Chapter 3

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Fresh air circulated through the hall as it brush past her small figure, lulling her to sleep due to the peacefull environment and because she is literally a baby, she was drowsy but refused to fall asleep, she's currently being settled at the castles top chamber were you could feel the soft touch of the wind that goes in and out of the room and the glass top where you could see the floating clouds. It was very peacefull, very quiet which made her relax.

Tera and Seri are out and left her alone for a while but not after they left a transmitter stone near her that would alarm them when something goes wrong but of course the chamber is heavily guarded with booby traps that no one can escape easily thats why this chamber was called the safe room unlike others that are located underground, only the royals are able to enter in and out of this chamber and some authorized servants.

"Vhwa kda." She tried speaking but failed again, its been a month and Seri did thought Tera how to handle a child she is an extremely fast learner because now she handles her with care but sometimes she would be occasionally dumbfounded for some of the baby's demands she couldn't understand, its to say that she is still not that used to it.

She was currently heaving a sigh when she heard the door creak thinking it was probably her  two maidservants she remained calm and relax as she counted sheeps to divert her attention as an indescribable feeling overwhelmed her.

"You must be Fae?"

She opened her closed eyes when she heard an unfamiliar mans voice and saw a guy near her crib staring down at her, he had a golden locks thats only been possessed by royalties and heirs of the throne just like her, while he is wearing a formal royal attire with aqua lion brooch on his left side of the chest indicating he is of royal family.

"Ggugu gaga."

"Hmm so you are the princess?"

She just stared at him with a frown evident on her cute baby face while the man infront of her was watching her every expression closely, in bewilderment.

"You seem to understand me?"

He reached his hands on her face and rubbed her red round cheeks and staring at her with a calculating eyes, his eyes showed scrutiny as he observed further, trying to gauge out her secret.

"Hmmm"

While Lyph feeling the warmth coming from his large hands found herself rubbing her face into it with a blissful expression, feeling extremely comfortable by the unusual warm hands and did not manage to see how the man blushed and felt his heart being tugged seeing how adorable she looked like right now.

"Ehem....by the way im your 3rd eldest brother Felix Aquadelphia nice to meet you baby Fae." This time his face were full of genuine smile as he watch her still feeling his hand on her cheeks with a small smile on her cherry lips.

[Well that's what he sees.]

Lyph didnt even spare him a glance and just felt herself dozing off with the warm hands holding her before she finally succumbed to darkness and fell asleep. The other reason was simply because she was already drowsy to begin with and now added with the warmth and securty she felt, she immediatly fell asleep.

Though it was horrifying that she actually felt secure from the unknown stranger. Well, not really but still he remains a stranger, even if they were somehow blood related.

She woked up and saw the sky turning orange and saw Tera and Seri beside her who seemed to have seen her eyes flutter open and expectantly waited for her, she roamed her eyes and didnt see his brother, maybe he left while she was sleeping.

"Princess would you like to drink milk?"

Rung Tera's cheerful voice as she saw the princess frown and thinking she was hungry she quickly offered and gave a bottle of milk to the princess who gladly accepted it which overjoyed Tera while Seri kept quiet and laughed softly.

"Hmm mmm mm"

The princess hummed as she sucked on her baby bottled milk. The two's eyes glimmered as they watch their princess drink.

After a minute of silence Seri picked the princess up and carried her towards the door to go down and went to her room because it is already almost nighttime and babies arent allowed to feel the cold breeze of the night because it will be the cause of the princess illness.

After pondering for sometime Tera left Seri to take care of the princess to eat dinner and then take shifts on who will guard the princess at night because it might need something.

Midnight........

Under the luminous light of the moon towards the luxury chamber where the princess is stated a figure appeared out of thin air and jump from the window towards the sleeping baby and maidservant without an inch of noise coming from him , which makes him seem like a very dangerous person, but then all it did was stare at the princess as his red shoulder length hair flowed under the bright moon emphasizing its redness and attractiveness.

Lyph felt uncomfortable all of a sudden and so decided to open her eyes because you know, babies tend to cry or play by herself when they woke up in the middle of the night, but, she is an exception of course she is a special kind of a baby, not that kind of special where it comes from abnormality but a kind of special that can be considered as a genius prodigy and knows everything even as a baby.

The moment the princess' eyes opened, what greeted her quite startled her making her  eyes wide open and her heart beat irratically.

||eek who's is he.||

Fae was startled awake as her violet eyes vigilantly stared back at the red haired man.

The man stared intently at her with his dark grim red blood eyes that seemed to read her soul or more like piercing it, as it look at the baby in the crib who has exactly the expression of a matured human.

"Interesting"

The man mumbled making Lyph quite alert and put her guard up, this is dangerous she can feel it, and he's someone powerfull enough that its enough to tell the world and her to f**k off and never mess with him. So she stared at him with her eyes dull and emotionless and as cold as the snow in north pole.

Under the moons bright light a situation of i stare, you stare me was made as both remained quiet, they did not say or do anything, they only stared at one another not moving an inch.

It took almost 10 minutes as the staring contest finally stopped and the red haired man overlapped with the shadow of the night and disappeared without a trace.

Lyph who was left alone, showed a rather comical dumbfounded expression as the other disappeared, then released the breath she didn't know she was even holding in.

Her thoughts were in a jumble mess all night that She didn't even know how she fell asleep again while overthinking things.

Wile Lyph slept quite well, others were not, not only is there an intrider but they also never discovered the person, not until someone accidentally switched on the surveillance crystal placed in each palace did they realize someone had anycked in.

Specifically, it's the mages who were suffering, while some who are asleep awoke from their rest when an alarm went off.

They were all panicked as to why and how the intruder even got in without being detected. All of them investigated through an artifact the Luminous pearl which contained large of the sea's mana.

But they all felt buffled when they found nothing, they couldn't find a single flaw despite looking at different perspective.

The elders of the mages were sweating none stop realizing the importance of this situation. There was actually a person who entered unhindered by them.

They were all nervous as they felt like they were in a death sentence. They were imagining what would happen when they gave the emperor the detailed report of this incident.

For hundreds of year's this had never happened, every mages generation were only contained with nothing but strong ones, so intruders never left alive or even stepped in successfully.

Now, an unknown person came in yet they weren't even aware of his visual image, then how could they even know what his purpose was?

Unaware of all of this chaos, Fae slept quite serenely, completely oblivious of countless of peoples sleepless night.

Of course this situation didn't go unnoticed by the Emperor.
