"Who are you people?".
"Calm down Lea we are not going to hurt you and if we wanted to hurt you why would we bring you here and tell about ourselves ha? It would have been easier for us to do something to you when you trusted us right?" Ria said as she gently placed her hand on Lea's shoulders and sat down next to her. "Yes Lea me mean no harm, we bought you here not to hurt you but to save you" Sharen added. "Save me from what?" Lea asked genuinely confused this time. "From the Knights of Gantrick," Rayan said from the side. "They were the ones who poisoned you at the beach and tried to take you with them," Liam added. "What? Why would they attack me?" Lea exclaimed with shock and then looking at the way the others were looking at her she added "I mean I don't even know these people why would they simply attack me". Everyone ignored the initial doubt and answered her "Even we don't know why they attacked you. Not only that they are from our world and they coming to the human world to attack you is confusing to us as well". After a few seconds of silence, Liam spoke "So as we do not know why people from our world attacked you and in what kind of danger you are in please stay here for a few days until we can figure out something". "But how can I… my family… what do I say to them? They would be scared," Lea said confused. "Relax… till now no one knows about the attack on you in your world so you can just call your home and say you are going on a trip or something with us right?" Ria said "And I can our IT people to photoshop a few images for you to post on your social media handles so that no one knows about you, not being there," Rayan added. Lea took a deep breath and then nodded in understanding. "But I would have to speak to my family first now as I speak to them daily before going to sleep and not receiving the call last night they would be scared for me now," Lea said. To which everyone nodded in understanding and then Laim said, "I will arrange a phone for you in some time to make the call as you won't be able to use your phone here". Lea nodded in agreement and then added "But I would need my phone for the number". Liam smiled and said, "Yes it's in the drawer next to your bed there" as he pointed in the direction of the drawer. Lea breathed out in relief that they did not check her phone as if they would have she was done for good. As they were done speaking there was a knock on the door before it was pushed open. As everyone turned around they saw the Queen walking in with Allen and Master Li Yuhui behind her. "How are you feeling now," Elizabeth asked. Lea just stared at Elizabeth for a few seconds before turning to the others with a question mark on her face as to how this person was. Understanding her question Liam said, "This is the Queen of Asterin, Elizabeth Vetrov". Listening to this Lea nodded as she turned toward Elizabeth and said "It is a pleasure meeting you Your Majesty". Looking at her elegant gesture everyone was shocked for a second and then looking at them Lea spoke, "I am sorry if I made any mistake as this is how people greeted royalties on TV Shows that I had seen and this is my first time meeting a queen so…".Elizabeth smiled lightly as she said, "You did nothing wrong, my dear, it was a bit too perfect so all of them here were shocked". "So how are you feeling now? Any dicomferts?" Elizabeth asked. "No…No, I am feeling perfectly fine now" Lea said with a sweet smile on her face as she looked Elizabeth directly in the eye. Looking at the Lea in front of her Elizabeth felt that something was not right as the Lea looked a bit too comfortable in this new place. Keeping her doubts to a side she said "Then let Master Li have a look at you so that we can be sure that there are no side effects left by the poison on your body" To which Lea nodded in agreement and then Master Li stepped forward to check her. Once Master Li assured them everything was fine Elizabeth asked the others in the room to step out as she wanted to speak with Lea in private. At first, they hesitated but later on, Lea assured them she was fine with speaking to Elizabeth they left the room. This interaction bet
Elizabeth composed herself digesting all the information she just found out and then asked Lea "Can I see your hand first?". To which Lea nodded understanding her reason and extended her hand. Elizabeth placed her palm over the mark on Lea's arm and inserted her spiritual energy to test if that was real or not. Then once she found out it was real she sighed deeply. "Why are you revealing your identity to me now?" Elizabeth asked after a few minutes of silence. "Because I don't want any kind of conflicts between our kingdoms in the future, at least not because of me. Though I have not seen how close you and my mother were, I have heard ample stories from my father. And he understands your anger as well as he also blames himself for my mother's death. And it's not a big deal telling you about me as the others might not know about the existence of the white dragon and the unfinished war but all the Kings and Queens from all the kingdoms know about it. So by reviling my identity, I
