As Easton made his way towards the room where Noelle's supposed 'parents' were. With each step he took, he got angrier and more relentless, hating the fact that somehow these strangers found out that Noelle is back.
Once he reached the small but clean and organised room, he saw Victor and Theo both standing by the door awkwardly while the strangers sat on the the large sofa with hopeful expressions on their faces.
Sh*t, they do look like Noelle, Axel said to Easton, and Easton agreed reluctantly.
The man had the same brownish, auburn hair as Noelle, and the woman had the same golden-brown eyes. But looks don't mean anything.
"Nice to meet you, King Easton", the man spoke once Easton came into sight.
"Names please", he said bluntly after taking a seat. He wasn't hear for a nice conversation.
"Oh, uh, Michael and this is my wife Iris", he continued shakily, seeing Easton's tensed muscles and scowl scared the couple.
"And start from the top, how you know Noelle is here, and how are you her 'parents'", he ordered and Michael nodded at Iris.
"I'm a witch from Araceli, there weren't many witches back in the day so I was seen as rare and special. My power was the ability to detect where lost things are, including people. After I married Michael, who is a human, and had Noelle, Araceli disowned me, since I was an embarrassment to the Kingdom. We fled, as they threatened to kill our baby, who they saw as an abomination, so we ran as fast as we could. We left her in the woods, since we knew she wouldn't be safe in our protection. My powers were stripped away from me and we've been searching for her ever since. After 20 years of searching, we were lost, so we took the risk in going back to Araceli. Long story short, I got my powers back and found out she was here", Iris explained the whole, lengthy situation, leaving out the part about the contract out, not wanting to anger the men in front of them.
Easton was shocked. Her story lined up exactly to how they found Noelle, but he was still wary.
"I want a DNA test taken. Now", was the only few words he spoke.
"Of course, my king", Theodore said as he lead the couple to the hospital rooms.
After everyone left the room, Easton was left behind, with only his flooding thoughts to accompany him. He rubbed his clean-shaven jaw in anxiousness. He wasn't threatened, nor scared of the two, but he was worried for his beloved. Worried that the word will somehow spread and cause her to be in danger. He sighed at the thought of her being unsafe, but he'll do anything in his power to keep her safe.
He stood up suddenly, knocking the chair he was previously sat on down.
He had someone else to visit.
He jogged down to the basement, on his way he smelt Noelle's intoxicating scent but since he didn't want her to see him in this state, he continued his track, and assumed she was just in the room nearby. The guards instantly allowed him in. He was met with the usual, dead bodies, blood and dirt. Robinson was on the ground sleeping, one of his arms shackled to the grimy wall.
"Wake up princess", Easton yelled sarcastically, causing Robinson to gasp in horror.
"Sorry did I startle you? Oh well", he started, Robinson glaring up at him. "I needed a punching bag, I had a stressful morning", he explained with a sinister smirk on his face, as he proceeded to beat Robinson to a pulp.
Every punch.
Every Kick.
Every push.
Every pull.
