How would they be aware? What he did wasn't a good thing? He wouldn't tell them? His wife wasn't aware, his children weren't aware, the servants that were working for him weren't aware, and the knights working for him weren't aware.
They weren't aware of this one, and they weren't aware of the previous one he did. And as said before, he had plans of killing Aiden, but at the right time.
Once Aiden was gone, then Ethan would be so broken he wouldn't care about being a chief anymore, he might step down from political matters. He wouldn't care about it anymore, his son was dead.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| That was something Asher wanted, he was angry that Ethan was a chief. If Ethan was still a low-ranked one, he wouldn't have any problem with that. But the fact that Ethan made it to an average-ranked chief was still making him angry up till now.
..What kind of hatred is this?
But he was aware of one thing, apart from Ethan being broken when Aiden dies, he'll be really angry as well. He'd want to find out who captured and killed Aiden at all costs. At that time, Asher would try his very best to stay hidden.
He knew Ethan wouldn't suspect him easily 'cause he was his brother. He'd try his very best for Ethan not to find out he was the one behind everything.
They were still strolling toward the edifice, and by now, they had gotten so close to it. They reached the door of the edifice, then Asher opened it since he was the one in front, then all four of them stepped foot into it.
Aiden had been waiting for what would happen next, and this is what happened next...four people wearing masks stepped foot into the compartment. One was wearing a red robe, and the others were dressed in black with scabbards in their waists.
..The scabbards weren't empty, swords were in them.
And glancing at the three people dressed in black, Aiden had already discerned they were the ones that captured him. He didn't see the other two, he managed to see one before blacking out...but he had a feeling the other two were around.
..But actually, it was three that were around, they were four in total.
'Have they come to kill me?'. Aiden thought to himself.
He became more scared at that moment.
The man dressed in a red robe voiced out, as known, that was Asher.
"Young boy, how has it been tied to that chair? Does it feel uncomfortable?".
"Yes, really uncomfortable". Aiden responded.
"Don't worry, it wouldn't last for too long". Asher uttered once again.
..When he said it wouldn't last for too long, he meant something else.
"Who are you guys?". Aiden inquired.
"Sorry, we can't reveal our identities to you, that would be a really foolish thing to do".
"What have I done to deserve this? Why did you guys capture me?". Aiden inquired once again.
"You didn't do anything, you're innocent, but your father has done something in the past, and I really hate him for it. Let's say he didn't offend me directly, but different events surrounding our lives back then made me despise him then and even till now". Asher retorted with a stern look on his face.
If not for the mask he was wearing, Aiden would have seen the look on his face.
..This was just as Aiden had thought, the person that tried capturing him back then and succeeded in capturing him now was someone that despises his father.
His thinking was correct all this while. Glancing directly at Asher's face though he couldn't see his main face and didn't know who he was, he uttered,
"You were the same person that tried capturing me when I was a baby, right? You were the one that sent those assassins to capture me, right?".
Silence filled the room the moment Aiden asked that question, and these were the thoughts running through Asher's mind at that moment,
'How did he know about that? He was still a baby when that happened, he shouldn't remember it. Oh, his parents must have told him all about it as he was growing up'.
..But he had no idea that Aiden was an adult in a baby's body at that time, he was aware of everything that was going on around him.
Well, he was gonna give Aiden the answer he needed, he was gonna tell him the truth.
"Yes, it was me that tried capturing you when you were a baby, I was the one that sent those assassins to capture you".
Aiden wasn't that surprised by the answer, he was expecting it. He voiced out once again,
"You hate my father so much that even up till now, you are still capturing me? Even after all these years that have passed, the hatred you feel for him is still embedded in your heart?".
"Yes, that's how much I hate your father. The hatred I feel for him is something that would last forever". Asher responded.
Aiden sighed a little, then uttered, "So you don't plan on loosening this rope tied around me?".
"Not at all".
"Would you kill me?".
Asher laughed a little due to Aiden's question, then he said, "We'll see about that, time would tell. As for now, just keep staying here even though it's hard. One of these people here would come to give you something to eat and drink tomorrow,
And don't think about shouting or anything like that 'cause no one would hear you. It's complete dusk already heading straight to midnight. And apart from that, you're in the middle of a forest. This edifice has been abandoned a long time ago, no one comes here anymore. See you later".
And with that, Asher and the three assassins stepped out of the compartment.
'So I'll be staying here throughout the night? Hope nothing dangerous attacks me'. Aiden thought to himself.
And after that thought ran through his mind, he began thinking about who that person could be. He was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his face.
'The person really does despise my father, what has my father done to deserve this kind of hatred from him? Is the person one of the officials of this kingdom or one of the natives?'. Aiden thought to himself once again.
..He couldn't come up with an answer, so it was better he stops questioning himself in his thought.
He began thinking of how worried his family would be right now, especially his mum. And it would be even worse 'cause they didn't know if he was dead or alive. He could understand how they were feeling now though he wasn't seeing them.
'Staying here would be really tough for me, so I'll have to sleep while still being tied to this chair?'. Aiden thought to himself once again.
******
Nighttime had passed, dawn had arrived. Throughout the night, Emma found it hard to sleep, she kept on thinking about her son, Aiden. She only managed to sleep when dawn was already arriving.
As for Ethan, after about an hour of staying awake after lying on the bed, he dozed off. Emma didn't even want to go to bed if not that Ethan kept urging her.
It was morning once again, Ethan had already gotten up from the bed while Emma was still lying on it. And in minutes, Ethan had already prepared and dressed up, he was heading to the king's palace to report the issue on ground...that is his son going missing.
He was dressed in the blue-colored robe he was supposed to wear whenever the king summons for a meeting at the palace. The king didn't summon for any meeting, but since he wants to go report something that almost took place years ago, he decided to wear the robe.
Right now, he had summoned all his household together and told them he was going to the king's palace to report Aiden going missing. While he was telling them that, a gloomy expression was plastered to Emma's face, she wasn't happy at all.
Holding his scabbard in his hand, Ethan patted Emma on the back a little before leaving the house.
Right now, he had arrived in front of the king's palace. And he immediately came down from the horse he brought along and began sauntering toward the king's palace.
There were knights in front of the palace, but they didn't stop Ethan or question him while he was strolling toward the palace. They knew him as one of the average-ranked chiefs of this kingdom and even a warrior that is helping out this kingdom in many ways, so they didn't dare stop him.
Ethan strolled into the palace, and the moment the king sighted him, he voiced out,
"Hey, Ethan, you're here".
