Chapter 92 - People Who Meant To Be, Will Always Be Together!

Ch-91

Present….. 

Cyrus sat beside his 'mother-in-law' and started eating breakfast! He was happy but when he noticed his brother-in-law's cruel plan he gritted his teeth. But very soon he will clear him. As if God heard his prayer, Old King Benjamin started questioning him. He smiled inwardly at Henry's bad luck. 

"Henry! How did you come out?" Charles Windsors asked. 

"Ah.. that… I… came out…. Hmmm…. Um…..," he started but he has no words. 

"You will be locked for ten days!" Old King Benjamin said. 

"What happened, Sir Benjamin? Why is the prince locked?" Cyrus asked innocently. He knew why he was locked. He planned to get him locked for a month! 

Muahahahaha he laughed evilly in his brain. 

"Because he was sick and didn't want to take a rest! So, the Old King forced him to rest by locking him!" Lia said as she took the lead. 

"Ohhhh…. This was the reason why in the middle of the night, Miss. Benjamin came back and joined him! I heard Miss. Benjamin was almost hit by a truck that night due to Prince's illness and sudden fainting. Are you both okay now?" he asked 'worriedly'. 

"What?! When did this happen!? Why don't we know it?!" Lia, Charles, and Charles Windsors asked immediately. 

"The very day Prince joined the hospital. That day, I heard if not for Princess immediate reflex, they would have crushed under the truck!" Cyrus said. 

The Old King knew they got into an accident but he knew it was a small accident. But he didn't know it was this serious. 

"Henry! You said it's a small accident!" The Old King asked. 

"Old King!! Indeed if not for my sister's immediate reflex We would have run into the truck! But even the truck driver stepped on the brakes when something was amiss! We are safe now! Nothing happened to us!" Henry immediately said as he defended himself. 

"Go learn driving again!" The Old King said. 

"James!" he called. 

"Ground him in the ancestor hall for a day! Teach him to drive! And train him SSS type training fifteen days!" The Old King said. 

"Yes, My King!" James replied. James is Old King PA. 

"Grandfather! NOOO!" he cried desperately. 

[Both father and son are so cruel! Both are full of tricks! I will make them pay soon! Sobs… sobs….] he cried as he thought about his situation. 

[These father and son are cunning! The kid made him a thief and child abuser! While father made him a murderer! Sobs~Sobs~]

[What if your sister marries him one day!] suddenly his 'inner self' came and taunted him! 

[What!? If that happens! I will die! I should try not to get them in contact!] he cried. 

[what can you do if fate decides? People who were meant to be, will always get together! You don't have a place to intervene or you have no say! Just like how Arthur doesn't mean to her! What if Cyrus really loves her and takes good care of her. While he is mean to you, will you still hate him?] his 'inner self' said. 

Henry was in deep thoughts as he heard his words. But why the hell his 'inner self' was supporting him. 

[Are you really my 'inner self'?] he asked. 

[Idiot! Even after your sister revealed me! You still didn't get me! Tsk... tsk… I am leaving, he said!] with that his 'inner self' left. 

[As she said, this is not his inner self but soul entity? But why would I be there with me?] he wondered in his brain. 

[Time and patience will tell you, Idiot!] the sound of his 'inner self' turned soul entity voice rang in his brain. 

Henry wanted to think more but he was pushed into the car and was locked. 

"Uncle James~ I am like your grandson! Please help me!" Henry cried. 

"Child! I can't help you!" James said with a sad face. 

"But child! As you Esther is still a kid! She went through a big hurdle. Everyone needs to pamper her, love her, and protect her! But you failed to protect her and almost put her life in danger! This made the king disappointed!" James explained. 

"I know! But at that moment! A picture of Esther being in one of our ancestor's clothes in my brain flashed as she fought with warriors! That sudden thing in my brain made me lose my consciousness! People will think I am a fool for thinking that!" he said. Even James smiled at him and continued to drive. But James decided to report this thing about Henry having illusions! These things need treatment! Gosh! He is the only heir of Benjamin's! 

