Tracing the aisle back to the common room, she heard Lucas yelling angrily. She never thought of Lucas being angry, what was the reason?
She stood quietly at the end of the corridor before she made a turn to the common room’s door.
“What did you just say?” Irina heard Lucas sounded hostile. “Which part of my story that you can’t understand?”
“Lucas, Sebastian is just asking you to have a bit of precaution. Don’t be mad.” The woman tried to console him, thought Irina. What was her name again? I couldn’t remember. “He tends to worry that much since Julian brought back unknown woman to his castle.” The woman continued.
“You what?” Irina could imagine Lucas disbelieve look towards Julian. “Nevermind for now. That doesn’t justify Sebastian’s remark about my wife.”

Smiling, Julian put her hand light off his shoulder. “What do you thing I would do?” Hilda said nothing, then he continued. “I just want to talk to her. Trust me!” “Alright.” Her look showed a little lack of trust. She watched Julian went inside the garden and disappeared behind the first tree. Sighing hard. She went back to the common room. But, on her way back she saw Captain H from the second-floor corridor. Her hand was on the polished wooden fence, the fence was solid and steady supporting her weight when she leaned on it. “Captain.” She called.

As the night would come, dark creature’s sense of awareness increased and sharpened. They could certainly sense the present of uninvited three witches within the castle. While Sebastian followed behind Lucas and Irina unknowingly the reason. They turned and entered an open parlor. The passage room was at the end of the alley across the parlor. Crossing the parlor hurriedly in silence towards the alley, Irina had something absurd in her head. Almost reaching the alley, Irina pulled Lucas hand and stopped.

Hearing the warning made Irina halted instantly, Lucas also halted since Irina’s hand was in his. Turning around, they were downstairs and was heading to a place that they thought it might be possible to held hostages. “I thought so too.” Said Irina in the same language. She challenged the Iolomb by looked back into its eyes. The two flying Manna flew and bowed before Irina. “Your Grace.” They said in unison. While the Iolomb stood still in his position, reluctant to go down like the Manna, its eyes were fixed at Irina and Lucas’s holding hand.

They rode the horse slowly as winter wind blew freezingly. The group was consisted of two ladies and four men. It was pass mid-night. They were taking a round to make sure all witches and non-witched save as regular witch didn’t know many defense spells. Sebastian stepped down from his horse followed by Julian and Captain H, while Hilda, Deandra and a healer remained on their horse since this was the last house in town. Hilda gave the horizon in the West Kingdom a fancy stare, the moon looked larger above the vast thick ice made from the frozen sea.

Irina walked amongst the standing shelves at Lucas’s personal library in his bedroom. The bedroom was much bigger than the house where her father and she used to live, well she used to stay in Nieal’s mansion but this was a castle, she would probably get lost in the way if she had to find it by herself. Dawn passed and replaced by weak shine from the morning sun. Irina looked outside through the tall glass window, it was snow everywhere. The temperature outside was on the opposite of inside temperature, perhaps it was because her mother was in the castle, she guessed on why she felt the warm atmosphere unlike when she was at the cottage with Lucas and the others. She put her hand over her open mouth to cover the yawn that escaped. Staying up all night, she felt it was a long time from her last sleep. She wanted to catch a sleep while waiting for Lucas to get her, besides most of the creature in the castle were asleep in daylight. Grabbing an eye-catching book

When Irina came inside the bedroom of her mother, she found her standing by the tall window, looking distant at the desert of snow. She didn’t have her eyes wandering around the grand spacious room, observing the room, instead she went straight to her mother side. “I heard it’s been over two years of winter snow covering the land.” Irina started. She didn’t know why she stated that. Her mother turned to her. Her facial expression had calmer than the one when Lucas was around them. “Eighteen years had gone when I awake. Two years in search of you had turned my heart cold, but now I feel warmer.” She caressed Irina’s side profile. “Because of you. You’ll see the snow melting somewhere.” Irina was as tall as her mother. Touching the hand that caressed her face, she looked deep into her mother’s eyes. She saw no emotion in there. Her face was unreadable. “Do you still love Papa?” With hand still held by Irina, she said. “I’m sorry darling, I have

