Silence enveloped the throne room. Melody's breathing grew heavy, and her eyes reddened with tears.
"How is this possible!? How could my son… be dead?" she screamed hysterically.
She collapsed and burst into tears. Aldrian was her only son, and she loved him more than anything in the world.
But now, he was gone. Reluctance, anger, and hatred surged together, merging into one overwhelming emotion.
"I want the culprits found! I want them dead!" Melody growled in a hoarse, terrifying voice.
Gulvar snapped out of his trance. His face turned pale, filled with deep sorrow.
His fists clenched tightly as he called out, "Alex, Eldrin, come here at once!"
Whoosh!
Two figures appeared beside him. Both bowed respectfully and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Gulvar turned to face them and spoke in a heavy voice, "My son is dead."
Those words struck them like a bomb. Their eyes widened, and disbelief flooded their faces.
