Elaina and the old woman walked for over twenty minutes and Elaina couldn't help but wonder how her fragile body could handle such distances everyday.They walked in silence and Elaina tried to get her to answer some questions impatiently but the woman refused with a saying, “The walls have ears my dear child, what I am about to tell you should not be heard by anyone so carelessly”Elaina had no choice than to wait patiently till they arrive at the house. They soon passed a narrow road almost covered with grasses and the house finally came in view. The old cottage house was almost at the outskirts of the slum, there was no other houses close to it, only surrounded by trees and grasses it looked like an abandoned hut from afar. The only good thing that pleased Elaina was the small clean stream by the side of the house and the peace and quiet from being secluded. “My name is Reina in case you are wondering, just call me Reina. Also, welcome to my home, Elaina” She spoke up as she walk

“Your mother, Aurora, is a very strong woman. She had waited to give birth to you just so she could hand you over to me and leave to help your father secure his safety. It was even a struggle to keep her around for a few days so she could rest. She eventually left the kingdom with Sade and I fostered you for 12 months in secret” “A year is a long time to leave a newborn baby, why did she take so long?” Elaina was not a mother but she could imagine how hard it must have been to leave her child for that long thereby missing out on her child's first moments. “That was not our original plan but she must have faced some struggles on her journey to the dragon kingdom, I could only wait with hope that she returned soon. When she did, the dragon search had died down but she still tried to keep your existence a secret. But by the time Aurora returned she had been replaced by Lord Xavier and was now only a magician, she had lost all her benefits given so graciously by the king. She had to com

"Welcome to my humble manor, feel at home, I'll send for some tea and snacks” Xavier said with a friendly smile as he welcomed Lord Elliot into the hall.Xavier acted his part judiciously, it was his only option and he was extra careful this time to ensure it went smoothly.“Thank you for hospitality Lord Xavier, I won't be staying long so please don't bother with snacks” Elliot waved off as he walked in. He was still skeptical about Xavier's notice, everyone knew him to be full of himself.“Nonsense, please, I insist. I have been worried about the situation of the king for a while and it weighed on my heart that I could not discuss my worries with anyone. Finding you is a great relief” Xavier replied with hopeful eyes.Elliot eyed him for a second longer before saying, “I have to agree that sharing thoughts with another can be relieving, the king had been bothering me too”Xavier chuckled and gestured, “Then relax friend, we are doing good by thinking about the Kingdom's future, it i

When the guards had initially knocked on Elaina's door, her stomach had dropped in fear. ‘Did Xavier find out that I had stolen the scroll containing my information?’ she wondered as she jerked up from the bed.She was so relieved when they informed her of the king but now she didn't know what to make of it. She didn't expect him to be asking questions and not just any question but the ones about her childhood. She felt uncomfortable and wanted to lie but thought better of it, she had no reason to and it was only a matter of time for Alfred to seek her out after investigating.And deep down it was her way of torturing him. She wanted him to feel guilty for how wrongly he had treated her, that was if he truly cherished the childhood they had. She had to bottle up her displeasure ever since she came to because he was the king and she couldn't act out against him. Now was an opportunity to see his reaction.It was worth it to her when she saw how dejected he looked, his lofty demeanor

The bright sun rays and chirping birds woke Elaina up. She yawned noisily and stretched tiredly on the bed as she opened her sleepy eyes.‘How long did I sleep to feel this tired?’ she wondered as she stepped down from the bed.She usually woke up at intervals but this time she slept all through the night. What happened the previous day?“Wait, what about king Alfred?” she asked herself, a little alarmed.She remembered leaving the dungeon in worry that Alfred might still be waiting for her but she could not recall if she met him again or he was gone.‘That’s odd, I don't remember anything that happened last night’ she paused to think hard. The only thing she remembered was leaving the dungeon, anything after that was blank. She didn't even remember how she returned to her room and laid on the bed to sleep. It was very strange as it has never happened before.She paced around the room, racking her brain for anything tangible. She checked her body too but she felt fine, there was no h
