She still remembers the day when she gave birth to her twins. The words of her brother about how nervous her husband was and what reaction he had when the babies were finally born.
Flashback
Heavy winds blew, while it was raining heavily when thunder and lightning struck the ground, and Elisabeth was screaming with pain as her water broke. Her husband Edward was walking back and front outside the room when he felt his heart was being stabbed with a knife hearing his wife's painful screams. When suddenly it stopped, he heard a baby cry and then another one after 2 minutes.
As the sounds of the two babies crying chimed in the air "Winds that blow so heavily, the thunder, lightning, and rain everything stopped. The clouds disappeared and the sun started to shine brightly." The man stood there rooted to his spot like a statue when he heard the sound of the babies crying. The head nurse helping with the labor procedure came out and placed the twins in his hand one after the other, telling the queen had given birth to two beautiful princesses and that both the mother and children were healthy. Hearing her words a beautiful smile appeared on his face. The two Princesses were fraternal twins, the eldest had Blue eyes that were as deep as the ocean and the younger one had Red eyes, like the raging fire. "What names have you and my sister decided for my niece's brother-in-law?" Elisabeth's older brother George asked. King Edward smiled heartfully and then said "It's Aisha and Alisha". "It means Life protected by god" Edward added.Back to the Present
Tears welled in Elisabeth's eyes as memories flooded her thoughts. She hastily wiped them away, composing herself before Allen approached her in the mini garden. "Good evening, my dear queen," Allen greeted her with a respectful bow. Elisabeth acknowledged his greeting with a nod, her expression stoic. "I've just received news that Princess Alisha has completed her mission and will be returning home tomorrow," Allen informed her. A flicker of happiness crossed Elisabeth's face at the news. "Prepare her room and arrange for her favorite dishes for dinner. We will welcome her back properly," she instructed Allen. "Yes, my dear queen," Allen replied before leaving to attend to his tasks. - - - - In the human world… "That was an incredible race!" Jenny exclaimed. "Did you see Slayer's maneuver on that turn? It was amazing! I thought he was going to tumble off the cliff," Vickey added excitedly. "I was holding my breath the whole time!" Alex chimed in. "Thanks, Lea, for making sure we didn't miss out on this!" Rayan expressed his gratitude. "It was nothing, really," Lea replied with a modest smile. Liam draped his arm over Lea's shoulder and interjected, "Give credit where it's due. You don't have to downplay it." "But I…" Lea began, only to be interrupted by another voice. "I didn't expect to find you all here," the voice exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention. "Tressa?" Ria called out in surprise. "Hey, guys," Tressa greeted as she and Kira approached the group. "What brings you here?" Liam asked, a hint of suspicion in his tone. "I'm not particularly interested in car races, but Kira wanted to come, so I tagged along," Tressa explained, gesturing towards her companion. Before Liam could press further, Tressa diverted the conversation. "You must be Leona, the new transfer student." "Yes, that's me," Lea confirmed with a polite smile. "I'm Tressa. We're in the same class," Tressa introduced herself, offering a handshake, which Lea accepted. "And I'm Kira, also in the same class," Kira added, joining the conversation. "Did you two know each other before?" Kira inquired, glancing between Liam and Lea. "No, we met after I joined the college," Lea clarified. "I apologize if I sounded rude. I was just curious," Kira interjected. "What spell have you cast on all of them that they have become so close to you in such a short time and Liam who is always distant from everyone treats you so well" Ria's irritation was palpable as she reprimanded Kira, "Watch your words, Kira.""Sorry if I offended anyone; it was just an observation," Kira responded, feigning innocence. Liam, visibly agitated, defended Lea, I am like what I am to others because they are nobody to me but Lea is part of us now so obviously I will treat her differently". "This is some friendship that grew so strong in such a short time," Kira said. Listening to her words Liam's face darkened with anger and others were not any better. He was about to lash out but before that Tressa intervened. "Okay, that's enough Kira" Tressa said acting as if she was trying to stop her. "But babe…" Kira tried to speak to Tressa but was stopped by the glare given by Tressa. "I said enough," Tressa said after which Kira bowed down her head. Then she turned towards Lea and others as she said "I am really sorry for what just happened, she was just a bit angry looking at Liam with another girl when our parents were discussing getting us engaged". "Wh
