Chereads / The Red Maple Tree / Chapter 7 - Ian Aiden Augustine

Chapter 7 - Ian Aiden Augustine

After ten minutes they arrived at the teleportation station,there are many teleportation buildings for different destinations

Evan sent a simple looking guard to buy the tickets for the central town

In the central town teleportation station,besides the ticket counter there is an entrance where a security guard is standing responsible for checking the tickets,letting people in and guarding against people with bad intentions

Only fifty people are allowed to enter at a time,they were supposed to enter when the number of people sums up to fifty which happened in no time since it was the working hour in the town

After entering Rebecca looked around

A large round room with dome shaped glass ceiling,two large circle,one for the departure and one for the arrival with weird patterns engraved on the plain wooden flooring,walls decorated with lights which are not switched on because of the daytime and another door opposite of the entry door for the exit of people

They stood inside the departure teleportation circle before the patterns glowed blue in colour

And before Rebecca knew,her body felt light and Rebecca closed her eyes tightly as the glow intensified

After some moment Rebecca felt someone patting her shoulder lightly,it must be Mia she thought certainly,as Rebecca slowly opened her eyes she saw that she was in a different teleportation station

"Where is this"Rebecca asked Evan after getting out of the station as she felt a gust of cold wind flung snow into her face

"Your highness,this is the central town"Evan answered

"Yes I know but how much more do we have to travel to arrive at the Archduke mansion"Rebecca asked Evan as she signalled Jane to help her wear the fur coat that she told Jane earlier to carry it on her because of the frigid cold in this frigid land

"It won't take much time your highness,please follow me"Evan said as he looked around and strode off to the street

What is he doing,Rebecca wondered as she followed Evan with her two maids

Evan brought them to an empty place which reminded Rebecca about how he brought them to an empty place after leaving the Azov Kingdom's castle for the teleportation,she wondered whether Evan is going to do something like that again

Evan without saying anything took out the same stone he used earlier and did the same thing on it as it started glowing red

But this time the large hole in the air didn't appeared immediately

Rebecca looked at Evan only to see that he is looking in front without saying anything as if waiting for someone or something

*****

"Master,somebody wants to teleport inside the mansion"Nathan,the left hand man of Ian,who was in the middle of reporting to the Archduke said with a frown on his face as he took out the surrounding observation stone from his pocket,which is blinking red light in colour,vibrating constantly

When somebody wants to teleport inside the mansion then the stone will vibrate and if someone wants to teleport outside of the mansion within the restriction invisible shield then the stone will ring and the light will not blink like now

Noticing the red colour light Nathan smirked as he looked at his master before saying

"Master,guess who it is"

Ian glanced at Nathan faintly as he continued looking through the documents

Nathan was a bit disappointed with his master's reaction

He pouted and said,"it's Evan,he must have arrived at the central town with your future wife"

Not many people has the teleportation stone in their mansion,only five,from them only Evan has the fire element

After hearing this,Ian finally had some reaction as he swiftly rose from the chair before saying faintly to Nathan,"come with me"

Nathan was a bit confused but he still obliged his master's order

After saying that Ian strode out of the room as he walked out of the mansion,standing at the entrance of the mansion

He notified the servants on his way,therefore all the high level servants are standing respectfully at the entrance to welcome their future lady

Ian glanced at Nathan

"Yes,I understand my lord"Nathan who understood the meaning behind his master's eyes said as he took out the communication stone from his pocket and informing the people,responsible for the restriction invisible shield in the mansion to remove the restriction for a minute

After some moment a large hole appeared in the air as Evan,Rebecca and her two little maids as well as all the remaining servant walked inside from it

As soon as the servants saw them they greeted respectfully as they bowed their head,"Welcome to the Archduke's Mansion,your royal highness"

Rebecca was startled,she looked up in the servants direction but instead of the servants a handsome elegant man caught her attention

Her heart skipped a beat before her heart started racing crazily,her cheeks burning

The sound of her heart beating was so loud that she felt like everyone present could hear it

This feeling caught her off guard,she was feeling flustered as her eyes darted around,she first thought that she caught a disease but once again her instinct told her that it isn't and this feeling got something to do with the distinguished and unfathomable man standing in front of her

She does not know what to do as this is the first time she felt something like this

Helplessly she looked down,staring down at her feet,her hands fidgeting

But her mind kept replaying those mesmerising dark black eyes and that chiseled handsome face

Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion,she does not understand why this is happening to her,she was feeling at a loss

Rebecca thought as she peeked at Ian secretly

'Who is he'

Whilst Ian's eyes flashed slightly before quickly going back to usual unwavering eyes

His heart is currently beating erratically but the expression on his face remained unfaltering

He remembered his cordial mother's words

-"Ian,when you meet your soulmate your heart will let you know,some people fall in love slowly while some people fall in love at first sight,there are many different situations for two person to fall in love together,sometimes it happens in days after days and sometimes it happens in just a day"

He remembered that when his mother's said that her face was full of happiness and shyness

-"And another thing Ian when you meet the love of your life,you must love and cherish her forever"

-"Love is precious my son yet complicated but in your case your parents will never force you in this matter and will take care of anything complicated that will affect your relationship with your partner so you don't need to worry about the complicated part,all you need to do is maintain the relationship with your life partner and trust and respect her"

Snapping out of his trance,Ian looked at Rebecca's blushing face and her little actions

He felt that she was so cute that he couldn't help but chuckle secretly

He badly wanted to talk to her and get to know her but he thought that she must be tired from travelling such a long distance so he should at least let her freshen up before borrowing her time

As he noticed that Rebecca was feeling flustered in front of him,he thought that it would be better to give her some time to calm down before introducing himself afterwards so he immediately

ordered some selected maids to lead Rebecca to her room

Even though he was considering so much his face did not change one bit

Rebecca glanced at Ian before following the maids

She looked around,earlier she couldn't look around because the Archduke snatched all of her attention

She noticed that this mansion looks very tall,majestic and exquisite

She walked down the long corridor before arriving at the door of her room,as the door opened she was a little surprised after looking at the room,she kind of became numb after experiencing too many surprises during the past few days and she kind of already guessed the layout so she does not feel much apart from being a little surprised

She looked around the room which is at least four times larger than the cabin in the ship,the room has large beautiful white furniture;a queen sized bed,a beautiful enormous wardrobe,a large dressing table,in front of the fireplace two comfortable big couches with a coffee table placed between them,a round table with two chairs placed near the wide window and a large bookshelf near the fireplace filled with books

One door inside the room leading to the bathroom

The room has attractive floor made with some unknown white stone and smooth walls with white colour painted on it and many lights scattered around the room,she doesn't understand anything but she weirdly she never felt out of space,ever since she stepped into the Magic Empire everything seems too surreal to her as if she is living inside a dream,if it's truly a dream then she hopes that this dream would never end

While soaking up inside the bathtub,Rebecca looked around,she found that everything in the bathroom is same apart from it being a lot larger compare to the previous one;the bathtub is as large as a little pond and the mirrors and basin are also a lot larger than the earlier ones

All of a sudden the conversation she had with Jane earlier came into her mind

While entering the mansion,following the maids to go to her room

"Jane,who is that gentleman",Rebecca asked with a curious expression as she glanced back at Ian

Jane said with a shocked expression,"you don't know,I thought you already knew,your highness

He is his royal highness Ian Aiden Augustine,your future husband"
