Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter II Chapter 41

Under the darkness of the night, Kevin walked towards the Tower of Judgment. Kevin was surprised by two gatekeepers who fell on the ground when he was not far from the tower. The two people were as if they had been attacked by someone. Kevin immediately ran over in a panic approaching them.

Kevin saw the two were still in a conscious state but no matter what happened, they were like in pain and unable to move like such a heavy burden was being overstimulated by their bodies.

Kevin ran and got closer but when he was closer to the tower. His hair suddenly stood up, his entire body goosebumps and his heart raced faster. It was not wrong for the two soldiers to be in what kind of condition he was seeing right now. His shoulders were suddenly pushed down hard and his legs were like they were bound by iron chains which made it difficult for him to move.

Kevin flinched for a moment before he could finally strengthen himself to move again. He remembered this feeling. Wasn't this feeling the same as back then? That's how he thought.

Something he had encountered while in the Vulture city, only this time it felt stronger.

"That girl.... Is it possible that she..?" He muttered and pulled the two soldiers onto his shoulders and pushed them away from the tower.

Sweat was pouring from the side of his head. Is pulling both so heavy and hard? No, but the Aura pressure he felt was like biting his soul slowly.

Kevin took a deep breath. With his Aura, he again approached the tower. Although the feeling of pressure was still there, but Kevin still stepped towards the door in front of him. When he opened the door, the pressure suddenly disappeared. Kevin breathed his leg.

"Alicia Lein Strongfort's...Is that maybe him?" He muttered as he climbed the stairs and looked up.

The silent passage of the stairs made the sound of his steps sound louder. The echoes of his footsteps were like adorning every corner within the tower.

How was he the last time they exchanged words? What was he like the last time they saw each other? His hands were sweating a little more than usual. Is this the demon king's tower? How could his legs have a sense of trepidation to ride. His mind was full of question marks and curiosity about Alice.

As long as he was deep in thought. Without realizing it in the end he arrived also in front of the door of Alice's room. He knocked on the door with his mouth.

"Please come in." Reply to the sound from behind the door.

A soft sweet voice. But Kevin doesn't really care, it's not the time to admire that. He steadied his heart to focus on one goal: to seek the truth, as his father had said.

After opening the door, Alice with a friendly smile greeted Kevin.

Kevin looked inside. The room looked dark, Did he sleep? What about that horrible aura?

"Hm....Greetings Your Highness Crown Prince, Prince Kevin." Sapa Alice while bowing herself. Then once again Alice welcomes Kevin to go inside. "Please enter the Prince."

Kevin's face looked awkward, and it could be seen that his ears were red. Although not so clear but Kevin saw a little if Alice only wearing pajamas only. "Miss Alicia... Your clothes..." He said a little embarrassed as he turned his face away.

Alice did not notice. He realized that what he was wearing right now was not very polite. "I'm sorry. I'll replace it soon." Kevin nodded and Alice closed the door again.

After waiting for a while. Alice opened the door. A bright room appeared after Alice lit the entire lighting lantern.

"Please come in." Alice kindly greeted Kevin even though her voice sounded a little awkward after what had just happened.

Alice hints at Kevin to sit on one of the chairs in the room.

With a little leftover snack he had he served it on the table. "Sorry, this is all I have." Alice said with an awkward smile and sat in the front seat of Kevin.

"no need. Anyway my arrival just wanted to make sure of something." Kevin looked at Alice seriously. "Is it really you who healed my father and saved the Queen?"

"true." Alice smiled faintly while pointing to the side. "You can see one of the proofs there."

Kevin looked towards the place Alice pointed. He was shocked when he saw a man lying unconscious. Kevin observed the man's condition from his seat. He did not think that the man was dead and what made him wonder again was that the middle-aged man was an advisor who had always stood beside his father's throne.

It's pretty awful. Kevin approached the body. The condition can make people who see it bite their fingers because of horror. His ears, nose and eyes were covered in blood that was still wet. Kevin turned around and asked Alice.

"What's really going on?" How could the king's advisor be here and moreover he's dead.

"He wants to kill me and he's not human. He's a pure demon race." Clearly brief Alice.

With a 'Huh?!' Kevin seemed to not believe Alice's statement. He turned around once again to check the man's corpse.

He was stunned when what Alice said turned out to be true. But how could the demon race be a royal advisor? Hasn't he been with my father for a long time?

Alice then raised her voice, interrupting all the conjectures Kevin had in mind "Most likely the real Mr. Berness had long since died, and then the Devil was the one who replaced him. In addition, he is also good at using mind control magic. It's possible that the people in Mr. Berness' residence are in his hands."

Kevin squeezed his head hair and sighed heavily. All that mystery and this incident really made his head hurt. The demon race had long been residing within the royal palace. They had also prepared an army in the depths of the Great Forest. The Queen and her mother, it seems, were also their work.

Kevin walked with his back feeling heavy. Then he sat back down. Kevin closed his eyes with one of his hands. He remembered what his father had said before, but how he had to face Queen Elizabeth after all he had done.

"Prince. If the rumors about you and the Queen are true, then I dare say that Queen Elizabeth is completely innocent of your Mother's death."

"Uh...I know."

I know that but how should I react to it?

Kevin still closed both eyes. He really lost his mind. His mother's death was something that took him so hard.

"I'm also sure that your Mother doesn't want you to live like this either. Queen Elizabeth is innocent and I want you to protect her."

Alice's words stunned Kevin. His mother and the girl in front of him said the same sentence.
