Honey : The Empire's Treasure 309 First Encounter 2

Ailwin called for Braeden on his comm, as he waited for him to pick up Ruven came running back into the office. As soon as Ailwin saw his face, he had a bad feeling in the pit on his stomach.

"Governor Kelim is gone…"

"What do you mean he is gone?"

"I went to his room but no one answered. I searched for his steward to see if he knows where Governor Kelim went, but he said after retiring to his bedroom he didn't see Governor Kelim again."

"Are you telling me I have a missing advisor and Governor?"

"...yes...sir."

Ailwin wanted out of this city. Things were just becoming one big mess that he couldn't explain and everything was giving him a headache. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Ruven…"

"Yes, sir."

"Send someone to the Bizana clan to help General Gilwenys and my men retrieve the panel board." Exhaling a deep breath, Ailwin relaxed against his seat and closed his eyes. He wasn't going to worry about Governor Kelim or this advisor "Gywennstri" for now. He was just going to focus on getting the d.a.m.n communications back up.

"O-outside? We-we-we can-can't go outside, sir…." Ruven was shaking his head back and forth as he backed away from the desk.

Seeing this reaction from the young advisor, had Ailwin believing he just asked Ruven for his left kidney.

"What is it now…?" Every single time they pa.s.sed one problem another one arose. Ailwin was so use to it by now that he wasn't even surprised by Ruven's reaction, more bored than anything.

"Once the sun goes down no one goes outside….those things come out…."

"What things?" Hearing that there might be something out in the city that could possibly endanger his men had all the indifference vanis.h.i.+ng from his voice.

"The monsters…."

Ailwin looked down at the tablet on the desk, then he remembered something Kaze said in his message to him.

King's men...secret mission...monster…

Ailwin closed his eyes, the pieces to this puzzle was all in front of him, but he still couldn't see the big picture.

"We didn't see any monsters when we went there before…"

"They don't come out until it's night. You won't be able to get anyone to go back to that estate tonight."

"My men are out there….I can't leave them there…" Ailwin was quick to call Braeden's wristband to alert him of the potential threat.

Braeden was still huddled down in his rover just waiting for something to happen.

*Buzz* *Buzz* 

The feel of his wristband vibrating startled him a little as his nerves were already tightly wound.

"Sh*t!….Ailwin?" Braeden whispered.

"Braeden?" Ailwin could tell something was off. Braeden's voice was so hushed and strained, he could barely hear him.

"Yea...I'm kinda busy right now…" Braeden kept his eyes trained on the windows of the rover in turns as he talked.

"Are you under an attack?" Ailwin left his chair gathering his things to run out the door.

"...not quite…"

Ailwin stopped mid-step with his hand on the door n.o.b, "...then what is wrong?"

"…*exhale* there is something out here with me…." 

"I'm on my way." Ailwin said, opening the office door.

"Don't."

"...why?"

"I don't know what it is yet…"

"Apparently its a monster from what Advisor Ruven has told me, and it only comes out at night...correct?" Ailwin looked back at Ruven, who nodded his head.

"What else does it do?" Braeden gritted his teeth. He knew they shouldn't have taken this request from the King.

Ailwin stepped back into the office and closed the door behind him as he put his wirstband's sound on speaker.

"Go on…" He urged Ruven to speak on all he knew about these "monsters".

"They showed up after the citizens became sick. They are big dark creatures that eat a Fae in one bite. They move fast and silent for their size, which can be as big as a commoner's house. We have tried everything to kill and get rid of them, but they keep coming back…."

"So they can't be killed…?" Braeden sighed from inside his land rover.

So I'm its dinner…

"No...no...no...they can be killed, it's just very difficult to get close enough for a kill shot."

"What is the easiest way to kill them?" Braeden didn't care if it was easy or not, he just wanted to know if it can be done and how.

"Fire is the most fastest method to killing them…."

"Oksh*t!"

Both Ailwin and Ruven jumped at Braeden's sudden outburst.

"...General?" There was only static on the other side until finally Braeden's voice came back on the speaker.

"Ailwin?"

"Yea, what is it? What happened?"

"I think you're missing a Governor." Braeden was staring at a stumbling Governor Kelim as he was making his way towards the Bizana clan estate.

"What? Governor Kelim in there?"

"Yea….and he seems to be drunk."
