KING IN THE NORTH
chapter 45 King Alzov

"Prince Artur, I didn't know you were coming."

Although surprised Gabriel saw the part to see his beloved prince .

"You didn't tell me you were going to visit" added King Alzov, who had just risen from his seat.

"Sit Artur, Gabriel just poured your favorite ginseng tea."

Even with his straightforward language does not mean King Alzov did not know Artur came for something.

Although Artur came without knocking on the door and ignoring his ethics, this time he tried to be polite by taking a seat in front of Al, opposite his round marble table.

"Congratulations to the birth of your son."

Artur only smiled, then deliberately turned his head to Gabriel who was still preparing a cup for him.

"Congratulations Gabriel, your grandson will also be married soon."

Gabriel dropped the teapot in his hand, the woman was very surprised by the name of the granddaughter that Prince Artur just said. Of course Artur knew Claire was Gabriel's daughter, even long before she proposed Claire Artur already knew Claire was the son her father took from a servant. Artur has convinced Claire that it doesn't matter to him, but she seems to feel that she's becoming more and more unworthy of the good of a Prince like Artur. However Claire considers herself only the daughter of a servant, her love for Artur is so inappropriate to achieve, that the pain eventually leads her to the wrong embrace.

"Sorry Prince, I'll make a new one."

Artur let the nanny go, because he wanted them to be just the two of them.

Artur was still staring at his brother, waiting for him to continue whatever he was writing, unfortunately the appearance of his calm brother still would not deceive him.

"Do you really not care at all ?

King Alzov is still unmoved.

"He will choose someone else, and I will still sue you for this mistake !"

Al stopped his activities and turned to look at Artur.

"Sure, I don't have to worry you'll always take good care of her, Artur." King Alzov is still as calm as before there is absolutely no emotion there, he has resumed his activities.

"Stop Al, I know what you've done for him, and I know he's not as simple as you're trying to say."

This time King Alzov stopped seeing Artur when he spoke again...

"Tell me why are you willing to go all the way to my place my brother? "

"You fooled me by sneaking in a girl's room, now I want you to pick her up and bring her here! "

Artur runs out of patience if he has to make small talk again.

"I heard that Prince Keive is also quite good."

Of course King Alzov knows everything, he chose to stay at his desk certainly not without reason.

"I'm surprised if you want it with someone like me."

Al right, they know the risk that Olive will have to bear in the end if that happens.

"You're right about that, but I'm gonna give up on Olive's happiness."

King Alzov smiled, "He can get whatever he wants."

"What if it turns out that what he wants is your selfishness?"

Artur had made him think for a while until King Alzov again shook his head slowly.

"What's your max Al !!!"

This time Artur got up from his seat, his muscles stiffened, realizing something had crossed his head.

"What's your max with a lot of time? " demand Artur, you will not remain silent until your suspicions are correct.

This time King Alzov was really serious when he looked back at Artur with his dark net.

"I had to, and I had no choice."

It seems Artur's suspicions have been right all along....

"Don't tell me you gave her your blood!"

Al hush....Artur knew he was right, "blood ties aren't something to play around with," even Artur himself didn't have the courage to do such a thing to Marra. "You've made it yours forever Al."

"I should have considered his opinion for a decision of this magnitude," Pure Blood was a bond that would not be broken even by death.

"Then you want me to take care of it? "

"You're the only one I can trust."

"Don't be stupid Al, sooner or later he'll know and... "

Oh... "and Olive will just hate you! "

It seems Artur just realized Al was right.

"Why then have you not appeared all this time Al. "no longer a question because Artur's voice softened to realize the impasse of his brother.

Indeed a difficult decision for King Alzov back then, Olive was just a human who would not survive after such an event. King Alzov chose him to live though the wrong way.

"He can do anything in his life."

New life that may still not be realized Olive, the girl does not know if someday her body will never change again. Maybe a witch like Latuza would willingly trade anything for such immortality, but for a girl like Olive, perhaps death would have been preferable to having to live a long life that she never wanted with the damned creature she hated so much.

"You think it can all atone for your sins ! "

"You can hate me too, Artur."

King Alzov recently learned a lot from forgiveness".

"I don't hate Claire or even her boyfriend, unfortunately things haven't changed anything."

"You're wrong, it's changed you a lot" said Artur, who seemed to have just realized the truth of his words.

King Alzov only looked at Artur this time, but he still did not say anything.

"I just want Olive to be happy Al, and you can still change her mind."

"We still have plenty of time if he really wants to be with me, you don't have to worry my brother."

Artur knew exactly how hard his brother's heart was but seeing the attempt to relent this time, it was truly rare.

"Listen Al, I love you, and you deserve it. Not because you're my only brother, but because I can see him even then!" artur asserted, he never blamed her about Claire, maybe Al just did not realize there was a part of her that was still warm in there.

Artur left King Alzov sitting without touching his cup of tea.
