Luna put her head on Elizabeth's lap and she began to caress her hair. "I am sorry, Luna, I've brought you at this point."
Elizabeth was blaming herself that Luna was now in Bolingtone and suffered.
Luna closed her eyes, she didn't regret it. Her heart chose Wilmore and it was important.
"I love him, sister. Don't blame yourself."
Elizabeth cleaned her tears, "my nephew will be like me."
"I want him to be bold just like you. Is Rof alright?"
"Yes, he became weak but eventually, he could overcome the dark magic."
"Thank you for coming, sister. I wouldn't make it out without you."
"Don't mention it, Love."
Luna sat straight and went on her feet, reaching her hand out of her body waiting for her sister to grab it.
"Come, let's go and bring Saya out of the darkness. She is sad and can't stand it all alone."
Elizabeth smiled and followed her sister's wish.
Inside the court, all the members attended quickly, what they had heard was something that persuaded them to speed up and see what was going on.
"As you know the war in Alovena had grown tougher than we thought, if we were going to listen to my son sooner, now it wasn't at this state. The imps are controlled by dark magicians and we let it happen. The prince and the Lord's son are missing.
Last time, you revolted against the Lord of Greenwood, but now I clean all the accusations. He knew something that gathered everyone to help him uproot the menace."
He let them digest the words. The presenters were whispering.
'His son is playing with death.'
'The king is right.'
'We owe the Lord.'
'He did nothing, it was his duty.'
'The bond between Greenwood and Bead is unbearable.'
"I hear you!" The King directly mentioned the members of the council that was on the right side.
"Master Collen bring the scroll." The king commanded and the man brought a scroll that was inside a tray.
He bowed before the king's throne and he picked the scroll. Master Collen stepped away and eyes froze on the king, hearts curious to know what was written inside that scroll.
"Regarding my son's marriage. No one is allowed to force him on what to do or what not to do. He is my heir and you next King. The crown prince of Velator."
While claiming that a flash of light created by honor glistened in his eyes. The King was proudly running every word in his tongue.
He kept the scroll up and continued, "My son had chosen his future wife and I respected his decision and this is his marriage certificate. He has officially married Lady Luna and my daughter-in-law is carrying his child now. I want you all to accept this. If I see no one is heeding to fulfill this duty, I'll make sure life will be harsh on them until I am alive."
The King was rough today. He scanned the faces that ran pale, some switched in pain, some in rage. But it was his family, his son and his death was close letting his son's power decrease meant pushing him to play as a puppet. Either person in this hall was supposed to learn their lesson, he was a man of his choices.
"As you wish your highness. I congratulate you and my queen." It was minister Monaghan who hardly erupted the words.
Livia tilted her head, the words were still swirling like a vortex into her head. What did just she hear? Luna was pregnant and she didn't discover it. The corner of her lips was sketched with a crooked hint of a grin.
"Father, you surprised us all."
"Yes, princess Livia. It was my surprise for your brother too."
Livia looked at him blankly, Wilmore didn't know this? Or her father was playing with her again.
"Now, let's discuss the desire that Sargona has."
The King added and changed the subject fast. Among all, Livia's gaze locked on Elenore. This shrewd bird knew it, that was why she begged the queen to let her be settled in that small mansion.
Back to the small mansion, a gasping maiden rushed inside and joined the Ladies who were strolling among some papers. Elizabeth distracted them with the dark magicians' background but the way this maiden entered caught the attention.
"Gloria, what made you like a distressed chicken?"
Asked Kate who stopped her at the doorway of the living room.
"Whispers, the king revealed the marriage certification and her pregnancy. The Queen is on the way of here."
Kate could not understand which part of it was bad! Gloria inhaled to boost her lungs and added, "not alone, princess and two more women are with her."
"Crap! Is lady Elenore with them?"
Asking that question Elenore came inside the courtyard.
"She told me to inform you earlier."
Kate looked back, "ladies, we have many guests." She thundered to the papers and gathered them.
"We must talk about them tonight, for now! The queen is coming."
She hastily wrapped the table and went outside of the living room
Elenore got inside with a grim face, she disliked that lady Monaghan and Maxima were coming here. The worse above all was Livia.
"Elenore, how was the meeting?"
"It began perfectly but ended up boring and unpleasant."
Gloria walked after her, she turned to the maiden added, "Gloria, prepare a table to serve them."
"Wasn't any news from Alovena?" Asked Saya.
"Not yet."
Elizabeth tended to skip this meeting but Elenore nudged her, "the queen wants to know you, I suggest you stay, perhaps the mistresses come along and I am sure you are interested in one."
"Ah, disgusting!"
She slouched, "let me check on my faerie friend."
She darted up the stairs and went to her chamber. Rof was up and stretched his body.
"Are you doing well?"
"I do, I will go to Alovena again!"
"No way, your body is weak!"
He was sad and nervous about his king.
"Listen, I spent hard days in mines, and those days I hadn't a generous lady like you to tend to me. With your respect, I could boost my magic this fast. Let me see if the king is fine. He was wounded."
Elizabeth was holding her sorrow not to hurt her sister but inwardly her heart was crying.
