Nazra tried to keep up with him but he moved very fast. It has been weeks since she saw nadin,her son. She was really bothered and troubled most especially with kim's disappearance.
Kim definitely has something to do with the disappearance of my son. She thought.
Nazra followed him in. She spoke loud as they walked Inside the huge sitting room.
"You played the wise, now look". She said aloud.
"Don't make it look like my fault". He fired back.
"Oh,but you're not blameless".
"And neither are you. What is your problem nazra?"
"I do not have a problem. Did i not tried to force the truth out of him but you were so understanding. Now look he's runaway. He had run out of guilt".
"He already said what he knew and you made him leave with your constant torment and words. C'mon nazra the letter said enough".
"And you think manservant Kim did not forge it".
"What do you think he would do with our son. Eat him or sell him into slavery".
Nazra paced back and forth. She was restless. "I want to see my son. I want to hold him".
"You never really cared about this boy, so why are you acting like this nazra?"
"Yes,I accept that. I never really cared much about my deformed son. But I am still his mother and all of a sudden I want to see him.
Kiran sighed.
"Sometimes I don't know what to do with you. He raked his coffee brown hair with his fierce hand.I will send spies to search for our son. Is that okay with you?"
Yes,it is. She smiled. A childish smile. "Thank you honey". She said.
"Now will you leave me be.
"I certainly will. She said and walked out.

The protector was indeed incredible and powerful. Brandon could not still believe everything he witnessed and experienced.
He rode quietly on his white horse.
The one whom they prepared so hard for just knocked them out like a paper.
Several questions probe his mind.
Nakir looked heavenly with his cold facial expressions and his wonderful jawline.
"Why was nakir in a human form? He thought.
"Will you rather go in peace or in pieces?" He remembered what nakir said.
"I am showing you mercy...mercy".
So I only exist because nakir showed me mercy. He thought.
He chose to let us go,he chose to not shred us.
Why did he had mercy on us?
Normally he should not. But why?
They would have lost their lives today,they would have died like a chicken because of sirocco. He was not enough to face nakir and he claims vain things,he claims to be sovereign.
"Why would you not say anything?" Brandon asked as they entered the palace.
"What do you want me to say".
"I don't know. But you do know that we could have died like a chicken,we could have lost our lives. If nakir had not had mercy on us...
"Well,thank your stars that he did". King malaa said.
"That sirocco, that you so trusted. He was trapped like a bird in a cage". Brandon said.
"I did not trust him".
"Yes, you did. If not why did you followed him there".
"Have you now lost it, son... I also want the treasure. Do you think I followed him for fancy".
"So,what if we were killed what would have been your gain,our gain".
"We were not killed. We are alive. Treasures don't come easily, you take it. You risk alot in the process son. That's how life is".
"Or we go in search of our own". Brandon said.
"That's the same thing, we went in search for it,but you see treasure hunt is not easy".
"So,why put our lives at stake ". He asked.
"Do you not understand what I say".
His own life was way precious to be killed like an animal. I have the throne,I could get me that beautiful maiden nakir sent. There's so much to live for. He thought.
"Yes,I do understand but know this father, I will never go with you on a death sentence journey. Not again and I need to get my royal ring back, I can put my life on the line for it, for it is my destiny". He maintained his voice tone. Even if his father is the king,he can still be punished for misbehaving with him.
"That is how I feel about the treasure too". King malaa said.
"No that's different. That ring is my destiny father,of course i cannot joke with it".
Liam eavesdropped on them. He listened quietly to all they said. He wants to know what happened in hills.
Sirocco had bid him to stay back at segund. Maybe he could not handle the protector. He thought.
"He was trapped like a bird in a cage". Brandon's voice echoed ears.
"What has become of sirocco. Curiosity filled his heart.
"I must find out". He muttered.
The voice of the first prince jerked him out of his thought.
"Sirocco has made a joke out of me... He said aloud. All of a sudden his heart burned with fury. "He purposely caught my royal ring to keep me away from the throne. That wretched old man". He cursed."He wants us to come for him,he took something that would concern me so I may go to the ends of the earth to get him out. Curse you sirocco".
"He was wise enough... The king said. If not I would leave him to rot there, in hell".
The magical painting...liam said. Oh, sirocco has been trapped inside there". He muttered.
"I must get it and free sirocco first from there ,so that I may in turn collect a reward from him. He scorned.
"A big reward I shall request for. This will be a breakthrough for me ". Liam smiled and left.
"What can be done now". The king asked brandon.
"Father everything must be done. I must get my royal ring at all cost. Two lives,five lives,a hundred I don't mind, this throne I shall ascend". He said with a vicious tone.
"This throne you will ascend son and your own son and even unto your tenth generation". King malaa assured him.
"We shall get a sorcerer to help us understand and tell us what to do next". Brandon suggested.
"I don't think any sorcerer will know much about the upper room dark objects.let do something. Let us find liam. He will know a thing or two about it".
"Good idea,father. This you have said I shall do for it seems right to me ".
