Prince of Darkness\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alfonso clenched his hands into fists, he was furious, but he had to control his anger and\u00a0<\/p>\n
bow his head. He bowed and said:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate Your Majesty\u2019s kindness. I regret having interrupted you. I will no longer take up your time, I will take my leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Alfonso could leave, Alessandro warned him:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDuke, I hope you keep your daughter under control. Although she was once my betrothed, Abril is my wife and my queen. I will consider an offense against her as an offense against myself, and you know the price to pay for treason.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, Your Majesty, I promise my daughter will not commit such impertinence to your queen again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope so.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Alfonso left the office, Gabriel said:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the duke might cause problems in the future. He has accumulated too much power and thinks he is superior to everyone. He only bowed his head out of caution, but don\u2019t be surprised if he betrays us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI already know that. In fact, he never supported me to be king; he supported Cassian, but things changed when he suffered his leg injury.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why the rushed ceremony to appoint Prince Cassian.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should keep him under surveillance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, send men to watch him and ensure he doesn\u2019t notice. I don\u2019t want to alert him. When all this war is over, I will deal with him personally.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alfonso left the king\u2019s office in a fury. He was so upset that he would have destroyed everything in his path if he weren\u2019t still in the royal palace. Blinded by anger, he didn\u2019t realize he had wandered off the path. He was about to turn back when he suddenly saw the princess of the kingdom of Laios. Upon seeing her, he felt as if something inside him was screaming for him to flee. Since he didn\u2019t have time to do so, he hid behind a pillar covered with vines that kept him concealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she passed by, his whole body trembled, and he nearly collapsed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<Prince of Darkness\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Abril walked down the hallway, she stopped for a moment, feeling as if her light magic\u00a0<\/p>\n
was reacting to danger. She looked left and right, but in the hallway, there was only the maid accompanying her. She thought it might be her imagination playing tricks on her and continued on her way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alfonso didn\u2019t come out of his hiding place until Abril disappeared around a corner. Although she had moved away, he continued to feel unwell and hurried to reach his carriage waiting for him at the entrance. As he entered his carriage, one of the servants accompanying him noticed his sweat and trembling and asked:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDuke, are you alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet me out of here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he reached his mansion and got out of the carriage, Victoria approached him. She had been waiting, wanting to know how things went, if the restriction placed on her entering the palace had been revoked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFather, how did it go? Did Alessandro revoke my punishment? Will I be able to attend the ball that will be held in a few days?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alfonso felt his head buzzing, he shouted at her angrily:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up, I\u2019m not feeling well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want me to call a doctor?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I just want to be left alone, let no one dare interrupt me, or I\u2019ll slit their throat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Victoria was very surprised as her father had always been very accommodating and kind to her. He had never yelled at her before, no matter what trouble she got into, he never raised his\u00a0<\/p>\n
voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alfonso stumbled to his office, and upon crossing the threshold, he slammed the door shut. Alone in his office, a shadow as thick as ink emerged from within him. That shadow writhed as if something hurt it. Alfonso didn\u2019t understand what was happening. Suddenly, a door appeared out of nowhere in a wall, and from it came a young man of about 18. He looked disdainfully at the shadow writhing at his feet and spoke with an impassive expression. The face of that handsome boy with reddish hair was an indecipherable mask. When he finally spoke, his voice was cold as ice, making Alfonso tremble. \u201cWhat is this? What have you done to the darkness?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alfonso bowed his head to the ground and responded with a trembling voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t done anything, Your Majesty, Prince Enzo. I just went to the palace, and when\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Pance of Darkness\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
Princess Abril passed by me, the darkness inside me shuddered, as if it was afraid of her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy would the darkness tremble at the sight of that worthless woman?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo took a small bottle and sealed the darkness inside, put it in his bag, and tossed him another small vial containing black stones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m giving you this, but make sure it doesn\u2019t happen again. My father will not be pleased if this happens a second time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alfonso took the small black stones from the vial and squeezed them tightly. A thick darkness emerged from them, enveloping him completely. Alfonso felt renewed, all his pain seemed to vanish completely. He bowed to Enzo and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you very much, Your Majesty, Prince Enzo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnsure this doesn\u2019t happen again, or you\u2019ll pay dearly for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo returned through the door he had entered and disappeared from the room. He appeared\u00a0<\/p>\n
in the throne room where his father, Vritra Venobich, was and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFather, I have visited Duke Alfonso Vampel of the kingdom of Cosset. The darkness that was inside him was expelled from his body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat cannot be possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I hadn\u2019t seen the darkness writhing at his feet myself, I wouldn\u2019t have believed it either. He said the darkness inside him started writhing after encountering my older sister at the royal palace.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that woman still alive?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems so, and apparently, she has gained the king\u2019s favor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard they will soon have a ball. Send them a small gift and observe everything that happens.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you wish, Father.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep a close watch on that woman, make sure to see what she does. She possessed no power. I would like to check something again, and ensure that the gifts you send go directly to her when they are released.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo replied with a broad smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
