His Witch Queen-Chapter 143: Almen destroyed everything!

The gaze was simpler and more complicated than usual. Even the thought that the rose in Cyrus’s brain was awakening.

The old man didn’t respond but the simple glance was carrying thousands of unsaid words in them. "You are old enough to understand."

"What Rubbish!" Cyrus thundered with doubt. "How old is this tale? You are saying that it is a centuries thing. How is this possible? Tell me, how?! I’m not that young or old even!"

"Relax my prince, you are getting hyped up before you hear." The old man tried to sound calm, despite finding the shocking behavior of Prince not new. Knowing the truth will make him agitated, and he was ready to face it with his arms.

Unless he tells them the entire truth, he won’t be sitting ideally to hear their images.

The Prince’s expressions and behavior were all expected of the old man. He didn’t express any displeasure but Alice was pretty much alarmed too.

She took his hand, to make him sit back on the couch. "Cyrus, at least hear what he has to say to you."

"But Alice, have you heard what he said?! This is something which happened creatures ago. How is it possible for me to actually be born so before?" Prince Cyrus expressed his shock to her.

Even though he knew that King Almen was the worst to them, that didn’t change the fact that he was also from that century. How? Why? And if his parents are the late Crowned Prince Derek and Lady lucy, when where are they currently?

Few lines appeared on the old man’s forehead when he coughed, "You are doing fine with yourself. Sit, I will tell you the rest."

"Please Cyrus. Keep calm and sit.." Alice also requested.

When she took his hand into hers, she made him sit again and then massaged his shoulder with her soft hands. Never ever did she think he would react in such an uproar manner.

Yet his clan war inside so that they could learn more about the significant past.

The old man nodded his head after viewing Prince Cyrus way back again at the seat. While the other soldiers appeared to be most nonacting persons, they heard the past all along and that too, very well

"The process of the crowned prince being Crowned as the King was in just a few days. Concubine Shirley can’t accept that Derek is going to take the position of the King after his father. So, in the end, she manipulated Prince Almen to go after and take the syrup of the herbs. It was dangerous, and he knew it too well to begin with."

"Prince Alme ended up stealing the herbs from the place, which infuriated King WILLIAM a lot. It was easily found out because his actions weren’t as covered up. They were like transparent glass. I still could remember, the court was made to sit in the night that day...."

The old man closed his eyes to visibly renew instances out of his memory lane, "Prince Willian, he was very angry. Crown Prince Derek didn’t come in support since he was too displeased with Almen’s actions. And Queen Julia? She had nothing to say."

"However, Prince Almen was more cunning than anyone could imagine. He took the mixture and transferred it to somewhere else. When the soldiers had caught him, he acted as if he held the real bottle. But reality said that the mixture wasn’t real. He exchanged those two with some other bottle."

Hearing this from the old man, Alice had no question left in her mind. Knowing how worst the King can be, she wasn’t surprised.

But on the other hand, Cyrus’s veins were burning in anger.

He had cooled down, but not sufficient to listen and hear the truth so bluntly. Yet he was patient, at least to let the old man come on the main term of the talks.

The old man had folded the next page of the wrinkled book, lowering his eyelashes, "Who would have thought that a concubine’s son could go to the length of killing everyone in his family?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"What did he do?" Alice asked, straightforwardly without beating the beat. "Prince Almen didn’t stay in control for a long period. He wanted the throne and knew how to get it. In fact, he drank the mixture under everyone’s nose."

"When the right time came, in the next few days, he had actually kept the audacity to kill the King. That bastard prince....swept the knife across King William’s neck with the hatred which he held for him."

The words and the information traveled as the shock. Alice’s eyes widened into the air. She gazed at the old man, with her breath exhaling in the middle, "Y-You mean...It..is..K-King Almen who killed his own father...King William?"

"Correct, my lady."

"Oh, God!" Alice shook her mind to absorb this news.

She had least expected him to be so ruthless. Going to the lengths of killing his own father for the sake of power and throne. Had he gone mad or insane?

However,m in contrast to her bewildered expressions, Cyrus was pretty much the same. He didn’t show displeasure or annoyance, anger because the least. "Continue."

"The death of the King was announced very soon. What took everyone’s surprise was how can prince Almen be so courageous as to kill his own father? And afterward, we all learn that his powers have increased tremendously and it was all because of the mixture. He wasn’t under anyone’s control anymore and....not any normal vampire can beat him either."

"Not even Prince Derek?" Cyrus questioned with his raised brows. "Not even Prince Derek. After killing the King, the second target was the Queen’s mother and Prince Derek."

"Yet to destroy them, he used his inner powers which were horrifying. Those mixes are entitled to completely destroy the kingdom. I still remember, to gain more powers from the black magic too, he had sacrificed his own wife, son, and daughter..."

"He had a family before?" Alice didn’t shake the train and the old man replied, "He had a big family. Now, there is not even single dust of that generation."

’Killed his own kin and wife?’ gulping the saliva present in her mouth, Alice controlled her urge to roll her eyes. She wasn’t taken aback but dug this to be extremely lewd.

She could realize the chills down her spine, despite trying harder to maintain the same composure in her mind.

Yet the same can’t be said for the old man, who had a lot more to say, "It was the second day after the King’s death when the news of Queen Julia also died. It was said that she was hanged in her chamber and... let’s not go into details." The Old man furnished the reports and it was easily guessed that the result must have been worse.

Because Prince men’s techniques were degraded more than that of animals.

"Happened to the rest of the kingdom?" Cyrus’s query didn’t get rusted when the old man told, "He gathered the army. We still don’t know how, but because he had powers of that army. Some were on Prince Derek’s sides, somewhere on his. Unfortunately, we could easily guess that things don’t work this way."

"To defeat the king, he... burned the entire main castle of the king. Yet, who would have thought that inside it, Concubine Shirley also got burned very badly and..she was shown the path of her death too."

"Everything was burning down, the war, and the innocent people dying. Prince Derek’s heart ached a lot, but Prince Almen was a monster and he knew that if he took over him, everything would change. It was a necessity to stop him right there."

The old man’s information made their hearts clutch with stones. Their eyes were sheltered with fear, as they could hardly imagine what must have happened back at the time.

"S-So. Was Prince Derk defeated?" it was another question and at last, the old man solemnly replied with a grim nod. "He and his wife, Lady Lucy were made to stay in the jail."

"Lucy was pregnant and Prince Derek was in the worst condition possible. Both of them knew that death was nearby and this caused turmoil. Due to the stress and tensions, Lady Lucy.....gave birth to her child before the time..."

"Yet what was revealed next shocked their eyes too...." the old man’s lips curved upwards, as he could still remember each piece by the hold of his heart.

Nor did he deny a single word, appearing to be extremely positive and blunt. Even Cyrus and Alice’s minds got stuck, as the eagerness rose sharply. "What happened, then?"

"It was revealed that before King Almen, it was Lady Lucy, who had also drunk the mixture while she was two months pregnant. The mixture transferred to her child and then, her child possessed the same power as that of King Almen."

"He was the only one in the entire kingdom to compete with that monster now.."
