Chapter 722 - One Of A Kind
"By the way brother," Kyle spoke as his gaze was fixed outside the plane's window. "About Zeres… he killed a famous personality last night."
Alicia's eyes stretched wide at what she had just heard.
"It seems he's really hellbent on finding out what he is looking for," Lucas piped in when Ezekiel remained silent and did not make a single comment on his younger brother's report. "I think he's being way too reckless. He needs to mellow down a little or even ask for help from us. But he never speaks about what is he even looking for."
A short silence followed Lucas' words.
"Brother…" Kyle turned to Ezekiel now. "Do you know anything about this? About what Zeres is up to? Can't you just lend him a hand? I have asked him to let me help out, but he didn't let me. I'm certain if it's you, he'd probably accept it."
"We're already helping him, Your Highness." Lucas was the one who answered Kyle's question. "The source of the intel about that woman we gave to that assistant of his is –"
"Lucas." Ezekiel finally spoke as he cut him off halfway through his explanation. "Get me something to drink."
Lucas blinked then he quickly nodded and left.
"Did he deal with that woman's body properly?" Ezekiel then asked Kyle, his tone as flat and uninterested as always.
"Yes. I don't think the police will find out if there was anything strange about it. He had done it clean and properly. It's also a good thing that she was a witch."
"Good." Was all Ezekiel said and then the topic quickly moved on to the matter about Kyle's university.
As the two vampire brothers continued speaking about it, with Ezekiel instructing and reminding Kyle about the things that he must do and not do while living among the humans, Alicia just stood there quietly, listening in to their conversation a little absent-mindedly. In fact, the conversation between the brothers just flowed over her and she did not quite register what they were saying. Instead, her eyes were now looking outside the plane's window.
The things she had heard Kyle mentioning about Zeres earlier really bothered her. 'Zeres… what are you doing? Could it be that you're…' Alicia's fists clenched slightly at the thought that had just popped into her mind. As she continued to ponder upon it, even her brows furrowed and creased.
…
Back inside the two-storey bookstore, the girl who had fainted at the sight of Zeres finally opened her eyes. She sat up, stretched and yawn like she always does every time she wakes up. Then she grabbed her ponytail and pulled off the scrunchie holding it together. Her hair was mussed up from her sleep and she re-tied her dark hair behind after using her fingers to comb through and tidied up a little.
She stood and was about to make her bed when she froze in mid step. Her green eyes caught sight of a man who was sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall, sleeping.
The blanket in her hands fell from limp fingers as she rubbed at her eyes to make sure she was not just seeing things. She even pinched herself just in case she was actually dreaming. But then, as she did that, the sharp pain and what had happened last night finally caught up to her mind.
Her hands flew to her mouth. Those green eyes were now wide like saucers. She just could not believe her eyes. And she did not know what to do now.
She knew that he was certainly a witch. Those silver locks and that impossibly beautiful face… and also the fact that he had entered her house without her even noticing anything… there was no doubt that this man was a witch. Only witches could break into a house so easily like this!
Those memories in the past, when she was still young still vividly remained in her mind. Those times when all of a sudden, people entered the bookstore without even opening the door. It had been years since those people stopped coming over and they never returned here again. But she already knew a lot about the witches by then, all thanks to her grandmother. She also knew that the witches have a queen who was the only different one from everyone when it comes to her features and powers. Though she had never seen a silver-haired witch, she was very well informed as she always loved to ask her grandmother to tell her more about the witches. She loved to know about witches that she always tells her grandmother when she was younger, she wanted to become a witch when she grows up. But her grandmother had just smiled at her every time she told her that until she grew up and the moment she had turned sixteen, her grandmother disappeared. It was as if she had been a bubble, one moment there, and the next moment gone. And no one else but her had remembered there was this person who was her grandmother.
Since her disappearance, she had waited for witches to come visit this house again so she could ask them to look for her grandmother. But for the past three years, no one had come. There was not even a shadow of them.
Yet now, someone had finally come! And it was… the one of a kind type! Not to mention that he was a male… a freaking godly male!
Her eyes travelled from his head down to his toes and she felt like fainting again. She had never seen a man this beautiful, not even in her dreams! Oh my god! This! This is the man that I am looking for!! Her mind screamed and as quiet and quick as she could, she grabbed her pencil and sketch pad.
There was only one thing in her mind right now. To immortalize this man in her drawings. This will be the perfect male lead she had been looking for in her BL series!
Excitement blazed in her eyes as she started sketching. She was afraid that he would disappear once he wakes up so she might as well grab this opportunity to draw him now.
