"Why is Prince Keane taking so long?" Roxanne asked worriedly,
Her words drew an unease feeling that made her whole body tremble. She's worried sick of what might happen to Luna if Prince Keane still hasn't found her. Prince Gabriel glared at Roxanne, wanting to comfort her but he knows he shouldn't do it. He might have just followed prince Keane to find Luna. too. But he has to protect Roxanne, though it was never part of the agreement. But seeing Roxanne flustered as ever is enough reason for him to just stay by her side to protect her if someone tries to harm her.
He felt something and whispered the words, "They'll be back soon...trust me,"
In just a few moments, someone appeared from behind them. A man with a look of satisfaction written all over his face carrying a beautiful sleeping woman in his arms in bridal style. He smiled deviously,
"She's tired,"
Roxanne ran towards them and quickly looked at Luna's condition. She was only sleeping. A tear escaped her eyes, "I-I thought--"
Prince Keane looked at her, "Nothing bad happened to her, Roxanne,"
She looked at him with ease, "Thank god..." she said as she wiped her tears,
"I don't know what you told her, but I'm definitely not gonna let her stay with you, shameless jerk,"
A voice came out of nowhere as they saw a man standing behind Prince Gabriel, as he noticed it, he hurriedly shifted to a fighting stance,
"Brother, no need to worry about that weak fox,"
Prince Gabriel looked at him, "You know this guy?"
"I just kind of bumped into him, you know," he answered with a teasing tone,
Lance instantly cursed him in his mind. He looked around the place and saw another lady with them,
"You must be Roxanne, right?"
Roxanne blinked three times before she answered, "Y-Yes,"
She's in shock by the man's beauty, she really has no idea who he is or how he knew her even her name. She blushed. Prince Gabriel immediately cleared his throat,
"We have a cape here for Luna," he suggested, "Oh, right. she must be cold," Roxanne added,
She went to the horses and pulled out a cape from one of their bags, she went towards Prince Keane who was holding Luna, and covered her to get warm.
Roxanne sighed, "Who are you, exactly?" she said as she turned towards Lance's direction,
"I'm Lance, Luna's brother," Roxanne's eyes immediately widened, "Brother? You must be--"
"But not her biological brother," Keane smirked,
Roxanne then continued, "You told her, am I right?"
"It's because I had to, and eventually she will always find a way to find out about the truth,"
Prince Keane laid Luna down and sat beside her, "But telling her this early could affect her worst, knowing about her true identity is hard enough for her, and these burdens kept on coming to her--"
Lance cut him off, "Don't talk like you know her," he said in a serious tone,
"She's been through a lot, and I've always been there. She survived every last of the hardest circumstances in her life while growing up. So stop involving yourself with us,"
"The wedding ceremony that is about to be held next month must be canceled," Prince Gabriel spurted out,
With that being said, Keane sighed, "tch, whatever,"
"Wolves..." Lance whispered as he glanced down at the ground, "Because of them the family clan of foxes went extinct," his hands turned into fists, Gabriel and Keane just glared at him, probably ready for anything if he tries to do something that crosses the line, he's a Nine-tailed fox, after all, He gained the full power of the Ninetails.
He glared at Keane daringly, "You can never be with Luna because it's the fate that you can never defy,"
Keane stood up, "She's staying with me, no matter what,"
"Keane, it's pointless. Let's just let them be," Gabriel said as he was about to walk towards Keane,
Keane has a devious look in his eyes, "Take another step, I swear I'll never forgive you."
He looked at Lance seriously, "I promised I would be the one to protect her, and I always keep my words. I will protect her and keep her by my side, even if she's our clan's mortal enemy, I don't know but I just don't care about that anymore. She's staying with me even if it means fighting against someone like you... someone who's pretending to be her brother. A brother who wishes to hold her as a lover?"
Gabriel saw Lance smile as Keane told him, "Keane, just stop it!" he felt something bad is going to happen if this continues,
"Your big bro must be the smart one, isn't he?" Lance smirked, He brushed his hair with his hands,
Lance chuckled, "Do you want to know why you can't be with her, shameless jerk?"
"If it's because of the war between our clan and the foxes, then it's useless--"
"You're wrong, Keane." Lance smirked, "It was a miracle that I survived since the war between the wolves and foxes, The truth is, there was a signed agreement of treaty between the clans. But the wolf clan can't accept the fact that Foxes are much stronger and special than them. So the wolves attacked us by surprise, at night, when all of us were sleeping peacefully. My parents hid me underground and cast a spell barrier so that the wolves won't be able to find me. I heard my mom screaming and crying, while my dad's blood is dripping on my face. I'm one of the special kinds of fox that was left because I inherited my father's blood, A nine-tailed fox. I'm part of the branch family,"
Prince Keane's hands slowly turned into fists, Lance continued,
"The Head family clan of foxes, which are all Nine-tailed foxes, were the first ones to be brutally murdered, they're our King and queen, including two out of three of their daughters were murdered. But the thing is, their first daughter, who fell in love with the king of The Vreecs Kingdom, chose to live in the Vreecs Kingdom and built a family. As the first daughter of the Nine-tailed Fox King and Queen, her child is the only descendant of our clan. The late King left a letter under a spell that tells that the descendant's fate is to only kill the Mackenzie wolves and their whole clan as justice for our clan's innocent lives."
Keane cuts him off, "Just get straight to the point and stop beating around the bush,"
"We're just getting started, Keane."
Gabriel spoke, "Who's the descendant?"
"The late King and Queen of the Vreecs Kingdom were killed because of the power that their child holds, this child shall be killed, as she will, someday in the future will put an end to the wolf family clan, with this reason, the late King and Queen sacrificed their lives for the child, this child was adopted by a normal family man who lives here at the Magle Kingdom, she was raised by them and was treated like a real family,"
Prince Keane and Gabriel's eyes widened.
"The Descendant child of the Head family clan of foxes is no other than Luna,"
