Kiss Me Not-Chapter 265 - Coming Back

-UNEDITED-

Gavin creased his forehead as he followed Raine from behind. They were inside the forest, and he could hear wild animals nearby. There were many trees in the place, and the sun would soon set.

He heaved a long deep sigh as his eyesight continued to follow Rain on her trails.

"It won't be wise to continue. Let's wait when the sun is already up…" the man behind Raine suggested.

"No! Every second counts. We might lose him if we delay!" Raine retorted as she continued her tracks.

"But it will be perilous. They are powerful at night," the man looked anxious as he followed Raine behind.

Gavin looked where Raine and her man were heading. He creased his forehead, seeing what seemed to be an ancient castle.

'A castle on an island?' he mused, confused. They were on the island, and if he was not mistaken, it was the place where his brother was. He was aware that it was another real-time sight inside a dream.

It was another important event that had a connection to Mirage. He felt his heart stopped, realizing what could be happening. No wonder Raine told him that he could not join the rescue mission for his brother. It could be that his brother was with… Mytures? That was how Raine would call those mythical creatures, instead of directly calling those monsters or beasts, since it was too long.

"Hey, Gavin. I'm sure you're witnessing this right now. Just observe and make sure you never leave a single detail in writing this! I promised that to bring you Cedric tonight, and I will do that!" Raine confidently said with her vicious smirk.

Gavin shook his head, wondering when he would get used to that Princess. She was so different from others. She was too feral for a Princess! 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Gavin held his breath as he watched the following scenes before his eyes. Again, it was like he was watching a movie live. Raine, with her men, fought their way to where his brother was. They used high technology gadgets to penetrate the castle without causing much disturbance to their enemies. They were like thieves in the night. However, once they were inside, fighting was inevitable.

She stopped when a woman blocked their way.

"And what are you doing here in my castle, uninvited, Princess Raine? As far as I can remember, I kept this castle hidden for centuries from human's naked eyes." the woman murmured.

'No wonder they were unable to find Cedric!' Gavin mused.

"Oh right! You're someone special! You looked exactly like your mother, Ava, and you also possess her blood. That was why Marcus treasured you so much. If you want to find out more about your mother, then I guess you have to keep this woman alive," the woman added with a mocking tone, clearly negotiating.

"Enough with your nonsense. I need one man, and I am not interested at all with what you're talking," Raine impatiently grunted and was about to attack but halted when a man suddenly appeared, blocking Raine's way to kill the woman.

"Cedric…" Gavin gasped.

"Oh, God. Please, Gavin, and don't scare me! Why are you not waking up yet?!" Brione cried as she watched Gavin on his bed while sweating hard, still unconscious.

Gavin just passed out while they were walking in the hallway on their way to their private wing in the palace.

"Please calm down, Your Majesty. The King is just a bit exhausted. He is fine, and he will wake up soon." Cain confirmed upon making sure that Gavin's vitals were all good.

Gavin talked to him about this already, although he did not disclose all the details. Gavin told him that it was psychological and not harmful to his body. He had this tendency to pass out once in a while and go into a deep sleep. However, it usually would not exceed two hours for him to wake up.

Cain looked at his wristwatch and dismissed the other doctors inside the room on standby, saying he would personally look after Gavin.

He then looked at Brione and said, "Brione, I think you should head out and eat dinner with uncle Lucas, for him not to worry. Please calm down, and I assure you Gavin is fine. You must get used to this since it will be a normal occurrence now that Gavin's memories are all back."

Brione wiped away her tears. Cain was right. She should calm down and not let her father-in-law worry since he was unaware of what happened to Gavin. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

"Alright, I will go see father now. Please take good care of my husband, Cain. I will come back soon." Brione whispered and hesitantly left the room.

Cain heaved a sigh and whispered, "Gavin, wake up soon."

She was surprised to see aunt Leila who greeted her as soon as she entered the dining area.

"Where is Gavin?" Leila asked, looking at her back.

"Yeah, where is he, dear?" Lucas seconded.

Brione looked at the two and smiled, saying, "I'm sorry, father. Gavin fell asleep, and I did not want to wake him up. He's been sleep-deprived lately, so taking a nap like this is very precious to him. I will just bring his dinner later once he is awake."

"True… The poor boy needs some break so let him sleep whenever he can. Oh, but he is the one who asked me to join dinner. You see your thoughtful husband asking me to help you prepare for the royal wedding ceremony." Leila commented with a teasing smile directed to Brione.

"I honestly think it's no longer needed since we are married already," Brione whispered with a pout.,

Lucas laughed and said, "ah, but it's a tradition, dear, so whether you like it or not, you and Gavin have to do it."

Leila chuckled too as she seconded, "True. You see, people love seeing events like that in the royal family. Don't worry, dear, I will handle everything."

Brione smiled and kept her smiles on her face so the two would not notice how worried she was for Gavin. Cain said it would be a natural occurrence since Gavin had all his memories back, but Brione was unsure if she would get used to it if that happened again.

Back in Gavin's bedroom, Gavin was whimpering, so Cain called him, "Gavin…"

He was too startled when Gavin suddenly jolted and raised her body. He was awake and panting, so Cain instructed, "Breath in and out slowly…"

Gavin did what Cain instructed as he whispered, "Cedric… Cedric is back."
