The Knights

(Empires High) Chapter Forty One

Ch. 43 / 308 Apr 01, 2025

"Hey, are you still grandpa?" I asked my grandfather when I saw him sitting on the corner. He smiled before standing up.

I approached to kiss him on the cheek, he did the same thing. He next turned to Primo who was behind me. He gently tapped Primo's shoulder and gave him a weak nod.

"Sit down, I ordered drinks for you too."

I smiled at Primo who pulled up a chair to seat me. He sat down beside me after that.

"I seriously don't know why you invited me here, Vicente. I'll just wait for you guys outside- "

"I really want you to be here, ijo. I want you and Eerrah to know everything that happened together, "Vicente cut him off. Primo just nodded without emotion.

I looked back at my grandfather. "What is it that you wanted to tell me? You clearly said last night that mom cheated on my dad. Is that true? " I will ask.

He nodded. "You were 10 years old at that time, you and Primo met before. You guys are very close to each other. We are all happy because you are proud to have a relationship. " Primo and I chuckled at that.

"At the same time as your relationship with Primo, Isabella and Kaerraon's relationship took a turn for the worse. Seriously... "Vicente sighed. "I couldn't blame your mom, Isabella, for cheating at my son. Kaerraon's hand touches him, it always hurts him. He became a beast, he treated Isabella poorly. So when your mom finds a better man for her, she cheated on your dad. Your mother would have wanted to take you, she's afraid that Person will hurt you too. So he thought of threatening Primo's life. " Grandpa turned to Primo who looked up.

"And why would I be involved in that fucking problem?" puckered at its question.

"She wanted to use you to provoke Cronus and your family. For when he releases you he will leave an agreement with your family. She'll let you go, and your family will safely return Eerrah from her. But Kaerraon was faster than she thought. He kidnapped Eerrah so he can get revenge on Isabella. Because she knows Isabella will come back to her child again and again. "

I cringed at what I heard. My mom suffered so much.

My jaw clenched while thinking about my dad. Too many people were affected and hurt because of his sins.

"T-Thank you for telling us the truth, Vicente. I owe it to you, " I whispered.

Primo held my hand before caressing it. It's like he's trying to calm me down, and I must admit that it actually works.

"I got to go now, Eerrah. I will also do everything I can to find where Person is hiding now, "Vicente uttered.

"Isn't he in the hospital?" I asked him.

He shook his head. "He knew you knew everything. Now, he hid somewhere and I don't even know where. Your dad's connection is too strong. He even sent some spies for me, fortunately I discovered that right away. "

Primo and I also stood up when we saw Vicente stand up. Primo shook hands with my grandfather, I kissed my grandfather on the cheek and hugged him gently.

"Take care, Vicente. Don't overwork yourself. "

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but it did not continue when something suddenly exploded from outside. I gasped when Primo protected me and Vicente. Everyone fell to the floor, even us.

"P-Primo," I uttered while watching how the people from outside ran for their lives.

"Fuck it. Go near the counter. Don't leave there. I'm sure the offender is somewhere near. " Primo pulled the gun out of his coat before grandpa helped us approach the counter.

Worried, I turned to him as he ran outside. I'm worried about him, maybe what will happen.

"Vicente, did you bring your bodyguards with you?" I asked worriedly to my grandfather who now had a sore shoulder. He did not answer that his people would run towards us one after another.

"Keep my grandfather safe or I'll cut your fucking heads off. Protect him, I'll be back. " I turned to my grandfather. "I'll be back, I'll just follow Primo."

"Take care. I know P-Primo can protect you, but be careful. "

I smiled sweetly before running towards Primo. I saw it grab the rider of a motor. I saw how he punched the guy's stomach.

They must be the jerks who threw that bomb!

I gasped when I felt the pain on my waist. I watched the bullet sink into my body. I groaned in pain while removing it. Lintek, it's over!

I looked again at Primo who was still busy fighting. When I saw that the driver of the motorbike was going to start with Primo, I then attacked. I kicked his chest harshly before grabbing his head. I angrily punched its jaw. "You fucktards! What if we die for what you did, huh ?! " I screamed in anger as I punched him hard.

Primo almost died with that if he hadn't pushed us away. He even blocked us so that we would not be affected. I'm glad that he's safe, just mild bruises.

"Eerrah, baby. Oh God, baby stop. " I felt Primo hug my waist to carry me away from the unconscious man.

"They almost killed us!" I growled angrily.

He held both of my cheeks before smiling. "It's okay, everything is fine now, baby."

I no longer refused when he pulled me into a hug. I rubbed my bleeding waist and then yawned.

"I'm glad you're safe," I whispered to him.

He carefully escorted me into the coffee shop. To this day I still do not tell him that I was hit by a bullet. It's better that he doesn't know so he doesn't have to worry like that.

He might have chopped those two bodies when he saw my situation today.

"Hey. What h-happened? " Vicente stammered at us when he saw us. He is still surrounded by his bodyguards.

"Someone threw a bomb near our place. Fortunately, we got away immediately. We might get killed with that fucking bomb, "Primo replied.

"Did you strangle them to death?" Vicente asked, laughing before walking closer to the door. He looked at the bodies lying on the ground.

"That must hurt a lot," he added.

Primo and I just laughed.

"But this is weird," Vicente added. He looked again in the direction of the men.

"It feels like I know them. I think I saw those guys somewhere. " It was held in the sense as if someone was thinking. Suddenly, he was caught in the wind. "Kaerraon's men. They are one of- Fuck. Kaerraon planned this? "

Primo and I looked at what grandpa said. My father's men? Does that mean daddy planned all 'this'?

He's really that eager to kill us?

But I am his child!

I rubbed my waist when I felt the weakness. I lost too much blood already. I closed my eyes tightly before totally losing my consciousness.
