Chapter Forty: Cut Ties!

Aiden knocked on the door and silently waited for an answer. He knew his father was in there, so he waited.

"Come in, it's not like the door is locked"

He opened the door and there his father was, sitting gracefully on a chair, holding a large book in his hands which he was reading.

Aiden moved a few paces away from the door and stood near his father, studying his father closely.

King Alonz was a tall man with a husky body build. His hair was still black except for the sides which were dyed grey.

For some reason, King Alonz wanted to get old and he wanted to feel getting old, so he 'acted' old. He was dressed in a royal purple robe that had a purple hibiscus insignia at the back.

He wore a pair of glasses and squinted his eyes a little as he tried to read his book "Welcome home son" he greeted Aiden without taking his eyes off the book

"Thank you father"

"I heard you were looking for me"
