Chapter 102: Suspicious of Nyx

Oberon walked through the halls, his brows creased together in thought. Where did Archi go to?

He had not seen him around the palace for a while and Nyx seemed not to be worried about it.

"Where could he have gone to?" He wondered.

He walked to the chambers and saw Risa lying peacefully on the bed. She didn’t seem worried at all and this made Oberon shocked and suspicious.

He walked to her bed, "Nyx?"

She looked up, "Yes?"

"Do you know where Archi is? I can not seem to find him."

Risa darted her eyes, she had not thought about Oberon searching for Archi. What would she tell him?

"He.. went out.. with Dora," she smiled.

He arched his brows, "Where did he go to?"

"He said he needed some fresh air, so I asked Dora to go out with him, so he is safe."

Oberon sucked his lips in and thought for a while, "Well, it is already dark, why are they not back yet?"

Her heart skipped a beat, ’Why is he asking so many questions?’

"Maybe they are back already, they must be somewhere around the palace."

"Maybe?" This was so new of Nyx, she was always around Archi and almost never left his side, what was happening all of a sudden?

"That is strange.. you do not know where he is at the moment? Why? What has gotten into you? You are acting nonchalant all of a sudden," he frowned.

"What do you mean by that? He must be with her. I am trying to rest, do you want my injuries to worsen worrying over him?"

He was taken aback by her words, "This.. is so new of you, what?"

She rolled her eyes and got down from the bed, "You are bothering me!" She attempted to walk past him but he grabbed her hand and drew her back.

"Explain to me right now, what is going on? Why are you suddenly different?"

Risa panicked but tried not to show it, "What? Leave me alone, you are hurting me," she whimpered.

"Answer me," he replied calmly.

"Leave me alone!" She pushed him away forcefully, "Ugh!" She screamed and stormed out of the room.

Oberon was in shock, he went after him not taking her silence for an answer.

"Nyx, come back here, answer me."

"Just leave me alone, stay away from me!" She yelled angrily and stormed off.

She was so angry that she did not notice Elena who was coming, she bumped into her and jolted back in shock.

"Nyx?"

Risa realizing she could make everything work in her favor, broke down in tears, "Oh mother!"

Elena was concerned, she held her hand, "Is something wrong? What happened?"

"I do not know why Oberon is bothering me, he even grabbed my hand and hurt me."

Elena gasped, "Why would he do that to you?"

"I do not know, " she cried.

Oberon came to meet them, he saw his mother and Risa crying.

"What happened here?"

"I should be the one asking you that. What did you do her?"

He looked at Risa, "Huh? What did I do?"

"Why are you being aggressive to someone who is recovering, what is wrong with you?" Elena yelled at him.

Oberon creased his brows, "Excuse me? Being aggressive to who?"

He looked at her, "What did you say to her?"

"That does not matter, what matters right now is your apology, apologize to her, she is the mother of your heir for goodness sake!"

"That is what.."

"I do not want to hear anything from you, apologize to her please."

Oberon looked at the both of them for a while and walked out.

"Oberon? Son?"

Risa was surprised that he did not apologize, "He.. did not apologize, mother.. he did not.."

Elena was short of words, "What has gotten into him?"

Risa was disappointed, "What.." she pouted.

"I will talk to him, just go and have some rest."

"This does not feel right all of a sudden, what has gone wrong again?" He squinted his eyes.

"Nyx is not her usual self, she does not seem worried, Archi is not in the palace and it does not bother her?"

"This is so strange and has a lot to it," he nodded.

He paced forth and back the room, "Who do I confide in now?"

He missed Mark for times like this, "Oh goodness," he held his head and sat down.

"Something must be done, if I do not try to find out what is going on, Archi will not be found."

He rang a bell, and a guard came in.

"Archi is not in the palace, I need you to assemble yourselves and find him, bring him back, go, find him," he ordered.

"Yes your majesty," he bowed and left the room immediately.

He bowed his head and sighed, "I must get to the root of this," he told himself, "It can not continue this way," he squinted his eyes.

The guard came back, "Your Majesty," he bowed.

"Yes?"

He raised up the bracelet Archi was putting on earlier that day.

"This was found in the basement," he said.

He frowned, "The basement? What was it doing there?"

"I do not know, but that is where I found it, this means, he must have been there too."

Oberon tired to sink that in, "Archi does not know about the basement, what did he go to do there then?"

He took the bracelet from the guard, "Thank you. Now, is there any way you could trace a possible suspect? I need to know who took him there."

"Your majesty, I do not think he is in the palace, someone must have took him somewhere else."

"So, he is kidnapped?" He stood up in shock.

"I believe so," he replied.

Oberon banged his hands on the table, "Find him! Do whatever you must, find him and bring him back."

"Yes your majesty," he bowed and walked out of the room.

Oberon tightened his lips, dangerous emotions flashing in his eyes.

"’Nyx’ has some questions to answer!"
