The guard asked, and he was about to knock on the door when the door was suddenly open.
Vale looked at the men standing right in front of him before looking down to see the guard’s fist still in the air.
The guard moved his hand back with a wide-eyed look on his face.
“Do you need something?” Vale asked, and he crossed his hands against his chest while staring at the men with squinted eyes.
The guards looked at each other, arguing inwardly about the person who was to speak to. Their silence earned an angry groan from vale, and the guard on the right was pressured into speaking.
He started telling Vale everything that had happened and as he did, so many looks of surprise and a bit of anger were flashing through his face, but even with that, he remained calm, and he waited for the guard to be through with what he was telling him.
A few seconds later, the whole explanation of bow everything had been fully made to Vale, and he was in deep thought about it. He didn’t even realise the guards were still standing right in front of him, waiting for his order for them to leave.
Vale went back into the room and was about to close the door when he saw the guards standing there, looking at him with confused looks on their faces.
He looked like he was a little embarrassed, and he quickly mumbled, “You can leave.” to the guards, and he was left to shut the door after they left.
Vale started pacing around his room with his hand on his chin, stroking the few strands of beard that were there, struggling to even grow.
That went on for about nine seconds, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks. With the look on his face, it seemed like he already knew what to do.
He went to the door and opened it instantly, and he went out without attempting to even lock the door after he got out. He started walking towards Liam with a weirdly formed look on his face. Anyone who saw him at that moment, would have known that he looked angry, shocked, and awkward at the same time, which isn’t a very great look to look at.
A few seconds later, a shocked-looking Vale was standing in front of Liam’s room, contemplating whether he wanted to talk to Liam.
He looked as if he pondered over it for a second before he opened the door without knocking at all.
Liam looked a little startled and surprised and even when he saw that it was Vale that barged into his room like that, he still looked surprised.
“People knock when they are about to enter other people’s spaces. You didn’t know that?” Liam asked, his voice laced with a bit, just a little, of sarcasm.
“Nope,” Vale said, and looked around the room like he hadn’t seen it before. Liam knew that he was doing that to waste time, and he wasn’t even interested in that at all.
“What do you want, Vale?” Hunger asked, and Vale’s gaze was returned to Liam’s sweaty forehead.
Vale moved closer to him and took a seat beside Liam without asking if he could. A small sigh escaped Liam’s lips, and he went on to sit in front of Vale.
He raised his eyebrows at Vale, showing that he was waiting for Vale to start speaking anytime soon.
Vale took the sign and started talking about how he didn’t like what Liam did, and he continued calling Liam out on his actions. Liam silently waited for him to finish speaking before he started speaking.
Liam told him why he did that and everything, while Vale just watched his mouth move in a particular motion in silence.
“I think I need your help because-” Liam started saying, but Vale stretched his hand forward to stop him from speaking.
Vale wanted to help Liam, but he would rather not come in between the both of them because the issue concerned the both of them, and he told Liam that.
Liam agreed to that because he knew that Vale was right.
Alyssa was still trying to think of a solution when her mind wandered to Tiffany, and she decided that only she could help her at that point. Before going to meet Tiffany, she asked a few guards about her, and she was disappointed to hear that Tiffany wasn’t around.
She left the guards and went to a corner. Her legs were folded and brought up to her chest. She buried her face into her folded legs, and she started crying silently.
At that point, she didn’t know what to do again.
