Livia shrieked out of anger. How could this happen in front of her eyes? Her eyes averted on Oliver!
"You, didn't you lose your hand because of them? How could you neglect this?"
"Milady, how should I know what was going inside her chamber in the left tower?"
Livia found these excuses useless because he could have settled a maiden there but his brain was too poor for giving a chance to think well.
Facing the magician, she said, "she should not give birth to that child, sir. Simon. I don't care about what my father wishes."
He bowed his head, however, he needed to find out who was the person who he saw two days before. If she had a guard then it could be hard to approach her and he had to handle this from a further view.
"As you wish my lady."
Livia dismissed Oliver and walked to the window. Pulling the curtain away, she saw the wizard's reflection in the glass.
"Why did you hide behind this old mask, sir. Simon?"
Her eyes rolled on the mirror, it was the only object that could show the real face of this man.
He was a young man with, long straight silver hair, his eyes as green as grass and heavenly handsome.
"Because it suits my age." He replied, walking to the table, he blocked her sight.
"But you are an immortal and it is not bad."
"If I knew that stream in the hell had the immortality water, I would not have it."
"Do you like death?"
"No, however, I wanted to taste it one day but it has been three hundred years that passed the day I drank that water and I am still alive."
Livia nodded, but could not understand why was he here? He could run away when she caught him with that magical globe that could show the past life.
"Could you find my son?"
"Yes, he had entered a gate that has a way to another world. The abyss of hell."
Livia swallowed, how did her son end up there? rumors were saying that those who cross that gate would never return.
"He will return, prince Wilmore had saved him, if he wanted to kill him, he would have let him drown."
The wizard stated.
"I am curious about my son's previous life, I would like to see it when he is here."
The wizard bowed, they just needed his blood to see it. Going to the door, the princess left the man's chamber.
Simon changed his feature as soon as she left and looked into the mirror. Grinning at his reflection said, "it seems I am going to have fun, among Royals life won't be boring anymore."

When Rof returned from the south, the ladies were still talking. The princess left quickly after seeing that her sister-in-law was truly pregnant.
Rof laid on the bed, memorizing the King's last gaze, it was still alive as if he would come to catch his throat with his fangs.
"Ah, I survived this time but he would prepare a mad punishment, surely."
He closed his eyes and waited for those ladies down there to leave.
Inside the living room, the Queen was wearing a wide smile. She had earned what she wanted, making her son give another heir to them.
"Lady Monaghan, do you see how fantastic Lucas's daughters are?"
The woman had pink cheeks, she smiled back at the Queen, "Yes, Lady Elizabeth is beautiful too. I am wondering if she is single!"
Elizabeth was about to choke because of the sip of tea she had but held her face and said, "I am engaged to the son of my uncle's friend."
She cleared it for them to cut this off right here.
"Pity, I could have introduced you to my cousin's son."
What Ell could pass her was a sheepish smile.
"Please take care of the prince's wife, Lady Elizabeth. In his absence, we are responsible for her health."
The Queen stated, however, she was concerned about her son. He didn't know that she was pregnant, but... Would the King truly hide this from him? No, King Edward wouldn't conceal such an important matter from their son, perhaps he informed Wilmore through a secret bird.
"I will protect my sister with my life, my Queen. It is my honor to stand by her side and see you happy."
The Queen nodded, this girl was brave and carefully let the word out.
Standing up, she tended to leave and let Luna be in comfort. Now, it was her health that mattered and certainly, these ladies' presences would bring her distress.
The Queen looked at Kate, "neither of the mistresses are allowed to put Lady Luna in discomfort. Make sure you are taking care of it."
The Queen just commanded Kate like a soldier so it meant she estimated any menace that could harm Luna.
Kate bowed, with this she was permitted to kill those who aimed Luna's life.
Right after this order, the Queen's eyes drifted on Maxima, "it is a task for all of us."
Maxima was quiet after congratulating the Queen but it was better to stand by the Queen's side instead of the troublesome princess. While leaving the mansion, she caught Elenore's expression that was shrouded in hate. Maxima was lucky that this poisonous snake wasn't like the woman she was once in the past otherwise, she would have put Natasha's head in front of her for killing the king's mistress and kidnapping her. She didn't care if Livia was behind it all, Elenore could not endure this stuff.
"Rof! He must have come back." Elizabeth recalled.
Rof appeared in the living room. He could take a short snooze and when they left, he instinctively jumped in.
"Rof, did you see them?"
"Yes, I saw my king!"
He looked around. The maidens brought him discomfort. Looking out he saw captain Nemo by the door who was peering at him.
"Can we talk privately? I can't speak in front of many."
Luna hastened her strides and led them to the office that belonged to Lady Narayan once.
