Chapter 8 - the secret

" You spent so long outside that I thought something happened to you " Anelle said walking towards Cellus . " What can happen to me ? just some little nuisance on my trip " he replied .

" Is that blood on your clothe, were you injured by her , she is really something " she said smiling.

" How did you..... were you following me around ? he asked . " Is that something you should even be asking me ? you also know that I am not the type of person that stays at home obediently because I was told to " she stopped then continued

" I followed you to where you stole the flower, she must be really powerful to be able to give you an injury within fifteen minutes of your fight " she said

" What skills, she is just like a moth flying into fire even after knowing that she will die , and she will really die because no one can survive that poison " he told her .

" What ?! you poisoned her , why would you do that, she wasn't even trying to hurt you " she shouted.

" If you're going to lecture me then leave , I want to be alone " he said closing his eyes . " You are unbelievable " Anelle said leaving .

" Liz , what are you going to do if the killing keeps happening and the princess is not even around " Xyde asked the queen.

" First go and search for Naomi , she can't keep running now she replied I would ask them to continue their investigation " she replied " I will go now " he said and left.

Noami woke up and found everywhere quiet " something is strange " she said "what is it" Xyde asked " Ahh you startled me , what are you doing here ? she asked.

" Is that something should be asking, we are going home now , I came as soon as I discovered that you were missing " Xyde said .

" So you just discovered I was missing , after I was starting to forget about you , unbelievable " she said sitting .

" Are you angry right now ? we can't stay here anymore , the killing is more rapid than before and staying outside put you at risk " he tried to persuade her

" More reason why I shouldn't go , what if I get killed there , this place is different from Derius , there is no murder here in fact it is very peaceful and safe . If I return I'll just be stuck all day doing nothing " . she replied.

" Any excuse you want to give , follow me and tell your mother yourself ok" he said

" But the people here will be suspicious , how will I explain to them" she asked . " You don't need to worry about that since you might not even come back here again " he replied.

" You... even if I don't come back here, in the future if I become ruler someone might recognise me and know that I've been here before" she said.

" Enough of your excuse we must leave now " he said , " you are really something" Naomi decided , that she must use any method she can to stay even if it meant hypnotizing him.

" what are you..."he was saying, before she looked into his eyes and hypnotised him . She pulled him to the store which had been closed for some while , and tied him to a wood ." what are you doing" she heard a voice .

" I caught a thief and decided to keep I'm here until sunrise "she lied. " ok sleep early and prepare for the test tomorrow we must all do our best " Kali said and walked away .

"The test was too tough , I couldn't answer most of it "Lucius complained as he walked with Kali. " They said we can leave the house now , but only for three days " Kali said .

" Even if it was for two hours, I would be happy" he stopped then continued " by the way, apart from Callum I have not seen the rest of our group , what is with them ? " he asked .

" I saw Achlys leaving but I don't know where Naomi is " she answered . " They make it look like we are the jobless one's" he complained .

" You are the only one that sees it that way , maybe they are not used to teamwork " she said . " That's what you always say every time, it isn't as if we have been working in..." Lucius continued to talk when Kali saw Naomi walking towards the shed , she kept looking back to check if she was followed.

" Wait a second " she said to Lucius and went to follow her . " Even you are making me feel idle" Lucius sighed .

Kali followed her to the shed and saw Naomi looking around for something before someone came out . It was him , the person Naomi claimed was a thief .

" Princess, the exam is over are you ready to go home now or you want to keep delaying " he said . ' Princess, Naomi was a princess , she always felt something wasn't right about her and achlys and turns out she was right.

" Since I took the test, I will follow you to Derius , but only to plead with my mother to allow me to come back here " Naomi said.

Kali couldn't believe what she was hearing . Naomi is the crown princess of Derius and the next queen . Then why had she been here all this time hiding her identity .
