Chapter 13 The Skyfall kingdom
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV
They looked at me. I pointed my legs. I thought I am imagining things when I feel pain on that part. They saw the leech that is sucking my blood.
"What the heck, Cynthia!" he shouted. I gave him a begging glare. Aunt Miranda pick the leech in my feet. I took a deep sigh and looked at my wound.
"That is scary." I said. The two laugh.
"You should be aware of simple things like that big sister." Daisy. I sighed and wiped off the small blood and pulled my clothes down.
"I really should do that." I said. They looked on the drawing that I wrote on the soil. I signed them to enter on the circle. I held his hand.
"Let's try using a teleportation spell. Think of your palace." I said. His eyebrow arched.
"Is this safe?" Daisy.
"I guess." I said making a laugh of worries.
"You are not sure? What if you suddenly teleport us in vampires' lair?!" he shouted at me. I snapped my finger and I opened my eyes. We were standing in a garden at this beautiful palace. He was staring on a certain people. Then he looked at me.
"Not bad for a reborn witch. You learn faster than I thought." he said. I smiled.
"Thank you for praising me. But that is giving me fear. You praise me when I made stupid actions. Don't tell me we are in an enemy's palace?" I said. I am hoping that I didn't do any mistake this time. Wahhh! Help me please! I don't want him nagging at me again for being a stupid simpleton. He has been saving me many times. I really owe him a lot. I blushed when he suddenly pets my head.
"You did it correctly this time. But you still need to work hard, you hear me?" he said. I smiled.
"Uhm!" I nodded. A woman suddenly tried to attack us. My eyes turns pink and I created a barrier. She stopped when a woman spoke.
"Let me just punch my cousin's face. Estella, stop being rude. Why are you attacking our king?" a woman.
"I am not attacking my king. Human and a witch are making my nose itch. I hate their scents." she said. Her eyes turned yellow. I grabbed his arms. He looked at me.
"Don't be afraid. They're part of my pack and important menaces in this kingdom."
"Menaces, huh? Open this Ms. Witch, let me just punch his face. I will be gentle." the other one said. I went in front of him and spread my hand.
"No way! I won't let you lay your hands on Ulysses. I will be protecting you." I said and looked at him. He chuckled which is rare to see. He kissed me in cheeks.
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
I knew that Pricilla is pissed off and worried at the same time. This time she successfully do a spell. We are now in palace. Estella is drinking some coffee with Pricilla. The others also came and even the elders. They look on us. I kiss her on the cheeks because she is cute. She can make me laugh easily.
"Silly. She is my cousin and a duchess of this kingdom. Her name is Pricilla Vargas." I said. She cancel the barrier that she made.
"Good thing that you made alive in mythical forests."
"I hope you have a good reason for the news that I heard you silly king." Pricilla. I take off my long sleeve and suit. They're ruined by blood. They look on the two white tigers that we bring.
"These are mythical beast in green meadows isn't it? What are they doing here?" Chenqian.
"I tamed them. I guess having them as pets will make the palace livelier." I said. The elders came, they turned themselves in their human form.
"You finally return safe, your majesty." elder Tony.
"We finally return safe." I simply said. They look on my companies. She hides in my back.
"They're the elders of this kingdom. Tony Winslet eldest 676 years old. Ruben Frauden second to the elders, he is 623 years old. Allan Sahid, the youngest among the three. He is 589 years old." I said.
"The one who told you that the witch you are looking for is in Dawn kingdom?" she asked.
"Yes. Stop hiding in my back. They won't eat you, you have my ownership mark." I said. She stopped hiding and provided a barrier for the others.
"But they don't. I can't let them be their food."
"Silly." I said and flick her forehead.
"They're not food. Don't dare to scare them." I said. Pricilla sighed and asked first.
"What kind of ruckus did you do in Dawn kingdom you silly alpha? You made an enemy—again!"
"I'm sorry about that. It's me who asked him to help me. He had no choice but to mark me as his mate in order to help me. I am CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN, THE FIRST PRINCESS OF DAWN KINGDOM. Nice meeting you all." she said and bowed down on them.
"Say what?!" they said.
"You heard her. She also have the characteristics of the witch in our prophecy. Lotus scent and lotus blood. She have the lotus mark. Mostly, she is the last pureblood witch in her raise." I said.
"What kind of prophecy is that?" she ask.
"Not going to tell you." I said. She pouted.
"That's unfair! I wanted to know why I am your mate? What if I die in that prophecy?" she ask.
