Medea wore her favorite red dress. There will be a party that will be held within this week. And she was given a dress by a guy that she adores. It was from Nathan.
" sweetie, you're so beautiful wearing that dress," her mother came. She smiled at her and let her mother showed her the every part of it.
" Nathan really do have a taste when it comes to you. Your father also votes him for you. He comes from a good family, there will be no lost for you at all." She chuckled.
That man is a good issue. Nathan's family had helped building their empire recent years ago. Without their loyalty to their family, they might be no longer in control to the entire nation.
" can you invite him for dinner mom?"
Meanwhile, Nathan audited their business mathematical issue. He was in his private library instant his own office. He heard a knock from his door and it opened. It was his brother, Kaero. "What brought you here to my office?"
His brother gave him the envelope. " it was from the Queen." He putted his feather pen in his ink and seriously looked at it.
" what they want?"
Kaero just gave him a shrugged before he left him alone confused of what could be the inside of the letter.
His mother must be the one the caused of it. He had no interest toward the royalties. He only knows handling his business. Other than that, he has no guts in other issues.
He opened the letter and laughed bitterly reading the statement of the king. It was not request. It is an edict. A royal order.
GALE HAD REACHED THE country of new ages. It is the country of allied forces between different bloodlines. He sighed. And he was sad looking the route that he was from. Henea would be lonely sad because of his sudden disappearance. He betrayed her.
" Gale Mclins." He turned his back and saw a man with an exact age with him. If he is not mistaken, this is the heir of the family. Nathan Delluha.
" uncle recommended you to us. Please," Nathan lead him to a garden area. But they passed it and went to the training area of archer. There were bows and arrows present in the table.
" This is the training ground of Delluha family. We produced a fully equipped and prepared soldier for the battlefield. We supplement the kingdom with our strength," Gale heard his lord that the family he will be sent is not just an ordinary family in this kingdom. Delluha was known for its brutal training but a strong willed oath.
"Are you telling me to---" so, the reason he's here is not just for school to an elite school. This is also his training ground and practicum. He is now physically challenge.
" before I'm going to accept you in our manor, You need to prove yourself. Sounds desgrading but I want to see how you show your skill."
" Are you the one who will be teaching me?" Nathan smirked at him. " Dream on. I don't fight nor care beginners. After you have gather strength to fight against me, you can call a duel."
Nathan Delluha doesn't trust easily. In order to gain his trust, he did some evaluation in different aspect that he wanted to ensure to last. He doesn't care of sophisticated skills, he wants to see how determine that person to improve within the boundaries that he's been making with.
HENEA JUST WOKE UP. BUT she cried when she saw Gale leaving her door. She knew everything. She never told Gale about her lying detection ability. These past few days, she could read his goodbyes between his lies. And she gained no control in his departure. It was his decision. She doesn't want him to be caged in her daily life here. HE MUST SEE THE WORLD BEYOND HER WORLD.
" you betrayed me. You are the first one who see the world." She hugged the book and cried.
Her friend had left her. She's alone again in this dead cell. There were no changed at all. She just returned to her ordinary lonely life.
But A LOUD SPARRING SOUND BARGED IN HER silent area. Her eyes widened, when she heard it and it was too close to her. " what is happening?"
She asked her own. She saw a lit of fire closed to her cage. It was from the forest. And the fight was also there.
MEDEA WOKE UP AGAIN from a bad dream. No! Not again. Not that dream. She quickly went to her mother's room. The King was not in the Kingdom. He was staying in the court for discussing the current crisis in their kingdom.
The guard opened the door when he saw her. " mom! Mom!" Her mother who was drinking alone with wine got worried with her sudden tension. " what happened?"
" I want her out!" She's furious. She doesn't want to let her twin breathe again. Her twin needs to be out of the picture. She'll just ruin her life.
" who?"
" Mom! Don't be absent! I want Henea out of my life. I want her dead!" Her mom gave her a slap because of shock.
" How could you say that?! She is your sibling!"
Medea bitterly laughed from what she heard . " my sibling? Are you serious mom?"
Hindi makatingin sa kanya ang reyna, napaiwas ito ng tingin." When did she become my sibling?"
