As Queen Siera tried to see what was wrong with the king, I pulled my aunt to the side. She fought me at first, but later on, she must have realized that there was nothing that she could have done to help her husband.
According to Queen Siera, the king was placed under a comma. Our guess is that it must have been because of one of the potions that he was working on.
The greenhouse was a mess. Most of the vials and potions were scattered all over the floor. Papers were thrown everywhere and even tables were flipped. There clearly was a sign of struggle that led us to the conclusion that someone must have made the king purposely poisoned the king with his own creations.
No one knows who or why they did it, but the security in the palace certainly became strict after that. Every visiting royal shall now be accompanied
The moment Ren, Nate, and I came bursting into the meeting room everyone was already inside. All of them were already seated in their assigned places as they waited for us.We weren’t late, everyone was just early.“Where’s the queen?” King Michael asked as his eyes narrowed in suspicion. Then his eyes darted back and forth to the three of us, but still, he did not find my aunt anywhere. “Don’t tell me….” Then he let out a sigh. “This is impossible. Without a representative of Thalia, the main ruler of the realm, this meeting is just a waste of our time.”“Please...!” I gasped as I tried to catch my breath. I was gasping for air as I leaned on the door frame for support. I was dead tired running here and my legs were killing me! I gulped. &ldqu
I went into my bedroom and grabbed the chalice that was hidden under my bed. As soon as it was in my hands, I breathed out a sigh of relief and hugged it close to my chest.“Really? Your best hiding place for the most powerful and ancient relic is under your bed? Wow, lady, I feel so safe and assured that no one would ever find it. You are such a great keeper, princess!” Serena said sarcastically as she kept on jumping on my bed.“Hey.” I frowned and pointed a finger at her. “Don’t judge me. Sometimes people don’t think about looking twice to more obvious hiding places!” Then I whirled around and glared at Kellar and Stella, who were both talking and laughing together as if they were in their own world.And I didn’t like it.
Nate, Fred, Serena, and I headed for the library since none of the other royals would even think about looking for us here. I have asked Stella and Kellar to keep a lookout as well just to be safe. Meanwhile, Nate and I brought Fred up to speed on what was going on. “So you can break curses/spells with the chalice?” Fred asked as he examined the chalice on the table. “That’s a strong magic. Probably the strongest there is.” “Yeah.” I nodded. “Which is why I have to keep it safe.” I looked at Nate. “What happened with King Meruem? Is he going to stay as well?” Nate shook his head. “No. He was brought here so suddenly that he left his kingdom without prior notice. But he has agreed to help. His kingdom can provide us with food. Not to mention safe passageways whe
The return of Ace’s memories has been kept as a secret. Only a handful of us knows that his memories have returned. It was all for the sake of keeping the chalice a secret to everyone as we still have no idea who’s the traitor just yet.Therefore, Ace has to pretend that he still doesn’t have his memories.And I have to say. I was dying inside whenever he pretended to smile and wave at the people greeting him. It was killing him on the inside that we actually have to give him some sort of stress ball just so his fuse won’t suddenly blow up.“Stop laughing at me!” Ace hissed as we both made our way out of the meeting room the next day.“Prince Ace.” It was Prince Gregory, who suddenly appeared behind us and grasped his
It was the next day and it was time for the others to leave as well. Ace pushed my back lightly as I was hesitating to approach the twins.“Go on. They won’t bite. If they do then I will break their jaws.” Ace’s face hardened as he said this.“Very reassuring.” I told him. Ace smirked at me before he tilted his head towards the princes.“Go on then. It will be a while before we see them again.” He urged.At his words, I made my way to Ren and Dan, who were both busy packing their belonging in the carriage. When they saw me, they paused what they were doing just to stand in front of me.“Hi.” I waved at them and tried to smile.
All of us rushed to the King’s chambers where we found my aunt with her head laying down on the bed, crying. King Luke was already sitting up and trying to console her wife when we all barged in.King Luke raised his head at us and laughed. “I hope everyone is this lively when I have my funeral.” My aunt immediately slapped him at his joke.Stella began to run and hug him while Nate, Ace, and I went inside before closing the door behind us.“Hi there, dear uncle. Your favorite niece is here.” I grinned happily.“I know. She’s in my arms already.” He joked. But even though it was a joke, I still pouted.I mean, was that really a joke?
Custard and I rode on Viex’s back as we ran into the woods. “Hold on tight, Custard.” I said and fought off the strands of my hair whipping my face as I looked ahead and grinned.“Kellar, I am going to catch up. Control your magic!” I called out to him. Upon hearing my voice, I saw that he and Javi immediately quickened their pace.Viex smirked arrogantly. ‘Amateurs. Think they would outrun me.’ He says. His tails immediately surrounded us as he ran faster. In no time, we were already running side by side with Kellar.“Hi!” I waved at him.Kellar let out a joyous laugh. He was clearly having too much fun that he began to
When the training was over I immediately headed for the library where the others are. It was the only safe place where we can talk in private. Just the three of us.I knocked on the door with the same pattern as Ace taught us so we’ll know that it was one of us. I waited for a long time but no one answer. Frowning, I kicked the door open to look cool, and then I heard a loud sound.What the hell was that?I was about to check what I have hit when I heard Nate almost dying in laughter when I came in. He was trying to calm his breath as he addressed me. “Hey, Princess. How’s your day?” He grinned.“Tiring.” I answered and began to look around. “Where’s Ace?”“Right her
