"Uncle, when I, Mero and the others entered the Yonder Realm, we spent weeks looking for Liam with no luck of finding him at all, we followed the map that Elysia gave us, and still yet, it was such a long journey to find Liam" said Wura as she began to explain.
"Until finally, in a market we found Liam, he was himself, he was fine, but…" said Wura as she paused.
"But what my dear?" asked Nigel as he was patiently waiting for Liam to explain.
"But he did not remember me uncle, he did not remember any of us" said Wura.
"Oh my, and why is that?" asked Nigel.
"Because he was enchanted Uncle, there was an enchantment in his eyes, he could not remember me no matter how hard I tried to make him remember me, and it just hurt me so much" said Wura as she felt like crying.
"Oh my dear" said Nigel as he held her hand, he could see that this was hard for her to narrate all over again.
"Uncle, I just felt so bad, it was the worst feeling in the world for your own husband not to even remember you" said Wura as she sniffed.
"It was very painful, but then I met the other people that Liam was with, which were Darla and her brothers Malcom and Dothan" said Wura.
"They were very good people to Liam, they found him unconscious when he fell into the Yonder Realm, and they took him in and helped him, and for that I will forever be grateful" said Wura as she smiled.
"I am grateful to them too my dear, grateful that Liam was in good hands while we were worrying about him" said Nigel as he smiled and he nodded.
"Yes uncle" said Wura.
"So it turned out that Liam knew he lost all his memories, and he wanted to know the truth and find them, and Darla suggested that he go to the first city, where the witch who knows all resides" said Wura as Nigel nodded while listening.
"So we decided to follow them, while still trying to make Liam remember everything" said Wura.
"Looking back now, I realized that the fear of rejection I had of telling Liam the truth was stupid, I should have just told him the truth, because now it is all my fault that he is not here with us" said Wura.
"My dear, you do not need to blame yourself, go on" said Nigel.
"I should have told him the truth straightforwardly, and not trying to subtly do it, because Liam went to the witch, her name is Elvira, and she lied to him, she told him many lies, she showed him another woman as his wife and… everything was just horrible, and I had no one but myself to blame for not telling him the truth in time" said Wura as she sniffed.
"I confronted Elvira, and she told me that everything that was happening to me and Liam was as a result of a curse" said Wura.
"Curse?" asked Nigel in confusion.
"Yes uncle, a curse, apparently, there was a woman that his Majesty Alaric courted before he met her Majesty Queen Vivian, and he fell in love with her Majesty and broke his relationship with her, which resulted in her placing a curse of bareness on him and Liam, and everything that has happened was because of that curse" said Wura as Nigel could not believe what he was hearing.
"Uncle Nigel, did you know anything about this? About the curse?" asked Wura.
"Well no my dear, this surprises me, because I never knew about any curse" said Nigel as he shook his head.
"But I did know that Alaric used to be quite the womanizer back in days of his youth, and that was part of the reason why his father pressured him to marry, and that he did" said Nigel.
"He fell in love with my sister Vivian, whom he dropped everything to woo and pursue, and I can testify that he stopped any other relationship with any other woman and he focused on Vivian" said Nigel.
"But as for that curse, I knew nothing about it, but to me it seems that the woman cursed him out of spite" said Nigel.
"I believe so, but you know women, when they are hurt, nothing matters anymore, I do not blame the woman who cursed him, I only blame that she cursed his child, Liam, because Liam and I knew nothing about this, we did not deserve this sort of unfair treatment from fate" said Wura.
"I know my dear, I know" said Nigel as he sighed, now it all made sense, the many years of bareness his sister had passed through, and when she finally gave birth she passed away, all because of a curse.
"So Uncle, after I was told all this, I was faced with a choice, either I leave Liam and return to Wyverdale, or I stay and he never remember me" said Wura.
"I believe you know which choice I made" said Wura.
"Oh my dear" said Nigel as Wura cried and he hugged her.
"I just did not know what to do, which choice to make, and Liam was unconscious, but something told me that he would want me to go back to the kingdom, and that he would be back here, he would return here" said Wura as she cried and Nigel hugged her.
"I believe so too my dear, my nephew is not a man to give up easily, no matter what, in the end, the truth with prevail" said Nigel as Wura nodded.
"I know that uncle, I know" said Wura as she stopped crying and she sniffed as she broke their hug.
"We all had to leave to Wyverdale since that was the only way we would be able to return, and well here we are" said Wura.
"So imagine my surprise to see someone who looks exactly like my husband, but definitely is not my husband since I was forced to leave him in a strange realm" said Wura.
"Now I get how you knew the truth my dear" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Yes" said Wura as she nodded.
"Oh my dear, you have been through so much that I cannot even imagine" said Nigel.
