Unbroken Ch. 10

Just earlier, William had taken a great risk and mimicked Aidan. His source had told him that he saw the king, Luis, the queen, the princess and Aidan leave the palace. His only goal had been to kill the priest and pin it on Aidan but he decided to go further and have a little fun. He wanted to add more spice. He had gone back in the palace even though he couldn't use his magic properly there as the stupid priest had done something to the palace. He had stabbed the old woman and then cast a spell for her not to die. He had recorded the last part just for fun. And now he was back.

"You are a genius." The red haired warlock gestured, smiling like an evil troll. "Our plan was perfect. No one is ever gonna suspect that we did..."

"How could they?" Luis chuckled. "When the only person they are gonna see is poor Aidan. I paid attention at the party to know that they didn't know him that much so they would suspect him. I am sure he is in hot soup by now. And do you know the penalty for witchcraft in this kingdom."

"No!" One of the warlocks chuckled. "But I am sure it is harsh."

The four of them laughed until they began coughing. It was a wonderful occasion for all of them. They had never been as happy as they were at that particular time.

"We have managed to cause chaos." William cleared his throat to make his voice more clear. "Now that family will never be the same again. Too bad I didn't get a taste of Prince Luis." He gave a sinister laugh. "But there is still more time and I can have him some day. However," His face got serious. The very thought of what he was about to say made him tremble. "We have to go back to Alerna today. I am pretty sure father is mad."

"Oh my God," One of the warlocks quavered. "I can't imagine what he will say when we go back without the scepter." He exhaled deeply. "He will kill us for sure. He will incur his wrath on all of us. I wish..."

"The real scepter has been hidden." William seethed, staring at the warlocks angrily. "The one the king has is just a copy made by that foolish priest." He growled, clenching on his fists. "I wish I had tortured him to tell me where it is. It is now useless to look for it. Only a man as powerful as father can sense it." He clenched his teeth. "We have to go back and face."

"You are right." The warlock breathed in. "We have overstayed."

"But look on the bright side." William gave an evil chuckle. "We will be happy we caused some chaos. That scepter will be found one way or another okay?"

The three warlocks nodded and gave evil smiles even though they knew their punishments were gonna be great. King Wyatt was not a man to be messed with. He was really deadly. But they had something to look back and smile at while they are being tortured.

"To Alerna..." William said after taking a deep nervous breath.

William moved his eyes and stared at the beautiful golden and diamond palace one more time. He gave an evil chuckle before finally following his three warlocks.

What happens next?
