ORION's Elixir (Book 1: The Elixir Series)

14. Double update!

On the other hand, Kyran is enjoying the royal treatment he is receiving not knowing his fate. They can see him through the monitor.

"That's right, drink all you want, bastard," Boy said.

Kith is clenching his fists. He is itching to kill him.

"Relax, bro. He will die tonight," CC said patting his brother's shoulder.

"Sis is right, bro. We will end him tonight," Zy uttered.

"We will get the justice we wanted," Jer said.

Kith look at them and smiled. "Yeah. We will tear him to pieces. He will regret being alive," he said.

The queen and the A-team are just watching them while drinking champagne.

Boy glances in their direction. "Kali didn't fulfill her promise," he said gaining not only his siblings' attentions but also the Elixir.

"Well, I'm glad she didn't come," CC said.

"Why not?" Boy asked.

Zy scoffed. "Idiot. If she's here, what do you think she will feel?" he said glancing at Kith.

"Oh~ right," Boy understood.

Jer just shook his head after looking at his eldest brother with his poker face. Kith just sigh. He has a reason for bringing her but it's not the time to tell his siblings about it. Maybe later.

They stopped talking when the queen stands up.

"It's time," she said.

Zed nodded and faces the Starks.

"Follow me," he simpered, and the siblings followed him. Ace is with them.

As they are walking, Zed is at the back. CC walks beside him.

"Is she really not coming?" She whispered.

"Wouldn't that be better?" Zed answered.

Nero sighed. "I don't know what's running inside my brother's head for bringing that girl here and for being with her in general,"

Zed just smiled at her. "You know your brother well, Nero. I'm sure he has a reason,"

"I know but- *sighs*

Zed pats her shoulder. "Let's think about that later and focus on your goal," he smiled.

They gave last-minute instructions before they left the siblings.

The Starks are left waiting for their cue. They can hear the happenings behind the thick curtain.

They glance at each other when they heard someone speaks through the microphone making the noisy crowd go silent.

"Good evening, everyone. Please welcome, the queen," the voice said.

The siblings can't recognize the voice because it is distorted. On the other hand, Kyran was amazed that the rumors about Elixir having a female don were confirmed. He is planning to take the role of the king.

Applause echoes the hall as the queen enters elegantly. Her face is covered but you can still point out that she's young. Kyran grinned.

"Gentlemen, I the queen, welcome you to this meaningful night," she starts.

The crowd is clapping their hands while Kyran is looking smug.

The queen raised her right hand to silence them.

"As you all know, Dark Star entered our kingdom without permission, and we don't tolerate such things, right?" The queen asked the crowd who answered yes.
