Reincarnated to switch places with a princess (PART 1)

Chapter 41

In the middle of crossroads, four people found each other there.

"Alex!" cried Reius as he ran to hug Alexander. 

"Reius? What are you doing here?" asked Alexander as he looked at Reius in shocked. Silently wondering why everyone looked worse for wear. The same could go to Alfred who stared curiously at the final occupant, "The same could be said for you as well, Kevin."

Kevin was strangely enough here as well, much to the astonishment of everyone. His clothes and  gloved hands were stained with what seemed to be green goop. A knife in his hand was stained with the same substance.

"I came here to keep the idiot safe and just so happened to meet monkey boy over there." explained Kevin as he pointed to Reius, who was still hugging Alexander.

'How the hell did he find us, never mind I need to get monkey boy off me first,' thought Alexander as he attempted to wrestle out of the hug. Taking the nickname Kevin had given Reius as his own.

"Where in the world are we?" asked Alexander as he finally escaped from the embrace. 

"Or more specifically which direction should we go." said Kevin as he took a quick glance at the four paths. He found it odd though for some wonderful reasons on  how the four of them would be able to meet up at the same point. 

They shocked their heads. Suddenly,  a wave of pain hit Alexander. Hands on his head, Alexander dropped to the floor. Teeth clenched, trying to process the sudden headache. 

"YOUR HIGHNESS!"

Alfred was about to help his master up till the latter raised a hand. Informing him, not to help. Steadying himself against the wall, Alexander was once again hit with a another bout of pain however this time accompanied with a vision.

'What the heck is this' thought Alexander  silently as he stared into the mist. Eventually, they parted to reveal a familiar group of people in a church hall. Bound and injured. ' William!' Alexander wanted to shout but he couldn't as he stared at the limp figure on the ground. unconscious. A voice entered his mind, one he found strangely familiar, " You must hurry! before it's too late!" however before  he could say anything at all, the Vision was cleared out and he was backed to reality

(Alexander POV)

I had returned to reality. 

The pain was still in my head however the first thing I noticed was Reius's face just inches away from me. 

*slap!*

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?! I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU MOUTH TO MOUTH RESUSCITATION!" shouted Reius from across the room. A red slap mark across his cheek.

" I would rather have Alfred or Kevin performed that. Rather than you." I said, those words were probably but seriously, who knows what will happen.

Alfred was practically sparkling while Kevin had an utter look of disgust painted on his face.

'Ya ya, I get it. Don't worry I won't make you do it.' 

As the little comedy act continued, I noticed something from the corner of my eye.  A trail of  blue smoke. The reminder of that voice came back again. 

"Let's follow it" I whispered. 

Before anyone else could say a word, I quickly followed after the trail. The rest running right behind.

Everyone was sweating, however we finally made it. Right in front of us was a large door and there was...
