"Yes princess Serena "
they all chorused, the children sitting in a circle around Serena while she sat in the middle

Serena was indeed a beauty, she had curves in all the right places, her hair hanging up where it was carefully bounded in a doughnut shape, her lips full and red, one could say she was beautifully made, being the third daughter of the king also the fourth child of the King she sat with grace and respect, with clothes not as expensive as her other sisters and brothers she made the clothes worth more when she wore them, she was a princess who lived far away from the palace because she was a witch with no magic, it just never worked when she cast any of them though she knew most of them by heart, also being the daughter of a late mistress of the king did not help either, making her a joke among her clans.


"Princess Serena my mommy told me monster lives beyond the walls",

Five-year-old Luis says as he climbs onto Serena's lap which she did not hesitate to pick up

"Yes dear your mommy is right, it is dangerous at the other side"

"Do they eat children?"
Another child not less than three years old asked, hanging on to Serena's every word


"That is if you stay within the walls "
A male voice replies from behind, they all turned to see princess Maria and prince Kal walk towards them two servents in tow, on getting to where Serena sat At the tree side beside the river bank with the children

"My Prince "

Serena courtesy to him on his arrival, Kal was the first prince also the second child of the King,

Kal replies with a smile, he was just like their father but the only one who was a little nicer to her in the family

"Princess Maria to what do I owe this honor "

"I came to laugh at your face of course"

"Laugh about what ?"
Serena asks looking puzzled

"have you not heard the news yet?"
Prince Kal says in a sad voice trying to avoid eye contact Serena's

"What news?"

The look on Maria's face unlike Kal face showed mockery

"Tsk tsk tsk, poor Serena, a witch without magic, just like beauty without the brain, I guess now you can finally be useful for everyone instead of telling the human children tales all day while your fellow witches train all day long to protect wizel town"

"Maria that's enough", Kal said

"But brother "
Maria wanted to protest more

"Princess Maria take the children away while I speak with Princess Serena"

Karl says not giving Maria room to protest as she grumbled off with the children in tow, after a while with Maria out of ears Kal decided to break the silence


"My apologies Princess Serena for what my sister said just now, I mean princess Maria"

The little slip of Kal words stung Serena a little, so he never really saw her as a true blood sister, no one saw her as family and that's why instead of living in the palace she lived in a house at the outskirt of the town, even her fellow clan members and she knew the reason why, she looked exactly like the witch who created wizel town, she looked exactly like her, the resemblance too shocking this giving them hope until they discovered she was just like an empty shell, she looked like a legend but was useless

"Should we go in, let me offer you some tea my prince"

"No need for that Princess Serena, but why don't you seat down first

"If you do not seat my prince then neither do I",
"If you say so then I too will seat"

Giving in to Serena Karl took a seat at the same spot Serena did earlier which made Serena sit across from him
After some awkward silence, Kal spoke again

"Princess Serena have you been to the town lately"

"No my prince, I have not been in town for three weeks now"
Serena became more curious but waited for Kal to speak when ready

"No wonder you have not heard the news yet"

"What news ?"


"Father is sending you over the wall as a peacekeeper "
Karl says in a bare whisper

"WHAT!!!!, the king is, why, how, I do not get it, my prince, they are monsters, I could be killed, I have no magic "

The panic clearly in Serena's voice

"Do not worry Serena father made them promise not to hurt you, they will also send a peacekeeper here, so it is a bit safer"

"If it is, why don't Maria, Bella, or anyone of you lot do it instead, you are sending me to the battleground with no weapon...to die"

Serena whispered the last words with hurt

"Stop being over-emotional Serena, you will be given two maids and a guard to protect you "

"I do not care if you give me a hundred, I will not be sent to fight a lost war"

"I am sorry princess Serena but father already made his decision, either you go or your maternal grandmother treatment will be stopped and he has also sent guards to watch over your nephew at the training ground to ensure you go tomorrow "

"So it's either I die or grandmother and Lily does"

Sign of defeat in her voice this not a question but a statement

"When will I be leaving "

The day after tomorrow, father says you do not need to see him before you go but you will be escorted to the walls by our best warriors

To do what? probably to celebrate my departure, my death
Serena says in her mind, but her face becoming expressionless once more

"Excuse me, my prince",

And with that Serena headed home leaving Kal behind ,unable to see the silent tears that rolled down her face
