J,"Come on Aiden, Dont tell me you fell for those words."
C,"Aiden....what's going on?"
J,"There's no way I'll let a prinsoner go.
Get him!". Few guards surrounded Colt and caught him all around.
A,"You said-"
J,"You too, cant runaway from here. You already joined the sabe soldiers. Anyway, Thanks for helping us with the location."
C,"Aiden....you tricked me?"
A,"No. Colt it's nothing like that-"
J,"He did."
✨Flashback,✨
A, "what if he really doesnt know?"
J,[shocked]
C,"Are you taking his side?"
J, "I apologies for his misbehaviour...."
C,"why dont you prove that he really cant tell where they are."
A,"...i dont understand."
Carson made a sign to Jeong that meant leaving. Jeong was quite shocked and curious to know why king Carson made him leave. Still, obeyeing the rules, he left.
C,"You two seem to have some trust issues. How about you do something to gain his trust and make him tell where they are."
A,"I apologise. I can punish him as a sabe soldier but...i cant betray him."
C,"Well then. If i dont find Rao and Stilla in few days, I might vanish him along with his full family."
Aiden was shocked. He at once kneeled and begged, "Please dont do this your majesty. I'll do anything to make him tell."
✨Flashback, Ends✨
In a field. The guards has captured Colt all around his arms while Jeong and Aiden staring at each other. Aiden in his disbelieve.
J,"There was no one else in that room. If the king himself denies it, How can you prove it to him.", Said it quietly enough that Colt couldnt hear it. He was still in the expression of betrayed.
J,"Best way is to forget him. Dont worry, We'll bury him somewhere peaceful."
Aiden was quite the whole time. But now, He unshethes his sword and Kills the two guards who were holding Colt. He then stood infront of him. The other guards made a movement while Jeong was enjoying the show.
A,"I'll show no mercy if you step any closer."
The guards tried to come closer but Jeong stops them in signal.
J,"what does your lover think about it?"
A,"what-"
A strong sound of sword getting unsealed was heard from Colt's side.
Aiden looked back and saw Colt holding a small yet sharp sword about his neck.
Before Aiden could make any move, Colt swings the sword and cuts down a deep part of his neck. The blood splashes all over.
A ran toward him. While he was still in his sense, He looked at Aiden in his dizzy vision. Gently puts his hand on his face. A's eyes went teary and he kept asking, "why.."
Colt shutters,"It's...not your fault...i've put you in this....mess. I ended up being the re...ason of...my master's death. I betrayed him. Protect them...Protect the rowans..will you?"
His hand fell off his face and landed on the ground. Everything went quite. Aiden hids his head away in Colt's shoulder.
Jeong showed a bored expression. "North Village Is where they hid. Let's capture them now.
As for you, Aiden. Since im highly debted to you, i wont mention any of these to King Carson. The prisoner ran away, We caught him and made him tell prince Rao's location. Later he killed himself in self guilt.That's all of it.
We'll depart now. You should be present too."
When all the guards left, Aiden went closer to Colt's ear and whispers, "I'll protect them. I shall live. For your last wish."
Later the guards attacked North village in Rao and Lora's absence. They came back and found Hannah and Alex dead cause they tried to save Stilla. Ren and Stilla got caught by The royal guards.
✨Now the other way✨

Lora woke up in Olive's bed. Even if the wound healed, she kept pretending infront of them. The medicines made her sleep all day. It's already a week since the incident happened.
She looked around and saw Olive staring out the window.
"what are you looking at?", She asked polietly.
Olive answered without looking back."It's red moon tonight.What a bad luck it causes."
Lora questioned, "Bad luck? Is it again with the rumors?"
Olive turned around with her full strenth to make her believe about the red moon's bad luck."It says that the red moon is the worst night of luck. Many people meets their death in this night. Whoever looks at it, expereinces the worst of it."
L,"We both just looked at it. what now~"
O,"I'll stay here until the morning."
L,"yea~whatever. Dont put your heart into it. (I too feel that something bad might happen...)"
