162 Chapter 162: The Half Breed

Reed took a deep breath as he looked at Alex and Emy, both fast asleep. Only he will talk to the mages about testing Alex’s blood. He couldn’t give Eldron or Devin everything.

Reed walked up to Alex, grabbed his leg, and then used a needle to stab him. The blood came out, and Reed got it before he could cry.

Alex’s crying woke Emy up, and she saw Reed carrying Alex in his arm. He is no longer crying and enjoying his father’s hug.

“What happened?” Emy asked Reed. “Why did he cry?”

“Sleep, my queen. I’ll look after Alex.” Ree said.

“I can no longer sleep. Alex, come to Mom. I’ll take care of you.” Emy said.

“Okay.” Emy got Alex from Reed. Alex was glad that Emy was able to hold him.

“I need to leave, my queen,” Reed said.

“Huh? Where do you want to go?”

.....

“Let me take care of something quickly,” Reed said. Reed was sitting beside Emy. “Don’t worry. I’m doing this for Alex’s safety.”

Emy nodded. “All right, be careful. I don’t want something to happen to you.”

“Nothing will happen to me. Anyway, Jasmin and Avery are the ones you need to ask when you need something. Don’t trust the demons around you right now.”

Emy made a face, but she didn’t ask. “Okay, I trust you.”

Reed gave Emy a smile and a kiss on the lips. “I’m leaving.”

Reed stood up when Emy nodded again. He kissed Alex on the head, then turned his back on the two of them and walked toward the door.

Eldron was surprised that both he and Reed got to the realm simultaneously. He told one of the eldest mages to come right away, which was a secret that surprised his father.

“Why did you call the most experienced mage?” Eldron asked.

Reed smirked. “What do you want to do.”

Eldron stopped and took a deep breath. “It looks like someone told on you.”

“Well, I heard him, so I don’t know what he said,” Reed said.

“I don’t want anything bad for my grandson...”

“Why didn’t you say so?”

“Just because I want my grandson to know, I don’t want you to think bad about me.”

“You will let me know if your goals are up to good.”

Eldron frowned. “Fine, I made a mistake.”

Reed smirked. “You give up too easily. I only tease you if you do something bad.”

Eldron gave Reed a quick look. “You’re having fun with your dad.”

Reed laughed. “Tell me what you talked about with Devin.”

“Devin? I didn’t talk to Devin about anything.”

Reed just looked at his dad. “I’m just inside my room.” Reed left Eldron’s room and turned his back on his father.

Eldron did nothing but watch Reed leave.

Reed was standing in front of the window in his room and looking out. The land is at peace, and he is making it better. Becky told him that demons were always waiting outside the palace to attack and challenge his rule.

Reed turned around at his bedroom door when he heard a knock. He went straight there and opened it. The eldest Mage, Eldron, and the soldier with them stood in front of him.

“In our library room...” Reed said, then he and everyone else left the room quickly.

When the soldiers got to the library, they left right away, leaving the three people there alone. Reed looked at the wizard and gave him a small vial with Alex’s blood. When Eldron saw that his blood was a different color, he frowned. He was surprised to see red instead of black.

“What color is that?” Eldron asked.

“That’s blood from Alex.”

The Mage asked, “What do you want me to do with that blood?”

“I’d like you to look at it. Find out what it is and what powers the person who has it might be able to get.”

The Mage tried to take the small bottle from Reed, but Reed held on to it. The Mage looked at Reed.

“No one knows about this. No one else knows about it except for the three of us, so if word gets out, it will be my fault. Even if you are the most experienced wizard...” Reed looked at his dad. “Yes, you’re my dad.”

Reed let go of the bottle, and the two adults didn’t say a word.

“It doesn’t seem like a good idea to threaten your dad and me.”

Reed just smiled at what the Mage said and didn’t answer. “When will you tell me what I need to know?”

“Let me sleep on this for two nights...”

