He shouted in fury.Karl’s short black hair started to glow and grow long. The color of his hair from the tips started to change to silver until his whole hair was changed to silver. "W-What is this?" The Eden man was shocked to see Karl’s hair length and hair color change. "What is happening?"The ground under their feet started to shake violently, as if there was an earthquake. The alchemic circle's light started to blink as if it was losing power. "I can see it now!" Amanda shouted with an excited smile. "I can undo this circle momentarily. Snow, be prepared to get the little ones to safety when I undo this." "Yes.!" Snow replied in a hear beat.But before Amanda was able to undo the alchemic circle that was weighing Karl down, the prince was able to stand up at ease. It was as if the strength and magic power that was drained from him were being fi

"Tsk, we planned to take the kid in our custody. With that, the four sacred beasts would follow us back to Eden." The tall man said. "But our plan backfired." "What are we going to do now sir?"

Back at the palace, the adults had gathered together in one of the big reception rooms in the palace. The children were told to be at their rooms. But they insisted on staying at the twin's room until they wake up.The door opened and the couple Elsa and Bob came rushing in with an anxious expression. "We have heard of what happened." Elsa said with a concerned tone. "How are the imperial children?" "We let our son Damien join the other children." Bob said. "I am sure that he is also worried for his cousins." "Thank you for your concern, Elsa and Bob." Isabella welcomed them with a hug. "The children are fine, thank goodness." "They are brave young children, so I will not worry too much about them."

Sky was seating on the couch 🛋️ that was taken from the twin's common reception area for the children to sit down. "Your mom is an imperial doctor, so I am sure she is quite capable." Erica said. "But, why are they still asleep. A full night has passed by, and the ball was canceled because they are still asleep." She sighed heavily. "Yes, they are such sleeping beauties." Eric agreed with his twin sister. "I mean, look at Karl’s hair. How did it grow this long? And it has also turned silver." "These two now look identical." Erica said. "It is quite interesting." There was silence in the room once again. "I cannot believe you all have gone through suc

Princess Isabella de Novia is the third child and the youngest daughter of King George, the current king of Wales. King George has two older daughters and a son, Crown Prince Williams, the sole heir to the throne of Wales.Isabella's mom served as a maid in the palace. She was the most beautiful woman the king had ever laid his eyes on. He instantly fell in love with her. She had platinum blonde hair and silver eyes; the king fondly called her Snow White. All her beautiful features Isabella inherited at birth.When the queen realized that the maid was having an affair with her husband, the king, she immediately arranged for her to be kicked out of the palace. She knew her position as queen was threatened because she was in no way close to her in beauty. Filled with jealousy and hatred, she banished the maid from the palace. She was never going to share her husband with a common maid. Unknown to everyone, the maid was a few weeks pregnant with the King of Wales.Having been thrown out
Isabelle walked with confidence. She had spent the past weeks practicing how to walk in heels and a ball gown. She walked majestically with her head held high, like a princess would. At the end of the hallway were the stairs leading down to the ballroom of the palace. There, her father, the king, stood waiting for her.

They all stopped what they were doing briefly to shower praises on her.The king cleared his
Phillips and Isabella chatted on the terrace outside. There were only a few people there, as the guests had started taking their leave, so they had ample time to chat privately.Phillips was excited. He talked about his studies and his big plans to work for the kingdom as a court official. He had many plans that would benefit the people of Wales.Isabella enjoyed every bit of the conversation. Her days in the palace were always with Williams, her younger brother. He was heir to the throne, and tutors were always there to teach him many things.The queen, her stepmother, was against Isabella getting the needed education of a princess, saying that she was of low birth and a simple peasant's education would suffice.What she never knew was that Isabella would always sneak into her brother's courtyard to spend time with him. When the personal tutors taught Williams, she learned a lot from them as well. Hence, she was very intelligent.Her knowledge of history, politics, and running the c
