“Do you know why you can read The Cotts when my father asked you to read it?”
“The Cotts?” He saw Irina nodded. He vaguely remembered what was written on the black leather book. “I think I do.”
“You do?”
“Yes, because it’s the book of prophecy.”
Her facial expression was a combination of disappointment, relief, a question on why he insisted to chase her, and a feeling she didn’t recognize when she said “Ahh…”
“Is there something that I need to know?” Asked Lucas.
Irina didn’t want to reveal anything. She gave Lucas a shrug as a respond.
They sat by the river bank. A serene bree

He brought her hand closer to his face then lovingly planted a kiss on it. His action managed to gain her attention back to him. “This is common room where we usually gather to share knowledge and information amongst the three kingdoms.” “Ohh…” Came her short respond. The door swung open harshly. Three curious eyes glued at Irina’s hand. They were halted by the door. On the way from surprise to shock.

She stood quietly at the end of the corridor before she made a turn to the common room’s door. “What did you just say?” Irina heard Lucas sounded hostile. “Which part of my story that you can’t understand?” “Lucas, Sebastian is just asking you to have a bit of precaution. Don’t be mad.” The woman tried to console him, thought Irina. What was her name again? I couldn’t remember. “He tends to worry that much since Julian brought back unknown woman to his castle.” The woman continued. “You what?” Irina could imagine Lucas disbelieve look towards Julian. “Nevermind for now.

Smiling, Julian put her hand light off his shoulder. “What do you thing I would do?” Hilda said nothing, then he continued. “I just want to talk to her. Trust me!” “Alright.” Her look showed a little lack of trust. She watched Julian went inside the garden and disappeared behind the first tree. Sighing hard. She went back to the common room. But, on her way back she saw Captain H from the second-floor corridor. Her hand was on the polished wooden fence, the fence was solid and steady supporting her weight when she leaned on it. “Captain.” She called.
