Chapter 43

Crimson's POV

We waited for Leon to bring whatever it was from under the bed and he eventually did but he used a cloth to bring it out.

"Leon, what is that?" I asked.

"I wonder what they teach you in your Queen lesson," Leon said, his voice filled with mockery and amusement.

"It's a gem, a rare one at that, wherever this gem is left somewhere, something bad will surely happen, someone is bound to get hurt or even worse dies," Leon said, dropping the gem on the table.

"I know This gem but not everyone can touch it, except the person who controls it," Katrina said.

"That's why you were burnt Crown Princess Crimson, because the gem was used to touch you," Leon explained.

"Not everyone can acquire the gem except some special type of people," Leon said and turned to look at Tyramon.

"Special type of people, do you mean the fairies?" Katrina asked and Leon nodded his head.

"How do you know all these?" A curious Rosa asked Katrina.

"They were taught in Crown Princess Crimson Queen's class," Katrina said with so much excitement.

"I was taught?" I asked, pointing at myself. I was so sure I wasn't taught or maybe I never paid attention in class.

"I knew these things were taught, the problem is the Crown princess," Leon smirked. I know Leon was enjoying talking to me in this matter but right now I have no choice but to keep shut.

"At Least now we know, what next?" I asked, brushing off his remark.

Leon moved to Tyramon and Tyramon took a step backward, "so what's next? What do we do Now?" Leon said.

"I do not know prince Leon," Tyramon said 

"What do you mean, you don't know!" I yelled.

"Right now, I am powerless, since I came out of Crown Princess Crimson's room I had been weak ever since then," Tyramon said to Leon. I remember hitting her with a diamond ring with some poisonous stuff in it but how does this affect our situation right now?

"Blood," Rosa said, pointing by the side of my bed.

We moved to the side of my bed, Leon used his hand to touch the blood and perceived it. His eyes turn red.

"Wow! I haven't even gotten to that part of my training," I exclaimed.

"This is yours and Aethelfrith's blood," Leon said, he entered the bathing room to wash his hands.

"That's not possible, I never went near Aethelfrith when I was injured," I said, adamantly.

"You went there, but can't just remember anything," Tyramon said.

"Are you calling me a liar? I fell asleep and when I woke up Aethelfrith was gone!" I raised my voice at her.

"My point exactly, what if you were never at sleep before Aethelfrith got missing," Tyramon said, she walked closer to me and put her hand on my Head, after something she jotted away from me.

"I am too weak and she is too strong," Tyramon said panting, "so I can't look into her memories to see exactly what took place."

"What are you? Leon, what is she? Because I am very sure we can't look into people's memory."

"Crown Princess Crimson, that's not the issue right now, first what did you give her to make her weak?" Leon asked.

"I don't know what you are talking about," I answered.

"You need to tell me, so I can find the antidote for her and use her to find Aethelfrith," Leon said.

"It doesn't have an antidote, she will get better with time," I said.

"Time? Crimson did you just say time? Time is what we do not have right now! Don't you get it, time isn't on our side," Leon yelled.

"Do you think I don't know that? I am very much aware, time isn't on our side but it doesn't have an antidote!" I yelled back with the same attitude, "and don't ever disrespect me like that, ever!" 

"You still have time to talk about your title even in this situation," Leon scoffed. At this point I felt like hitting his head on the wall and feeding him to the animals in the forest.

I was about to reply Leon what I heard, "Meaning, that child was a shapeshifter," Rosa said out loud, 

"What did you say? come again," Leon said and moved closer to Rosa.

"I figured out that the child was a shapeshifter because I just remembered, he walked like a woman and he said something about nails," Rosa explained what she taught.

"Crimson, let me see your hand," Leon held my hand, removed the gloves and checked what he wanted to check.

"Rosa is right, it is indeed a shapeshifter," Leon said.

"How do you know?" Tyramon asked.

"When the child injured you, he made a mistake," Leon showed everyone the mark on my hand and the mistake, "with this mistake, only Crimson can find him."

"How can I find him?" I asked.

"Follow me to the library and I will show you," Leon said.

"It means a fairy is in this realm now, that's how another fairy entered," Katrina said.

"What do you mean?" Leon asked.

"A fairy has never been in this Realm, someone with the royal power brought a fairy into this Realm which opened the door for other fairies and other things that aren't allowed in this Realm," Katrina explained.

"How do you know about this?" I asked.

"I heard the king scolding someone about bringing a fairy into this Realm," Katrina said.

Leon stood in between Tyramon and I, "If anything happens to Aethelfrith, you will pay and I will make sure of it," Leon said and stormed out of the room.

A fairy in this Realm how? Between who was he talking to, me or Tyramon?
