The Tears of a Prince - Chapter 257

When the guard visited Kai’s room, interrupting his time with Philip he couldn’t say he was happy. Especially when he heard the reason why he had been knocking at his door so deep into the night.

“Your mother requested to see you, your highness.” the guard had said before he had left.

Kai had sighed, shaking his head and thinking very hard if he should go or not. He didn’t want to see her or talk to her. He was going to leave tomorrow and he couldn’t feel more relieved about it. Being here, with Philip was good enough, he didn’t need anyone else to ruin it.

“Just go.” his boyfriend told him, kissing his forehead gently. “I know you want to.”

“On that note you’re mistaken.” Kai said , making him chuckle.

“We’re leaving tomorrow. We don’t know if we’ll be coming back soon or ever so why don’t you go and have an honest talk with her, just to get it off your chest. You don’t have to forgive her, no one will ask you to, at least not me but you do need to free yourself from the wounds she caused you. Once you’re free, I will be free too.” he advised him and Kai pouted, looking at Philip with sad blue eyes.

“So now you’re telling me that I have to do it for you too so I won’t run away. You’re too sneaky you know.” he commented and Philip smirked, caressing his cheek, slowly feeling the coldness of his skin in his palm, the softness.

“Isn’t that one of the reasons why you like me?”

“I don’t like you, I love you.” Kai corrected him and the Alpha kissed him on the lips. A sweet peck before he looked at him.

“Just go. I will be here waiting so just have that talk with her. You owe it to yourself.”

“Fine, fine.” Kai agreed, still not really wanting to go. Philip practically pushed him out the door, leaving him in the corridor as he locked the door behind him. It wasn’t as if Kai couldn’t flash inside if he wanted to. The blond prince smiled, looking at the wooden door for a second and thinking of Philip behind it. He didn’t know what he would be doing if he hadn’t met him. Maybe he would have remained a spoiled prince, a fake rebel and a burden. Someone who only enjoyed the superficial things in life. Living life to what he thought was the fullest but actually draining himself, bit by bit.

He hadn’t had positive thoughts for a while. Thinking of him, knowing he would be there was enough to improve his mood. Maybe talking to his mother would be a good idea, her attitude the last few days had made him feel perplexed after all. It could be the effect his father had on her, keeping her grounded, he still didn’t know but it could be good if he could take Philip’s advice and free himself, both of them from the burden of the past. Yes, the Bloody People had made their return but he wasn’t going to succeed fighting in the future if he still hadn’t won the battle with the past.

The prince knocked the door on his mother’s bedroom, hearing a soft come in from her lips. He opened slowly seeing the queen sit on her nightstand as usual, brushing her long hair. She always used to do that, now Kai knew she had that habit when she felt nervous.

“You came, I am surprised.”

“I am full of surprises, mother.” Kai told her, a cold smile on his face as he sat at the edge of the enormous bed. “What did you need me for?” he asked her.

“I talked with xan too, some things we need to specify before you leave. It would be good to not ruin the mission and have BloodBound extinct.”

“You wanted to talk to me about that?” Kai asked her, raising a golden eyebrow.

“What else could I need you for?” she asked back and heard her son scoff. He shouldn’t expect anything from her. Just a small swift in her attitude did not mean redemption it just meant that she wasn’t having a bad day.

“I see. Don’t worry. I will do just fine, all of us will. I have never failed a mission before and it won’t be the first time now.” he stated and Cecilia shook her head, staring at him expressionless.

“I just think that we need to specify that you shouldn’t let any romantic feelings push you back and you should solely focus on the project ahead. You tend to be…reckless when you’re with that werewolf of yours and that’s why…”

“Stop.” Kai told her, his expression showing how offended he was. He stood up, blue eyes, just like his father’s judging her. “You shouldn’t be saying all that to me. I don’t even understand how you have the audacity to be so shameless towards me after everything you’ve done.”

“Kai, all I am saying is that you need to be level headed. This is an important matter, it won’t be just some kind of adventurous vacation you’re going to take with your boyfriend so…”

“You ruined my entire life!” Kai shouted at her.

He couldn’t keep it in any longer. Listening to his mother gave him a headache, made his blood boil. The way she talked,  making everything seem about business, but this wasn’t business. He was her son, how could she be so cruel to him?
