Chapter 24

It had been a week since Alissya had left the palace. During that week, Evan was never in the palace and was busy searching for Alissya's whereabouts. The woman disappeared as if swallowed by the earth. Even the man's friends searched for Alissya's whereabouts, but to no avail. They couldn't find the Gadk's whereabouts.

Evan entered the palace with a cold look on his face. No one wanted to talk to him, including his own mother. Since Alissya's departure, Crystal hadn't spoken to the children. She ignored Evan whenever she saw him. Evan realized his mistake and didn't make a big deal out of it.

"Are you going to keep it up, Queen?"Xavier asked while Crystal was busy with her work. Crystal was quieter than usual and of course Xavier noticed.

"What am i supposed to do then, God?"Crystal asked irritated.

Xavier took the book from his wife's hand and pulled her into his arms.

"I don't like to see you so sad. You deliberately keep yourself busy to avoid thinking about our son's problems,"Crystal sighed heavily and rested her head on her husband's shoulder.

"Have i miseducated our son, Lord?"Xavier quickly comprehended Crystal's words.

"Not at all! You're the best mother in the world. It's just that our son doesn't understand his own feelings. Derix realized his feelings for his mate too late. He made a misunderstanding that caused his partner to leave him. So it's not your fault, Queen,"Xavier's explanation made Crystal remember the moment Evan told her what had happened.

Flashback on,

Evan broke through the blizzard that had hit the demon kingdom. But that didn't make the man any better. He kept running. Fast, searching for traces of his dead.

'Evan, stop!'Someone's voice stopped him. He turned to see Xavier standing behind him.

"Come back right now!"Xavier ordered sternly.

"Not until i show up!"Evan said, glaring at his father.

"You won't be alone. We'd better look for him together, but not now. You'll only find all of us,"Xavier said firmly.

Evan, who heard it, groaned in frustration, if only he hadn't misspoken, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

"Shit!"

Evan immediately ran back to the palace with his father.

****

They soon arrived at the palace. Crystal, who had noticed the arrival of her son and husband, immediately approached them. Then some servants came to bring warm clothes and tea for them.

"Can you tell us exactly what happened?"Cellina asked curiously.

Evan rubbed his cruel face and then ordered,"it's just a misunderstanding,"he said.

"What misunderstanding?"this time it was Crystal who asked.

"When i was alone with her, Alissya suddenly asked me a question. She asked me if i loved her or if i loved another girl,"Evan had not finished, but Cellina cut him off first.

"You said you were in love with another girl?"Cellina shrieked in surprise.

"Tsk, let me finish my sentence!"annoyed Evan.

At that moment Cellina smiled, showing her row of teeth, and then rested in her husband's arms. Derix, who saw this, calmed his head when he saw his wife's behavior.

"I wanted to answer if i killed the girl who is now in front of me. But she only heard half of what i wanted to say,"Evan said, making everyone stare in disbelief.

"Turns out he's really stupid when it comes to romance!"Cellina growled.

Meanwhile, Crystal, who had found out what had really happened, immediately massaged the bridge of her nose, which felt very salty. How could he gave birth to a son who was very insensitive and could not show a romantic atmosphere towards his partner. But when he tried to say something romantic thing, everything immediately fell apart.

Flashback dead.

"What if Alissya doesn't come back and leaves our son?"link Crystal asked in a tone that was both worried and sad.

"That's not going to happen,"Xavier and Crystal, hearing the voice, immediately broke their embrace and looked at Evan who was standing in the doorway.

"Alissya will return to my arms,"Evan growled before leaving the room with an annoyed look on his face.

"I hope you're right, son. He was really afraid if Alissya left her son. He didn't want Evan to lose the only woman who was meant for himself. Maybe they would get along this time. But if they were separated forever, their lives would slowly crumble.

Evan clenched his fists tightly and pounded on the table in front of him. He was feeling very emotional right now. Losing Alissya was making him truly uncontrollable.

"Damn it! Why does it feel so sweet?!"Evan groaned as he held his chest, which hurt like it was pierced by a thousand needles.

Don't know when tears started to fall from the corners of the man's eyes. The man's face began to pale. His body shook violently. Not long after, the man's body fell to the ground. At the same time, Steve entered the room with a surprised look on his face. Steve immediately approached Evan and assessed the man's condition.

"What happened to you, Your Honor?"Steve asked worriedly.

At that moment, Steve told the judge to come to the room immediately. Steve moved Evan's body onto one of the couches in the room. A few minutes later, Crystal and the healers arrived with worried looks on their faces.

"What happened?"Crystal asked.

Steve bowed his head respectfully as he saw Crystal arrive. At that moment he told Evan everything that had happened.

Crystal immediately approached Evan and sat down beside him. She slowly spread her power and gave the energy to heal the child,

"Don't do anything, I'm fine,"Evan said in a weak voice.

"How can you be fine?! You're so pale, kid."

Damn!

Duarr!!

The sound of the explosion was so loud that everyone in the palace immediately came out to see what had just happened. Evan, with his weak body, forced himself to stand up and went to the window to see what had happened.

Her weak body forced her to get up and walk to the window to look outside. Just then, she saw black smoke coming from the forest near the palace.

"Who dares to trespass on my territory?"Evan's growl was stifled.

Just as Evan was about to leave the room, Crystal stopped the man.

"You can't fight him under these circumstances, son,"Crystal said worriedly,

"You don't have to worry, Mom, i can take care of myself,"he said as he let go of Crystal's hand and arm. At that moment, Evan ran with Steve to the source of the explosion.
