Chapter 696 - Ruby in the Egg Part 1 (1/2)
Rhys followed her mother's car back to their house. Then, he helped his baby sister upstairs to her room. She's been discharged and she felt very lethargic and once that she entered her room, she ran to the bathroom and started vomiting. Concussion.
”Baby sis, do you need anything? Anything at all?” Rhys asked as she vomits inside. His mother and entered and helped her by gathering her hair and rubbing her back. ”I'm going to [email protected] kill those [email protected],” Rhys mumbled.
Casey went to the sink and wash her mouth with the mouth wash. Freya turned to Rhys.
”There's no human being in there,” Freya said. ”It's full of armors, robotic and it's operated from far.”
”Say, what?”
”There's no human there. It's just armored and I think that hacker set it up there for a very long time, waiting for the target. They put a chip on that bus and make the other bus unable to operate. Since the bus that they take has been long in the keep safe. They have no choice but to use it.”
”Oh, but we send cars instead…”
”We can't take the cars because we also found ch.i.p.s on it,” Freya said. ”When we find out that the bus has been taken from the garage, we already know that something is up. Someone put a chip in that truck so that the machine waiting there could detect the chip and destroy it.”
Freya helped Casey when she's done. She escorted her daughter to bed.
”Ask your dad to prepare Casey's meal.”
”Okay.” Rhys left and went downstairs. He reached for his phone and called Raiden. He answered after a few rings.
”Ey, what's up?” He sounded like he just gets up.
”Well, our sister and others have been ambushed. They are injured but not that fatal.”
”What?” Raiden exclaimed and he sounded fully awake from the other line.
”Yeah. But don't worry. Do a good job there. I won't bother.”
”Damn.”
”What is it, honey?”
Rhys covered his mouth. Raiden is with someone and sleeping with her.
”My brother,” Raiden said. ”Go back to sleep, darling. I'll be with you.”
”Sounds like you are with someone?” Rhys asked. He heard clasps and then Raiden probably left the bed to get privacy.
”Yeah, she's an amazing person. She's an artist… so…” Raiden sighed. ”Well, tell me!”
Rhys explained to him everything about what happened.

Zendaya stared at the Easter Egg and then, she removed it from her neck. She started trying to pull things and click things. There's this odd alignment of gems so she twisted it and then it moved. She twists it again and again until it made a clicking sound and it opened.
Zendaya gaped as a ring is tucked in there perfectly that the Easter Egg molded it. There's this round ruby with two little diamonds at each side. She lifted it as lights reflected the ruby and diamonds. She put it on her ring finger and it fits perfectly.
”Tim,” Zendaya tried hard not to cry. She came out of her room and Aria looked up at her.
”Oh, you found it,” Aria said when she eyed the Easter egg in a half. ”Nice ring.”
”Aria, what do you know?”
”Well, Tim set up something and I can't tell you that. The most important thing is Timothy. He is held captive in his family's Château.”
”We'll go there right now.”
”Great.” Aria stood. ”Get your suit on.”
”I don't need to.”
Zendaya is wearing a red dress with a pendant of the Dragon Empire. Then, she's also wearing a high-heels that Timothy gave to her.
”Yeah, we'll just go there.”
Zendaya put back the Easter Egg and then wear it. They left the hotel and their car is waiting outside with black cars. There are also escorts. The people on a motorbike stopped a few cars as they left Paris to the Château of De la Fontaine.
”Zen, please, don't try to get killed or kill anyone,” Aria said. ”Calm yourself.”

Timothy stayed in the bed and staring at the glass window. He doesn't eat or drink. He just stayed there while thinking of a plan to go back to Zendaya. But he's sure that Zendaya will rescue him. It's just very odd that his Queen is going to rescue him not the other way around.
The door opened and he didn't even glance. Then, it closes.
”I'm sorry.”
He slowly turned to hear that familiar sound.
”Emma,”
”I'm sorry for everything. The mess and five years ago when my friend drugged you. I was just forced to do that. I have no choice.”