After pondering over the things Elizabeth shared with her Alisha asked, "But Mom, how can someone be so identical? If she were human, I'd understand, but how could someone from our world have the same eyes as my sister? as all of our eye colors are defined by our powers" Then she looked Elizabeth in the eye and continued, "Especially this someone's existence was completely unknown to us for so many years. Don't you feel there is more to this?" Alisha pressed. "That's enough Alisha" Elizabeth exclaimed. "Alisha, she's not your sister... she's Diana and Henry's daughter. No matter what conflicts we may have, I'm certain Henry wouldn't stoop so low as to kidnap someone else's daughter and claim her as his own. So let go of those thoughts," Elizabeth reassured her firmly. "I am also not sitting quietly until I find my answers. He might have not kidnaped her but could have found her somewhere or something" "Alisha" Elizabeth called out her name angrily. After a few seconds of stari
As she opened the door of the room Vickey and Jenny almost fell on her as they were leaning on the door trying to listen to what conversation was going on inside. Then she looked at the others in the corridor where Liam was walking front and back worried and the others who were standing on the side with a grim expression on their face. As soon as they saw Elizabeth coming out everyone rushed to the door and peeped behind her trying to find out if Lea was fine. Then looking at her sleeping peacefully they sighed in relief and looking at this reaction of the group Elizabeth just shook her head and said "Your friend is completely fine I did not eat her up". Listening to Elizabeth's words everyone just bent their heads in embarrassment. Then Elizabeth said as she closed the door behind her "I just wanted to know what kind of a person she is and does she have any other motives coming for here, as she is going to stay here for a few days". "So can she stay?" Ria asked mekely.
"Dad, Brother I am fine, I am not hurt," Lea said as she heard a sigh on the other end of the call. "I am sorry for worrying you like that, I am at a friend's place at the moment and the signals here are not good so my phone was not reachable" Lea added. "Stop lying Elle, I know my daughter enough that she would not be so careless to not inform us if she is going somewhere and William has been searching everywhere for you since yesterday without any clue, so tell us what happened," Henry said. "Elle just tell us what happened or tell me where you are now I am coming to pick you up," Daniel said again. Lea sighed and scratched the back of her head "I…I…". "Ellena…" Henry called out her full name this time which indicated that he was angry. Lea sighed defeated and then answered, "Someone attacked me last night when I went out with my friends and I was injected with poison due to which I was unconscious for the last few hours". "What?" All three of them on the other side o
At this moment they heard Lea speak, "And have you both forgotten who I am brother? Trust me I am fine and as Dad said this might be an opportunity given by Hevens to change things around for good. We need to get rid of the differences between us before the war starts. If we are fighting among ourselves how will we fight the enemy?". Listening to her words both the Beaufort brothers went silent, after a few minutes Danil spoke defeatedly, "We know you are capable of handling all of this but we are worried because of your present condition. If something unexpected happens to you what will we do? We did not want to send you to the human world in the first place, we only agreed because you agreed to take William with you for your protection but still look at what happened. You were attacked by someone. Now you want to stay at Asterin whom we don't know to consider as an enemy or a friend and that too without anyone out there to protect you…". After a bit more convincing the
Lea and Alisha joyfully talked about any random things they could think of like old friends who met after a long time. By the time they realized, the sun was setting outside. "God we have been talking for so long," Alisha commented looking at the sky outside the window. "Yes, even I did not realize that it's been so long" Lea also added. "So Elle if you are feeling better tomorrow let's go shopping as it does not sound appropriate to go back to the human world just to get clothes or to ask uncle to send it" Alisha suggested. "If that's fine with you I have no issues" Lea agreed happily. "Then it's set," Alisha said happily. Just then they heard a familiar voice ask "What is set?". As both the girls turned their heads toward the voice, they saw Liam walking through the door with Allen by his side. "What are you doing here?". "I came to give Lea the mobile so that she could contact her family" Liam answered as he waved the phone in front of Alisha and then questioned her
The room allocated to Lea was spacious with an open balcony, a sitting area, and an attached bathroom with a walk-in closet. The bed in the center of the room was on an elevated platform which was surrounded by the pond on three sides and there were steps on one side to climb to the bead. Cute golden fishes were floating in the pond. And the green wines acted as a decoration on the balcony walls. The ceiling was painted with a dragon flying in circles and the room was painted in pastel colour. The pillars had huge white curtains which acted as a divider between the sitting area and the bedroom and in the sitting area, there was a fireplace opposite the chairs and table giving a warm vibe. Looking at the room Lea was mesmerised. "I hope the room is to your liking young miss". "It's really beautiful Allen, I really like it" Listening to Lea's reply Allen gave a small smile and then continued "There are some fresh sets of clothes and toiletries in the closet. If you need
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
