After shopping for a few more hours we finally arrived back at the castle. As soon as we stepped into the palace we were greeted by the guards. I ignored their greetings and went straight to the castle library to find some more information about this mysterious stone. I arrive at the three-story library and began my long search for more information.
After about two hours with no luck with either me or Alvion, we sat down to rest. "Should I see if anything has changed with me?" I asked him. I watched him think for a minute. "Let us do that tomorrow. We should retire for the night so we can get up early and ask the elder if he would know of anything. So let's rest for the night. Would you like for me to walk you to your chambers?"
--------------
The next morning I was woken up by the sun shining in my room. I sat up and stretched. It felt like today was going to be a long day. I got out of bed and went to the closet and pulled out a really pretty outfit. It was a small white crop top along with a long red skirt that was in a high to low fashion. I put on a silver ruby necklace. I brushed my hair and braided it in multiple places but left it down but also out of my face.
I began to get lost in my head. 'How are we going to use that rock? Why am I the only one who can use it? Why must it be me? Why was I chosen? I'm a nobody. There are more people out there that can use the powers. Why must..' I was brought out of my thoughts with a knock on the door to my room.
"Princess are you ready to learn about what we found?" said a very deep and husky voice of the person who cares for me. "Yes, I will be right there!" I screamed as I ran to the side of my bed and grabbed the stone and pinned it to my top and ran to the door.
I slung the door open to reveal the ash-blond leaning against the wall with a cup for a drink. "Ohh what did you bring?" I asked out of curiosity. He pushed himself off the wall and walked over to me and handed me the cup. "I brought you some juice the chefs made this morning. It is, quite good. Try it." he said as his crimson eyes stared into my dual-colored eyes.
I took the juice he handed me and took a sip. It tasted like strawberries, blueberries, and pomegranates. It was amazing. I chugged it down before we began our walk to the library. "Well, let's keep looking!" I exclaimed to Alvion as I ran in and went to a different section than yesterday. I heard him laugh and walk in the other direction.
---------------
After three hours of complete silence with the occasional pages being flipped, I heard a crash. we dropped the books we had in our hands and ran to the sound. There was a hole in the wall. It looked like a door.
"Did you touch or pull something Atti?" Alvion asked as he peeked in the room. "No, I don't think so," I answered. "I lived here my entire life and have never seen a door here before let alone another room. I wonder what is inside. Stay here" he said as he ran to the entrance of the library and yelled. He came back with a few guards and they walked in.
"Emiko is on her way prince." the female head guard said as he bowed. "Thank you for requesting her Isami," Alvion said.
-------- Alvions POV --------
I walked back into the room to see Atti sitting at a table reading a book she must have found. "Where did you find the book. I have never seen that one here before?" I ask her while I lay my chin on the top of her head. "Well Ukie got it for me a while ago and I just started reading it. It is really good," she said before she placed the book down. She turned around and looked me in the eyes.
"You think the guards have found anything in there yet? It's really quiet?" She asked. I also seemed to notice that the library has now gone quiet. I was snapped out of my thoughts when a familiar female voice spoke.
"Prince, you requested me?"
I let go of Atti and turn around to see my advisor, Emiko. "Yes," I began to walk towards her and stopped in front of her. "Have you ever seen a secret door in the library? While me and Atti were looking for information regarding a few things, we heard a loud noise. We went to investigate we noticed a new opening in the wall of the library. Would you happen to know why there is a door there and no one has ever told me before? You have been my advisor since I was born. Are there any other secrets you are keeping from me?" I spoke in a deep demanding tone.
"Well..."
----------- Attis POV -------------
I watched as Alvion was demanding answers from his advisor when I saw a familiar redhead run into the room from the hallway. I waved him over and he gave me his big toothy smile and walked over. "Princess," he said as he bowed. "How many times do I tell you not to do that?" I laughed. "You are Alvions best friend. Even if you are a knight you seem like you are family to him." "Well, you looked like you needed a laugh, given the fact you look as stiff as a board," he replied laughing.
"We found something!"
We all looked in the direction of the shouting and seen guards running out of the library to us. I looked at Alvion and he seemed tense. He looked over to me and I got up and ran over.
"We found more rooms and another library, your highness."
