"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
Elsa, Bob!" I called them after they landed safely on the ground.Bob was carrying Elsa protectively in his arms. "What happened? How is she?" I asked immediately once I was near them. I saw Elsa covered with black ashes and stains on her skin and dress. Her eyes were closed and she wasn’t responding. "Don’t worry princess, she just fainted." Bob reassured me but I can’t get myself to calm down until someone checks on her. "Medic!" I looked around and called for a medic. "Is any medic free to look at the princess?!" "I can check on her your highness." A female medic came running towards us with her bag. "Please lay her down on the stretcher over there."Bob carefully laid Elsa down on the stretcher where there is cover from the rain. The female medic checked her up instantly. My heart was beating faster and faster because of anxiety. "Don’t worry Isabella, I am sure everything will be fine." Philips was beside me and comforting me. "I pray so." I whispered. "If something bad sho
What the hell happened ??!!" Queen Fiona’s voice echoed inside the royal office.The three people that last entered the hidden section of the library were seen on the floor kneeling in front of the queen with their heads bowed down and hitting the floor. "P-Please spare us your majesty." One of the men said with a quivering voice. "W-We didn’t know what happened." The other man said with fear in his voice. "W-We left there without any incidents happening." "Then how can you explain how and why the fire started?!" The queen asked furiously. "It is said in the investigation that the fire started on that section of the building!" "W-We are not sure your majesty." The woman said with a shaking voice. "M-Maybe someone started the fire." She wanted to make an excuse and divert the queen’s anger and escape punishment. "Oh, but you said earlier ago that you were sure that you locked the doors before all of you left." The queen said mockingly. "Do you think I am a fool?!!" Her voice resou
[Ragnar’s POV]Time flew by fast and the war was still on going. We were winning battle upon battle slowly yet surely. Isabella’s letters come in once every week and those letters are what gave me strength and hope in this ongoing battle with Geneva. "Your majesty." Kyler walked inside my office. "A letter from Geneva just arrived." "From Isabella?" I looked at the envelope that was passed to me by Kyler with glee. "Yes your majesty. And there is another one from Philip." Kyler said after giving me the two envelopes. "From Philip?" I looked at the envelope that has an unfamiliar handwriting. "What could it be?" I decided to open Philip’s letter first before Isabella’s. I was thinking to savor her words later.After opening the envelope, I took out Philip’s letter and read it. The contents were about the plans of Geneva for a sneak attack in the junction between the Euphrates river and the Tristian Channels. He said that Geneva has been hiding their massive naval fleet and plans t
Back in Wales, Prince Darius has already left the palace with his new bride the second princess Camila. In the latest discussion between Geneva and Wales, King George only agreed to send half of his army to lend a hand to Geneva in this war if Prince Darius honors his previous word to marry his second daughter Princess Camila therefore making a union between these two countries by marriage.King George was sitting in his office with his head nestled in his closed fists deep in thought. He looked very troubled and seemed to have aged within such a short amount of time. "Father!" Williams came inside abruptly. King George looked at him with irritation. "Didn’t you learn how to knock first before entering someone’s office?" King George frowned. "That isn’t important now!" Williams said with a raised voice. "Why...why did you lend Geneva half of our army? And why did you make my sister marry that perverted prince?! He openly says that he loves my sister Isabella but he is marrying my o
[Back in Geneva] [Isabella’s POV]Weeks have passed since the incident at the library. So far there were still no results in the investigation about the fire. It is still unknown to the public how the fire started.Fortunately no one was injured severely. Elsa also recovered after a few days of rest. She has come back to her usual self except for one thing that I observed, she usually blushes when Bob is near us.Like the usual day, after I have eaten my breakfast I come to visit my mother in her quarters. I was walking with Philips and Bob behind me through the hallway when I heard Elsa’s voice. "Big sis!" Elsa called out. I turned around to see her trotting towards us. But by the time Bob turned around, she lessened her pace and became more graceful. This made me giggle lightly. "Good morning big sister." Elsa made a curtsy after stopping just in front of us. "Good morning Sasa." I smiled. "You seem a little bit hot. Your face is a little flushed. Have you been running all this
The surroundings were first pitch black but then it lighted up to a grayish color. I was standing on a road which was a few meters wide. This wasn’t the first time I have been here because every time I came inside my mother’s mind, this was the road I was standing.Since the first time I came here, I have walked a bit far. I have destroyed at least four walls that have blocked my path. Every wall was bigger, wider and sturdier than the last one and breaking them has been difficult. The last wall took me five days to break.I walked a little bit and saw a shadow looming from the horizon. When I was getting nearer, I see another wall blocking my path. This was the fifth wall so far and it was the highest one of all. It also looked thick and sturdy. Making a path will surely be difficult. "No, I need to do this today." I said to myself with resolve.I walked towards the wall and stopped right in front of it. I put my palms on the wall and feel the surface. "It feels solid as it looks.
I slowly walked towards the village entrance, looking around as I go. Once I arrive at the entrance, I see villagers bustling around. It was as if this place truly exists. I see familiar faces here and there. That just validated my suspicion from earlier. This truly is my village but it should be from years ago. The familiar faces I am seeing right now has the same age as the day when I was still young. Many years have passed and so they surely aged by now but the people here has the same age years ago. I looked at a familiar bakery at a corner of the street where I frequently buy our bread. The mister there was old and before my father took me with him, that mister has passed away. But now I can see the mister happily placing the bread he has baked on the counter. While I was walking around the people were moving about like normal but they don’t seem to notice me. "Um, excuse me." I talked to a young woman walking by but she didn’t reply let alone even look at me. "Hello." I t
