ELARAI stared at the royal seal which was sitting at tbe corner of my desk. I had looked at it at least five times that morning and it still felt strange to see my name beside it. ‘Princess Lyra Elara, Administrator of the Northern Border District.’Few weeks ago, I had been afraid to speak during a hearing unless someone asked me a question but now people were bringing reports to me and even waiting for my decisions. I was not sure whether that should make me proud or nervous, perhaps both.I turned another page of the report in front of me. “These supply figures are lower than month’s " I said and Lady Miriam looked over the document. "They are." "Why?" "There was poor harvest in two villages but it's nothing serious." She said and I nodded and then made a small note.We had been going through reports for over an hour. Most were ordinary like reports about grain deliveries, road repairs, trade permits and complaints from farmers. It wasn’t an exciting work but I was beg

ELARA The reports from the northern checkpoint were still scattered across my desk.I closed the last report and leaned back against the chair as my lips formed a full smile. .It feels so good hearing them praise me for making the right decision. I could still remember how I felt when I met the scene where both parties were in disagreement. I had so much doubt and I'm glad I didn't lose belief in myself even after one of the soldiers mentioned it's not something I should get involved in. Eventually, I handled it without Lady Miriam, Cassian and anyone standing behind me waiting to take over. I rested my hand on the neat pile of paperwork at the edge of the table and allowed a small smile to cross my lips. A month ago, the sight would have been enough to trigger a panic attack but today , I was starting to enjoy it.For the last few days I had been reverting back to my usual routine. I handled reports almost everyday, had Lady Miriam’s lessons when her schedule allowed and di

ELARA I barely slept because every time I closed my eyes I saw those five words.“Girl aged approximately five years old.”I had read them so many times that I could almost see the handwriting without looking at the page.Still, I kept opening the report and trying to think of possible explanations. Maybe I had misunderstood it, maybe there had been another girl near the northern pass, maybe the royal insignia had belonged to someone else, maybe the person who wrote the report had simply made a mistake.There were so many possible explanations and that was what I kept telling myself.None of them made the strange feeling in my chest disappear.I kept feeling that way till morning came and that was when I gave up trying to sleep. I dressed early and carried the report with me when I left my room.I didn't want to keep it hidden in my office.If it meant nothing Lady Miriam would tell me but if it meant something...I wasn't sure I wanted to hear that from my thoughts.I found her in

ELARAThe next morning, I was working on a report when a palace guard came to my office door.I looked up from the papers I was reading."Princess Elara " the guard greeted with a slight bow. "Yes?" I replied."His Majesty wants to see you in his office " the guard told me.I looked at the pile of papers beside me."Now?" I asked.The guard nodded, so I quietly sighed and gathered my papers.For a moment I thought about Lady Miriam and if she had talked to Cassian about the old northern report I found yesterday. This made my stomach feel tight.I followed the guard through the palace and when I got to Cassian’s office, I found him alone.He looked up when I came in."There you are, " he said and I smiled a little."You asked for me " I said."I did " he replied.I waited and instead of talking about the report he leaned back in his chair and looked at me."How are you?" he asked and I was surprised."How am I?" I repeated."Yes " he said."I am fine " I told him.Cassian looked at m

ELARAThe council papers had barely settled into a proper pile on my desk when another meeting was called.I had only just begun getting used to my new position.There were still moments when I would enter the council chamber and remind myself that I was no longer there as an observer. I had a seat now and my opinions were expected.Today, however, the atmosphere felt more serious than usual.A large map had been spread across the centre table, Cassian stood at the head of it while Lady Miriam and several advisers gathered around.I took my seat and looked down at the map.The northern forest stretched across a large part of it reaching toward the territory of another pack.I already knew which pack it was.The file I had received the previous day had made that clear but still, I listened as Cassian explained the situation."The forest has been disputed for years and both territories have old claims to it."One adviser pointed to the map. "Moonblade hunters have crossed into what ou
