Chapter 8 - ~A Chat with Ace~

After Evelyn explained the plan. She started dragging me(Ace) into a small bedroom.

"What do you want, Evelyn? Stop dragging me!" Ace exclaimed

"Chill Ollo, you as hot-headed as ever!" Evelyn said

"I knew it, Celine! And let me guess Theodore is Jonathan," Ace said

"Theodore is actually my brother. Jonathan is still at the palace doing work." Celine responded

We started talking and talking about things back at the kingdom of flame, also known as the place I was born and raised.

"Oh, so how's the kingdom?" Ace asked

"Boring and strict," Celine answered

"Okay so, back to business what do you want, and why are you here?" Ace asked

"Well, I'm here for research proposes and something to do with the king of this low-life town. Why are you traveling? Aren't you supposed to be in the kingdom of flame?" Celine said

"Well I left that kingdom a month ago and now I'm traveling with my friends...why are you laughing," Ace said looking at Celine laughing

"Well, it's funny, that a shy little timid boy actually knows how to make friends. I remember when we were little, playing around on the front lawn. You were so scared to even step foot out of the castle walls, but your sister's the exact opposite. She loved to adventure and explore all around the kingdom, and her dream was to travel all over the world. And the reason I'm laughing is that you are the one accomplishing her childhood dream," Celine said

"When you put it like that I do feel bad, but I have a question. What did you mean by "childhood dream", is that not her dream now?" Ace asked

"Oh…uh look at the time, we gotta go rest now. Tomorrow, we're going to the palace! Good night," Celine said in a hurry

I looked at Celine leave the room, wondering what secrets she was keeping from me and what was happening back home.

When I(Celine) left the room, I saw Lydia waiting outside the door.

"So, Celine was it?" Lydia asked

"So you're an eavesdropper? Huh, Lydia. Or is Lydia even your real name?" Celine(Evelyn) responded

"Since you told me your name, I tell you mine. IF you tell what you want with Ace," Lydia said

"Well, Ace was one of my childhood friends in the Kingdom of Flame, and I only wanted to see and talk to him. That's everything," Celine(Evelyn) said

"Alright, fair enough. Anyway, my name's Akari Moonlight," Akari said

When I heard that last name my eyes widened. There was a family called the Moonlight family, the people in that family were very powerful sorcerers, consisting of The great Caspian and The Healer of Sunshine. But they all mysteriously vanished one night, until Caspian and his wife's bodies were found in the city of witchcraft.

"Umm... Akari, are you related to the great Caspian?" Celine(Evelyn) asked

"Yeah, Caspian was my father," Akari responded

"Really?! I thought the Moonlight family only had a son. No daughter," Celine(Evelyn) said

"What do you mean, a son and no daughter? I never knew that my parents had another child." Akari questioned

"Well, if my research is true then the Moonlights did have a son." Celine(Evelyn) answered

"Wait, research. Why are you doing research on my family?" Akari asked

"Oh, I've done lots of research on many families, but the Moonlight family always piqued my interest! There are so many mysteries and secrets about them! Like how the Healer of Sunshine uses a different and way better technique to heal people. IT'S JUST SO COOL! You are so lucky, you're in the Moonlight family!" Celine(Evelyn) exclaimed

"I hate to ruin your happiness, but I'm trying to sleep. And you said that we're going to the palace tomorrow." Theodore said grumpily

"Okay, okay we're going," Celine(Evelyn) said