Once Tressa reached an isolated corridor she screamed "I have done everything I could all these years but why does he not like me? First, it was that cousin of mine who had all his attention, and now this Lea. What do they have in them that I don't... I just hate them..."."How did those People let Lea into their group so easily? I have always been so nice to them all these years but they never speak to me the way they speak to her" she mumbled to herself softly "She is just a commoner...""Does he behave the way he does with Lea only because she has the same eyes as my cousin'"Babe get a hold of yourself," Kria said as she shook her shoulders lightly.Looking at Kira standing in front of her, Tressa just hugged her and started crying as Kira tried to console her "Babe get a hold of yourself, this Lea is just a distraction for him... even he knows they both can't have any future together""Our rules won't agree for their union even if he falls in
"Okay then let me call Lea as well if she is free," Liam said as he got up with his phone."Lea?" Sharen asked."Ho yes, she joined our college this year. She is a really nice person you will also like her for sure" Ria answered Sharen as Liam walked towards the side to make the call."Yes I heard about her from Alex but I was just a bit surprised seeing Liam taking the initiative to call a girl whom he just met a few days ago," Sharen said."If you are surprised just because of this then you would be shocked seeing the way he behaves around her," Alex said."But she is just…"Before Sharen could complete her question Rayen answered her "He thinks that she might be Aisha""What? How is that possible? She..." Sharen trailed off, disbelief evident in her voice."She has the same eyes as her, and Liam mentioned feeling a similar connection to her," Rayan explained. "That's why he's been so invested in finding out the truth.
As they placed their orders, they eagerly awaited their meals, savoring the drinks that accompanied their conversation. Suddenly, Jude interjected, "Guys, isn't that Lea over there?" gesturing across the street.Liam's gaze darted in the direction Jude indicated, his expression souring as he spotted Lea engaged in lively conversation with two men."Did she mention she was coming here?" Vickey inquired, noting Liam's reaction."No, I didn't ask where or with whom she was going," Liam replied, still fixated on Lea."Who is she with? Do you recognize them?" Sharen probed."No," Rayan said."One of them is William; he's a student at our college. The other man looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw him," Liam remarked, furrowing his brow.Observing Lea embrace the familiar man and peck him on the cheek, Liam abruptly rose from his seat. "Since she's here, let me invite her to join us," he announced, striding toward the exit.
"In this place, evidence is paramount, and with their help, she can fabricate as much as she pleases. If we oppose her, we're finished. So let's calm down and figure out what she wants so we can be done with it," Tim suggested."But that's the problem—I've exhausted every avenue, and I can't uncover anything about this girl. Even the second prince sought details from the chief, but even he came up empty-handed," David confessed."What? The chief couldn't find someone's information? Why wasn't I informed about this?" Tim exclaimed."Lower your voice! What if someone overhears us?" David glanced around cautiously before continuing. "The second prince instructed the chief to keep it under wraps. I only know because the chief reached out for assistance as the Deputy Chief was on vacation.""Our systems were nearly fried by a virus when he delved deeper into her records," David added grimly."Unbelievable. The chief ranks among the top ten on the
In the Magical World of Dragons...Within the grandeur of the Alynthia Palace, a sense of urgency filled the air as a young woman ascended the stairs with purpose."Princess Elena," a maid greeted her, bowing respectfully."Please, rise," Elena replied briskly before inquiring, "Where is my brother?""Prince Erick remains in his chamber, Your Highness. He has yet to awaken," the maid responded.With a nod of acknowledgment, Elena dismissed the maid and proceeded towards her brother's quarters.Upon entering, she found herself met with the concerned gazes of her family."Elle what are you doing here?" her father, Henry Beaufort, King of Alynthia inquired."You thought to keep news of Erick's accident from me, Father?" Elena's tone was sharp with accusation."It's not like that, Elena. Father merely wished to spare you needless worry. Erick's injuries are not severe; the physician assures us he will awaken soon," Daniel, h
"Hello?" Elena answered."Girl, you got me worried. You should have at least messaged before leaving," Liam chided gently."Sorry," Elena apologized, then there was silence for a few seconds before Liam asked, "How is your brother now?"To which Lea explained, "He is still unconscious. The doctors have said he might regain consciousness once the medical effects wear off.""What happened? How did this accident happen?" Liam inquired further."I don't know exactly yet. We just know it occurred when he was on his way to another meeting after seeing me yesterday. We'll have to wait for him to wake up to know the full story," Elena replied."Don't worry; he'll be fine," Liam reassured her."Yes, he has to," Elena replied, her voice tinged with emotion, as Liam comforted her."By the way, don't you have a class now?" Lea asked him."Yes, I just came out to make this call. It's fine," Liam assured her."Thank you. Now, g
