CHAPTER 60 : LOVED ONES
CHAPTER 60 : LOVED ONES
Alyssa sat on the bed, bored; she had nothing to do and was not permitted to leave the castle because
Loukas was concerned that something bad would happen to her again.
It had been one day since she had been locked in her room with nothing to do but watch television or
use her phone.
Alyssa was becoming irritated by the fact that she was still on bed rest, which caused her to groan,
knowing full well that this would continue until the perpetrator was apprehended.
“I will escape,” Alyssa said to herself as she stood up and quickly opened the bedroom door while
looking outside.
When Alyssa noticed no one was there, she quickly tiptoed and ran towards the hall so she could exit
through the front door.
Alyssa looked back to see no one when she unexpectedly bumped into someone and nearly fell back,
but she was caught as she looked up to see Jace smiling at her.
“What are you up to?” Jace inquired, laughing, as Alyssa huffed and replied, "trying to escape this hell,"
as Jace shook his head.
Jace spoke up. “You do realize that whatever Loukas is doing is for you, right? He loves you and wants
to protect you." while Alyssa shook her head.
“Love me or lock me in a room? Jace, I'm bored and irritated. I'd like to see Luna and see how she's
doing. Ronin took Juliet, but why can't I?” Alyssa inquired sadly as Jace responded, "Because Loukas
wants to be next to you, and even though he knows Ronin will protect you, he is still terrified of what
happened."
Alyssa sighed and nodded as she turned around to go to her room, but Jace caught her arm as she
turned around confusedly.
“Why don't I send Alex to your room and you can have fun with him?” Jace inquired, and Alyssa quickly
nodded her head happily, as she was bored anyway.
“Go to your room, and I'll tell Alex,” Jace said. Alyssa listened and did what she was told as she dashed Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
to her room, hoping not to be caught by someone else.
Alyssa knew that being caught by Jace meant nothing because he would never tell anyone or scold
her, unlike Loukas, who would lecture her for an hour just for going out for 10 minutes.
Jace went to his room and told Alexander to go to Alyssa's room, while Alyssa went to her room and
sat on the bed waiting for Alexander.
Alyssa waited for a while as a knock was heard after 10 minutes, so Alyssa yelled "COME IN" while
Alexander opened the door and smiled as he entered the room.
Alexander closed the door behind him as he walked up to the bed and sat down while Alyssa smiled at
him.
“What is it that makes you so nervous? “Sit comfortably,” Alyssa said, as Alexander sighed and did as
he was told.
“I'm sorry, I just sometimes feel like you, Luna, and Juliet would treat me differently,” Alexander
admitted as Alyssa giggled while holding his hand.
Alyssa explained, "Look, we're both royals, and to top it off, we're best friends, so why should we feel
uncomfortable? Just as I am a queen, you are a king, and we are both equal,” Alexander smiled
nodding.
“I'm sorry after what happened, it scares me as if the past will repeat itself,” Alexander said openly as
Alyssa looked at him with sadness.
“Hey, don't be depressed. The past will not be repeated. I'm not going to let that happen.” Alyssa spoke
while smiling at Alexander, who said, "I understand, but it still bothers me."
Alyssa asked, perplexed, "What do you mean, Alex?" Alexander sighed and replied, "I mean, this time
I'm not the only one in trouble. It's you three as well, and Jace has promised to find the person
responsible, but he also believes it will be difficult,” which made Alyssa frown.
“All right, but we have to believe in our mates.” Alyssa said as Alexander hummed and nodded.
“That reminds me, Jace and Loukas went to get Ronin and Juliet because something happened, and
they caught a guy named Nathanial who was there to hurt Luna and Juliet,” Alexander said, causing
Alyssa to gasp.
“Are they alright?” Alyssa inquired, and Alexander responded, "Yeah, they're fine, but Jace said Juliet
can give us the details later, but Jace and Loukas were actually looking for this guy," to which Alyssa
nodded.
Alyssa inquired, "Who is this guy?" to which Alexander replied, "Nathanial looks like a shapeshifter, but
shapeshifters do not exist, and he is a witch. He casts spells, and I heard he was exiled from the
kingdom,” Alyssa nodded her head.
“Whoever this person is, they are gathering all those who are either bad or opposed to the kingdom to
kill us.” Alyssa spoke as Alexander hummed in agreement.
“I agree, and it worries me because they can attack anyone at any time,” Alexander said, as Alyssa
nodded and replied, “Yeah, just like how Luna and Juliet were attacked,” as they held hands and stared
at the door.
“We might be attacked as well.” Alyssa whispered as Alexander nodded his head and asked, "What if
we get attacked right now?" while shaking in fear, just like Alyssa.
“J-Jace and L-Loukas are not here to protect us.” Alyssa expressed her fear, to which Alexander
responded, "Y-Yeah, but others are here, even the guards," as he, too, was terrified.
“Let us go see Mom and Dad.” Alyssa murmured as Alexander stood up and hummed while holding
Alyssa's hand.
When Alyssa opened the bedroom door and saw no one, she gulped. Her gaze was drawn to one of
the guards.
“Alex look,” Alyssa said, pointing to the guard as Alexander approached him with Alyssa behind him.
As the guard saluted, Alexander inquired, "What are you doing here?" He replied, "I was told to keep
guard." All of the guards are stationed in an area where no one can see them, but we can see
everyone clearly,” Alexander said as he nodded.
“But we saw you clearly,” Alexander said as the guard smiled. “I know, and that is because King Jace
and King Loukas told me to stand here so that if you both need something, you can find me,” Alexander
looked at Alyssa, who nodded.
