"Never? So, I should marry my mother and tie our destinies because of the damn prophecy? Because some spirit said so?" he blurted out."Marry your mother?" Exarchy tilted her head to the side."Forget it," he sighed, dropping his head in disappointment.Exarchy slowly ran her hand through the prince's hair. "Prophecies don't always unfold as we expect, child. Spirits come to those they wish to speak with in dreams, and sometimes their answers can be confusing, spoken in a sense we don't yet understand. You're seeking answers in the wrong place."He looked at her perplexedly."This place, this library, holds answers not only to here," she pointed to his head, "but also answers to here." Her hand touched his chest, right where his heart was."I don't understand it," he whispered."You will, child. You are clever. You're her son, so you'll understand it," she said, looking towards the exit with a thoughtful expression. "Goodbye, Cedric.""Riddles again." He picked up the book and headed

"Guess they don't know I'm the prince," Cedric thought and said, "Riley. My name is Riley.""Pleasure to meet you, Riley. I'm Cindy. Do you like me, Riley?" She then ran her hand over his lips. "Or maybe you fancy one of our girls?"She turned his head to look at them, and his eyes quickly landed on a girl with brown hair who looked a lot like Seraphina. They had the same eye color, face shape, and lips. Cindy, of course, noticed that he was looking at her."Do you like her? She's yours.""What? No, she's just...""Hush, little one. Your look says it all," she said and pulled him forward, right to the girl. "Betty, meet Riley. Betty's mum owns this place."Close up, Seraphina's look-alike resembled her even more. The girl checked him out like she was shopping and said, "Works for me, let's go.""Don't forget, you're a guest here. Behave appropriately. Keep an eye on my girl and make sure she stays safe." Cindy stepped away, and Betty took Cedric by the hand, leading him toward a door

It seemed to Cedric that Blunder turned pale. Was he talking about the creature he had seen last night?Cedric thought Blunder looked pale. Was he talking about the creature he saw last night?"It wasn't a man... This creature wore a cloak, moved like an animal, and didn't need a sword to tear the Library guards apart. The way it killed the Exarchy...""Lord Blunder!" Seraphina exclaimed."Your son saw it all for himself. Eligh fought the creature and was the only one who survived. He saved your mother and sister. I arrived too late— it was as if the thing heard a call and headed away.""I saw it leave the library while I was in the village. It left a trail behind."Blunder narrowed his eyes. "You were in the village? What were you doing there at night?" he asked, clearly angry. It was the first time Cedric had seen him so upset.Cedric's heart sank as he remembered what had happened. His comrades were probably all dead—Matt, the Pale One, and the girl, whose body he had used to shiel

She smiled. "You enjoy me sitting on you? It's a bit strange for a mother to hear that from her son. But okay, if that's what you want."She gently kissed his forehead and then lay down next to him, keeping her thighs over his lap. She covered them both with a warm blanket."Why even start a conversation by jumping on me like that?" He could feel her warm breath and the beating of her heart. His mother smelled so nice."You probably forgot, but when you were a kid, I used to do this all the time when I needed to pry something out of you. But you weren't so big and strong before." She ran her hand over his bandaged chest. "Now you are so tall and full of energy.""Yeah, I guess I forgot.""Thank you for helping me at the meeting today. You were so brave—just like your father.""Could you not compare me to him every time I do something important, please?"She smiled. "It might be tough, but I'll try my best."With her no longer angry, it felt like the right time to share something impor

"Look at you. You're glowing with joy, I haven't seen you like this for a long time. But you're so wrong if you think I forgive you for what you tried to do in the tent," Seraphina said, sipping her wine.Blunder set up a small feast to give everyone a break. And their prince turned out to be actually useful. So that was also a reason to celebrate."I don't know what you mean, Mum. We did nothing bad. By the way, the wound on my cheek doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks for asking.""I didn't ask. And you deserved it. By the way." Seraphina went back to her drink, staring thoughtfully into the distance."I'm sorry, Mum. I truly regret what happened." He carefully took her hand."Mommy's little boy. Are you going to cry now? Asking for forgiveness from your mommy? Ha-ha." Elowen, who was sitting not far away, heard his words."This conversation is not with you. You know what? I preferred it when you sought forgiveness and cried like a baby while I was asleep. 'Please, don't die, Cedric,'" he
