Chapter 182 - 182

"What did you just say?" Theseus asked and grabbed Joe from his collar. "If you're lying I swear...."

"I am telling you the truth. My clan has kept her prisoner for centuries. She is the last one from Allias' Tribe. An Avgee elf." Joe said. "I suppose you will want to rescue her. But don't cause any trouble. I will find a way to return her to you. Just don't cause a ruckus and hurt more of my people." He said and Theseus let go of him. His lilac eyes lost focus and he seemed to get lost in his own mind.

So there was someone left. A female. A girl. A woman who could produce an heir. An Avgee elf that if the royals found out about her they would force Allias to marry her and sleep with her to keep the bloodline going. No, that meant that he should leave Allias. He couldn't allow that. 

"Listen to me. Make sure no one else finds out about this. Don't ever tell Allias. Keep her." Theseus said.

"What? You want me to keep her? She is one of you isn't she?" Joe asked confused as he was trying to understand why he wouldn't want to save the last survivor of the Avgee tribe. "Oooh I know. She is a woman. She can give the King an heir while you can't. You are afraid he will leave you to do his duty. To keep the bloodline going. Funny. All that bullshit you said before about how strong your love is and now you tremble at the thought of a girl? That's ridiculous" he mocked him and Theseus raised his arm, helplessly wanting to hit him but right before he landed a punch his arm stopped on his own. His eyes widened as he finally saw the results of the failed spell. It was true, he couldn't harm anyone, even if he wanted to. 

"I will save her. Things now are complicated so don't say a word. Get her somehwere safe at a cabin or something and sent me a magical letter through Amelia. I will take her somehwere safe afterwards." Theseus said.

"Somewhere safe but not in the palace." Joe commented with a grin. "It's a shame. I can feel that Allias trusts you completely, seeing how he reacted but you...you are so insecure."

"You don't know anything" Theseus said, his teeth gritted and his hands forming fists on his sides.

Joe had no idea the fear he felt. The problems he had to face being with Allias concerning this matter. It was true, he was awfully insecure because he knew, he was fully aware that Allias was putting his position and his bloodline in danger while being with him. Not having an heir meant that the moment he died a power fight would begin. Theseus had managed to become king because the next in line was his brother that gave up the position but now if something happened to Allias they wouldn't just let go of the throne so easily. 

Even though he knew all that he wasn't willing to let go of him. He couldn't and he didn't want to. He had endured this pain for years and the relief he had felt knowing that now Allias, with his people gone would not have any doubts about children, would always burden him and make him feel like trash but at least they could be together. He couldn't let that girl return and ruin everything. Theseus would safe her, he wouldn't leave someone of his own kind in such fare but she would never set foot back home again and he would make sure of it.

"As you wish. I don't really think your plan will succeed though. I will message you when I secure her. With this my debt will be repaid." Joe told him and Theseus nodded. He didn't want to see his face ever again either and risk his secret getting out. 

"I will untie you and get Amelia. You will need to leave. Things might turn ugly." Theseus wanted him expecting Allias to wake up soon. 

"Why? What happened? " He asked but Theseus didn't answer. He just undid the rope and Joe stood on his numb feet for the first time after a few hours. He felt his whole body to be too heavy and when Amelia joined them, she was the one to pass his arm over her shoulder and help him out. 

"Do not ruin my house." She said and Theseus gave her a sad smile.

"We will try." He said hoping that once Allias woke up they would be able to transfer him without any problems. 

Theseus plopped on the couch exhaling heavily, trying to think a way out of this whole mess. So many things he needed to take care of and so little time. At the moment he was also powerless since he couldn't hurt anyone. He needed to resolve this one way or the other and fast because their bigger problem would end up being the King himself.

"Sooo I have something to say" Mark appeared behind him and looked at Theseus with a smile. He looked as if he had done something bad and was ready to confess. Something deep inside Theseus wanted him to not listen, just let it go.

"What is it now?"

"Well, you see. A powerful demon might be after me. Crazy right?"

"What?" Theseus shouted in shock and for a second he felt the urge to smack his head on the wall. When did he turn into a babysitter? All he wanted was just take Allias and disappear but no, he couldn't do that because someone was trying to hurt his children. He couldn't stop sighing today, he noticed and closed his eyes. 

"Yes, you see there was this situation where...."

"You fuckers! What did you do to me!" A loud and angry shout cut in, stopping Mark from finishing his sentence and Theseus immediately recognized Allias' voice. He had woken up and he was alone in the room with Ea and Ares. He immediately stood up and rushed inside.

Keeping Amelia's house intact would be harder than it seemed after all.
