Chapter 82 - Not A Person Waiting To Be Loved

Till noon, seeing no traces of Emmy coming back to their courtyard, Alex went in search of her in the elder Miandrake's yard. On the way, he met Jordan who was gazing at Alex weirdly.

" Buddy, are you seeing me for the first time or what? Hey, stop circling around me and tell, have you seen Emmy with Janet."

" Alex, you won't believe it at all."

" Jordan, cut short what you want to say, you know right, I don't like being a curious cat."

Jordan circled around Alex one more time, then from his pocket, gave Alex a paper of newly drawn image. After looking at the image, Alex wanted to hit Jordan's head but as he was his closest friend, he couldn't dare to hurt this fellow who was jumping all around him.

Seeing Alex getting irritated instead of being surprised, Jordan took a look at the image again. Alex closed his eyes and sighed. What had happened to his intelligent friend after falling in love? 

" Alex, don't tell me you are not surprised at all after seeing this?"

Alex's last chord of patience snapped, he shook Jordan by grasping him over the shoulders.

" Jordan, have you gone nuts? I haven't seen Emmy from the morning and when I am enquiring about her, you are showing me my own pictures? What should I do with you?"

After being shaken violently, Jordan's eyes took some time to focus on his surroundings. When he heard Alex's opinion about those images, he felt excited.

" Look, you yourself couldn't recognise, then why should we blame the guards of our alpha squad. This is not you Alex, the man who came to visit the dark clan early in the morning showed our guards this portrait. He was asking whether any of them have seen the person by showing this paper to each one of them.

Only one of them dared to say that the person who he was searching for is the current crown prince of the Salian clan and the fiance of the only goddaughter of the dark clan. But as that man introduced himself as a person from core power, all the guards got shocked. The one who reported it to you fainted on the spot, isn't it?

Alex also remembered that instance when Galstorie entered the hall, yes, he had burned a piece of paper in his hands. So it meant, he came specifically for Alex but from his attitude, Alex didn't feel that he could be a threat.

" Jordan, he only mentioned that he wanted to find the queen of their clan but never once admitted that he came here in search of me."

Jordan then explained what the elders had concluded about the only possibility of such a person coming after almost two decades for finding their queen.

" Alex, I think, combining all the points in front of us. Your father might be the clan head of the Zucathore clan of the core power. The Supreme lord's direct bloodline, his only son. Janet told me that Emmy had a heated argument with the elders in the morning and she has been sitting with the girls after that."

Alex rushed to meet Emmy with Jordan. Upon arriving at the Lotus pond in the garden, he saw Emmy was lying down on Juliet's lap and taking a nap. On her face, there was happiness and her pink lips were like it was waiting for its lover to come and tease it.

Juliet felt as if someone was thinking bad about her, she turned to see Alex standing at a distance irritatedly. She looked at her lap and wanted to wake up Emmy as she didn't want to enter her brother-in-law's bad book but was stopped by Alex. 

In a very low tone, Alex said, " This calmness on her face is rare to see, let her rest for some more time." Saying this, he quickly gave space for the women and went to the lakeside with Jordan.

" Do you think the queen he mentioned is my mother, if so, where is my father and what connection does the Zucathore clan head have with the great lord? "

" Alex, before we think about that, we have to understand another main problem, the elders had mentioned that the supreme lord divided his power to create Sorceress and Enchantress but if he had a son, why did he create another two powerful beings and give them the whole clan. There are still some things which are hidden, we need to find those as soon as possible."

" Where should start from Jordan, my power who was supporting me till now suddenly turned to the opposition. Although I knew that the Salian king truly hated me but never did I think that he was never my father, to begin with. I can imagine his feelings when he was forced to marry someone who didn't love, but he did. However, how can he accept a child which was not his? And the elders even forced him to make the fake son the crown prince and the real son as a backdrop. No one can accept it and I am thankful to him in keeping me alive till now."

Alex finally broke down his emotional barrier at last, till this day he wished to know the exact reason why his father never liked him and always saw him with disgust. 

Just then Alex felt a strong hand over his shoulder, sensing the familiarity, Alex hugged the person and made his mind more strong.

"Brother, don't be upset over petty things. I will fight with you against this world if you want so, but I want my stronger brother back, please "

Watching the brothers support each other at times of their needs, Jordan was little envious but here once again it was proven that blood relations do not account for trustworthy companionship. 

" Brother, remember what that old housekeeper at the inn had mentioned of your father being alive, we have to start solving from that point of view."

Alex tried to remember the exact words from the letter that the old man wrote for him the day he disappeared, 

"No one will dare to question you here but beware the leaders may get furious if they come to know your real identity. Stay away from trouble and one more thing.. your father is still alive."

" Mike, do you think I should question that man who came from the core power directly?"

Before Mike and Jordan could answer Alex, they heard a voice from behind. The firm, decisive sound was enough for them to identify the person. 

" Thinking of me, young lad?"

Alex and Jordan looked at each other while Mike held Alex by his shoulders confirming his support. Galstorie looked at Mike and Alex, but he smiled because his master's son had a brother even if they are not related by blood. The same bond that was present between his master and that person.

" Mister, tell me the truth, who are you? I know you came especially in search of me, if you still try to deny the truth, then you may please return to wherever you came from."

Galstorie saw Alex's eyes filled in with curiosity but to achieve his aim and to avenge his master, he decided to keep quiet. He cannot tell their Zucathore heir that their whole family perished due to the feelings of unconditional love.

"Son, the famous Zucathore family was the core power once, the clan head who was called as the supreme lord was the evilest power anyone could have seen. He had only one son who was the exact opposite of this character, an innocent yet upright gentleman.The tragedy of the Zucathore family started when your father met the woman of the Yalasgue family and wanted to marry her. "

Suddenly Galstorie could feel a strange power from distance, he checked his surroundings and left in a hurry. Jordan and Mike did not like this man's demeanour at all whereas Alex finally knew who was his real father.

" Investigating without me, huh?"

Alex turned around to face Emmy who was looking at him angrily, he wanted to explain so much but no words came out of his mouth.

" Dear wifey, you were having your beauty sleep when I came, so thought of finding things on my own. Come, let me love you properly."

Emmy gave him a friendly punch but in fact, it hurt Alex badly. He raised his head to see Emmy was not at all joking.

" I am not a person waiting to be loved, as my life partner, do come and spend time with me please…."

Before Emmy could finish her sentence, Alex silenced her with his deep kiss. All their friends standing beside them blushed hard. Giving this intimate couple the space they need, others left the premises quickly.

Later, Alex explained the whole thing to Emmy and Emmy decided to tell Alex about the real truth behind the formation of Esbertrazian clan
