Chapter 17

I'm Falling In Love With You Ruthless (Part 1): "Please my King, I beg you to forgive my foolishness, I'm so sorry for coming into your palace." King Hound begged with everything he has, still holding Ruthless leg tightly. "I am not your King Hound but your Prince. I'm a Prince and as I am a Prince, I should always keep to my words. One of your eyes and your Elite Warriors," Ruthless said, "At least you should be happy that I am sparing your life and not killing you. If it was my father, he would have ceased you and your wretched kingdom" He added. When he called him 'Father' Galore smiled widely but his smile faded when he remembered something. Why can't Ruthless call him 'Father' in private? "I am so sorry my Prince, please don't do that to me." King Hound pleaded. "You should have thought about the consequences before trying to be a superhero," Ruthless said and used one of his hands to hold King Hound's face. The screams of King Hound pirecred the air. When Ruthless straightened up, he looked down at King Hound who was holding his left eye Ruthless had just ripped out with his bare hand. "Next time before you try to be a hero again, try to know the strength of your opponent, but this particular opponent you'd aimed, cannot be defeated. I am not boasting," Ruthless said. "Now get your sorry self out of my palace before I really kill you." He added. King Hound stood up to his feet in a shameful manner and left the palace with his head bent down in shame. Ruthless turn to face King Hound's twelve Elite Warriors and smirked. "My Spirits beast are hungry, very hungry and they haven't eaten for a long time. It's a very good day to make my spirits beast eat like king's," he said and started to whistle. Within a twinkle of an eye, the twelve Elite warriors started fading and soon they were gone. King Hound's eyes in his bloody hand faded. Ruthless breathes in then exhales, when he turns around, he sees his father, Queen Lati staring at him and behind them, hiding in the shadow, he sees Blue. Their gazes locked for a minute before Blue used his inhuman wolf speed to leave where he was. Ruthless sighed and made to leave before he remembered something, he bent down and placed one of his hands on King Hound blood, the blood started entering his body. King Hound blood which had litter in the palace compound when he was leaving all entered his body, in this way whatever power or strength King Hound has possessed has now merged with his own. One of his special abilities was stealing of powers with one touch. "You shouldn't have removed his eyes Ruthless," queen Lati said before Ruthless would make a move. "And also you shouldn't have intervened and took the disguise of your father to beat King Hound." She added. "Lati, that's enough, if you don't have any reasonable thing to say please shut up," king Galore said and for the first time telling his wife to 'Shut up'. Queen Lati stared at her husband in surprise, huffed out, and left them entering the palace building. "Leave us," king Galore said and all the whole guards present left them, giving father and son some privacy. "Thank you my son," Galore said once they were alone, "And thank you also for not killing Hound even though he deserves it." He added. "Don't call me your son Galore, I may have your blood running through my veins but that doesn't give you the right to call me your son." Ruthless told him. "I am sorry Ruthless, I know I did wrong in the past, but that's in the past, please let's start afresh again as father and son." Galore pleaded. "My mother died because of you, of a broken heart and it's because of you. You killed her." "I was scared and that's why I rejected her and the baby. I...I didn't know she would die Ruthless, believe me. If I knew I would have come back to Flower, I still can't believe she's gone forever," king Galore said, "I'm sorry, I wish I could tell her that myself." "It's too late for that Galore. I gave you an option and you choose one of them. You haven't been miserable yet. All this time that I have been killing people, your people, is because every time I see their faces, I imagine it to be yours. You won't die, I will make sure of it because if you are to die, I will be the one who will kill you, my face will be the last thing you will see before your death." Ruthless told his father. "I have acknowledged my mistake Ruthless, I did wrong to your mother, and I am sorry. I don't know why you still can't forgive me after all these years. I get along with Blue, why can't I get along with you?" He asked. "Because I am not Blue. Blue has it all, a home, a father and a mother, and me, I have none. I am just staying here to make your life miserable and once I kill you, I will go back to where I came out from." Ruthless responded coldly. "Then why don't you kill me now? I respect you a lot Ruthless I really do, but just know this, no matter how much you hate me just remember I love you and I am your father and there is nothing you can do to change that my son." Galore told him. Ruthless didn't say a word instead he left his father and headed for his room. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Prince Blue Room: "I saw you in the shadow son," queen Lati said as she went to meet her son who was standing beside his room window and was looking outside. She stood beside him and stared at the compound. Both mother and son could see Galore and Ruthless talking and after some minutes later, Ruthless left Galore for his room. "I feel betrayed mother," Blue said as he stared at Ruthless retreating figure and afterwards his gaze moved to his father's sad face. "How do you mean my son?" Queen Lati asked. Who has betrayed her son? She wondered as she awaits his reply. "How can he have so much power and I don't even have half of his," It wasn't a question but an accusation as if his mother was the cause. "I can't match him in a fight." He added quietly. Queen Lati understood the 'He' her son was referring to. "Don't ever compare yourself with that lowlife. You are the future King of the supernaturals and no one will take the throne from you." Queen Lati told her son. "I am not talking about the throne mother, Ruthless doesn't have an interest in ruling the throne, just answer my question and stop beating around the bush." Blue told her. "Are you fucking serious right now, 'Ruthless isn't interested in the throne' and what if one day he suddenly becomes interested in the throne? Don't fall asleep while others are awake. You have powers too Blue so I don't know why you are obsessed with him. He is different and so are you," queen Lati said. "And besides, don't belittle yourself, you'd be surprised when you realize you're stronger than him." She added. "Mother you don't understand, everyone now knows who Ruthless is but me the first son of King Galore is a nobody, no one knows me," Blue said with sadness. "Don't say that son, you are stronger than him." Queen Lati told him. Turning to face his mother. "If only I would have his powers, I would be the happiest person on Earth." He told her. "But that is like chasing a wind, it's impossible." "It's possible my son," queen Lati said and when she saw the surprise look on her son's face, she smiled. "Oh yes it is possible to steal all Ruthless powers, remember I am the daughter of the Witch King. There are certain old ancient region spells that have been abandoned by my people a long time ago. They are powerful and shouldn't be used, anyone found using it will be put to death." She added. "And you are sure it will work on Ruthless?" Blue asked. "Yes why not." "Give me an example of how this ancient forbidden spell of yours has worked." "You don't believe me son? Okay, how then were we able to capture all the whole spirits beast from the Nilela hands? The Nilela are the real owners of the spirit beasts and we stole it from them." Queen Lati told him. "Nilela? Is Nilela a kingdom or a name of a group of people?" Blue asked. "It's a long story but it's a kingdom and we were able to capture all their spirits beast, using the forbidden spell to do that, one of them who fell in love with a Witch of ours told us their weakness and we used it against them. We killed them to capture their spirits beast and also destroyed their kingdom," queen Lati said, "The spell can be used for different purposes, I will use it to steal his powers and give them to you. We just have to find his weakness or find out who his mother is so that we can be able to know where to strike. Your father won't tell me who Ruthless mother is." She added. "Okay, I believe you, but who are the Nilela?" Blue asked, curious. "The Nilela are the ones who created the gods, Zeus, Ares, Athena etc and I believe Ruthless is a descendant of Nilela."
