Chapter 734 - The Next 59 Days

It did not take long for Zeres to find Alicia's location. He was aware how she was currently obsessed with Ezekiel. So he knew that Alicia would definitely be where Kiel was, so he only had to locate Kiel to find her.

He found them in a prestigious bar. It was a favourite place where famous humans like to gather. Zeres already knew why Kiel was here as he was already well informed about what Kiel was dealing with lately. Kiel was trying to find the leader of a certain syndicate, and the person who somehow managed to find a way to perfectly disguise vampires from showing their true form to humans. And he could tell that even now, with him being in a place like this should also have something to do with that matter.

As he made his way to the VIP room located in the highest floor, a number of bold ladies tried to stop him. However, Zeres was already not in a good mood, thus he completely ignored these girls like he could not see any of them at all.

Kiel's men did not stop him when they saw him head to the door where their big boss was. They already knew that this silver-haired beautiful man was not a threat to their boss. At least that was what they believed, since their big boss had ordered them not to bother this silver-haired man when he comes by.

As soon as the doors was swung open, Zeke, who was busy speaking with a man who looked like he was another high-ranking human, lifted his gaze. Upon seeing Zeres there, he only arched one of his brows at him.

"What is it?" Zeke asked.

Their eyes met for a moment before Zeres' gaze fell to the human and said, "I'll be back once your business with him is done."

Without giving the human another glance, he then turned and left the room. As soon as the door was closed behind him, Zeres mumbled the spell under his breath and Alicia immediately appeared next to him. A while ago, as soon as Zeres entered into the room, Alicia had immediately spoke to him. She had stepped right through his body so he could hear her despite him not uttering the spell at all.

Alicia had told him to immediately go outside the room with her because somehow, Alicia felt like Zeres might do something to reveal her presence to Ezekiel.

"Let's go somewhere and talk, Zeres." Alicia said as she looked at Ezekiel's guards who were present in the corridor. Then she walked away without waiting for Zeres to respond.

Zeres could only follow after her and the moment they were alone and no one else was looking, Zeres spoke. "Leave this place Alicia, and go back to the "

"No. I will not leave Ezekiel. I will keep watching him for the next 59 days." Alicia replied sternly. "This is a crucial time for me and the witches, Zeres. I finally found out that the 700 year time limit will end in another 59 days. So no matter what you will say, I will keep an eye on him 24/7, until that time pa.s.ses."

Her words made Zeres run his fingers through his hair as he sighed out heavily. But he was a lot calmer now compared to how he was with Alicia the other day.

"You can't be serious Alicia" he said weakly.

"I am more than serious, Zeres. There is no other way. With my situation, I am the only one who could watch over him like this without him knowing."

"You really think he can't see you?" Zeres's quiet voice pierced through Alicia, and she jerked at his question.

"He can't, Zeres. I am certain about that. And that's why I am perfect for this job." Alicia stubbornly insisted and did not want to think too much into this matter.

Zeres could only smile helplessly at the look in her eyes. She looked like she truly believed that Kiel could not see her. There was not even a tinge of doubt in her eyes right now. And Zeres could only sigh again, knowing that there was no way he could make Alicia think otherwise nor convince her with other reasons, unless of course, Kiel himself gives away an obvious hint that she would notice.

But knowing Kiel, Zeres could bet that Kiel will never give even a little hint.

"So you're planning to stick to him and watch his every move for every second during the next 59 days?"

"Yes." Her reply was instantaneous and determined.

"And what will you do once you find out that his memories are returning? Huh? Alicia? Can you do anything to stop it at all?"

His question made Alicia's expression became a little steely. Then she looked away and clenched her fists tight.

"Do you really have to ask that? You know there is only one thing for me to do to save our race from him." she answered and for a moment, confusion and disbelief filled Zeres' eyes.

Then a disbelieving smile curved on Zeres' lips as he shook his head. "No, you're not gonna do that Alicia."

Alicia narrowed her eyes at him and clenched her jaws tight.

"I don't think you can." Zeres added as if he was so certain about his opinion.

And that made Alicia grit her teeth. "I can do anything for my people. Anything."

"You're saying that you're truly serious about wanting to kill Kiel? In the event that he starts remembering things?" Zeres could barely say those last two words. This was still something he could not make himself believe at all.

"That's the only way to stop him, and you know that very well, Zeres!" Alicia hissed. Anger and fierce emotions were flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes now. "We don't even have another choice at all! If Ezekiel breaks his curse and comes at us not even you can stop him!"

Zeres shook his head, rubbing his face with his palm. Then he leaned his head back against the wall and shut his eyes tiredly.

"I really really don't understand you sometimes, Alicia.." He mumbled.
