A PROMISE

Both Master and servants had gotten through the gates of house Mistica holding gifts for the king’s beloved first wife.

"Emerald "!,Lorien’s face lit up smiling upon her visit. She hugged her and invited her for tea in the royal garden .

Both ladies walked hand in hand discussing royal and political matters of society .

"I heard Aquaria would be partaking in the event ", Lorien asked in a low tone .

Emerald simply nodded and gave her a pat on the shoulders telling her everything would go according to plan .

They walked for a while before theyfinally sat down to have tea together .

For a while there ,an awkward silence fell between them . Emerald had been bubbling up with so many questions to ask her , like why she left the royal palace .

She called out her name and finally had the courage to ask her after a long while of contemplating whether to ask or not .

Taken aback by what she heard from Emerald’s lips there were dark shades on her eyes .

“ Leaving the royal palace was one of the best decisions I could ever make , I did it for my son Emerald " , she said with little drops of tears flowing down her cheeks .

" You did it for Volk "? , she asked sounding confused .

" Yes , I made a pact with Sylvia many years ago back when my son was suffering from his lung disease and only she knew how to conjure medicine and herbs " .

As she continued she got to know Sylvia had laid down conditions for Lorien to follow .

The first was to move out of the royal palace once the young Prince was of age and the second was for her to never mention any of this to the emperor .

She broke down into tears and out of no where her son had arrived .

"Mother "! , he called out with a stern face .

" I thought I told you not to cry over such things which are in the past , you chose me over father and now we live peacefully far away from that witch Sylvia ".

Emerald sat there having a quick glimpse from a chapter in the novel she now lived in.

The truth was the king never loved Sylvia and only married herto strengthen the political alliance between Wisteria and Mistica realms .

Sylvia had agreed because she found his Majesty handsome and he was quite the powerful sourceror himself as well as a brilliant scholar .

The emperor had been warned of her coming by Lord Fildermort for he had heard many atrocities about her.

"Lorien "! , Emerald called out standing .

" I’ll promise you this , I’ll get you and Prince Volk back into the palace where you are meant to be ".

She was really assured because she believed no one knows a story better than the author herself.

She had promised herself to drive Sylvia out of the realm by any means even if it meant publicly humiliating her .

She grinned deeply internally plotting all the things she would do against Sylvia .

Sooner than they knew the Alliance festival had arrived as quickly as it was told.
