*2 hours earlier*
Not knowing where to look for them, the Florence men then decided to split up, Allen was assigned to the mountains, and he then decided to ask for his two best friends for help, rushing back to where they parted, and to his luck, the two are still there, conversing about something,
"Guys! I need you two's help!" He exclaimed, grabbing the attention of two guys, confused by their friend's panicked tone of voice
"Guys, my mom and sister are kidnapped" he informed his two friends secretly, cause the news didn't spread out yet,
"What?!!"
"Shhh!!!! Don't be too loud! No one knows it yet, and we don't know where to look, Father assigned me to search by the mountains, there are 3 mountains here in the kingdom, and we each get one" He told his two friends, who were listening to his words intently,
"I'll take the Holland Mountain since it's the farthest, you two are still weary from your travels," Luke says, as he then wore his cloak, and goes to his horse,
"I should go first, I'll report and rescue them immediately if they are there" Those were his last words before he immediately set off to the Holland Mountains,
Leaving his two best friends to figure out who'll take the two other mountains that are left, he passes by a bar, where Mino and Derek are waiting for him,
"Guys let's go!" He told them as he continued traveling, the two comrades then rode their horses, not asking any more questions, and followed the young Prince,
They traveled for 45 minutes, at full speed, and stopped at the foot of the mountain, the dark and scary mountain in front of them, which was the perfect place to hide some hostages, because no one would ever step foot there unless you were a brave soul,
"Is there something wrong, Your Highness? Why are we here?" Derek asked him, feeling creeping out as soon as he arrived at the area,
"The Duchess Of Florence and Lady Ariana are kidnapped," he explained as the two had their eyes widen in shock,
"Who would do such a thing?!"
"I applaud whoever the mastermind is"
The two exclaimed loudly as they continued to explore the mountain,
They then arrived on a three-way road, "Mino, you'll take the right, and Derek take the left" he ordered as the two subordinates nodded and the two then galloped their way to where they were assigned to investigate
The Prince then looked ahead to the creepy road of the north road, he took a huge deep breath and was ready to investigate the area, as he remembered Ariana's smile then
'I hope that you are alright, Aria' he thought as he then hastened his investigation to find one of the two most influential women here in the kingdom
*murmurs*
He halted his horse, as he heard something, he looked around and saw something that lightened just far ahead, he then went down from his horse and his horse at a distance by a dark area, he then slowly approached the area, hiding behind a tree, noticing that they are travelers, seeing lots of wagons filled with kinds of stuff
"Man, I never thought that kidnapping those Florence ladies is quite easy"
His ears perked hearing the words of the man, who was happily drinking in front of the bonfire, celebrating something,
"I know right? If it weren't for the big boss, we would've not done it, if it weren't for their special forces, taking down the Florence knights"
His brows furrowed as he already had the answer to why the elite Florence guards, were killed,
"I hear that the Boss would take the young girl's eyes, is it true that it'll grant eternal life?"
His brows furrowed hearing something unusual,
"Of course, it will! I mean the Big Boss' men, said so, they're never wrong!"
"Right! I even hear that those won't ever return to their noble lives as the Big Boss would turn them into prostitutes!"
The group then laughed loudly, then something inside him suddenly started forming, clenching his fist in anger,
'How dare they disrespect the Grand duchess and her daughter!' He thought as anger became visible in his eyes, he then pulled out his sword and slowly revealed himself to the drunkards, grabbing their attention and had their eyes widen recognizing him,
"What did you just say?" He asked them, the drunkards were shaking in fear as they could see how he slowly walked towards them, clenching the handle of his sword tightly,
"Where did you all hide the Grand Duchess and her Daughter?" He scarily asked them as he was ready to kill them 3, one then pointed out the shack in a distant place
"Thank you! I'll see you in hell!" Is what he last told the 3, before they could beg him for mercy, he sliced their heads off immediately, blood spilling around, even to his clothes,
Alarming everyone in the place, All of them charged at him, ready to kill him, but he easily killed them with one slice,
And one servant is smart enough to alarm the Sir who is debating with the Duchess, running as fast as he can, so that Luke won't catch him and kill him,
"Sir! The Tyrant Prince is here!"
He shouted feeling a sense of relief that he could be saved, not knowing when he felt something was stabbed in his stomach, he slowly looked down and saw the tip of the sword, blood then slowly dripped from his mouth
"Gahh!" He loudly shouted as he vomited blood, and was kicked by the Prince, who then walked over his lifeless body, he then walked towards the shack, and opened the door with force,
"Your Highness!" Both Florence exclaimed, seeing the Prince with his clothes filled with the blood of the people whom he just killed,
He is ready to kill whoever plotted this scheme and sees the face of the kidnapper, who is frozen in his place, he is ready to swing his sword to kill him,
That's when he took a glance at Ariana's innocent face, he gritted his teeth knowing that the young lady must not have witnessed so a gruesome scene, as she had stayed in the countryside most of her life,
"Are you two alright, your grace?" He asked as he slowly lowered his sword, and then gripped the man's wrist, who was still frozen in fear facing the Tyrant Prince,
"We're fine Your Highness!" Ariana responded, he then noticed the bruises on her body and her dress was torn, Anger was then again lit inside of him,
"I'll take care of him first"
The Man flinched hearing how venomous his tone of voice was, as he was forcefully dragged out of the shack away from the ladies not wanting them to witness such a gruesome state,
"You've got the guts to kidnap a Florence," Luke told him as he pushed him to the ground, the tip of his sword was now up in his truth, ready to kill him any moment,
"Who sent you" he asked the kidnapper, remembering he still had some questions that were left unanswered
"Do you think I'll tell you? Ha! You are wrong, Your Highness" The man still had the guts to be cocky even when he was on the brink of death,
"That's fine, I'll have my friend investigate this, it won't take long for me to know your true boss," he told him, as he then raised his sword ready to kill him,
"You'll never defeat us, Your Highness, you still haven't even found the alchemist who caused the death of Bulao village"
