[Isabella’s POV]My aunt Queen Fiona has started to train me using mind magic for these past few weeks. I have been practicing diligently in the greenhouse which has a considerable distance from the palace which is made with titanium.Here inside the greenhouse, I was able to practice my magic skills under ’supervision’. Guards are stationed near the entrance and both Bob and Mary were ordered to monitor me. Good thing that Bob is on my side. I still need to reel in Mary to my side as well.These past few weeks, Elsa has been accompanying me. Every day that we spend with each other’s company, the more we get closer like sisters. "I can’t believe big brother is such a player!" Elsa was fuming with anger. "What is the matter Sasa?" I asked curiously. "I was wondering why I wasn’t seeing big brother Darius these past month. I know that meeting him by chance in this huge palace is a few, but at least I can see him a few times in a month." Elsa pouted her lips in irritation. "And then I
[Isabella’s POV]Two months has passed by since I have woken up here in Geneva. I have been locked up inside the palace and haven’t been able to go out. But I have been easing my way into my aunt’s heart.I have been very good, following all my aunt’s rules. I can sense that she is starting to trust me. Just a few days ago I asked her if I can go out to see the town capital of Geneva. My aunt agreed with the condition that her assigned knights will keep watch and guard me. Of course my two servants, Bob and Mary will keep a closer watch over me as well.Currently I was with my mother inside her room. I have been visiting her every day and tried talking to her. I have told her about my life inside the palace of Wales, Father, Grandpa Marcus and Williams , and about Ragnar. I told her that I was now engaged and is about to get married to the love of my life.My mother was still reactionless, only smiling lightly towards me. Today I thought about telling her the hardships that I have fac
Our trip by carriage lasted for at least two hours before arriving at the city capital of Geneva. Like Wales capital, this city was also bustling with life. This country is currently at war with Avalon, but the people are in ’business as usual’ mode. "The city capital is also quite big, similar to Wales." I said while peeking out from the curtains of the carriage window. "Yes, the city is quite big. It is found at the center most part of Geneva." Elsa explained. "Oh, so that’s why it is a little warmer here than the palace." I said. "The palace is situated just a little north from the city but the climate is a little harsher because of the winds coming from the most northern part." Elsa explained.I nodded in understanding. "And your family is living at the far north, right Mary?" I looked at Mary. "Yes your highness. It is harsher to live there but because the old people don’t want to leave their own lands. That is why they try to go on and live there." Mary said. "We young peop
"Snow!" I was shocked that I screamed her name. I picked her up and petted her instantly. "I missed you so much." Tears started to form at the rim of my eyes. ’Long time no see Isabella. I missed you too, so much.’ Snow purred while I petted her in my arms. "Your highness!" I saw Mary pop up from a bookshelf corner and rushed to me. "I heard you scream. Is there something wrong?" I quickly tucked Snow in between the books in the bookshelf. "Ohh, ah no. There’s nothing wrong." I said. "What I meant was snow is starting to fall outside. I was just worried that we would get snowed in here."Mary looked outside the window and indeed snow was starting to fall. "It is only light snow your highness. Don’t worry." "Hmm okay." I nodded. "By the way Mary, can you please get me something warm to drink and send it to the reading lounge? I will be going there soon after I pick the books I want to read." "Of course your highness." Mary bowed and left. "Phew, that was close." I sighed in reli
"Let me lead the way." Philip said while holding the lighted torch in his hands. "Hmm, okay." I nodded in agreement.Once we started to ascend, the painting started to go down from behind us. "Well, we have no choice but to go forward I guess." Philip said.The staircase that was leading up is enclosed with no windows, hence it was dark. The torch Phil was holding is the only source of light.We have been climbing up the staircase for a while and we were hit on a dead end. Only a wall was seen in front of us. "A dead end? Philip said curiously. But then I saw a crack on the wall sipping with light. "Look." I pointed to Philip and he saw the crack.Philip peeked inside for a while before looking at me once again. "There is a room beyond this wall." Philip exclaimed. "But how can we go there?" "Let me take a look." I said.Philip gave way for me. I inspected the wall right in front of me. I tried to feel the walls surface with my hands. After sometime I felt a rough texture with
"Well, I don’t know about you guys but I am finished here." The woman said while stretching her arms up. "Oh, I am done as well." The man said. "Me too. Let’s tidy up and go home for the day." The other man said.The three people tidied up their work and left the room one after the other. "I am famished." One man said. "Let’s go and grab a bite once outside." The other man said. "Be sure to lock the doors before we leave." The woman reminded. "Yeah, yeah. Locking it right now." One man said.After the three people left and closed the door, I heard a click on the lock outside. That was when I knew that the coast is clear. "Philips." I called lightly. "The coast is clear. You can come down with Snow."Not long, Philip arrived where I was standing but was looking around searching for me. "Isabella , where are you?" Philips asked. "Oh, sorry. I’m still invisible." I giggled. I canceled my camouflage magic and I was visible once again. "Ohh, there you are." Philips said with a s
While we were fixing the things we decided to bring, we heard footsteps coming from the way we used to get here. Phillips and I stopped what we were doing and looked at each other.Phillips gestured with his finger to be silent and unsheathed his sword. I squatted on a bookshelf to hide myself. I used my magic to make an ice dagger if ever I need to help Philips fight.I can hear the footsteps coming near my hiding spot. I gripped my ice dagger tightly while my heat was thumping rapidly behind my chest. When the footsteps were just right beside me I sprung in front and moved my ice dagger to the obvious kill, the neck.But before my dagger hit where I was aiming, my dagger flew out of my hand. I can still feel the vibration when something hit my ice dagger and make it fly away from my hand. I was surprise with the sudden events. But when I thought the assailant had the upper hand, I saw Philip brandishing his sword at the throat of the said assailant. "Whoa... hold your horses!" A fa
"What was that?!" Elsa stood up startled. She hurriedly walked towards the window to look outside. "The people from below are look up. What is happening, what are they looking at? ’cling cling cling.’ The sound of a huge bell is heard ringing immediately. I stood up from my sit acting in panic.The reading room door opened in a bang and the knights stationed to guard the door outside came inside in panic. "Your highnesses, there is a fire going on at the top floor of the library." The knight said in alarm. "The people inside the library are being ushered outside the building for safety purposes." "Hmm, I understand." I replied. "Elsa, we have to go out of the building fast. A fire has started at the top floors." "O-Okay." Elsa replied in shock. "B-But what about the books? These precious books." She was wide eye in shock. "Leave them be Sasa, our safety is our primary concern for now." I said with a serious face. "I-I understand." Elsa said with a sad face. I took her hand and
