Chapter 447 - Trouble

Vera felt the atmosphere inside the room became extremely heavy, so heavy that it was becoming hard to breath. She could see there was something dark which seemed to be leaking out of his body and his eyes dilating. What was wrong with him? What had provoked him to behave this way? Did what she said incited something dangerous to blow up within him?

She held her breath, waiting for what he would say next, never averting her gaze from those beautiful vibrant blue but coldly dangerous eyes. A thought just speared through her mind as she was looking at him. Why was it that she had to fall for this kind of dangerous man that had so much baggage it was more than enough to drown not just him but also her in it?

But before either of them could speak again, a knock echoed through the room. However, he stayed very still and only when another knock echoed again, he looked as though he finally snapped out of whatever muddle headedness he was currently caught up in and he swiftly pulled himself up to see who it was outside the door.

The heavy and suffocating air seemed to be cleared in an instant as he faced the door. "Get in." he said darkly, feeling a slight trail of irritability still running within himself though he was not sure why he was feeling that way.

A dark fae emerged from the door and bowed her head, greeting the prince. "Lord Kione sent me to fetch you, Your Highness. He said you need to come to the light fae Queen\'s room immediately. He said that it\'s urgent." The messenger was quick in delivering her missive and bowed respectfully to Gideon after completing her task. Once she was done, she saluted and waited patiently at the side for Gideon\'s permission to leave or other further commands.

The report made Gideon\'s eyes narrow. Now what was it this time? Why was it that there was just so many things coming up daily lately?

Gideon shut his eyes close for a moment as if to gather his perfect composure once again. When he opened his eyes again, there was not a single trace of the look he had showed to Vera just a while ago. He was back to the cool, calm, and composed Prince Gideon he usually was. Nothing could be read from his face that was as blank as a piece of unmarked paper.

"Go get something for her to eat." He ordered when the dark fae waiting at the side for further instructions blinked at him.

"For the Light Fae Queen, my lord?" She was not sure who the prince meant her to prepare the food for.

"No, for her." He nodded his head towards Vera and the dark fae understood his gesture. Gideon glanced at Vera and their eyes met.

He looked like he had something to say but after a few moments of not saying anything, he pressed his lips together instead of opening them. Then a dark smoke swallowed him, and he silently disappeared before her eyes.

When he materialized just outside Evie\'s room in the next second, Kione and Azrael were already standing there like they were guards. Well, Gideon did assign them to guard the light fae queen.

As soon as Gideon\'s gaze fell on Azrael, his eyes darkened, causing Azrael to lift one of his brows at him in question. Now what was with that level of animosity? He could only question himself as Gideon\'s gaze turned to the side and faced Kione.

"What is it this time?" he asked in an impatient voice.

"I think something is going on with your sister-in-law." Kione said with a serious face. "She\'s not waking up and she\'s been making some sounds for a while now."

"Sounds…??"

"I believe it\'s probably a nightmare." Kione\'s matter-of-fact tone explained his thoughts.

Gideon creased his brows as he looked at Kione with an \'are you kidding me\' look. "You summoned me here just because you think my little sister-in-law is having a nightmare?"

"Well, since you ordered that no one was to enter her room, I can only call on you to come check on her." Kione replied and Gideon\'s calm seemed to crack again. "She had made a mention last night that she was not feeling too good and the fact that she\'s yet to wake up at this hour, I think you should check on her. We can\'t afford to have anything happen to her while Queen Beatrice is asleep. She\'d probably skin us alive when she wakes up if…" Kione trailed off as Gideon was already rushing to open the door and entered the room.

However, the moment he stepped in, Evie made a small yelp and she sprung up from the bed as if being jolted awake.

Gideon stilled by the still opened door, looking at Evie. Her eyes wide and her silvery hair looked dampened from sweat. She was breathing so heavily as well, and she looked somewhat terrified as though she had just seen something awful. Seeing this powerful queen looking like this made Gideon\'s irritation immediately subside. What had she seen in her dream for her to be looking like she had seen something so horrific?

Quietly, Gideon walked straight to the table by the bed and poured water into the glass sitting there. He then picked it up and gave the glass of water to Evie as he sat down at the edge of the bed, looking at her with concern. Evie wordlessly accepted the proffered glass as she nodded her thanks to Gideon.

As Evie was drinking the water and calming herself, Gideon asked, "You were such a feisty and sly queen this whole time. It just I never would have thought you could actually get scared of nightmares." He commented lightly and a little teasingly as he took the empty glass from her and placed it back on the table.

But Evie did not seem to hear Gideon\'s attempt to lighten up the mood.

She suddenly grabbed onto Gideon\'s arm. "Listen." She said urgently. "Trouble… a very big trouble is coming." Her eyes were large and there was a severe light within their depths as she uttered those words that Gideon could not help but frown hard. Knowing that she was not the kind of person to fool around, he could not just laugh it off.

"Trouble…" he echoed, "calm down and elaborate on what you are trying to say Queen."
