GETTING BACK OF SERA
HALI'S POV
I held the glass of liquor and straightly drank it until nothing left.
Am I going crazy? Why my freaking feeling was lost? I felt so uninterested in anything. Every morning, I was waking up with black color in my surroundings and felt like going to sleep again. I ate, but I could not taste the food. I took in water, but I felt dehydrated. I moved, but I could not feel my body. I could see, but everything was blank.
What's the damn happening to me?
I would not admit that it was because of Zarya. Hell, no! That was the pan from the very beginning. She would go to the Battle of the Next Beta and life must go on. That was how it worked for me and for her. Nevertheless, I felt empty.
The Elemental Kingdom was disorderly chaos. They were looking for Seraphina. I was just laughing inside my head. No matter where they go in the Alpha King's World, they would not find her. She was at the Human World. If Froy saw her, surely, he would marry her as soon as possible, so no one could separate them. He was the kind of man who treasure what he loved because, in his entire life, he got no love from his family.
"King Water, your father is approaching." Leo from the outside, talking from the food nearly slamming in his mouth.
"I have no father," I whispered to myself. "No mother either."
A loud knock on the door echoed around. I rolled my eyes as I walked to the door. "Father! My beloved Higher King!" I opened my arms, welcoming him into my chamber. Raiden was beside him.
"Where did you bring Princess Sera!" His loud voice covered my chamber.
"Oh? Now I know where I inherit my loud voice." I grinned at him. "If she doesn't want to marry me, then, she goes fuck herself."
"Is that the manner of a king?" Raiden's forehead was knitted in annoyance.
"My actions would never be king-like to you. I'd rather be a low born than be an unhappy king." I turned my back on them and stopped right then when I heard Higher King's mad voice again.
"Why are you rebelling against the kingdom? This is all for you!"
I looked back at him. My eyes were blurry due to drunkenness. "Just for your beloved sons, not for me. Not for the Alpha King Of Water."
"Is that what you think that's why you push the princess away?" Higher King managed to calm his lion expression.
"I didn't push her away. Why the hell is this kingdom arranging a marriage in accordance to their like? Not to the king's beloved?" My stare went to Raiden. "Even Raiden, you want him to marry the woman he doesn't love."
"Don't act like a ten years old child, King Water. You didn't born yesterday. You're aware of the rules."
I completely turned my back to them and recklessly lay on my bed. It dipped and bounced up and down. "If you went to me to give me a lesson… you are just wasting your saliva. I am one true headache in this kingdom. Go to hell."
Higher King was about to step forward to hit me when Raiden held his upper arm. "Can I… talk to him instead? He's just drunk. Please, Father."
I closed my eyes when little by little the darkness was consuming me. I only saw one image, Zarya.
No, I'm not missing her. Not in my vocabulary to miss someone who has no sense.
When I heard the slam of the door, I guessed my father had left me alone with my brother. "Hali, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." I opened my eyes. He was standing right in front of the side of my bed.
"I heard the news from The Battle of The Next Beta."
I immediately moved up, rested my back on the lean board gazed at him, waiting for his next lines. A tiny smirk grew on his lips. "You love her, don't you?"
"As if." I looked away. The hell? That Poor Little Short Thing?
"Sounds untruth." He chuckled while he was moving down to my side. He embraced me using one arm, resting on my shoulder. "You don't have to jail yourself. Zarya's doing excellent in the play."
"How did you know?"
"My beta went there."
A relief was throughout my body. "How about Khal?"
"You must be proud of him. He's a hardworking man, taking care of his sister."
I kept silent. This was the thing that was ruining my mind. Thinking of how they were? What did they do?
"The problem is… you must fetch Sera. chaos is getting large." He tapped my shoulder. "Let her speak with our father. She only needs to soften his heart."
After my conversation with my brother, I went to the Human World. I was irritated with Raiden, but now I caught myself following his suggestion. He was still my brother after all.
I knocked on the Froy's house. When the door opened, Sera was smiling widely at me. She bloomed like a flower. The spark in her eyes was like fireworks exploding the happiness coming from her heart.
"Hi, King Water." She waved her hands with a glowing expression on her face.
"Let's go home." My face was just cold when I passed her, no matter how gorgeous her smile was.
"Baby, dinner's ready一Hali?" Froy's eyes widened when he saw me.
I rudely walked towards the couch and sat as if that was my throne. "I'm gonna get Sera."
"Are you kidding me?" Froy immediately held Sera in her hand. "No way. Over my dead hot and sexy body."
I chuckled a little when I saw the expression on his face. He sounded nervous. "I am a king and that's my command."
"Over your freaking balls," Froy whispered to Sera. She nodded her head and then ran going upstairs.
What the hell? As if I was an enemy.
"Why? She's glad by my side. Please, don't do this to us." Froy went closer to me. "You have an objective, haven't you?"
I did not want to talk or burst out my plan. I was not that kind of person. However, when it came to him, I had no option.
"Do you have liquor in your ref?"
He nodded his head, left me for a moment, and then gave me a drink. I was still dizzy due to drinking yesterday until now. This was my only strength at the moment.
"The Elemental Kingdom is under trial. Princess Seraphina is lost and if they didn't find her that will result in war." I opened the bottle, poured the wine glass, and directly drank it. "I should bring her back to convince my father to not marry me and choose to live in the Human World instead."
Froy stopped for a moment, thinking deeply. "Can I trust you?"
"No. There's no assurance for the plan to succeed." What was the purpose of lying in him? I should tell him the truth or else he would hope.
"I love her from the bottom of my heart. I have faith in you to return her to me. It's a request from your best of friends." His voice was revealing all the emotions he had for Sera.
Am I wrong to bring Sera to the Human World from the very beginning? Or Am I right to make him experience how to feel true love? Whatever. It does not matter after hearing the result of my father's judgment.
"I can't guarantee anything, but I'll do my best."
