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.

They were taking a round to make sure all witches and non-witched save as regular witch didn’t know many defense spells.

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.

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

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.

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.

Lucas turned his head. “Darren, can you tell them what you’ve told me before?” All eyes on Darren as he started. “The woman that you called Deandra was the reason of King Armand still unconscious upstairs also my current state, and the death of our guards. She was there, acting as a bait, when so many dark creatures had surrounded us.” A sound of whistle came from Sebastian. “I think someone owes Darren an apology.” He mocked. “Deep and sincere are a must.” Hilda agreed. “Come to think of it, I never imagine Darren would lay a hand on any woman or worse, hurt her.” Darren chuckled at Hilda funny expression. “T

They have been damaged.” “I don’t care about them.” Lady Cotts looked straight into Deandra’s eyes.

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.
