THE DOG
HALI'S POV
My eyebrows raised up. I caught Pyro staring at me. "What?" The wrinkles on my forehead were evident as the annoyance filled my system. I hated to see his handsome face. He did not even bother to respond to my question. The one and only Pyro and his silent mouth, but I knew how to make him talk.
"Fira brought a hot chocolate in your chamber last night, but you were not there." I moved my head to the side, not showing him my grin.
"Really? Then Zephyrus drank it. I didn't see any."
See? He liked her. The woman who could make him talk even it seemed nonsense to me. Of course, Fira was his omega. It was normal for her to bring him a cup of chocolate or even food.
"F*ck her. I swear she'll love it." I licked my lips as I remembered Zarya. Well, I should not remember what had happened. It was usual for me to f8ck a woman, but Zarya was a good toy. I was enjoying her body and at the same time fooling her around.
"It's not all about making love, Hali."
"I didn't say making love, King Fire. I said f*ck. It's two different things."
"What makes it different? Combining mind, body, and soul. The same."
I scratched my nose. I raised my arms and folded them on my chest. Pyro had different thinking. I surrendered when it came to that thing. The walking going to the Elemental kingdom was silent until we arrived.
From the moment my feet landed on the soil of the Elemental Kingdom, the guards surrounded me with their swords. They were all pointing at me. That would not frighten me. The [erson who would make me scared was not yet born. I was not afraid of death.
"Get down your swords," Pyro ordered to all of them, but they did not follow him. I guess it was the father's order. "I said…" I held his shoulder to stop him from talking. I did not want them to burn in fire. It was too early to light them up.
"They're just following order." I nodded my head slightly, my gesturing showing him that I would be fine.
"Apology, King Fire." Seryo, Pyro's loyal guard gave me a manacle. He bowed at me and then offered the manacle.
"There's no need for that. He's not a criminal." Pyro's voice was not raised, but surely he was mad.
"That's fine. It's better Seryo than any other guard." I gave my wrists on Seryo and I let him place the manacle on me. Pyro did not say anything again. He stared at me so well as if he wanted to say good luck, but he could not burst it out.
'"'ll be fine. Don't worry too much. Your ass will be stressed out." I winked at Pyro as I followed Seryo.
"Pardon, King Water, but the trial would be at night. Your father ordered me to put you in Dungeon until the trial. He said you must be learned from poisoning your brother." Seryo was just stating a fact. He had no intention to make me feel guilty. I did be guilty, but not for poisoning Raiden. There was someone who did that before I came.
"That's all right. I am just forever an accused man, but never be guilty with the things I didn't do." I tapped his shoulder. My two hands were fused together, so it had difficulty.
He dragged me to the Dungeon of the Royals. This was different from the Dungeon of the peasant where Zarya was imprisoned for weeks. There was no oxygen out at night or sealing. I was free in my wide room with a bed. The problem was just dim. In this place, I could not use my water elements. Speaking of my power, I had no power now because of healing Zarya. There was also no water or food. The prisoner would just feed once a day and take note, the food was little.
"Great life. No f*cking of women." I sat on the bed as Seryo was removing my manacle.
"I heard about Zarya."
My attention was fully on him. "What about her?"
"Your father is looking for her. He will train her to be a beta and once she became one, she will give her a child. No matter what the gender is."
"That old bastard man did not content with his women? Zarya is too young for his old cock." I shook my head as the irritation in my expression was visible.
"But King Water, she needs to be a beta therefore she could kill as plenty as she could. Living like an omega means no killing of anyone and if she committed, hanging or beheading are the rules."
I moved up my head, staring at Seryo. "You are a smart guard of Pyro." I did not know that shits because I was not interested in the History of the Elemental Kingdom or the Rules and Regulations. I escaped during the classes of the Alpha Kings. When I wanted things to know, I would go to Pyro or… Raiden.
When Raiden came into mind. I felt the suffocation in my chest. "How's King Lighting?"
"He's still unconscious. No one letting in even the other kings, Your Majesty."
"Can you look upon him for me?"
"Always do your request, Your Majesty."
"Your loyalty is appreciated." I blew an air as he sad his farewell. I watched him move his ass off.
I looked around. The darkness was consuming the whole area. The only light that could brighten the place was from the small window with bars.
So this was Dungeon? It could not frighten me even a little. My mother used to make me sleep in the dog house when I was a kid. Perhaps she liked what was happening to me.
"Mama, please don't put me here!" I cried with my heart out while pleading to her. The dog house was too small and the dog was so wild. The night never passed without a bite with it. I was so scared as if I was going to be crazy. I was in a fetal position. I could not move or even stretched my body. The whole time I made myself fit in the small space through rain or shine. I ended up being friends with the dog. Eventually, I used to be in there. I learned to adapt to the smallest, but safest place, I realized.
Until one day when I loved to be in there, my mother beheaded my dog. I regretted myself for not giving him a name even in his last breath.