I held her wrist upward and face her closer.
"Why? Are you afraid to die?" I ask. She gave me that brave expression and answer me.
"I I am not! But at least let me have a kid! I mean I wanted to be a mother too." she hissed. That surprises me. Marko laughs softly.
"That is a bold statement."-Chenqian.
"A brazen face woman."-Estella. She pouts again.
"I never knew what it feels like to have a mother. I dream to know what it feels like to be a mother. I wanted to know the pain that mother had when she left me even if she knew that father will...turn his back on me." she said. I let go of her hand. She stepped back and spoke again.
"If I die and have your child...can you promise me that you won't turn your back on him or her? I am not your ideal mate. I know I am weak. I am a crybaby, I am silly, I am naive and I am not powerful. If ever I die, can you promise me to love our child and give her or him the warmth that she or he needed? That's my wish."
"She's serious."-Pricilla. I sighed. I carried her up.
"Stop talking you silly witch. Everyone, let's talk later on. Pricilla, give them clothes, food and room to stay. The tigers will have their own room as well. We will see you again in dinner."-I said.
"Okay, your majesty." they said. We entered inside my palace and carried her in my room. I kick the door opens and kick it close again. I lay her down the bed. She is blushing but she never look away.
"Nope. Let me sleep." I said. I lay beside her and cuddle her. She laugh and cuddle back.
"You're very warm. I like it." she said.
"Silly." I just said. She closes her eyes first. I knew that she is emotionally and physically tired. I sleep also and enjoy her warmth as well.
I get down. I saw Dallas and Daisy playing on the living room. The two tigers are also there.
"Where's that witch?" Estella said. I knew that Estella has feelings on me but as an alpha and a ling, I must follow the elders order.
"Sleeping. She is been drain because of the knew things that she can't control and happen to her."
"I sense that she already died once."-elder Ruben.
"What just had happen in Dawn kingdom, Ulysses?"
"Big brother, we will follow mother in the kitchen and help her. She said she will help the others in preparing the food."-Dallas. I nodded.
"Mother said that we should leave when grown ups are talking about grown up issues. Excuse us." Daisy. They left. Chenqian smiled and giggled.
"I like those kids. They cuties."-she said. I sat down.
SONG CHENQIAN POV
"Then find your mate already." he said.
"Your majesty? Will you kill him for me?" I ask.
"Stop you two. We have to talk about an important matter. Ulysses, it's time to tell what happened in that banquet." Pricilla. I just sigh and listens.
"I am interested in the crown princess, bur apparently I meet Cynthia first. She is the unwanted princess that the palace keeps. All of us know how Cendrea Maximillian protected that kingdom."
"Of course everyone knows. She is the kindest witch that ever live. She helps all the races without a second thought, all of us had experienced her kindness. Save and given a better life after." Vincent.
"Indeed, after mother died because we are being haunted in a village in Qing dynasty, she came and saved me. Look at me, still alive and mother is also happy with her life in a werewolf village in America."
"All of us never thought she'd died." Marko.
"Her death seems to be complicated. You heard Cynthia a while ago. Her life has been shadowed because of her mother's death. That is also the first time that I heard that Cendrea Maximillian is know as a villain Dawn kingdom. That she seduced the king and used him as an escape goat." he said.
"What? For what reason?" I ask. She's not like that!
"Then what is the reason of her death. Up until now the barrier around Dawn kingdom is strong. If a vampire, a witch nor wolves enter in that kingdom with a bad intention will either be vanished or can't be able to enter." Marko.
"We're also nervous and thought you won't make it."
"I also thought. But I sense that the barrier isn't strong anymore. That's when I learn that Cendrea leave a curse to Dawn kingdom and to that idiot king. She cursed him for he won't have an heir, and when he or his bloodline killed Cendrea's daughter... Just like the name of the kingdom, bloodshed will fall to Dawn kingdom." he said.
"What did you mean by that?" elder Allan.
"The Dawn kingdom is now open for haunting."
"You mean if we go there, we don't have to worry about dying or being cursed?" Marko.
"But how about princess Cynthia's issue?" Vincent.
"She is a human when I meet her first. Apparently, her own sister killed her. The curse is activated and she is reborn as a true pureblooded witch. She is now the most powerful one in her kind." he said.
"That's why the three of us sense that she died already." elder Tony. The king nodded. Cynthia suddenly speaks as she walks down the stairs.
"Help me in getting my revenge." Cynthia said.
