Chapter 357 - Helpful Allies (unedited) (2/2)
”You majesty.” They bowed in my presence.
”Arise.” I said. ”Is Dimitri still sleeping?” I asked.
”Yes, your majesty.” One replied. ”The captain turned in for the night after you. Would you like us to inform him that you are awake?” He asked.
”No need.” I shook my hand. ”Let him get some rest. I will just take a walk by the shore. If anyone searches for me, tell them I am there.”
”I understand your majesty.” He replied. ”Have a pleasant walk sire.” They bowed once again. I nodded my head and left for the sea shore.
The surroundings are quite except for the calm waves washing by the shore. I looked out to the horizon and saw the glow that I am sure is coming from where Alicia was right now.
”My love.” I whispered my longing to the wind blowing by the seashore. ”I am so close but cannot even approach you.” My heart felt an ache from the longing for my wife.
*THUMP THUMP THUMP*
I heard foot steps running on the sand towards my direction. When I looked around, I saw a group of big wolves running towards my directions. They were lycans in their beast form. I recognized the two lycans in front, the gray one was Grey and the black towering one was surely Belgor. They all stopped right in front of me.
”What is wrong, Belgor?” I asked anxiously.
”Grey had just returned with news.” Belgor said. ”They have caught scent of Atlantians some miles north from here. It was an estate by the east shore with a small port. We have not yet made a move because we are not yet sure if these Atlantians are the one you are looking for.”
”I understand.” I nodded. ”But this is still a lead. It would be best to send someone to investigate quietly first, as to not alarm them of our presence.” I said.
”We can do that.” A voice from the sea said.
I turned around and saw Anatalia's head bobbing out from the waves.
”Anatalia.” I called out.
”I will send my sisters to investigate the small port and mansion you speak of. It will save us more time because we can move quickly in water and we can charm a few men to tell us what they know.” Anatalia said.
”That sounds better than interrogating people.” I said in thought, knowing that interrogation will also need some time that we do not have in hand right now. ”Then please, I will ask for the sirens help on this.” I asked solemnly.
”No worries Leon.” Anatalia said with a wink and a thumbs up. ”We are here to help.”
The sirens dived under the waves and were gone.
”So you also have an alliance with the sirens, I see.” Belgor said.
”It is something that just happened along the way.” I smiled innocently.
”Haha, I am afraid you have a charisma that attracts beasts like us.” Belgor laughed. ”I was right to follow my instincts and have you as a blood brother, I am sure you will do great things in the future.”
I smiled thinking that I am thankful having these ancient creatures at my side. They will be someone that are good to have relations with in the future. It is something that my children and their children after them, a good relations to have. It maybe somnething benefitial in the future, but I want to invest into this relarionship, knowing what it can give in the future.
”I am really thankful of all your help.” I said. Belgor grined, flashing his sharp teeth.
”They say that good things come to good people.” Belgor replied. ”I am sure that you are a good person, for having such good allies be by your side.”
”More like good friends.” I smiled back at him. ”Don't you agree, brother?”
”Hahaha, yes, yes.” Belgor replied. ”I have gained a good brother.”
