The person turned around and I was shocked to see who it was. He was my teacher. He trained me and Colt since our childhood. He also worked for Father. He's the one who told us about Stilla's death reason. He was a F.T. of our kingdom.
I realised He was missing since Carson took over The Rowan. I never thought about looking for him. Now facing him like this..
Ft, "You have a lot of questions
Prince Rao. "
R,"Were you hiding?"
Ft,"Not really. I was looking for something."
Sky entered the room. With her arrogant tone, "It was too boring outside. Im here to listen to his story again. It was fun."
R,"what...story?"
Ft, "Im sorry to say this but...I saw destruction."
R,"what do you mean?"
Ft, "The king will soon pass away and the kingdom wont last long. It will be faded away from the map."
I was too furious to hear that. Is Carson not aware of it?! Why is he not taking care of it. I thought As his own kingdom he would do anything to protect it. My attention turns up to other words of him. Father...?
R,"Father is alive...?", I turned to Stilla.
Ft, "The king is alive and he's now too weak. He'll pass away anytime."
R, "I want to see him!", I almost shouted.
S,"What's so hurry~ Let's hear the next story"
R,"Next story?! What else is left to hear."
Ft, "An Intruder has entered in this space of time."
I stood there like im listening to nonsense.
"Explain!", I shouldnt be this inpatient with my teacher but he was speaking too slowly and my anger rose up. I just found out my father is alive when I thought I lost him.
Ft took out a blue ball infront of us. He touched it and turned to us.
Ft, "a time traveler entered. The person's power is too strong. Even I can feel it. The person is an Intruder from different world. And most importantly , It's intension is not something positive. It would soon leave with something precious and important for this kingdom."
"The time is close. So is that person. It's around us and looking for chances. it's dissappearence from this world ...is somehow connected to the Kingdom's destruction. "
R,"So...if we catch the person...the future can change? Rowan wont be eliminated right?"
Ft was about to say something but Sky stops him. "Not only catch, We need to kill It. So that it wont bring up the reason for Rowan's elimination."
R,"So...Should I just look for that person..? How is it even possible.There's too many people out there ,adding that It's trying to hide. I wanna see my father first."
Once again, Ft was stopped by Sky.
S,"Prince Rao, You need to save this kingdom first. I'll only let you visit your father when you kill that intruder."
R,"How is it even connected?!?"
S,"You need to save my brother's kingdom. So that after our marriage he can award you."
R,"(nonsense...) Ft, I have no idea where to look for that person...."
Ft was silent for a second but then he took out some powder from his desk. He throws them on the blue ball. It changed it's color and I could see a person.
R,"(Lora.....?)"
S,"Looks like it's a girl. Good for you. It wont be that hard."
R,"I know her. She has family and cousins here. How can she be a time traveler-"
Ft,"It wasnt even a soul exchange. The person came by with her own self."
At this point It was clear that Ren lied about her. No wonder I saw her in my dreams so many times. That place was a different world.
R,"How can she be a reason of this kingdom's destruction. What can she even do-"
FT,"She came to take away Princess Stilla."
R,"How is she involved...what did she do to her?"
Ft, "I forgot to inform the king about it since I wasnt sure myself. "
R,"Sure about what?"
Ft,"A year ago my magic felt a lost star entering this time. It randomly landed on a person of our own. "
R,"Of our own....You mean-"
Ft,"Princess Stilla. I felt her soul dissappearing and being exchanged with another one. She died and came back cause her body was taken over by a lost star."
R,"This is not possible....How-", I was almost losing my balance.
Ft,"The princess Stilla we've been seeing for the past year is not the real one. Her death already happened due to drowning."
Suddenly Everything started making sense. A year ago, Stilla was missing for a whole day. When she came back she was all wet and lost in her thoughts. She looked up to me as stranger. It was all because...It wasnt my sister Stilla.
Sky grabbed my hand and pulls me outside. I was still in shock. I wanted to cry but I was confused what to do. How did I never noticed her diffetences.
I heard Sky calling me. I regained my senses and found us almost in the hallway.
S,"you need to pull yourself together. This isnt a time for this."
R,"what...do...you want me to do?"
S,"Pretty simple. Kill that Intruder. Then I'll let you visit your father."
Kill her?!? Kill Lora? Kill someone whom I wanted so badly.... She turned into my greed. I wanted her to spend our life together. How easy it is to say that I can just kill her.
My expression were odvious enough to tell Sky that I wasnt willing.
S,"Is it not strong enough? Should I involve....Your precious sister?"
R,"Keep her out of this."
S,"You said it even after knowing she's not real.how much of a fool are you?
I cant figure out why you're delaying. Is it because....You like her?"
Like her...Is this what it is?
S, "Even if you do, You better clean up the mess. I'll destroy everything that comes in my way.
You have two choices.
one, Save that intruder while your father and sister dies..
Two, Kill her and save your family. Including your kingdom."
Is this what I really have to do...?In the end...Im gonna be the one who'll make her dissappear...
As plan, I tricked her and took her out of the palace. Sky and her soldiers were waiting for our arrival. When we reached,Sky stabbed her with a sword. I stood there and watched her dying. She kept saying "You betrayed me" . I betrayed you...Im a betrayer and a failure.
