Chapter 30

"The ember of love will be back to destroy the darkness and pave a way for the light to shine again!"

Both the queen and king were still shock after hearing their daughter's words and the thing that bothers them the most is the dangerous and powerful aura that they have sensed from her.

"Darling are you okay?" the queen asked her daughter nervously. The princess stared at her for a second before she spoke.

"I'm fine mom. Just feeling a little dizzy," she answered using a cold tone. The queen and king stared at each other with curiosity shown on their faces.

"Do you want to take a rest first?" the king asked but the princess just gave him a smile.

"I'm fine dad, a little dizziness is nothing compared to what the mortal and heaven realm will experience if Velion will continue to live," she answered.

"What did those red strings showed you?" the queen asked with curiosity.

"Everything about my mission and my real identity."

"You already know everything?" this time it's the king's turn to ask. The princess nodded and the queen and king both heaved a deep sigh.

The queen sat beside the princess and stared directly into her eyes. "We're sorry we have to keep the truth that you are not our real daughter." She then took her left hand and smiled at her.

"But believe us darling, we had just learned the truth about you being a daughter of a Goddess earlier today. The messenger God just came to us to tell us the truth. We were surprised sweety and we don't want to lose you because we have treated you like our real daughter. You might not be our daughter by blood, but believe us sweetheart in our hearts you are our one and only daughter and princess," the queen explained as tears fall from her eyes.

"Mom, I don't hate you for hiding the truth that I am not your real daughter. I will never hate you, instead I am grateful that you took me and raised me well with both love and kindness. Thank you mom and dad," the princess uttered and gave both her parents a hug.

It's hard for her to leave them alone but she has a mission to fulfill. She has a responsibilty for both the heaven and mortal realm. Peace and love must be restored to defeat the darkness.

After her conversation with her parents, princess Ana Mae decided to go back to the University to bid farewell to her two good friends, Prince Lyndon and Princess Diane.

She found the two of them sitting under the myrtle tree located in the university's garden. She excitedly run towards them.

"Lyndon, Diane!" she screamed when she's only a step away from them. The two were surprised but happy to see her again after a long time.

"Ana Mei!" Diane screamed as well and welcomed her with a hug.

"How are you? Are you feeling much better now?" Lyndon asked her.

"Yeah, you just recovered you should stay at home. Besides, Lyndon and I are planning to visit you in the palace the day after tomorrow," Diane added.

Princess Ana Mae heaved a deep sigh and motioned them both to sit down.

"Actually, the reason why I'm here is to bid farewell to the two of you. You've been a good friend to me and I really appreciate all your help," the princess answered in a sad tone.

"Where are you going?" Prince Lyndon asked curiously.

Princess Ana Mae heaved a deep sigh before answering, "I am not the person you think I am," she started.

"What do you mean?" Diane asked while looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"I'm actually an adopted daughter of my parents," she sighed. The two stared at her with wide eyes.

"Are you serious? Did you just hit your head?" Princess Ana Mae laughed with her question.

"Oh come on Ana Mae! I'm serious!" Princess Diane pouted.

"I just found out earlier that I'm an adopted daughter and that I'm not a real Villashne," princess Ana Mae explained.

"How come? Who are your real parents then?" Prince Lyndon asked while Diane remained staring at her with a shock expression.

"You won't believe this, but I'm actually a Goddess." The two were even more surprised with her revelation.

"A Goddess?" Diane asked in disbelief. She nodded and started explaining everything to them. Everything that she saw in her vision and including the mission that she's destined to fulfill.

"You mean, Aphrodite the Goddess of love and beauty is your real mom? No wonder you have an extraordinary beauty!" Diane exclaimed.

"Diane's right Ana Mae. But why are you saying goodbye to us? Are you going back to the immortal realm to see your real parents? How about the queen and king?" Lyndon asked curiously.

"Yes. Mom said it's about time to fulfill mission. I must end Velion's wrath to save both mortal and immortal realm. This is what destiny wants me to be and I need to comply to it." Princess Ana Mae answered.

Lyndon and Diane stared at each other as if talking with their eyes.

"We are coming with you!" they said in unison that made Ana Mae shock.

"No! You can't! It's too dangerous for mortals like you!" she objected.

It's not that she looks down on them because they are mortals, but she knows how dangerous it would be and she does not want them to be in danger as well.

"Ana, we just want to help you and be with you every step of the way. As mortals we must do something for our world as well," Diane begged her.

"But I don't want to endanger your lives. What will your parents do if something bad happens to the two of you? You are both the future of your kingdoms," Princess Ana Mae explained to them.

"You're right we are the future of our kingdoms and we must do something to secure that future even if it means giving up our own lives," Prince Lyndon answered that made Princess Ana Mae agreed.

After they settle everything, the royal families gathered in the garden of the palace of Citrine to bid farewell to Prince and Princesses.

It was hard for their parents to let them go but they know they have to for the sake of the mortal and immortal realm.

I'm sorry to interrupt you guys but we have to start our journey to the immortal realm now before Velion makes a move to stop us," Hermes told them in his Godly voice.

"Mom dad, I will miss you both," Princess Ana Mae said to her parents in the middle of her tears.

The queen caressed her cheeks and smiled as tears fall from her eyes as well.

"Don't worry about us sweety. Remember that you have a mission to fulfill. When everything's over, please come back to us safe," the queen told her.

"I will mom! I promise we will be back safe and sound," the princess promised before Hermes casted his teleportation spell.

He, together with Princess Ana Mae, Prince Lyndon, Prince Diane and Leanna disappeared leaving the queens and kings of the three kingdoms. They were all crying and praying for the safety of their children.

It's hard for them to let their children go, but as rulers of the mortal realm it's a sacrifice they have to make for the sake of their people.