"Yes uncle, I have" said Wura as she nodded.
"Uncle, how can you be so strong? Even though I believe with all my might that Liam will return, I still face doubt" said Wura as Nigel smiled at her.
"My dear, I live by one simple rule, what will happen will happen, and what does not need to happen, will not happen" said Nigel.
"All the creators wishes for us are nothing but good and pure, and he will certainly perfect everything that we need" said Nigel.
"Oh uncle, I wish that I had the kind of faith that you had" said Wura as she smiled.
"You do my dear, you do, just look on the good things, and keep on hoping" said Nigel as he smiled and Wura nodded.
"My dear, forgive me if I come off as hasty or insensitive, but now that we are alone to talk, I want to tell you something very important" said Nigel.
"Go on uncle, it is fine, I will not see anything you say as hasty or insensitive" said Wura as she smiled.
"Thank you dear" said Nigel as he smiled.
"It has come to my attention that I need to return back to my estate that I have left for such a long while" said Nigel.
"Oh uncle, please do not tell me that you are leaving me so soon, I only returned and now you are leaving" said Wura as she hugged Nigel.
"I am sorry dear, but I have to go, I have left my estate alone for far too long, It is not that I want to leave you, but I need to return" said Nigel.
"Oh uncle, I know you have to, but you have been of so much help to me, and to the Kingdom, taking over everything and making sure that everything ran smoothly, if you leave, I will not know what to do, Liam is not here, I am all alone" said Wura.
"Oh my dear, you are not alone, and the Kingdom is rightfully yours in the absence of Liam, he would want you to take charge" said Nigel.
"But I cannot uncle, I do not know how to rule a kingdom, what if I mess up and make everyone disappointed, I do not have what it takes to be Queen, the title is different from the duty" said Wura as Nigel smiled.
"My dear, if Liam chose you to be his Queen, it meant that he had seen far, he knows that you are much more capable than you think, you are strong, and you of course can handle everything that will be thrown at you" said Nigel as Wura sighed.
"And my dear, you are not alone, not at all, you have Mero, and Zechariah and Luc are such good helpers, you have many people who are dedicated to helping you, and you alone" said Nigel.
"I know uncle, but I wish that you could stay here with me longer, and just help me, make sure that I am doing nothing wrong" said Wura.
"My dear, you will never do anything wrong, you will know what is right and what is wrong" said Nigel.
"Oh uncle, when do you plan on leaving?" asked Wura as she stopped hugging Nigel.
"Tomorrow morrow my dear, I have to leave since the summer is here and I need to return back to the farms, which reminds me that the Duke and Duchess of Cornwalk will come to the Castle to speak about the farming plans in Cornwalk" said Nigel as Wura groaned.
"Oh uncle, you have not even left yet and I cannot imagine having to keep track of everything that pertains the kingdom" said Wura.
"You will be fine my dear" said Nigel as he laughed.
"Oh I will miss you very much uncle, so much, thank you for everything you have done for me" said Wura as she smiled and she hugged Nigel.
"It was my pleasure my dear, we are family after all, and we need to help one another" said Nigel as he smiled and Wura smiled at him.
…
"So you are a sprite?" asked Elihu as he looked at Lown and he poked him as Lown looked at him, they were all outside.
"Yes I am, and please do not poke me like that" said Lown as Elihu poked him again.
"Why are you purple?" asked Elihu with another poke.
"And why are you the colour you are?" asked Lown as Elihu poked him again, he was starting to get irritated.
"Elihu stop poking him, he does not like it, and I doubt her majesty would like you treating him like that" said Nora as she looked at Elihu.
"Oh and how will she know if someone does not tell her" said Elihu.
"You will not dare tell her now will you?" asked Elihu.
"You know my loyalty is to her Majesty alone, and I will tell her everything that she needs to know" said Nora as Elihu scoffed, of course she would.
"Well go ahead" said Elihu as he was about to poke Lown again.
"Elihu, do you need a knock on the head before you realize that what Nora said is the truth, now stop that nonsense and go train the troops" said Mero as he stopped Elihu from poking Lown as Elihu looked at him.
"Fine, just like that everyone is against me again" said Elihu as he scoffed and he walked away.
"Thank you my lady, what is your name?" asked Lown as he looked at Nora and he smiled.
"Nora" replied Nora with a smile.
"Thank you lady Nora" said Lown with a smile.
"Oh my name is just Nora, and you are welcome" said Nora with a smile.
"And thank you too you too Mero" said Lown as he looked at Mero who still did not seem to like him.
"Hmm" replied Mero seriously.
"Nora can I speak with you for a moment?" asked Mero as he looked at Mero.
"Yes Sir Mero alright" said Nora as she nodded and she followed after him.
