Hellbound With You novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645 Before sunse

The sun was already a red ball, kissing the horizon when Alicia rose from her seat to leave. The group had just finished their short discussion that was mainly revolving around Zeres’ hideout and how would Alicia safely infiltrate the enemy’s camp without fighting the undead vampires at the front line.

Aside from Alicia insisting that she be the one to go, everyone else knew deep down as well that her offer was the most logical thing they could do at the moment.

"But will she be alright?" Kyle asked, unable to hide his worry anymore. Even though he somehow knew as surely as he knew his own name that Zeres would not hurt Alicia, it is undeniable that the witch queen was currently in a very vulnerable state. Letting her go alone troubled him so much that he kept glancing at his brother, waiting for him to give that assurance that he will be following Alicia along but in secret.

Kyle felt that his heart was going to explode out of frustration and anticipation waiting for his brother’s announcement. But it never came. Ezekiel only remained quiet and didn’t say anything.

"Don’t worry, Zeres will not harm me." Alicia flashed a small but reassuring smile towards the young prince, touched at his obvious care and worry for her well-being.

"I know, but... someone should at least accompany you in secret," Kyle responded, giving his brother a quick look hoping it would be hint enough for him to say something. Though he was well aware that it was a bad idea to let anyone of them go with Alicia as it could trigger Zeres in alerting his minions to move and start the fight in advance, so he enunciated the words ’in secret’. Though he did not know how, he was somewhat certain that there must be a way that they can carry it out. And the one who could make something like that possible would be no one else than his brother.

"It’s alright, Kyle. I’ll be fine. It’s too risky for any of you to approach any closer." Alicia said reaching out to pat Kyle’s shoulder.

Realizing that it was useless for him to keep talking or persuading, Kyle could only drop his eyes to the ground in disappointment and kept his mouth shut petulantly. They all knew that Alicia was the only one who even had an inkling of a chance of approaching and speaking with Zeres right now. They had seen just how important Alicia was to Zeres that he would stop at nothing to save her. There was no one better and who had the best chance possible of changing his mind but her.

"I’ll see you soon..." she smiled at the boy again and Kyle forced himself to nod.

"P...please be careful and come back to us safely... with Zeres..." there was a trace of liquid shine in Kyle’s eyes as he choked out.

"Mm." Alicia hugged the boy. And then nodded at the others before Zeke gathered her in his arms and leapt with her down the hill to the highway bellow.
