Had Alexander known that the fairies would react erratic and tumultuous the moment they heard the news about their Chosen's abduction and the possibility that dark magic was involved here, he would've just shut his trap and keep his own feelings from going berserk.
It just turned out that after a troop of imperial knights arrived at the studio to inform him of his apprentice's kidnapping and all the other details that conclude this terrible turn of events, he almost had an outburst. He was in a state of denial at first, thinking that nothing could have possibly gone wrong with the way he's working hard everyday just to keep her safe.
But then, something did go wrong.
Alexander felt his insides churn in apprehension and dread after learning the news. Considering that even a powerful magic wielder like the Duke's son failed to keep Lillian safe despite guarding her day in and out, it could only mean that their opponents are no ordinary criminals.
