With an understanding smile, I reached out to gently caress his cheek. "Liam, I've always understood the weight of your responsibilities as a king. I appreciate the sacrifices you make for our kingdom, and I stand by you. Our love is strong, and I believe we can navigate through any challenges that come our way, hand in hand.""But... Liam, my king, how fares the kingdom?" My inquiry hung in the air as I gazed at Liam, my heart heavy with concern. His deep sigh resonated with the weight of responsibilities, and his eyes, usually a source of comfort, betrayed a profound worry. "it is not a tranquil time, my love.

The wizard chuckled, the sound echoing off the cold walls of the dungeon. "Answers, my dear king? Such a commodity comes at a price, a toll paid in the currency of truth. Are you prepared to handle the weight of revelations?"I nodded, determined not to let his games deter me. "Speak, wizard. I have little patience for riddles."He leaned forward, the chains creaking with the movement, and locked eyes with me. The wizard leaned back, a sinister grin playing on his lips. "Concern yourself not, majesty. After all, what harm can an old sorcerer do?"I resisted the urge to unleash my frustration upon him, realizing that extracting information from this wily mage would require more than straightforward inquiries. I knew the wizard wouldn't reveal more than he already had. He was notorious for demanding a high price for his visions, dark magic, and wisdom. For now, I was not willing to pay. I turned away without uttering another word and left, with Allan trailing behind.**The castle's

I woke up the next day to the melodious sounds of birds. As I opened my eyes, I realized I was alone in Liam's room. The doors and curtains were carefully closed. I got up and walked to the balcony door, only to find it locked with no visible key. I changed my clothes and attempted to open the main door leading to the hallway, but it was also securely locked."Hello?" I exclaimed, bewildered. Hearing the sound of locks being undone, a soldier finally opened the door."Good morning, Queen," he greeted."What is this? Was I locked in?" I questioned, incredulous."These are the king's orders," the soldier mumbled, seemingly confused.Surveying the hallway, I noticed the presence of so many guards that I couldn't count them.

I need to consult with Allan, and you're coming with me." Liam's tone brooked no argument as he spoke, and I couldn't shake off the sense of impending danger that hung in the air.**A few minutes later, we found ourselves in the regal expanse of the throne room. Morphez, Allan, Liam, and I stood together, the gravity of the situation etched on our faces, as we faced the imminent threat that loomed over the kingdom."I can't believe it. I couldn't imagine the jewelry would be worn so soon," Daniel said, blaming himself."I hoped that wouldn't happen. The wizard wasn't a problem I wanted to deal with right now," Liam murmured, running his hands through his hair."It was my fault. I was busy exchanging barbs with the elk Marco, and I wasn't thinking about the problems that the stolen jewels would bring us," Daniel sighed, throwing himself into

Then, in a jolt, I awoke, my heart pounding erratically, still echoing with the remnants of the overwhelming nightmare.In the dimly lit room, an eerie silence filled the air.

Liam, seated on the throne, observed the unfolding scene with a measured gaze. His eyes flickered between me and the elders, gauging the atmosphere. The quietude was pregnant with unspoken implications, and it fueled the unease that pervaded the room.As the seconds ticked by, the elders seemed to come to a collective understanding. A nod from Elder Marco signaled a reluctant acceptance of my perspective, though skepticism still lingered."Very well pointed out, queen. Now tell me, why does the invader want to get our attention? You suggest that, first, he invaded the kingdom, then he killed Elder Krew. Lastly, he broke into my room and stole the jewels of wizard containment. What does the invader want?" Marco asked, leaning forward and staring at me threateningly."I do not..." I began, but Daniel's voice resonated with urgency, cutting through the air:"The wizard's containment gems?" Daniel practically shouted."Yes, beta. The jewels that were stolen were Magdar's jewels," Marco re