They were welcomed by the Cook with hot beverages, once they were inside the cottage’s grand foyer. “Welcome back.” Said the Cook while handing the beverage to each of them. The group proceeded to the living room as he added. “King Armand and his staffs are here.” “Where are they?” Asked Julian. “They are resting upstairs on the third floor, Your Highness. The king and the advisor are in a poor condition. A healer already treated them.” Julian, Sebastian, and Hilda nodded at the same time. Captain H and the healer listened quietly. “I think I’m going to follow Deandra’s lead.” Hilda dragged her step leisurely toward the couch. The men looked at Deandra’s direction. She was fast asleep on the couch and her head lean on the arm of the couch comfortably. Sebastian paced to the nearest armchair. “Me too.” He sai

What can I do for you?” Julian motioned her to take a seat. She pulled a chair behind the clean polished round table, before Julian could do it for her.

Roman put his arm around Irina’s shoulder. They both were staring at the glass coffin. “I made her dead.” Said Irina blankly. “She asked for it.” Roman calmed her.

Ro nudged again. This time, Irina heard disgusting chuckle from the Iolomb. She hated it. She hated being looked down by the creature. So, she turned to face Ro then nodded. That was all she had to do. In the blink of an eye, Ro launched with incredible speed that normal eyes wouldn’t be able to follow. Soon, he was towering in front of the Iolomb.

She blinked, then her eyes normal again. “Miss Irina?” Narrowing her eyes for a second at Deandra, making sure that she was free from any form of her mother’s influence. Irina closed her eyes, she forced herself to stay in control. The door swung open. Lucas was still able to see the diminishing of the hole as he came in before Julian and Hilda. “Good. You’re back.” Irina didn’t mean to sound harsh, but she sounded like one and startled Deandra. “Where are you from?” Lucas snapped. His eyes drilled into Irina’s.

“Get… Up…” Said Lady Cotts coldly. Shaking her way up, Deandra managed to stand. She stepped back. Didn’t want to be too close. “Speak!” “The king and his group are still alive.” The Iolomb stepped forward. ”I wouldn’t worry about them, Milady. They have been damaged.” “I don’t care about them.” Lady Cotts looked straight into Deandra’s eyes. Blaming her. “I want my daughter to join us.” She tore her haze, shifted to the tall glass window behind her. No one dared to respond.

They hate me.

Deandra walked back and forth in circle in her bedroom. She was locked up in her bedroom, and she didn’t know why. Anxiety crawled into her heart and her head started to tell her things. ‘What did I do?’ Was the first question in her head. ‘Did I do a bad thing?’, ‘What kind of bad thing? Last time I remembered I was being pinned on the floor’, ‘Did they find out who am I?’ ‘Who am I?’ the last question echoed in her head. Her stomach growled as she didn’t touch her food since she had woken up this late afternoon and it was already dark outside. She had no appetite. She was hungry but had no intention to eat.

Squeaking slowly, an older scholar two seat from Master Tobias pushed his chair back as he stood. Master Z, Lucas said inwardly. Then he turned to Julian who gave him a shrugged as he too didn’t understand. “Antony, don’t give me further reason to regret my decision of letting you pass the final assignment.” Master Z scolded the young scholar. He turned gracefully to face all the royal members in the room. “His highness is not done talking. Please continue, Your Highness. We all are listening.” Lucas nodded. “Thank you, Master Z.” He directed his stare to Antony and all of the younger scholars at the back sit. Antony got up then bowed. “My apology, Your Highness. I was wrong, jump into unreasonable conclusion.” Second later all the younger scholars raised then bowed, murmuring their apology. Taken aback by the sudden bows. What is this?

Common room was full, chairs were set pushed against the wall. The large table in the middle of the room was circled by the older scholars, younger scholars were sat on chair by the wall. “Why they aren’t here yet?” Julian heard Hilda whispered softly through his ear. “It’s getting dark soon.” They were standing by the open door of the common room along with Sebastian, Darren and Captain H, waiting for Lucas and Irina. “You’re right.” Julian agreed in low voice. He turned to his best friend. “Sebastian, let’s find them.” Sebastian raised one of his brows, then without any word he followed Julian out. At the front yard, they met with the rest members of Julian’s castle. They saw Julian and Sebastian walked toward them. Julian dismissed their bow instantly as he wanted to asked them questions.
