Chapter 287 - 287

"Please save me. He will kill me." She whispered and Allias froze. She let go of the king in a hurry as the soldier finally reached them. She smiled brightly, concealing her terrified expression. "Please rest and call me if you need everything." Mira said before she left. 

"The room is not that bad." Theseus said as he sat on the king sized bed. It had silk sheets, colored in a dark green color while the sky of the bed had paintings of the sky and the stars. There were two nightstands on the sides and a boudoir made of heavy dark wood with an enormous mirror. The bathroom was spacious too, with a bathtub that could fit in three people, shaped like an egg. 

Allias sat on the bed, not paying any mind to the room, he didn't care about it at the moment, after he heard that girl, after he had seen her eyes, the terror in them while her small body shook. There was something terribly wrong here, and the center was this lord, this overly happy and excited elf. 

"Allias, I think there is something weird here." Theseus said and the elf king looked at him, interested in what he had to say. The white haired general had laid on the bed, his feet from the knee downwards were hanging from the soft mattress as he stared at the ceiling. "Don't you think is kind of weird they didn't know about us? Our relationship. I mean yes, the villages far away from the palace after the war were kind of distant but this lord, he is simply weird isn't he?" he asked his loved at looked at him. 

Allias was sitting on the bed too, looking at his lap, the white linen pair of pants and he tried to think. If he noticed anything, if there was something out of the ordinary. Those two soldiers definitely looked suspicious, following the lady of the house around like she was imprisoned. He scratched his cheek, kind of absentminded when he felt Theseus hug him from the back. He kissed his shoulder, his breath landing on the exposed skin, revealed by his loose shirt and he smiled. 

"Tell me. What's troubling that pretty mind of your?" The general asked him and Allias turned his head so he would face him. A slight sight escaped his lips and Theseus raised his eyebrow. "Say it."

"The girl, Mira. Just before she left she grabbed my arm and begged me to save her, she said that the lord would kill her. She looked terrified." Allias explained. Theseus let go of the king, Allias turning his body so they could see each other well. The general seemed to think too, his eyes focusing on the sheets. Allias waited for a while, giving him time to process things while in the meantime he took his hand in his and played with Theseus's fingers. 

"He is definitely weird. I mean, who smiles so much, his cheeks must be stuck by now." Theseus said and Allias chuckled. "Do you really think that girl is in danger?" he asked Allias and the king nodded. The general hadn't seen her expression but he had, the fear. He felt bad just thinking about it. "And let me guess, we have to do something about it." He told Allias and the king nodded again. 

"She is one of my people, I can't help everyone else and turn a blind eye when it comes to my own subjects." Allias told him and Theseus smiled. He moved closer and he kissed his forehead, making him smile.

"I know, you're right. I've been trying to think if there was something suspicious. If we missed something. Maybe it would be best to get to talk with that girl. If she asked for our help she would probably be willing to talk." Theseus proposed but Allias frowned. A deep wrinkle forming between his eyebrows. "What?"

"There are two soldiers following her around all the time. I don't know if it will be able for us to have some time with her. We would have to stage something. Probably during dinner?" Allias asked.

"Yes, yes we could do that. How about we grab the lord's attention, something that he will need his soldiers with and we make Ea and Ares take her away. Then we will teleport where they take her. I mean they might search for her for a while but no one will think something bad, probably." Theseus told the king. 

He was troubled. They didn't have that much time, they had to solve this mystery soon because tomorrow morning they would have to leave. They couldn't delay their journey any longer. He didn't want to cause such a big scene, he needed something discreet, they didn't know much about this so called lord, he could be really smart or plainly stupid, the shouldn't be taking any risks. The girl could end up losing her life like this. 

"I think we should have a different approach." Allias mumbled. "Did that man tell us where his room was?" He asked him and Theseus remained silent, trying to remember. 

"No, no I do not think so. Why?"

"We will ask for a tour of the house. Compliment the building, find a way. When he tells you where their bedroom is I want you to remember the location. Once you understand where it is you will teleport into their room, hide with your shadows and make sure no one knows you're there. If he is sleeping grab the girl and bring her here. We will talk to her as fast as we can and then you will take her back to her room. While we are dinning don't even look at her. For him to have soldiers looking at her every seconds it means he pays attention to her every move. What do you think about this plan?" Allias asked him and Theseus smirked. He moved forward and pinned the king on the bed. 

"I do like that sexy mind of yours." He said and Allias laughed. 

"Yeah, very sexy, sneaking into other people's bedrooms and kidnapping young girls." He said. 

"Well if you were interested in girls it could be really weird." Theseus teased him and Allias cocked an eyebrow. 

"Who said I am not interested in girls?" Allias asked him with a cheeky smile and Theseus' eyes widened. 

"You're not." He said 

"I am, I enjoy boobs." The king said and Theseus stared at him like he had gone insane. "Relax, relax, I am joking." He told him and the general sighed relieved. 

"Men look at you enough already as it is. I would go insane if I felt like girls were a threat too. Have some mercy on me please." He told him and Allias raised his head to kiss him. It was a playful kiss and the king cheekily bit Theseus' bottom lip. 

"I have eyes only for you." Allias whispered. "Haven't found such good abs in anyone else anyways." He said with a smirk and winked at him.