On the other side, in the Kingdom of Asterin, Queen Elizabeth was having lunch with her daughter, Alisha, who had returned home a few days prior after a long journey."Mom, are you sure you want to conduct the last rites for Aisha on the anniversary of her disappearance?" Alisha asked, her voice tinged with doubt."She's no longer with us, Alisha. We must come to terms with that. Despite our exhaustive efforts, we haven't uncovered any clues indicating she survived that fall," Elizabeth replied, her tone heavy with sorrow."But without evidence of her death, without finding her body...," Alisha interjected, her agitation growing."This is difficult for me as well, Alisha. Please don't make it harder," Elizabeth pleaded, her voice strained."Mom, please! We've waited for her for so long. Why not wait a little longer? I know she's out there somewhere. I can feel it. It's the twin bond," Alisha persisted, her conviction unwavering."Alisha, eno
Back at the Place the sun was setting as Elena stood outside at the entrance of the palace waving bye to her friends who were flying away on their dragons. Elizabeth came and stood next her looking at the group flying away as she asked “I have sent them away as you requested, when do you plan to go?”. A few hours before… “Is Aunt Beth in her office uncle Allen?” Elena asked Allen who coincidentally came near Elizabeth’s office at the same time as her. Allen smiled as he replied “Yes princess, Her Majesty is in the office only, please come in with me” as he knocked on the door to the office. They soon received a reply “Come in” as both of them walked inside the office. “Elena?” Elizabeth looked at her confused a little but still asked in a calm tone with a smile on her face “What brings you here, Is there some problem?”. Elena smiled a bit tensed as she nodded “Yes Aunty”. Elizabeth got up from her chair behind the desk and came to where Elena was standing as she placed
“What does that sorry count for now? It's not like it can bring back the people I lost” “Yes it can’t bring them back but if you can forgive me and join hands with me we can get our revenge and build back the Knights of Gantrick that has fallen. This time we can be more powerful and more strong, that no one can bring us down”. “What are you saying?” “I will help you take over Asterin by killing the queen and we can rule over this kingdom together and once we have Asterin in our palms it’s not so difficult to track down those phantoms and get our revenge”. “Hahahaha…” Silva started laughing uncontrollably “You have lost it… Hahaha… you have lost your mind completely. You want to take over a kingdom with the help of the handful of people I have under me? You want me to lead the few who survived to their death bead to fulfill your fantasy like that fool brother of mine?” “No one is going to die, listen to my plan first and then come to a conclusion. Okay?” Listening to the confide
At the same time in Tressa’s room she was speaking on the phone with someone standing on the balcony. “You bit*h you dare to call me now after all that we had to go through because of you?” the person on the other side of the line said angrily. “I know what you went through was really bad and I did not accept them to react that way for that human” Tressa said trying to calm down the other person. “Hahaha…” The person on the other side of the line gave out a sarcastic laugh “You did not expect?... fine I will understand that but this question for me, why did you not receive our calls when we were trying to contact you for help?” Tressa balled her fists and closed her eyes as she took in a deep breath to calm herself down. “Speak up you bit*h” the person on the other line roared angrily after not hearing any answer from the other side. Listing to this the anger Tressa was trying to tame broke out of her control as she spoke, “I could not contact you because that damned mother of
"Master there is a small issue but I don't know if it's something to be worried about or not so I called you" Master Kai became instantly alert and asked in a serious tone, "What happened, dear?" "This morning, after I woke up, I saw a streak of hair had turned back to golden, which means my power is coming back. But it is too early this time compared to previous occasions and your estimated time. Will everything be okay, Master, or is the seal broken somehow?" Master Kai thought for some time and then instead of answering asked her a question "Why do you think it's broken? Did something happen recently?" "Elle, what happened?" "I... I was…" Elena stammered "I was attacked by the Knights of Gantrick recently… and I was poisoned by dragon poison during this attack." "What? How dare they lay hands on my only disciple?" Master Kai Von exclaimed, completely angered. Listening to the anger in his voice Elena continued in a meek voice "And I think my powers forced itself to break the
