Chapter 5 - Whispers

After living her fathers study room, silvia went to her room to eat her breakfast. since she is not allowed to eat in the family table, her food was delivered to her room. 'hmph', she scoffed at her pathetic life. Now thinking back about it, her life was no where near to how a crown princess should live. yes you heard it right. before king regaleon's first wife disappeared or died as they called it, she left her five year old daughter. since Silvia was the first daughter of the king, it was inevitable that she is the crown princess of Kelvenia. Or at least 'was' until 5 minutes ago. It was no surprise that her deceitful father's aim was this all along. His second daughter. Vellia, was such a brilliant and beautiful daughter. It wouldn't be his fault to give the crown to his second daughter. after all she was trained 'not to be perfect'. she was imprisoned, beaten and scolded. how can she have the courage to stand up with all those flaws she has. It would be easy for her to be the crown princess with out a struggle because the kingdom rule states,"first born,first crowned" so her father couldn't directly pull her off the crown sit. so he used underhanded method. He bated her by using her innermost desire. even the hesitation he showed when she asked for her mother's belonging wasn't genuine. just an act to make it real as you use spices to make food more delicious. she have seen it through. all of it. yet.... she decided' it was for the best. after all...'a sudden mischievous idea appeared on her mind.

"I hadn't given verbal confirmation as to giving my crown away...."

after eating hefty portion of her food Silvia retired early wishing for a wonderful dream on her last night of her stay in Kelvenia...

It was midnight now.....the blissful moon was gently glowing in the dark. The breath of cold air was slowly moving the curtains as the window was half opened. From the top of the castle standing by Silvia's window the city of Kelvenia can be seen like a sea of little lights in deep, dark ocean. Kelvenia might be away from the human world, but it didn't lack any technologies because of the supply ship coming in through the western port. though the king calls the humans are fool, he actually import technological devices in to the country and Silvia sometimes think about it. 'what a hypocrite' she would say. but with magic and technology combined to bring up prosperity to a country, who would refuse such an existence like technology. And as well, her father wishing for more power, it won't be a lie to say he would sell his daughters to gain more power. But peaceful city was more hard to achieve than a prosperous one. And right now Kelvenia looks so peaceful. The sky was clear. the owls were hooting from afar.some people are in their dream land while others are working in a late night shift. The main roads are quiet with some vehicles passing by occasionally. Sleeping in her comfortable bed, Silvia slept rather peacefully, until...she started to hear it again. that sound. that felt like a whisper in the ear.

"ssssi-" it kept on mumbling with an unfinished words. "Hm..." but then Silvia groaned, disturbed by the sound.

"sssselina...." she head it again and out of frustration she put the pillow on her ear but the sound doesn't seem to stop as if it comes from inside.However Silvia wasn't going to give up either."stop..."she said in a whisper but it was futile.

"selina di ay no sventl'eiiii...." the whisper, dragging its voice at the end began to come close which startled Silvia so much that she jumped up from the bed. she looked around and as always there was no one on sight. The voice seems to come out of thin air near her ear and that scared her more. These episodes happen to her every night. to be specific at midnight. when the clock hit mid night the room starts to dim in colour, the wind outside starts to blow in to the room,fast and the whispers start.

"ssssselinaaaa...."
