"Jillian Foley was my uncle's wife and they had a daughter."
"I see, Jillian left quickly, seemed her daughter had a five years old ill boy. We helped her to escape. From that time we have no news of her, she vanished."
"Frank, I saw him once! Jillian is dead and my cousin was ill too."
"I'm sorry to hear that. I will tell you about my grandfather's diary. He didn't burn that village intentionally. Someone changed the king's order by killing the messenger. Didn't you know about that tattoo?"
"No, until I saw it on Frank's wrist but his mother asked me to leave as Moon lake was dangerous for me to pause."
Kate hesitated but quickly continued her way out after the Dwarf.
"Everything is puzzling."
Master Gaven stated and drew a wall back.
"Where are we going?"
"To the king! You just solved a great issue. But does your uncle know about that diary?"
Luna shook her head, "no, Jillian took it with her to prove that the dark magicians had deceived everyone."
"So you left with no clue."
"Unfortunately," Luna noted desperately.
They ended up in the library and saw the king who was reading some old books.
The King extended his hand and wished her to have a seat beside him.
"Come daughter, it seems you can help us with this girl!"
This girl? Did he know that this girl had his blood?
"Your Grace, this girl isn't like every witch."
The King nodded, Luna took her seat and Kate stood behind her.
"Yes, we saw that tattoo but she had sold her soul and now she is the devil's slave."
Luna couldn't admit that as long as the tattoo was on her wrist, Jillian told them that the light magicians were born with this tattoo, and if they surrendered to the devil then it will vanish and another one will appear on their chin but this girl had two of them.
"No, she didn't! I think the tattoo on her chin is unreal!"
Gaven released a deep breath. He guessed so but not certain as her flames were red. It meant she was falsifying it.
"How come?"
"Her first tattoo was still there. It means that she was playing with the dark magicians to reach you."
She swallowed as it came clear that what she truly wanted to indicate.
"To kill me, but my decree for that village was released to let them go to Rose forest. One of the main reasons that made faeries against me was that decree which never reached the destination."
"Your majesty, I don't get it! You wanted to send them to faeries but my grandfather..." She paused, no he didn't destroy them intentionally.
"First, you tell me. What did you learn?"
Luna squeezed her fingers under the table.
"Then, I am beginning with Jillian Foley."
The King gazed at Gaven, and he blinked in answer. Gaven searched for the woman for almost ten years but found no sign as if she had melted.
"How do you know Jillian?"
"The princess men were after her and that day we were in the forest and saw the wounded woman with her maiden who was holding a notebook. We helped the women and took them to our secret place."
"Who are these, we?"
"Elizabeth, Ryan, and I."
The king was impressed, so Ryan didn't literally take after his mother.
"Continue, daughter."
"Yes, I was saying, we helped them and fed them then Jillian told us about herself as soon as she realized who we are. She begged us to conceal then hand the notebook to the King of Abyss if the guards caught her.
The next day, when we went there, Jillian was there but her maiden wasn't."
Luna gulped, that memory was still fresh in her head.
"She sacrificed herself for Jillian and we helped the woman to cross the border of Greenwood."
"Did you read the notebook?"
"Only the part that was related to Roshan village."
"Tell me what had happened exactly? Because I was always asking myself why my best friend ended his life? I used to think he had disobeyed me!"
"He didn't disobey, your highness! The decree that they received had your seal and it meant someone used your seal, killed your messenger, and caused that catastrophe.
My grandfather wrote that the screams and stray ghosts had driven him mad, he hadn't the face to return to the capital. But he also mentioned that the Roshan village had survivors. He had drawn the symbol of light magicians.
Jillian told us that the King of Abyss must see this and end the hostility."
"Minister Sabian was with them, he said the same thing when we interrogated them."
Master Gaven added.
"We closed the case so fast."
The king muttered.
"Then, this girl is here, after avenge."
"Yes, daughter. But I am wondering why Livia was after Jillian."
Luna peeked at Kate.
"Your highness, Kate has something to say."
Luna wanted her to explain personally.
"Sure, I hear you."
"Your majesty, Jillian Foley was my uncle's wife. She had a daughter and a grandson. Her son had the tattoo of Goddess Luna."
The king was stunned!
"Gaven, wasn't she the woman who had the power of purple fire? The woman who you found?"
Gaven nodded, how close everything was to him this entire time.
"Kate Foley, we have news for you."
Master Gaven, turned to her and Kate felt a chill spiking her head.
"Unfortunately, your cousin is killed by dark magicians, but gladly, her son is in safe hands now. King William seemingly saved him."
Kate wanted to shriek, all of her family were getting killed one after another and she was not there to help them.
"She was the messenger of Goddess Luna and used to send us the black crows and the letters."
Her heart drizzled, so that message she received came from her cousin. How couldn't she notice that Layla was a magician!
"I... I..."
Kate couldn't speak, Luna stood up and held her hand, "accept my condolence."
"I didn't see the Alpha king but when I arrived, his famous white fire was burning the dark magicians."
Gaven added.
"Frank, how do you know that he is alive?"
"There was only one grave near the hovel."
Kate couldn't look up as tears made everything hazy.
"How should we fix this mess!"
Luna mumbled.
"We need you to convince the girl Clara Stalin and open her eyes into reality. We need her information."
The king stated.
"I will do my best when she thinks that we are murderers, I can't sleep in relief."
Gaven walked to Kate and asked her to go with him, the girl was under a heavy shock.
When they were far enough, Luna peered at the King.
"Your majesty, this girl, Clara! Her blood scent is the same as yours."
The king's face ran dimly! Even Gaven couldn't come to this conclusion this fast.
"Are you certain?"
Of course, she was, seeing the scratch on the king's forefinger confirmed her doubt right there.
"I am."
The King sighed, "can we trust each other? For her safety?"
"You have my promise."
She was now even more dedicated to the position she had amassed.. This girl, Clara wasn't similar to Wilmore, nor had a resemblance to Livia.
