Chapter 154 - The King

Ander gazed at Royan with a lot of questions in his mind. He was curious about this father of his that made Royan so scared. The Phoenix paled like he had seen a ghost and moved away from Ander.

"Nothing as such is going on. I was only joking with you Razaan," he uttered coldly. The warmth that Ander was used to seeing on the boy's face was gone and all that was left was an indifferent face.

"Relax Royan, I was only joking too. Do you really think that I would smile while saying that man's name?" Razaan asked.

Royan's eyes went went wide with shock, Razaan had thought it was due to his words before he felt the change in temperature.

The room was so cold that his icy hands shook. He turned around and froze when he spotted his father standing right behind him..

"Whose name won't you say with a smile?" the king's sweet voice asked them.

Royan took his place beside the prince and held his arm. "Greetings father in law," he greeted to the king.

"Why are you being so formal. Come give me a hug," the king said to him and invited him for a hug.

"That would be nice but my fiancee here hates it when I get close to other male, including you," Royan said to him. "But your other son can get a hug from you," he added.

The King turned his head and looked over to the side, seeing a look alike that resembled his son. His lips stretched into a big smile. He made a move and grabbed Ander by the hand.

"My son," he cried out and hugged him tightly in his arms. His eyes teared up as he hugged him. "You are my new favorite person in the world," he said to Ander.

"I...umh.." Ander was left speechless. From the way the two reacted, he had expected him to be a grump with a cold personality but what was before him was the opposite of it all.

He was confused why the two heated him when he was so cute. He returned the hug. It was nice to have a person call him son without expectations on him.

They had just met and the man was so nice. It made him smile, it was the opposite of Alex and Francis.

The King broke the hug and turned around in a rush. A servant that had brought them tea collided with him spilling the hot cup of tea on him. The cups of tea fell to the ground along with the snacks.

The king's white cloth was stained with tea. Royan held Razaan's hand tightly and turned his head to look away but Razaan prevented him from looking away.

"If you look away it will upset him," Razaan spoke to him silently.

"I am s..sorry my k..king," the servant said nervously.

"It's okay," the king uttered to him. "Come lets shake on it," the king suggested to him.

Ander felt happy seeing how nice his real father was. Any king wouldn't be so nice to a servant who has hurt him with hot tea. It was so surprising that he was going to hold his hand with a servant.

The servant raised her hand and held the king's hand. The King gave him a bright smile, the servant smiled back. In the next minute the servant turned into an ice sculpture before everyone.

He let go of the servant and turned to Razaan and Royan. "Put him up with the rest of them," the king ordered. "I will see your mother and return," the king added and walked towards the door.

He halted by the door when he looked down and saw his favourite cloth was ruined. He just couldn't accept the fact that the servant had done that.

He turned around. Royan tensed on seeing him coming back. He walked back to the room and went straight for the ice sculpture. He placed his hand on the ice sculpture of the servant he flicked his finger at the sculpture and it shattered into pieces.

"He would have looked ugly with my other collection," he said with a sweet smile on his lips.

Ander felt a shiver ran down her spine, the man had just killed a person without even so much as breaking a sweat. And what was worse was the fact that the king dared to smile happily after killing someone.

The King gave him another hug. "I can't wait to train you. By the time that I am done. You will be the greatest dragon in the while wide world," the king told to him.

Ander felt like running away. Just by being held by the man made his body ran cold. The fact was that the king's fingers on his body made him very nervous as he had no idea of the man will turn him to ice and shatter him like the servant on the ground or not.

The fear that he had felt for Zazel was nothing compared to the way he fekt for the man who was his father. He spike sweetly and had a smile on his face but that just made him more angry.

"You love me right?" the king asked him. He had no idea what to reply since he had just met the man. And more was the fact that their first impression made him feel like crawling into the ground and disappearing from existence.

"Too early to ask you that, but I will get my answer soon. I will see your mother or else she will complain that I only love my children and not her," he said and left.

Ander let out a breath he had no idea that he was holding when the king left. He felt like breathing in front of the king might offend him and make him angry to the point that he would think to kill him.

"You did good," Razaan said to him. "It was wise of you not to blink or look away when he shattered the servant or he would have punished you," the Prince added.

"The only reason that I didn't look away was the fact that I was shocked. He surprised me," Ander let out angrily.

"Good, remember this for next time. Never look away and never blink, if you do you might just end up killing the one who has upset him," Royan said to him.

Ander could only gulp, no-one was perfect in the world and he had his share of bad deeds. He had killed many people and was not in the position to judge the king but that didn't mean that he wasn't scared of the man.

A person who spoke with a bright smile and said sweet things but would kill without blinking was a crazy man. And he still was not sure if he was going to stay with them and choose to be with them forever.

His family was coming from the world to the BOST. The two families were going to be together and meet. He could only imagine what the mad king might do to his mother. He wanted for him to accept the king and tell him to that he loves him. He made it clear that he was going to get this from him.

He tensed as he thought of his family meeting the mad king. The queen was nice but she too was unpredictable in the small time that they had met. The queen was cold but seemed nice too but he couldn't put his hand on whether she was truly a nice person.

But judging by the man that she had married, it could go to say that she too was scared. It takes a mad person to live with a mad person and understand them. Since his fathervwas mad that could only mean that she was mad too.

She was beginning to feel that their family joining them was not a good idea after all. The

They had only recently met and had not interacted much with each other but it terrified him.

"Don't worry about them. The King is very hospitable to visitors," Royan said to him. "Your family is fine from him," he added.

Ander felt happy after gearing that but when his mind ran the question in his head a couple of times, it made him worry.

"They are safe from him but in danger from..?"he asked not sure if he had lost his mind or their really was a danger.

" That would be our mother. She is not going to be happy with anyone who is too nice to you know that she knows that you are her son," Razaan said to him.

"That makes your mother and everyone else in big trouble. Pray they don't shower you with affection in front of her," Royan advised. "Or they will become decorations of the BOST," he added.

Ander froze, he now got why the two were so scared. His whole family was in danger and he was not sure he could save them.
