Elizabeth lied, her tone didn't change from what it had become since last day. Luna noticed it because she didn't come to hug her but she pushed her guts to be slightly patient until things utterly become descent.
Ryan took his seat near Elizabeth and Luna could discern both of the shadows in front of her.
"Tell me from the beginning! I don't care if the faerie said there is no cure for the curse itself."
Luna pleaded.
Miguel returned to his seat, his eyes rolled on Margaret and Barbara. They shook their head, he was sure that Luna had been in distress too much.
"Alright, I am telling you what the Knight told me."
Uncle Miguel states.
"Please, uncle! Let Elizabeth tell us."
Luna wanted to hear her voice, perhaps retelling the occurrence from her could calm Elizabeth's heart.
Elizabeth began to narrate what had happened until they reached the village. But when she arrived at the part which was related to the moon reader she hesitate, she traded a glance with Ryan then Barbra who was holding her satchel.
"Can you please give me that?"
Barbara marched ahead and handed her bag, then stood beside the couch's arm.
She unzipped it and didn't take out the pomegranate that was smashed but put out that luxury vial given to her uncle.
"This is what the faerie had given me and in exchange desired my hairpin."
Miguel grabbed the cure. If he knew the illness was a curse indeed, he could have found the cure a long time ago.
"What about the villagers? Are they fine?"
Luna asked, ignoring the cure.
"Yes, they are fine." Ryan fabricated it because of discerning that she heard enough.
"Can we go home?" Elizabeth wished, she wanted to coil in her bed until the moon could come up to the dark sky again.
"Yes, as soon as Jason and his father come back." Miguel replied, turning to the bulky butcher that Elizabeth knew as butcher McCain, he added, "We go for a talk so you ladies can have some time."
Miguel went on his feet, he gathered them to hear each other, and now that things ran fine he was tending to talk to men.
He went to his son and led him up. Dorian guided them to another room and told his son, "take care of ladies, young man! I will talk to you later."
Lucas steadied his shoulders and put air into his throat, "yes, father."
The men left the hall with grins at the young man. Elizabeth kept looking at Lucas.
"You are handsome, Mister Lucas."
Elizabeth chanted.
"Thank you so much, sister! You are so pretty too. I think I must redraw that painting!"
Elizabeth poorly smiled. What was he talking about? Whatever it was, made this cute face even cuter.
The little boy nodded. Elizabeth grinned mischievously.
"Ask sister Luna to draw our painting, now three of us."
"I think we must make it four of us! That hurt brother is also too handsome and looks strong. I want him to be in our painting."
Lisa and Elenore chuckled so the ladies near the sofas.
"Elizabeth, he considers chocolate as food, just like you! I think you can make up a good team with him."
Luna noted.
"I guessed so because last month I saw them in a candy shop!"
Elizabeth peered into his eyes, knowing if he remembered. She wished that if they could meet in a better duration, then they could be happy but unfortunately, a disaster brought them all together and despite her strives, she couldn't smile, more wanted to go somewhere alone and scream.
"Elizabeth, was Phola beautiful?"
Asked Lisa.
"Yes, people were feasting wholly different than here. They were happy, enjoying their life with a simple thing not like here or other towns, too lavishly. Everything there was magical. For a moment, I thought I am in faerie land. It was like a warm home, to me."
She frowned as the last words jumped out of her mouth. A home? She had a perfect family but why would say that? why would feel that she was close to home?
"Tonight will be an amazing night, I wish you could stay here."
Elenore was trying to keep them but Elizabeth wasn't comfortable.
"Why don't you come? From here to Riva isn't a long distance."
Lisa invited them.
"I will talk to Dorian, you know that they must be busy with the corpse of the imp."
"I understand."
Lucas pouted, he didn't see the imp's form and only heard descriptions. At least a drawing could help him to recognize the flying creature.
"Sister Luna! Where can I see and imp drawing?"
Luna remained speechless. She wasn't sure if she could answer this question without his parents' permission.
"Bella, bring the holy book."
Replied Elenore, reading Luna's expression.
The maiden obeyed the order and strode to the library, she crossed the left corridor in the living room. Her heart was pounding. How could a child desire such a thing? Besides, she was certain that was a good idea to educate little master.
She reached the end of the corridor where a white door was on her left side, she turned the latch and the door went wide. The library was big, Elenore who hadn't time to read novels now gathered a collection of them. Those sisters taught her lessons that without her imagination her life would be wasted.
The room hadn't a high height to reach its arch articulated ceiling. The room had four aisles that all reached to a wall where a huge dark glossy polished ebony wood was.
Bella went to the third aisle and marched ahead until arriving at a small table that had a fragile glassy box. It was near the main table, again made of the ebony strong wood. She put up the glass and carefully placed the box there and picked the book with a thick leather cover. The carved figures on it were scary, not like what she used to see in the other houses. The book was big and she hardly managed to put it on the table. Returning the box to its previous place, she carried the book.