Henry was sent to Ancestor hall to apologize to the late ancestors for failing to protect the young!

Meanwhile....

Lia was busy dumping the food in Cyrus's bowl. 

"Aunt! I am really fine! Please continue to eat! I think Lady has not started having her food! You should serve her too!" Cyrus said as he reminded the presence of this matter. 

Lia also gave food to sulking Esther. 

[Is she my mother or his mother? She has his eyes only on him! Not on anyone! Gosh! I am her daughter! Didn't she tell me that she only cares about me while she twisted brother's ears! Hmph! I will ignore her from now and will stay with dad!] she grumbled in her mind. 

How she could not be unhappy? 

Her mother! Her own mother ignored her! She cannot take it! 

Sobs! 

She wants to cry! 

She stabbed her plate as she ate her food. 

Cyrus smirked inwardly when he heard her grumbling. When he heard her without any care he felt like kissing the hell out of her! But it's a pity he has to control the urge! With the presence of her family, he controlled his urges. But he noticed something unusual. The old king Benjamin was trying to listen to his thoughts! How could that man hear them! In fact, Old King Benjamin is not seventy-five years old. He was thousands of years old. Because of the rules they have, he came here to live for a century. And in fact, when Esther was facing troubles with Arthur he didn't butt in because he wanted her to face things on her own. 

Sometimes we shouldn't protect people. When they are forced to fight for themselves they will know the pain and would realize how wrong or immature they are. But he didn't think she would be raped by him! If he has guessed he wouldn't let her face this! But on the bright side, she started awakening her soul. 

Infact…. Their clan was a martial arts clan! They were known for protecting people. But as days passed kings and queens lost their saviors and protectors due to aging. So, their clan was blessed with immortality. But it doesn't mean they will not die, they will die only in certain ways which were stored in Thalapatra Grandha! 

(Thalapatra Grandha: It's a book which was made from the leaves of a palm tree. In the Olden era many sages, kings, and scholars used those leaves to write and store things!

Pronunciation: Thaa-laa-pah-thra  Gran-dha!

In direct translation Grandha means book. Thala means = palm tree. Patra = leaves.) 

And those Thala Patra Grandha were stored safely. Only the king or queen of their family knows it. People who tried to know those secrets were killed brutally and set an example for those who tried and tried to access them. 

Only the Basilisk clan in Vyaghranakha has magical powers along with immortality. And after them only the Old King's clan has immortality. They can live as many years as they want. And they can die when they want. The other clans are normal. But they have a great history and their fair share of secrets. This immortality was the reason which caused the other three clans' dissatisfaction towards the other two clans. But what they can do apart from shutting their mouths. 

After finishing the food, Cyrus left not forgetting to remind Esther about his proposal. Esther blushed unknowingly but when she realized she blushed she was angry with herself and him. 

Esther waited for Reggie for another hour. She decided to do work in the home itself if he doesn't wake for that day. But he woke up after an hour. 

"Mom! I am awake!" he said as he ran over her and hugged her leg. 

"Hungry?" she asked as she ruffled his hair. 

"Nope!" he said. 

"Hmm… Dad came and gave you your medicines! If you eat them, we will go!" she said. 

"Okay!" he said and ate the tablets she gave to him. She was surprised to see him not complain about eating tablets. 

If it was before he would have complained about her death, she has to use a lot of tactics to make him agree to eat. Now… he was not even complaining. This thing shocked her. 

"Don't you hate eating them!" she asked. 

"Dad said, only cowards and useless people hate medicines! ME is not cowardly or useless!" the little kid said very seriously. 

At one point she really liked Cyrus with a single sentence he could make him eat the things he hated but she felt he was being too strict with him! 

When she meets him she needs to have a good talk! 

What wait! Why she was thinking of having a good talk with him! Sigh…. But it's for the sake of the child! So… maybe it's okay for the sake of the child.
