[-In the Dungeon-]

{Level-3}

​​

Dripping water and deafening silence were echoing all over the dungeon.

Dark …

Cold …

Automatically the torches started to light on its own due to the authorized presence of Prince Alcyd.

If there were unauthorized presence within the dungeon, the torches would not light itself at all.

Mia, the resident witch of King Viktor, put a spell on the each torch to only light in the presence of an authorized individual.

Compared to other level of dungeons, the cells were not rusty.

There were bed and own basic necessities within each cells compared to {Level-1} & {Level-2}.

When Prince Alcyd reached a certain cell.

"Big brother Alcyd, is that you?" curiously asked by the familiar voice.

"Shiveena?" Prince Alcyd could not believe the sight of his younger sister.

Princess Shiveena was wearing plain clothes and looking strange.

She knows that it was her older brother but she looked like as if she could not see at all.

Then it dawned on the Alpha Prince of the Golden Moon Pack … Princess Shiveena could not see at all.

"What happened to you?" Prince Alcyd asked his younger sister.

Full of concern and worry were painted all over his face. The Alpha Prince felt pity for the first time towards his younger sister.

"It's long story, big brother. Many things happened when you were gone. Father, decided to side with Alarick and treated us useless due to the problems we caused. I could not accept that the person caused most of our misery would be crowned as the heir to the throne. I was punished and lost my sight." Tears started falling from Princess Shiveena's eyes.

"We will get you out of here." Prince Alcyd declared.

"You can't, father punished me to be imprisoned until he orders for my release. Please, big brother! Do not add to my sins. I know I caused all of this. If only I waited patiently for you and did not become hasty with my decisions. Things could have gotten better and not like this. The others got hurt because of my failed plans." Tears would not stop falling from Princess Shiveena's eyes.

Regret was the only thing Princess Shiveena could do.

She was stripped off with any authority and title due to her last attempt to go against with Prince Alarick despite the orders of their father to be on peaceful terms.

The princess' older brother could not bear the sight of her being too pitiful.

His grip on the steel bars became too tight. The Alpha Prince decided to destroy the steel bars which signifies the confinement of his younger sister.

Right before Prince Alcyd could implement his plan,

Prince Alarick, the oldest son of King Viktor, appeared.

"Do not even dare letting her go, Alcyd! You will only worsen her sins." Prince Alarick warned his younger brother.

"I dare you stop me!" Prince Alcyd issued a threatening aura.

The oldest son of King Viktor flinched at the threatening vibes and the aura which Prince Alcyd just released.

Since Prince Alarick was also an Alpha, he was not that affected but his retinue fell into their knees due to the effect of Prince Alcyd's,

>>

It does not only intimidate lower-ranking werewolves but it also destabilizes the functions of the lower-ranking werewolves. The weaker or lower the rank of the werewolf then it may cause fainting or disorientation.

Theo stood firm in his position and prepared himself for any possibilities. He knew that Prince Alcyd was set in freeing Princess Shiveena.

And he was right, Prince Alcyd used his full strength and destroyed the entire steel bar.

Prince Alcyd threw the huge steel bars entrance of the cell of Princess Shiveena and threw towards the direction of Prince Alarick.

Good thing, Prince Alarick caught the huge steel bars before it can hit anybody.

Their younger sister could hear her older brother, Prince Alcyd, approaching close to her.

"Who caused this for you to lose your sight?" Prince Alcyd wanted to know what happened to Princess Shiveena.

His younger sister did not answer immediately, thinking carefully of the words to say.

"Our father gave the order to Mia … And she cast a spell that blinds my sight." Princess Shiveena confessed to her older brother.

"Do not worry! We will fix this … Where is Ranku?" there was a hint of anger in his voice.

Princess Shiveena noticed the sudden shift in Prince Alcyd's mood so she hesitated before telling to Prince Alcyd regarding the whereabouts of Prince Ranku.

But in the end, Princess Shiveena had to tell their older brother regarding the whereabouts of their youngest brother.

"All I know before they sent me here, he was held in the level-2 dungeon. He was punished as well, hundred lashes and 30 days of starvation in the dungeon." Princess Shiveena responded to Prince Alcyd's query.

"Why was he sent there and not imprisoned here?"

"Because … I made him lead the breakout of Miryo from the isolation facility where Alarick wanted him to be imprisoned for no definitive details. Ranku was more resourceful and skillful for such task. Unfortunately, our plan failed." Tears started to fall again from Princess Shiveena's eyes.

She continued, "This is all my fault, if only …"

"Stop it! It is not your fault …" Prince Alcyd thought of their eldest brother who had schemed too much just for power.

The Alpha Prince furthered, "We will get them all back! I cannot promise with Miryo though. He is accountable for many crimes as well."

As they go out of the cell, Princess Shiveena was holding tightly on Prince Alcyd's arm.

One of the members of the retinue of Prince Alarick kept reminding him to stop his younger brother but he just smiled.

"Let him be … My plan is working! Provoking Shiveena into doing something drastic which would force our father to punish them. Since I knew that one of Alcyd's weak spot is our younger siblings, I specifically entrapped them into doing unforgivable crimes. And it would eventually lead to a tension between my father and his favorite son. For the first time, a royal clash between the favorite son and our king himself. This will be a showdown that our kingdom would never see coming."

All the members of his retinue were shocked by Prince Alarick's true scheme.

A sinister and victorious laugh was released by Prince Alarick.
