Chapter 263 - 263 Benevolent



He had never felt this terrified of someone ever in his life before. Yes, he used to get bashed by rich people every once in a while. He was used to being pushed around by the people in power. However, the only emotion that he felt towards them was anger, not fear. But this person in front of him, there was something about him that made him terrified to his core even when he hadn’t laid a single finger yet.

“I d-don’t think so, Milord,” Cillian happened to subconsciously stutter.

Romulus slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair and growled, “What? Not a single one of them died?”

Slayer stepped in front of the scared boy and replied, “There were some casualties on their sides as well.”

Romulus looked past Slayer and said while glaring at Cillian, “But that tiny man said otherwise. Wasn’t he the one who witnessed it?”

Slayer stretched his arms as if he was really tired of standing. And then suddenly, he changed the tone of his voice from formal to informal one. “Milord, you are being quite aggressive towards the boy. Stop scaring the poor soul and stop confusing him.”

Romulus rolled his eyes and rested his back on the chair. “Okay, okay, I won’t shout anymore,” he said in a much calmer tone.

Slayer smirked and then looked at the boy. And he asked Cillian in a soft voice, “You don’t have to be scared of him. He is a temperamental one. Don’t mind him too much and speak without making an error.”

.....

Cillian gave a subtle smile to Slayer. He took a few deep breaths and then answered again, “I saw them carrying a few bodies and putting them inside a carriage. That particular carriage left in a different direction than the rest of the carriages.”

“Were any of those bodies dressed in rather fancy clothes?” Romulus asked with a curious expression on his face.

Cillian took some time to recall the detail. He looked at the alpha and then answered confidently, “They were dressed in armor. I think they were the guards.”

“Hmm…” Romulus closed his eyes and kept quiet for a while.

Slayer waited for a while. And when the alpha didn’t speak a word for quite some time, he said, “I think none of those who you targeted were killed.”

“How many of those red eyes did you see again?” Romulus looked at the boy and asked.

Cillian cleared his throat and then replied, “I think around 15. A few of the others came out of the inn later. But half of them were humans, I think. They didn’t have red eyes.”

Romulus nodded his head and mumbled to himself, “The King wouldn’t travel with just five guards now, would he? He had cleverly hidden the others outside the castle.”

Slayer then gave his own opinion on the matter. “Even then, they were still outnumbered. However, they were powerful enough to wipe out all the wolves that we sent. They aren’t the ones who we should be taking very lightly, Milord.”

“But isn’t it a given that they were powerful?” Romulus had a proud smirk when he said, “Those who came here must be the most powerful ones of their Kingdom. And the werewolves that we sent were just some expendable pieces of the chess piece.”

He suddenly got up on his feet and then started to walk back and forth along the aisle with his hands behind his back.

And he said as if the outcome was exactly what he had expected, “I didn’t expect those weak sheep to wipe out the red eyes in this attack. Of course, it would have been wonderful if they had gotten lucky. But, that sneak attack will surely do its job.”

“And that is?” Cillian unintentionally spoke what he was thinking. He instantly covered his mouth with his palm and hid behind Slayer.

Romulus gave an evil smirk and answered as his eyes shone in delight, “It will create tension between the three Kingdoms. The friction was bound to happen anyway. But I just added a little fuel to the spark. Now, all I have to do is wait for that spark to turn into untamable flames within no time.”

“Ahhh!” He spread his arms and looked up. And he spoke like an excited child, “It’s going to be so much fun to watch everything unfold in the near future.”

Romulus began to cackle dramatically as if he could already see what the future held.

Slayer rolled his eyes and shook his head. He had seen Romulus laughing like this countless times, and he was already fed up with that grim laugh of the alpha.

“I will excuse myself then,” he said in a whisper so that he wouldn’t interrupt his alpha’s daydream. He then turned on his heels to take a leave.

Romulus suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Slayer. His beta and the boy were heading for the door. “Are you really taking that boy in?” he questioned his beta’s benevolent act again. Normally, Slayer wasn’t someone to do any charitable work or take pity on an orphan. Thus, Romulus was still unable to believe that Slayer was being serious earlier.

Slayer raised and waved his hand without turning around to see his alpha. And he replied as he kept on heading for the door, “Yes. I am going to train him.”

Romulus narrowed his eyes at the door when both of them walked out and disappeared. Then he mumbled to himself, “I can’t believe he was actually serious. But why waste his precious time on that skeleton-like boy? If he wanted to train someone then I could have provided talented and healthy boys to him.”

He sighed and then mumbled, “Well, I guess the mighty Slayer also has some soft spot… picking up boys like that.”

Outside, Slayer led the boy toward a separate building.

Cillian quietly followed the man. He was relieved to be out of that room before he fainted out of fear.

Slayer opened the door to one of the rooms of that building and then replied, “This is a guest room. You can stay here until I arrange a more permanent room for you.”

Cillian was in awe when he saw the size of that room and all the expensive things that he saw inside. “This is amazing!” he exclaimed with a stunned look on his face.

“Don’t get too used to it. Your permanent room wont’ be this lavish. Alright, I will see you tomorrow,” Slayer said that much and then walked away before Cillian could ask anything.

“Umm…” Cillian looked inside the room and thought as he smiled ear to ear, “I guess I can sleep on the bed tonight.”

He instantly jumped on the bed with his dusty and dirty clothes on. He giggled like a happy child and looked around the room filled with things that he had never seen before – expensive paintings, vases, heavy furniture, and whatnot.

Suddenly, he heard someone walking down the corridor. He had left the door to his room open, so he quickly jumped out of the bed and headed toward the door.

Just as he was about to close the door, his eyes fell on the most beautiful lady he had ever seen.

‘Whoa!’ he exclaimed in his mind and gaped his mouth as that lady walked past his door. ‘Who is she?’ he peeked out of the door and kept on following that lady with his eyes until she vanished from his sight.
