Chapter 78: The Royal Dungeon

In the Dragon Kingdom, after Lord Blackhouse ran away with Eidenel, Alpha Oliver and King Archer attacked the werewolf pack that accompanied Lord Blackhouse.

It was a blood bath.

King Archer desperately wanted to join Alpha Oliver to attack Mr. Daryl but the few other werewolves that were with Mr. Daryl attacked the Dragon King.

Bernard eventually started to return from the errand he was running for King Archer, and then he heard the chaos and almost went crazy.

''My King!'' Bernard became a dragon instantly and attacked the werewolves that were attacking him.

''Bernard, I can;t use fire because I am in my bedroom. Nobody has ever lit up the King's court before.'' King Archer stated his worry at once.

''My King, the Siege will understand.'' Bernard said that, and before anyone knew what was happening, he was spitting fire, and then King Archer joined him.

The werewolves cried and retreated because the intense fire from the dragon's belly was fiercer than any other, and would cause great damage on whoever it touches.

One of the werewolves that were fighting fell out of the pack that ran towards the same direction, all crying as they had been subtly burnt.

There was a chest of smoke as King Archer and Bernard transformed back to their human form and walked into the smoke.

Their eyes flashed with satisfaction when they saw a werewolf on the floor. It was Mr. Daryl. Mr. Daryl was dead.

''He got that coming anyway. He was too scared of being alive.'' Bernard said as he cleared the smoke from his face.

King Archer did not say anything, instead he looked to the werewolf that fell out to a corner and was watching them.

''Oliver, did you set us up?'' King Archer asked Alpha Oliver with suspiscion.

Alpha Oliver's eyes fell. Of course, he should have seen that coming. So Mr. Daryl followed him from the Sudden Fang Pack to the Dragon Kingdom.

Alpha Oliver felt sad for letting King Archer down.

''I didn't.'' Alpha Oliver shook his head and hoped that King Archer would believe him.

''Indeed.'' King Archer stared at Alpha Oliver with darkness in his eyes.

''Where's Eidenel?'' King Archer asked, still staring at Alpha Oliver.

Alpha Oliver heaved a tired sigh.

Realizing that Lord Blackhouse had taken Eidenel, Alpha Oliver looked away from the Dragon King. He knew that if King Archer did not kill him at on that day, he would eventually use him until Alpha Oliver preferred death over being alive.

''My King, Blackhouse, the Vampire King. He has taken her.'' Bernard decided that it was the best time to step into the conversation.

King Archer chuckled with sarcasm.

Did he hear correctly?

Lord Blackhouse, again?

''Oliver, did you do this?'' King Archer asked Alpha Oliver.

''No. How can? Well, the answer is no.'' Alpha Oliver tried to maintain poise.

''So, tell me, how did you know the way through my kingdom via the route you came in with?'' King Archer refused to let Alpha Oliver know that he had entered the Dragon Kingdom through a secret route.

''I just followed my instincts. I literally followed Eidenel's scent. Trust me, I could never do something so dishonourable. This clown, Drayl...'' Alpha Oliver pointed at Mr. Daryl who was on the floor, burnt to death.

''He must have followed me from the pack and found out where I was. I have a strong feeling that he went to get the vampires to help him penetrate your kingdom, thinking that he would get to Eidenel before the vampires. That's what has happened. I sewar, I didn't deliberately show him to your secret passage.'' Alpha Oliver pleaded with King Archer.

Well, Alpha Oliver could plead as much as he wanted, but the bottom line was that he had made the secret passage of the Dragon Kingdom porous, and any man could enter and attack King Archer directly. There was no way King Archer could accept that type of development.

Moreover, Eidenel had been stolen from him yet again.

''I'm sorry, Oliver, but I have to put you under arrest until I get to the bottom of this. Ask for my secret passage being revealed to the werewolves and vampires, I am yet to come to terms with that. I don't know if I will be able to sleep with my eyes closed in my own kingdom because just anybody can attack me now. You see? There's a lot that has gone wrong. Bernard, take him to the dungeon.'' King Archer felt sorry for Alpha Oliver, but if he dared to let Alpha Oliver go free after what had happened, it will be questionable of him.

Alpha Oliver understood King Archer's position clearly, and did not make a move to resist arrest. Bernard personally took Alpha Oliver away to the dungeon.

''Well, I think you are lucky that the dungeon has just been rebuilt, so it's not as grotesque as it would have normally been.'' Bernard whispered to Alpha Oliver, acting friendly with him while he carried out King Archer's instruction.

''Take him to the royal dungeon.'' King Archer called out behind Bernard.

''Okay, my King.'' Bernard bowed.

The royal dungeon was made different and separately from the general dungeon. The royal dungeon, just as it's name implied, was meant for distinguished prisoners, and it had an apartment attached to it.

Infact, the royal dungeon was just another apartment in the king's court, the only thing that made it seem like an actual dungeon was that anyone who entered there was a prisoner, and had no freedom to move about.

Alpha Oliver was taken into the Royal Dungeon, and was locked up without anyone knowing where he was.

''When will I be out of here?'' Alpha Oliver asked Bernard on his way out.

''I don't know, young Alpha. I only take orders from King Archer. But I will come here everyday to visit you so that you don't feel lonely. You are a good man.'' Bernard walked away after he finished speaking, leaving Alpha Oliver in his new home.
