"How many times will I say it I don't have anything to do with you." Yuki replied while staring straight at Silas with his swirling red eyes shining in anger.
"I won't take much of your time Mr Yuki, just a few minutes" he replied with a smile not being offensive at Yuki's words,
"What's it?"
"How are you related to Lady Kira?" He asked with a smile on his face.
"I'll be staying here for a while, that's all you need to know, as for how long that "while" is? I also don't know" Yuki replied then turned around to take the plates from the maid and return to his room.
'I'll find out eventually there's no need to hide it' Silas thought while watching Yuki walk over to his room.
------------------------------------------------
The forest looked still and silent and only the sound of the birds chirping nearby and insects crying could be heard when a huge warewolf suddenly ran across on all fours passing by like a phantom.
'Don't you dare touch Mary and Diana Nyx, leave them out if your bloody contest for the throne or I'll fight this with you to the very end' Robert thought while running across the forest.
Robert had been away from the wolf pack for four days before returning, to Yuki he thought it was all in a day but the distance from the Eastern continent where the pack was located and the northern continent where Stormguard university was located was huge and Robert had to run on full speed for two days just to get there.
Looking at the little town up ahead Robert slowed down his pace, he didn't intend to hide or sneak in after all, he knew they already captured his wife, he had little to no other choice than to turn himself in.
One of the guards at the town entrance looked at the huge wolf bouncing along the road and shouted "There's someone up ahead!"
The others turned their head over and asked "State your identity, why you went to the outside world and who gave you permission.... "
He suddenly stopped talking when the sight of the wolf towering above them came into sight with sharp claws and dark black fur with a huge snout, just a glance at it made them tremble in fear.
"A guard no, an high level guard!" One of them said while holding the flare tight in his hands preparing to call for reinforcements if things went offscale.
The wolves were supposed to transform back to human form when they were near the town, remaining in his wolf form even till that moment was definitely a cause for alarm.
"You're back" A voice suddenly came from behind the guards and they turned around to see a middle aged man walking over with a smile on his face while looking at the huge wolf who started transforming back into his human form.
When the guards at the town's gate saw his human face, they quickly dropped their weapons and made a salute towards him.
"Lord Robert! Forgive us for our incompetence."
The two remained staring at each other while the guards remained silent till Robert spoke up "Where is Mary and Diana?"
"They're safe and alive, won't be the same for long though, I'm not sure I can guarantee they will be. The Alpha is getting impatient." He said while looking towards Robert then walked towards him while removing an injection syringe from his pocket filled with a red liquid.
"Robert Silverclaw, you are guilty of betrayal to the Alpha by colluding with another Alpha, your offences warrant a death sentence, I would appreciate it if you don't make things hard for me." He said with a smile then raised the syringe in his hand.
The guards nearby looked shocked "Betrayal? Another Alpha?"
"Aeric, Does it look like I have another choice? If I don't go over what will happen to Mary and Diana?" Robert asked while looking straight at Aeric with deadpan eyes.
"I can't really say about that, you could figure that out yourself Robert." Aeric replied then injected the syringe into Roberts neck then pulled out an iron cuff and handed it to him.
"Put it on yourself, Nyx is waiting for you" he turned around after handing the cuff to Robert and returned to the town while Robert wore the cuff then followed after him.
Passing through the streets, the townsmen were surprised to see the Head guard of the castle in a cuff.
"Why is Lord Robert wearing a cuff? If I can remember, those who wear a cuff and are paraded round the town are usually sentenced to death or have committed an offence worthy of it." A townsman nearby said while looking at the proceeding entourage.
"Lord Robert has always been loyal and he never did anything worth of a death sentence, what could have happened?"
"Who knows, he might have been plotting things secretly."
Robert could hear all sorts of rumours flying around but he kept his head low and decided to ignore them.
"It doesn't matter, they don't matter." He muttered.

Back at the mansion, Yuki stood at the balcony watching the stars in the skies when Kira walked up to him. "It's almost midnight, when are we going to start the training?" She asked with an excited look on her face.
"Almost?" Yuki asked with a puzzled look on his face, "It's not even 10pm yet."
"Ah is that so? I thought it was almost 12 already, today seems so slow." She thought while looking up at the moon.
"And tell your little tail to not follow me, I hate being spied on." He said while looking at the mansion where Silas was leaning against the door.
"Silas?" Kira asked while turning around, she didn't notice Silas was following her all the while.
"I'm sorry Lady Kira but I'm not going to let you go off with a superhuman I don't know anything of." Silas said while staring straight at Yuki.
Kira turned to see Draven blocking the door to prevent them from leaving.
"Maybe if it was a normal human I'll still let it slide but definitely not a superhuman who appears out of nowhere and can avoid my detection."
"Silas!" Kira said while turning around to look at him. "Yuki's helping me with a few things right now and you shouldn't follow me, do you understand?"
"I can't just let you leave the mansion Lady Kira."
"This is an order from me, Kira Frostmoon, do you really want to ignore it?" Kira's voice made Silas pause in his steps, She rarely or never used the family's name for an order which made him even more convinced something was wrong but there was little to nothing he could do about it.
He turned his head to look at Yuki who was still staring back at him with a deadpan look on his face and said "Draven leave the door, don't stay out for long Lady Kira or I'll be forced to come looking for you myself."
"Don't bother, I won't be back till morning or so" she said then turned and left the mansion with Yuki behind her.
"What do you think?" Silas asked Draven who was walking over.
"She doesn't look like someone under a spell or hypnosis, let's just let it be for now, she's now 18 years old, she can be considered as am adult, let her be."
"Fine then, you all are making me look like a loser." Silas said then walked upstairs returning to his room, by morning I'll know what to do about this.