Reed nodded. “I’ll stay here for two nights if that’s the case.”

Eldron gave Reed a quick look. “Then I’ll clean up your room and make you a nice meal.”

“You decide, father,” Reed said. “I’m going to rest in my room.”

Reed left the room after turning his back on the two adults. Both adults were looking at each other.

The Mage said, “I have to leave to start this.”

“Remember what the king said about us. Even though he’s my son, I’m afraid of what he can do.”

The Mage said, “I get it.” “I’m leaving.”

Eldron gave the Mage a nod and led him out of the room.

“Leave?”

Dinner is being eaten by Jasmin, Avery, and Emy. Emy will walk around the yard after Becky tells her goodbye. She said to two friends that Reed had left for a while.

“It looks like Sir Reed is also worried about Alex,” Avery told me.

While they ate, Alex sat on Emy’s lap. Alex is quiet, even though he should be naughty and mischievous at his age. He seems to know everything already.

“Wait, what are we going to do? Alex’s dad will be back tomorrow and will be surprised to see how big he is.”

Emy inhaled deeply. I’m thinking the same thing. I can’t just keep Alex from him.”

“What do you want to do? Tell Dad about Alex?”

“What if he’s startled? You know that Dad shouldn’t get too emotional.”

“I’m still trying to figure out what to say to dad.”

“But, Miss Emy, no matter how you tell your dad, he will be surprised because Alex was only two days old the last time he saw her.”

“Then what should I do?” Alex can’t just avoid Dad.”

“Let’s talk about it after we eat, Miss Emy. Alex has gotten better, so you need to eat a lot.

After taking a deep breath, Emy nodded.

“You didn’t do well.”

Eve stood in the middle of Devin and Dynhir. Devin and Dynhir both let out puffs of black smoke. When Devin went to Eve’s house, a fight broke out for no reason. Devin went straight up to Dynhir.

“I’m telling the truth, so why would you be mad at the truth?” asked Dynhir.

“Wait a minute, can you stop? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Eve said.

Devin took a deep breath and quickly moved away from Eve. He did the same thing.

“Tell me now why you’re fighting,” Eve said.

Devin said, “Ask your cousin.”

Eve turned to Dynhir. “Dynhir, what have you done?”

“I went back to the realm to warn the former king about what might happen to the realm if Reed’s child with that woman keeps living.”

“Dynhir is the name of the girl you’re talking about.”

“He’s still a human, whether she has a name or not.”

.....

“Enough!” Eve said. Devin and Dynhir didn’t say anything. “Dynhir, what are you talking about? What will happen to the kingdom?”

“Reed’s son is a mixed race. You can’t see what could happen, can you? That kid is half-demon, half-vampire, and half-human, so he is powerful. Because he can adapt to both worlds, he can live in them and never get hungry or thirsty. He also can’t die. What do you think will happen when he becomes the next king?” Dynhir said. “Prince Devin, don’t you feel scared? No one can stop that boy from sitting on the throne as long as he lives.

“That will only happen for a short time. Before that day comes, everything will have changed.”

Dynhir smirked. “It doesn’t look like you’re worried.”

“I’m not worried at all.”

Dynhir nodded. “The day of judgment will come, and everyone will have to answer for what they did. Yes, wait until that day.” Dynhir quickly left the room, turning his back on Eve and Devin.

“Have you seen him? Your cousin is a coward who only knows how to put his private parts in women. Devin said he was upset.

“What do you think a cube is for?” Eve asked.

Devin didn’t say anything. “I’m leaving,” he said, and then he was gone in front of Eve.

Eve took a deep breath and held her head.

Devin opened the fridge and got a pint of ice cream right away. He grabbed a spoon, sat on the couch, and turned on the TV. Even though Devin was watching the show, his mind wasn’t there. He took a bite of ice cream and a deep breath.

“I won’t let anything bad happen to Emy. I’ll keep her safe from anyone who wants to hurt her, even Alex.”
