"Gaven you should go and find the Alux, this is a straight order."
Turning to Bryant he said, "guard the ladies day and night."
Bryant had no idea what was going on but without asking further questions he marched the courtyard with large strides.
The King and another man went to his office where he could involve his head with something that had no relation with vampires. The King of Alovena had a cold hand, as cold as a corpse.
"Who did buy your soul?" He asked himself.
Gaven went to his library, then vanished, appearing inside a room full of devices for making potions, he went to a crowded chest and began to search inside it. He could swear that he was the messiest wizard among the members of the table.
Wandering among the tools inside his chest, eventually, he found the object he was looking for. A unique silver mirror that could show the real face of magicians. He knew that this man could reveal his face in normal mirrors but what he was looking for sounded different, those regular mirrors could not show someone's aura.
He steadied himself and walked to the door, opening the door, he stepped out inside the balcony. He sniffed the cold air and roughness of his land. A castle was on the peak of a mountain that had deserted houses on its skirts.
"Being a crown prince was a nightmare and being a part-time king is even worse. When I come back I must fix this land. Life has returned here."
He grinned widely and his green eyes glinted. He vanished, the door slammed back behind him, and he appeared in the forest near a small mansion.
Getting closer he saw Kate and said, "why are you wandering here?"
Kate flinched, she could not sense his presence.
"I..." She stammered.
"Are you worried about your faerie?"
Kate blushed.
"Master, why can't we hide something from you?"
The dwarf shrugged, "well, I saw many people, this is why I can read the emotions not even related to magic. Love is beyond magic, dear, stronger."
Kate could not comment when a wise man like the wizard was saying these words.
"Are you here to see Lady Elizabeth?"
"Yes, I must ask her some questions, besides, I need her help to distract that wizard!"
Kate nodded, it was a huge mistake to let Rof suffer among them more than this.
They went inside and the dwarf first went to check on Lady Luna. She was talking and spending time with Saya and Aya.
He bowed for the ladies and desired, "Lady Luna, may I check your pulse?"
Luna smiled softly, of course, he could do it. Extending her hand, the dwarf took her hand and closed his eyes, her heartbeat was good and despite what she heard it seemed the ladies around her could calm her down. She would be happy to hear that lady Natasha was coming within two days after checking on Greenwood. But as Natasha wished, it must remain a surprise.
"Both of you are fine."
Luna heaved a breath out of comfort. Her son was strong.
"I must see your sister, I hope you forgive my rudeness."
"Did you see the king of Abyss in today's session?"
Luna nodded, master Gaven was not like always so she didn't put him in distress in front of the ladies.
Kate guided the dwarf to Elizabeth's room, she was depressed and couldn't sit among the girls in the living room, they could talk over every single matter but she wasn't certain whether it was possible for her.
Kate knocked on the door and announced the dwarf's presence. She jumped up, wishing that this man had brought him the Alux but when she opened the door, her face twitched paler. No, he didn't bring her friend.
"Lady Elizabeth, I see that you love the Alux so much."
"Yes, he is my dear friend, actually before him, I had only my sister and Ryan but he is different and now I can't save him."
"I can, please don't worry."
The man walked forward and held her hand. Kate calmly closed the door.
"But I need your help to distract the magician, now tell me everything, the details you discovered is important. I only know one hybrid magician but he must be dead when he decided to explore in hell."
Elizabeth started up with the beginning and what she heard in Princess's chamber. And at the end said, "there is something more which wasn't related to the other day."
"What is it?"
"That essence, what if a vampire consumes it? Can they become mightier if they have it?"
Master Gaven just peered at her, what was she saying? Which vampire had used that essence?
"Did you discover any vampire around?"
"Yes, there were blood drops in the forest, then I followed the traces until they sent me to the back of princess residence, but they vanished. Is there any secret way under her place?"
"There is, and if what you are saying is utterly true and she is assisting the stray vampires that prince Tristan wants to catch, we need no more clue to bring her down."
Kate uttered bravely.
"Shush, lady Kate! The King must decide what to do with his daughter."
"Sure!"
"What should I do master Gaven?"
Elizabeth asked, now she only cared about Rof.
"Tonight, take the magician out, as you said, now he is curious about you. I will release the Alux, King William was concerned about him."
"Did you see him? Is he doing well?"
"Yes, they are hunting the remaining of the devils. But what makes me apprehensive is that if the first parents of those beasts have enough blood and flesh, they can turn into human figures. Then who can recognize them?"
What the dwarf said gave Ell goosebumps. They could deceive humans and make a demon race and claim thrones.
"For now, focus on our current issue, if a new era is starting, we need to see what we are facing and the magician in here is included."
The dwarf added and bowed his head.
"I'll see you at midnight, now put down your distress and have some food to gain stamina.. That magician should not catch you."