"Thinking over what you said, it does sound like there's some truth to your words. But didn't Master Yi say that he checked Lea by inserting his spiritual energy into her body and didn't find any trace of power?""He did, and I also checked myself without alerting Lea but didn't find any traces of power inside her. That's why I've been cooped up in the library for the past few days, trying to find if there are any artifacts or spells that can block detection when checked with spiritual energy, but I haven't found anything yet." "You should have spoken to Sharen, she knows more about artifacts than anyone else among us.""I did try, but she's been busy with something these past few days. I can hardly see her or Alex in the palace.""Yeah, that's true. Even I noticed. I don't know what those two are up to these days. Anyway, don't worry, we'll figure out something," Rayan said, patting Liam's shoulder. Then, after a moment, he added, "By the way, what's happening between you and Lea th
A few days pass by just like that and then a week later…Liam was standing on a balcony, gazing at the town outside the palace gates, when someone walked in his direction. Turning his head, he saw Rayan approaching."What are you doing here?" Rayan asked, stopping next to him."Just sorting out a few things in my mind... Anyway, what brings you here?" Liam replied, turning back to the scenery below."I was on a call with Peter. He said you asked him to find someone.""So that lazy head is complaining to you instead of doing his work?" Liam said as he walked to a nearby chair and settled down in a carefree manner.Rayan sighed, moving to the empty chair opposite Liam. "He didn't complain but was scared to speak to you since he couldn't find anything about that person even after searching for a week now."Liam let out a deep breath and shook his head lightly. "Expected. How could it be so easy...""But why did you ask him to check regarding Master Kai Von's disciple all of a sudden? Did
Liam, who was walking with Lea to the dining hall, suddenly stopped. He pulled Lea into an embrace and leaned against a pillar."What are you doing? What if someone sees us?" Lea asked, agitated, looking around to check if anyone was coming."Don't worry, not too many people use this route as this route is longer compared to the other one."Lea sighed in relief and then looked at him. "Then why did you take this path?""Because I couldn't take any more of your staring. Now, tell me what's on your mind?" Liam asked, brushing back a loose lock of hair from Lea's face.Lea sighed, a bit embarrassed at being caught. "I... I never knew you had this side to you. It felt really good to be protected like that. Though my father and brothers always stand like a protective barrier around me, what you did today felt different. I don't know how to explain it."A smile bloomed on Liam's face. He bent his head and gave a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I promise I will always protect you, whether we'r
Everyone was stunned. Tressa, one of the kingdom's best in sword fighting, had delivered a powerful strike, yet Lea had blocked it as if it were nothing."Come on, sister Lea, you can do it!" Alina's cheer broke the silence.The crowd's eyes lit up with excitement. "This match is going to be interesting," they thought. "This human is not so bad…"Alisha smiled at Tressa's state and cheered with Alina, "Come on, Lea, you can do it!" The rest of the group joined in, while Kira and a few other lackeys stood there with dark expressions.Furious, Tressa stood up and dashed toward Lea again. Her attacks grew stronger, but Lea blocked each one with ease. This continued for the next twenty minutes—Tressa attacking and Lea defending.By the end, Tressa's body was covered in cuts and bruises, while Lea stood unscathed."Dude this girl is a monster… how can she overpower a dragon warrior so easily, did she go through such rigorous training to attain this level of perfection?" David said to Tim,
Alina looked back. "I don't know… come on, let's ask someone."They reached the corridor and stopped a dragon warrior who was heading to the west wing. "Where is everyone going in such a hurry?""Little princess, you don't know?" Alina furrowed her eyebrows.Seeing this, the dragon warrior cleared his throat and explained, "Princess Tressa and that human girl are having a sword fight in the training room. We're all going to watch as we've never seen a human fight before, and we're curious about their skills."Once the dragon warrior shared this information, Alina let him go and turned to Sapphire. "This evil sister of mine is surely doing this to bully sister Lea. Please help her, sister Sapphire.""How can I help with this?" Sapphire asked, puzzled."You can… If I speak up, they'll silence me because I'm still young. But you know Master Kai Von, my evil sister has to listen to you." Looking at Sapphire still standing silently Alina added."You don't understand, sister Sapphire. That
