Offered to the Triplet Alphas
Chapter 113
Chapter-113. The holy rain [Asher]
"The crown prince is here!"
A celestial guard's voice rang across the Virgo army, silencing the murmurs as a masked figure strode forward.
The emblem of the Solvaris pack was engraved into his golden chest armor, adorned with the complete nine stars of the Swan constellation. The celestials were notoriously selective about who could bear the full constellation.
Undoubtedly, this was him - Caelum's son.
Usually, nature announced the arrival of the immortals by adjusting itself to accommodate our auras. So, even though the mouse prince chose stealth- suppressing his aura, minimizing his presence - he couldn't stop the shift in the elements of nature around him.
I had already registered how his presence softened the disturbance my aura had created in nature. His determination to conceal his identity was commendable, but in his attempt to do so, he had exposed his power potential.
Even for high-ranking celestials, hiding their presence so effortlessly wasn't easy because their souls constantly resonated at a higher vibration, often in harmony with nature.
Manipulating one's aura in a way that could even deceive nature was something even high-ranking celestials failed to master.
Growing up in the Infernal realm must have wired the mouse prince differently from the other celestials. Even though Cadence pulled him out of the Forced Activation before things worsened, he'd spent months within those walls - surviving, just like Ezra and the others.
Naturally, I expected the unexpected from him, but something that badgered me the most about him was, I sensed no danger from him. Either he wasn't a threat... or he was dangerous beyond the scope of my danger sense.
All heads turned to him in unison. The mortal soldiers bowed their heads, while the celestial guards dropped to one knee in a knight's bow, their armors clicking as they hit the ground.
His black hooded cloak billowed behind him as he strode towards the shadow barrier, revealing a physique that instantly reminded me of Ezra.
Though the hood concealed most of his golden and black masquerade mask, his glowing hazel eyes stood out as they peered at my shadows.
It seemed as if he was trying to see past my shadows to confirm Xanthea's presence.
"Do you see her?" Nikolai asked, standing beside him. "My sister?"
"I hear her," the mouse prince said in a resonating, morphed voice. "It's faint... but she's here."
I frowned, narrowing my eyes.
Hear her?
What does that mean?
I glanced at Xanthea, still resting silently in my embrace.
Even if she were screaming at the top of her voice, no one would hear her through my barrier. So what exactly was he hearing?
The mouse prince's eyes widened, glowing bright golden before they darkened into the shadows.
"This is bad," he said grimly.
"What's wrong?" Nikolai asked, his voice hinted with subtle panic as he skimmed his
eyes from the barrier to the mouse prince.
"He is here," he said, clenching his fists. "Alpha Asher is here with her."
I cocked a brow.
So he can hear me as well, and I am not even uttering a word.
"I've heard Alpha Ezra was the worst of the triplets," the guards discussed among themselves.
"Yeah. Alpha Raven has got a sharp tongue, but he isn't as unhinged as Alpha Ezra." "As for Alpha Asher... aside from attending meetings and handling political negotiations, he never does anything. So this shouldn't be bad, right?"
"So... why does the crown prince look so wary of him?"
"Like your guards said, Asher being here can't be as bad of news as Ezra, right?" Nikolai asked the mouse prince.
"Alpha Asher himself is bad news," the mouse prince said. "And the worst thing about him is that he does nothing. Which means I don't have enough information on him or what he's truly capable of."
We were both wary of each other, and I wouldn't be foolish enough to underestimate him just because he looked afraid right now.
"Whatever. He's just a demon," Nikolai scoffed as he continued in an obnoxious tone. "With you and all these celestials here, he's clearly outnumbered. He might be a lord in his own realm, but here?"
He chuckled, glaring at the barrier with a sneer.
And demons don't stand a chance against celestials. You and your people can easily slay him and bring the great demon lord to his knees - to his fucking doom," Nikolai
