The Tears of a Prince

Lion- Saint Mesa

The prince grabbed the man, his gray hair tied in a poorly made ponytail while he wore the uniform the few butlers in the palace wore. As Kai's hand wrapped aggressively around his neck he slammed him on the wooden wall making him cough. 

"Let's talk. I don't want to be mean here or anything." the blond prince said, a sardonic smile on his face. The crowd had retrieved on the other side of the room, as far away as they could to not face the wrath of the wild vampire that stood before them. 

"Your highness, I…I had no other choice. I swear!" the man exclaimed, knowing that he could possibly be dead soon. His eyes were filled with tears, his whole body was shaking from fear but Kai ignored him, tightening his grip able to only see red. 

"Alloy put you into this didn't she?" Kai asked him, not caring about his pleadings. He heard the man having trouble breathing, he heard the breath trying to enter his body and watched as his face turned red. He let go of him, his body messily landing on the floor and he kicked him in the face, creating a huge cut on his cheek bone before the butler fell with his face on the floor. Kai stepped on his back, making sure to keep him down as he crouched slightly, meeting his terrified eyes. He used to be red but now his face was pale, as if he had seen a ghost. The truth was he was actually looking at death, right in the eyes. "Answer me. Answer me and I might think to not fucking kill you and everyone you love. There is no going back now, all you can do is confess." he reminded him and the man whined. 

"I had no other choice."

"Do you think that I care? I want to know what happened, not your inner conflict so talk!" He shouted and stepped on the man harder, making him let out a loud scream. 

"She told me I had to do it. I stole the knife right before the tour, it was one I was sure no one was going to bother with because it belonged to one of the ancestors the queen did not like so I just took it out of the room and waited. Once all of the werewolves were gone to go to the tour I went in. He was really weak, beaten up and it wasn't hard for me to do it. I just stabbed him and took the knife to your room. Then she did everything else by planting suspicion and saying it was you. Your highness, I really didn't want to do it. I swear, please spare me." 

"Why did she do it? Is it because she is said to like Philip?" Kai asked him.

"What? No…I…she said she had a plan, she is working with someone…she told me that if I didn't help my family would die." he cried, his tears dumping the wooden floor and Kai sighed, shaking his head. He removed his foot from his back, even more confused than before. Who was she working with and for what reason? He wondered. Could it really be true that she wanted to mess up the treaties? 

Kai looked at Xan, his older brother seeming as skeptic as he was, his blue eyes focused on the floor so he didn't notice him. The person he looked at next was Ash. 

"Take that idiot. Tie him up and make sure he goes nowhere, you will be talking with the queen and exposing that bitch if you want to live. Am I clear?" Kai asked him, threateningly staring at him. The man nodded weakly, his tears stopping as Ash raised him and tied his hands behind his back with a rope. Kai needed a few seconds to think, what could be his next move, what would be best? His main goal was to be able to bring Lun back but as he had gotten deeper into things it seemed that this plan of hers wasn't as simple as they thought. He had to know what was happening. Someone trying to ruin the treaties had never happened before. She was also cooperating with someone. A royal? Hunters? Everything seemed dangerous enough. 

"Soran, go tell my mother that we need to gather at the throne room. Tell her we found out who did it. If I go she will probably not talk to me." Xan said and their white haired friend nodded, leaving the practice room in a hurry. 

His footsteps got mixed with the sound of someone else approaching and the two brothers stared at the door, soon seeing a panting John appear before them. He stopped at the entrance, supporting himself on his knees as he tried to breathe. 

"What is it?" Kai asked. 

"She…she was the one who did it." John said and Kai smiled, approaching him and patting his back. "We already know that, you don't have to hurry, just wait and take a breath okay? We will be bringing back Lun soon." he told him, feeling a bit better. John was fine, he had managed to do what he was asked. 

"No…Boss you don't understand." The young werewolf said, his brown eyes wide as they met with Kai's and the prince stiffened, worried about the fact that John didn't seem relieved with what he had just heard.

"What happened John? What did she tell you?" Kai asked him, suddenly feeling impatient. Xan approached them too, anxious about what could have happened.

"BloodBound, I think she is planning to destroy BloodBound." John announced.

"Fuck!" Xan shouted, kicking a resting bench made out of wood that was close. The bench flew in the air, traveling to the wall until it collated with it and broke in many pieces. 

"This is…" Kai mumbled, for a second his brain stopped. "We need to get the queen, now!"

"They caught Lun!" A voice was heard, Soran appearing a few minutes just before he had left the room. 

"We need to go.. Now!" Xan shouted, not giving a damn about BloodBound at the moment.
