On hearing this, Rian instantly sprang up and left the room. The king shook his head and said
" Rufus, Royce , go after your younger brother " he ordered
" Yes father " Rufus answered but Royce grudgingly left the room
" You won't find her brother " Rufus shouted after him " We've searched "
" She's my wife and I won't stop looking " Rian said and disappeared
" Should we still go after him? , that idiot never listens " Royce asked annoyed
" It's father's command, we should obey " Rufus said and also disappeared
( The forest)
" Lily , Lily " Rian shouted, he was worried and the place was extremely dark, he saw the burnt trees. How on earth did the fire happen? He asked himself " Lily " he called again, extremely worried " I can't lose you, please " he mumbled softly
" Rian " Rufus called and when he had his attention he said " We can come tomorrow to keep looking. For now, let's head back home " he pushed his wheelchair until he was close to him
" Yes, we can come tomorrow. After all, she may be dead " Royce said and Rian speedily came to strangle his neck
" Look at you, showing your teeth " Royce said unperturbed by the position of Rian's hand, he was in pains but he did not want Rian to see it
" Be careful, or I may bite you " Rian said and dropped his hands " Mind your words, brother " he warned
" Are you threatening me? " Royce asked and scoffed
" Best believe it "
" Enough " Rufus shouted " You two used to be so friendly, what's wrong with the both of you? "
" Stop playing the hero, Brother Rufus, it's not nice " Royce walked away
" That animal " Rufus cursed. It was obvious none of his brothers respected him because of his legs
" You both can go, I'll stay and find Lily "
" Stop being stubborn "
" I said, I'll stay " Rian shouted
" If you wish " Rufus also disappeared . When Rufus got to his room, he was fuming, he looked at his legs and cursed .
" Rufus, are you alright? " Karina asked him
" I'm sorry " he said startling her, he had never once apologized " I'm sorry you have such an incompetent husband "
" What do you mean? I'm fine with this " Karina replied and he scoffed
" That's a lie, I get you're trying to say something to not offend me " Rufus scoffed again
" I'm sincere Rufus "
" Aren't you curious? "
" Of what? " she asked in return
" Of my legs and why they are like this "
" I am, but I want you to open up to me, I want to know if you can trust me with your secret " Karina responded and kissed him deeply . Yes she loved her husband regardless of his physical state. After the kiss, Rufus opened his mouth to say
" I wasn't born lame, my father and grandfather captured seers for using dark magic, it was not a simple feat . The elder at the time, pronounced a curse before he died, he said that my father's first fruit would be unable to walk for the rest of his life " Rufus stooped to look at Karina, she was listening intently to his story " so that's what happened to me, I would not be able to ever walk before I die "
" If a dark magic can cause it, then a dark magic can also undo it right? " Karina asked after giving it a lot of thought
" That's right but it has been banned "
Rufus said " we don't have a way to get the dark magic "
" Let's get you your legs Rufus "