Alyssa inquired, "Um, we're being guarded, right? No one can enter my room, right?” the guard
hummed as he replied. “Yes, no one can enter, and if you look down from your window, you will see
tons of guards,” Alyssa sighed relieved.
“Thank you,” Alyssa said as Alexander nodded and spoke, “Yes, thank you so much,” as they both
calmly returned to their room.
“Let's just wait for Juliet now,” Alexander said as Alyssa hummed glancing down the window to see so
many guards.
Alexander inquired, "Why now watch a movie until that time?" as Alyssa hummed happily while turning
on the television.
“Which movie would you like to see?” Alyssa inquired as Alexander paused for a moment before
pointing to the comedy film as they both watched the movie and waited for Juliet to return and tell them
what had happened.
*******
Alyssa and Alexander were watching a movie when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
Alyssa paused the movie while Alexander got out of bed to open the door.
Alexander opened the door to see Ronin and Juliet as Juliet entered the room sadly.
“Take care of her because she's still scared,” Ronin said as Alexander hugged Juliet and nodded.
Alyssa jumped out of bed and inquired, "I-Is Luna, okay?" while Ronin nodded and replied, "Yeah, she's
safe." Juliet will answer to whatever you ask because I need to go help, Jace and Loukas,” Alyssa
nodded.
Alexander and Juliet sat on the bed, Ronin walked away as Alyssa shut the door, and walked back to
the bed and sat.
“Are you okay?” As Juliet lay down on Alyssa's lap, she sniffed and replied, "It was terrifying seeing
how the other me knew everything, but I am glad Luna was there to figure out I am the real Juliet."
Alyssa cast a glance at Alexander, who returned her gaze and shrugged his shoulders, not knowing
what to do or what was wrong with Juliet.
“What happened?” Alyssa inquired, concerned, as Alexander hummed while holding Juliet's hand, who
sighed sadly.
“Well, Luna asked me to give her some water because she was thirsty and couldn't get it herself, and
the next thing I knew, I was dragged inside the restroom. I was terrified as that man grabbed a ring
similar to mine and suddenly wore it, looking and sounding exactly like me.” She shivered in terror.
Alexander stated, "That is terrifying," Juliet said, sighing, "and I couldn't even tell Ronin how that man
was the imposter. It was as if my mouth was shut and I couldn't say anything about it. He even knew all
of the answers "which perplexed Alexander and Alyssa.
“What do mean by 'he knew all the answers?'” Alyssa inquired as Juliet sat up and stared at her hand
“Luna, Draco, and Ronin were asking us some personal questions to see who the real Juliet is,” Juliet
explained. They asked me a lot of questions, but at the end, Luna asked me about her baby who died,
and only we knew because it was supposed to be a secret only royals knew,” Alyssa and Alexander
hummed understandingly.
“Yes, that is true, and it must have been difficult,” Alexander said, as Juliet hummed and sighed as she
lay down again.
“It was extremely difficult. When Draco told Ronin, I am the imposter," Juliet closed her eyes. "They did
this because they knew if they made one mistake, that guy who was pretending to be me would attack
Luna."
“Well, I'm glad you're both safe.” Alexander spoke as Alyssa hummed and said, "Yeah, and it was
difficult, but I'm glad it's all over," and Juliet smiled and opened her eyes.
“I am lucky that Luna thought of that question,” Juliet said, smiling as she stared at the ceiling.
“I just hope we can live a happy life,” Alexander said, while Alyssa hummed and whispered back,
“Same here.”
Juliet spoke up. “Oh, I just remembered, Luna asked me if Jace could help us,” she sat up quickly
again.
“What exactly do you mean?” Alexander inquired, to which Juliet replied, "Um, this may sound crazy,
but when Luna and I were talking, we thought about this and the person just doesn't want to hurt us
three, that person wants to make you suffer as well," to which Alexander nodded.
“Yes, I noticed that as well,” Alexander said, and Alyssa nodded, knowing it was true.
“Luna and I believe the main evil masterminds are Kim, Amy, and Sam,” Juliet said as Alexander's eyes
widened.
Alyssa inquired, "Are you sure?" Juliet quickly nodded her head and stated, "They did plan to kill us,
and perhaps this is the beginning." as Alexander said, “Could be true."
“Yeah, think about it this way: they don't want to be caught so easily, which is why they're telling others
who despise the royals to do the same,” Juliet said, hoping Alyssa and Alexander would agree with her
and Luna.
“They do have a point, Alyssa,” Alexander said as Alyssa nodded and spoke, “but Loukas, Ronin, and
Draco would never believe us or even listen,” Juliet sighed.
“I know they won't, which is why Luna and I thought maybe Jace could help us,” Juliet said, as
Alexander happily nodded his head and said, “Jace hates them for hurting me, so he won't say no,”
Juliet nodded.
Juliet responded, "Yes, and he has seen it before. He knows how sneaky those girls are,” as Alexander
looked at Alyssa and said, “Juliet has a point there. Jace despises Kim, Amy, and Sam, so I can ask
him to look into them in private,” Alyssa nodded.
“We should do that right away.” Alyssa said as Alexander nodded his head and said, "I can call him
right now," while Juliet shook her head and held Alexander's hand.
“No, he should stay with Loukas and Ronin for now, or perhaps until they finish investigating Nathanial,”
Juliet explained, as Alexander nodded understandingly and said, “Okay, until then, we can finish this.”
“May I join?” Juliet asked, smiling as Alyssa replied, "Yeah, sure, get inside the blanket," and Juliet did
as she was told.
Alexander, Alyssa, and Juliet sat quietly watching the movie, enjoying it and having fun, but deep down
all three of them were terrified of what would happen next.
