Chapter 57 - The keeper

~~ZAMIEL'S POV~~

" What? " Carlene said and quickly made her way toward Carmela's room

' This wife of yours is surely a handful ' I could hear my conscience say with a bit of excitement visible in its voice but just ignored

...

I lazily made my way to Carmela's room to find it in a state of chaos .. Carmela on the other hand was sitting at the dressing table not giving a care while applying another layer of lipstick

" Hello hubby " she turned to face me with a smile

' No doubt, something is surely wrong with her ' I said to myself and sighed

" How about we go for a walk at the waterfall " she said grinning from ear to ear and something about her seemed off especially her eye

s

" As you wish, " I said and made my way toward the door

" Her majesty.. wh..what about lady Aaliyah,?" a maid asked bowing

" Oh you mean Blue she can remain at the center of the fire until I return " she smirk and pulled me towards the exit.

A few hours ago Carmela pass out and now she seems all energized not only that I can perceive her old scent strongly coming from her

Are you really going toeave me after all this?

" Hubby, can you ask my mum to lend me her pet for a while? "

" Why? I thought you never liked snakes "

" Well I don't but I need it l " I could hear her murmur

"What did you say? " I asked pretending not to hear her from earlier

"I just want to give it a try ..you know there's always a chance to try out new things," she said with a smile that could make anyone fall for her

" Alright as my lady wishes "

" Also one more thing " She came to stand before me making eye contact

" I'm all ears "

" I want a new room..not just any room.. "

" Do you want my room? " I raised an eyebrow

" Nooo, it's just too dark and cold,you know how much I hate dark and cold places and I've asked you to always open up your windows but you never listen " She complained pouting

Dark? Cold?

Every since I brought Carmela to the Castle I'm sure she has never stepped her feet into my private room..so how was she able to give a good description of it?

" So which room do you want ? " I asked pretending to be dumb about all she was saying as it was very visible that her memories we're coming back with speed and she's unable to control herself

" I want the one at the southern part of the palace..the place everyone is forbidden from "

" You just said it yourself that everyone is forbidden from that part of the castle so why do you still… "

" I want it, I want it, I want it ! " She screamed stumping her feets on the floor like a spoilt rich kid

" Alright I'll do as you say legs go one "

I held her and pulled her towards the water fall

If this continues like this then I'll be becoming a husband baby sitter very soon

~~ AUTHORS POV ~~

Pain, fear, ambition, vengeance, anger, and hope could be felt in the air of country D.

power is one thing that could change one's life negatively as well as positively but still, we all want it

On one side of the kingdom, plots were being made on how to acquire the ring of power

while at another plans were being made to stop the foreseen destruction.

Zamiel who was still wondering what Carmela was up to kept following her around the waterfall in hopes of getting a clue from her moves,

He couldn't help but feel relieved hearing about the arrival of the witch princess as he wouldn't have to wait any longer to break the spell placed on Carmela

unknowns to him that bigger news awaited him

" Hubby I am done, " Carmela said making her way towards him

" Alright..so why did you choose to come here of all places? " He asked feeling suspicious of her sudden behavior

" Ahem.. actually I wanted to come camping so I decided to check out this site "

" Then why close to the waterfall "

" I just feel at peace over here " she tried covering up hoping Zamiel would stop throwing questions at her.

Zamiel on the other hand decided to play calm and lead the way back to the castle as it was already late and he could sense danger in the air

~~ ZAMIEL'S POV ~~

One thing is for sure and that's something is up with Carmela as much as I want to interfere I also want to see what mischief she's up to but I'll first have to meet with the Witch princess

" Lady Hazel " I greeted stepping into her room

" Good evening king Leviathan " she stood up and did a curtsy

" Eell let's cut all formalities, you know why I am here "

" As much as I will love to help his Highness solve his challenge the more I fear to break the news to you that it's not possible to solve this problem "

" Why? Why can't it be broken even the siren queen agreed to help so why back out now?

Look I know you might be worried about the safety of your grandchildren but ... " I tried reassuring her but she interrupted me

" king Leviathan I am not scared of the safety of my grandchildren because I know they are safe with you here but there is one thing we shouldn't temper with" She said and my curiosity began surfacing

" Which is? " I asked and she quickly brought out a scroll, not just any scroll as it has the four-element seal

Which is strange

As I don't remember placing any seal on anything and such a seal can only be made by the rulers of each element

" This is the prophecy " she said excitement lingering in her voice

" Of ? "

" The keeper of the ring of destruction "
