"Hmph, it seems like my mood has been disrupted." Queen Fiona said. "Let’s have tea together some other time Isabella. You can stay if you want. I will be going back to rest. I feel a headache coming."And just like that the queen left the green house. The young girl looked really awkward while looking at the queen leaving. She had a sad bitter face showing. "Are you okay?" I asked her. "I-I am sorry." The young girl was startled. "B-Because of me, your tea with queen mother was interrupted. If I have known before hand, then I would have visited the greenhouse in the afternoon." "You frequent here in the greenhouse?" I tried to start a friendly conversation with her. "By the way, my name is Isabella." I gave her a friendly smile. "Sorry I forgot to introduce myself." The young girl curtsied to me. "My name is Elsa Astrid, princess of Geneva and the queen’s second child." "So you really are the queen’s daughter?" I was surprised. This young girl doesn’t have the same features a r

[Ragnar’s POV]Days have passed by since the last report of Bob from Geneva came. After learning about Isabella waking up and is well, I had some peace of mind and was able to get a good night’s sleep after these past six months.The war against Geneva has been progressing slowly. General Austin of the navy has winning battles on water. Avalon has been gaining Genevan ports one after the other at a slow pace. As for General Gregory, he was been managing the battles in the central plains well. And for General Kelvin that has been ordered to defend the mountain passage, he was at least doing a good job. Genevan soldiers are adept with the mountainous terrain and the cold weather unlike our Avalon soldiers. And so the advice my capable advisers has given to General Kelvin has been very helpful. Defending is a lot easier with a good vantage point rather than push forward where we know we would be in a disadvantage.When I looked at the piece of paper reporting the movements of the crown p

[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

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

"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
