"Coronation ceremony? What coronation ceremony and why I am not supposed to be seen by people before it?"" Celesta shut up, will you? We have more urgent things in our hands right now. " Jude gestured at the door as he replied.I was about to voice my opinion about his rude tone but I was interrupted by a deep commanding voice, " I on behalf of Main City governance command whoever is inside to step outside this instant or I would have no option but to force my way inside."Jude gave me a quick warning look as he straightened his back. He then opened the door of the carriage and stepped outside. Sunlight came through the door as he proceeded to block my view and stepped outside. I slightly bent forward to see outside but before I was able to see anything, he closed the door behind him. I leaned back in my seat with an unsatisfied look on my face because of not able to see what was happening outside." Grand Prince!! " came a surprised voice from outside the chariot. My ears perked as

Jude finally sat down on the seat but behind the table and I followed his suit and shifted towards the window side. So I could have easy access to the table.There were two black lunch craters on the box table with some tissues and spoons. Jude carefully kept food craters one by one in front of us both and then passed me a spoon. I was so hungry that as soon as he kept it in front of me instantly removed the lid. It was extremely hot like it was made and was just served on our table. Its aroma wafted into my nostrils and just increased my appetite. I was just about to dove my spoon into the delectable cheese potato layers when I noticed Jude's food crater wasn't even touched.Was he not hungry? How can he not after so much travelling? I looked at him to find him with his eyes closed and hands together chanting prayers to Goddess Sagaria. I couldn't help but stare at him and my hand automatically rose up and I graced my fingers on the amulet he gave to me last night. I remembered what

" Why? I thought flying pegasus were quite common here like horses."" They aren't rare yet not that common. Mostly only rich merchants, noble man and royalties travel in the carriage run by flying pegasus. Common people usually use horses or burros."" So flying pegasuses will catch attention but walking pegasuses would be completely invisible to other people."" First a fall we are taking I travelled roads and for people, we by some unlucky reason come across which will be very few. They wouldn't be able to notice their wings because pegasus runs very fast. To them, it will just seem like a very fast-running horse carriage and I don't think common people will waste that much time thinking about some horse carriage.""Common people... so, even in this world classism exists. Unfortunate that even the world with magic and mystery couldn't keep discrimination away."" That's how society works Celesta. For a community to function properly it must have some sense of order, a system."" Sur

'Jude's warning did the opposite of what it was supposed to do, I thought as I tossed and turned in the bed and couldn't help but let my mind wander, ' What does he mean when he said that? What is going to happen tomorrow??'Questions swirled around my head giving me a headache as I continued staring at the white ceiling. I didn't notice when tiredness took over me and I fell into a deep slumber. Knock! Knock! - The sound came from the other side of the door waking me up but I just ignored it and tried going back to sleep when the door swung open and Jude peered inside and called, " Hey, Celesta!"I plopped myself up on my elbows and grumbled, " What do you want, Jude?"" Nothing, just checking if you were awake." " Well, thanks to you. Now I am."" Great. Why don't you change into something decent and come downstairs." I looked towards the window to check if it was morning already and it wasn't. It was still dark outside. " Why should I? I want to sleep and It's still dark outside.

Back to Present:" Strange man dressed in all black? " Jude asked in a somewhat displeasure and alarming way." Did he do anything to you? Did he hurt you, dear?" Sir Edith asked me with a worried look on his face." No, Uncle, on the contrary, he helped me understand their custom and way of living better and made sure that I will be able to survive there alone." I smiled as I said that.Sir Edith gleamed at me when I called him uncle but Jude on the other hand glared and continued his querying," I wasn't informed anything about that. Who was it? How did he look? Did he give you his name?"Jude asked several questions about Clian with an unpleasant look on his face. I had a gut feeling that it wouldn't be wise to give Jude, the name of Clian. So I just decided to hide Clian's identity from him at least for now." No, he didn't give me his name. Nor he removed his mask from his face while he was with me. I don't even remember any of his distinctive physical features and his voice was al
