The Alpha’s Temptation - Chapter 272 Keep Him Sane

Chapter 272 Keep Him Sane

When Tania was making the sketch, Izo was looking at it as she was sketching. The portrait that appeared in the end was different from Murel. However, he didn’t say a word about it to them. After thanking Lusitania, they got into a different conversation about her early days with Cordea and Arthur.

Tania was very forthcoming. She answered all his questions nicely and in detail. King Izo didn’t want to miss a detail. Although Taiyi had already told him most of it, he still wanted to know things from his perspective or the way he looked at the whole thing. Eltanin wanted to stay back, but he was too exhausted, which didn’t go unnoticed by Izo. He stopped asking questions eventually and then they left calling it a night.

King Izo looked closely at the sketch, rolled the paper and said, “Taiyi, if you are not tired, can you come with me now? I want you to channel his magic till the time he is here. It is important.”

Taiyi was surprised as to how her father was so eager. She smiled and said, “Yes, I can come with you now, but Murel is very far away. It will take a day for us to reach there, and a day for us to come back. Eltanin will leave for Draka because he won’t wait for two days of not doing anything. As such he is very impatient at the moment.”

Izo sighed and said, “Did you think I missed that part?” Sometimes his children were too naïve. “There are underwater tunnels that can take us there in a few hours. You just have to shift into your human form.” King Izo’s ancestors had built many underwater tunnels for the kings to traverse in case of emergencies and only the ruling king had access to those. It was something like secret passages in the castles that only the lords or the kings knew about. Except that in the Jade Sea, these tunnels ran beneath the kingdoms.

Taiyi was… shocked.

An hour later, she found herself in a warm underground tunnel walking with her father in the front. He was holding a torch in his hand. He smirked. ‘I hope you don’t get tired walking for a few hours!”

Taiyi chuckled. She had never imagined that her father, the King of the Jade Sea would be traveling with her through a tunnel for a task that didn’t involve his kingdom. He was doing it for Eltanin and Tania. She didn’t have enough words to express her gratitude to him and she didn’t want to lower his prestige by thanking him. In either case, it was such a beautiful thing.

She was singing his praises in her mind, when suddenly Izo said, “I wonder what my grandchild would look like?”

Tania practically halted in the tunnel as her mouth fell and as she stared at her father’s back. The grandchild, who probably hadn’t even conceived, was his driving factor?

“What?” Izo turned and sneered. “Can’t a man imagine?”

She shook her head. “Sure, the man can imagine.”

They reached the Kingdom of Murel with three hours and in those three hours, Taiyi heard hundreds of stories of her childhood. She didn’t know that her father could be this chatty.

As soon as King Izo showed himself in the kingdom of Murel, everyone got into action. It was deep into the night and most of the kingdom was asleep. The guards surrounded the king for safety and led him to their leader.

Murel was extremely surprised to see King Izo in his kingdom. Along with his wife, he hurried out to meet him in the throne hall. And as soon as he was there, Taiyi gasped.

“Your Grace,” the spy said. “We have looked for Tania in every kingdom. She still isn’t here. No one is able to find her.”

Sitting at his desk in his library, Menkar let out a loud snarl as he threw everything on the top of the table in one swift motion on the ground. His spy flinched but he kept standing without moving from his place. His master was having these notorious spells of anger lately.

Within a second, Menkar was next to him. He grabbed his throat with one hand and lifted him off his feet in the air. His gray eyes flickered a green. He growled at him, peeling his lips back. “You are slowing down in your wits nowadays. I think I have to replace you with someone younger and better and agiler.”

The spy grabbed Menkar’s hands as he started gasping for air. Tears came in his eyes. “M–master…” he squeaked.

Menkar pulled him higher and then threw him on the floor with a loud thud. The spy crawled, wheezing and coughing. Menkar kicked him with his boot. “If you don’t find her in a day, I will have your head decorating my mantle!”

,m “Y–Yes Master…” the sky sputtered. Unable to walk, he crawled out of the library. He had sent people everywhere, but no one had the slightest hint as to where Tania had gone. Somehow, the spy managed to crawl to a wall and lean against it. He had to get some information about Tania, even if was puny, even if belonged to her maid, but he had to. He was going to start a fresh search, starting from Draka.

Menkar walked to his table. He pushed a secret cupboard and stared at his collection of potions in small glass bottles. It was nearing an end and he needed more, desperately. He had been using it for so long to keep himself sane in over here. Soon he would have to replenish them. He picked up one and drank the contents.

It was two days since Eltanin was cooped up in Stourin. He was getting impatient to leave. Taiyi had used the entire next day too to channelize his magic and he was making great progress.

“I am leaving tomorrow!” said Eltanin, as he hurled a crackling white beam at a statue, missing a flinching servant, by millimeters.
