Chapter 10 - Chapter ten: the beautiful garden

Heaven's pov:

I sat down on the beautiful white swing in the garden. This garden looks like paradise. "Beautiful isn't it?" I heard someone said behind me, l shook my head, " magical" l corrected without looking back. The man chuckled , that was when l looked back. It was prince Xavier, l stood up and courtisized. "Enjoying you stay here?" He said. "Yes, thank you for asking", he didn't have any sign of lust in his eyes while looking at me, seems he has found his mate and loves her deeply, that's good. "This garden is so beautiful, that it sight can take one's sorrow away for a while. I just came here to have clear head, l hope you don't mind" l said. "And why would l?, You are free to come here as long as you don't have anything to do" he said. I smiled in appreciation. Thete is something weird about the garden though, it is full of spirit energy. I thought demons and spirits are enemies, how can a spirit's garden be here. Let me ask him. "Your highness, can l please ask you a question?". " Go ahead" he said. "this garden , how come it's full of spirit energy", l hope l didn't cross the line by asking this. But instead he smiled, he really loves my guts. "You are quite observant. What's your full name? " , " Heaven Alizah Dianne Spencer " l said. " Your name is long" he said, l shrugged my shoulders. " To answer your question. Yes, this garden was made by a spirit. It was a gift from one of the former queens of a particular spirit kingdom called Octins" he said. Wait, Dekrish and Octins used to be friends?. "You mean to say that , there was a time when Dekrish and Octins were friends?" I said. " Not just Dekrish and Octins, but the entire demon and spirit realms" he said. I was beyond shocked, "Then what happened?, Why did they suddenly became enemies?". "No one knows what actually happened. Back then, the spirits suddenly began to attack demons, without any reason. Dekrish and Octins maintained their good friendship for a long time. Until one day, when the former king of Dekrish, the current king's grandfather, king Zachary and his son, went there to spend their vacation. Everything was going smoothly, then all of a sudden the spirits began to attack, luckily they took a few guards with them and managed to escape. And ever since then Dekrish and Octins became enemies." He explained. I sighed , there is definitely some misunderstanding going on here. "Uh huh" Flora agreed. "This garden was a gift to king Zachary. And it held a special place in his heart , so he ordered that the garden should be well kept and nothing should happen to it" he said. I see, that's why it's still here. If a garden made by a spirit could be this beautiful, l wonder how beautiful the spirit realm could be. " Have you ever thought that maybe there is more to this war than it meets the eyes" l said. He looked at me with unfathomable expression. "Honestly, l do. But what could be done . Ending a thousand year of grugde is an impossible task." He said. "Xavier" a woman called as she approached us. He turned and smiled widely, "my love", he stretched his hand for her to hold and she did. "Who is she?" She asked. "Her name is Heaven, she is the king's personal handmade" , l'm l? The king never told me that. Come to think of it, we haven't talked at all today. " Heaven, this my mate, the love of my life, Stephenie" he said. "Nice to meet you , your highness" l bowed slightly . "Nice to meet you too Heaven. You have a beautiful name" she said smilingly. "thank you , your highness. Well, l'll leave the two of you alone now, l have things to attend to" l said , "see you around" they said. I nodded my head and with that l left the garden.

I thought of going to look for Nora, she is the only one familiar to me in here. Then l saw Anna running toward my direction. "Hey here you are" she said, she seems to be panicking. "What's wrong" l asked her . "Nora is in trouble. She accidentally broke Lady Samantha's flower pot. And lady Samantha never forgives" she said. "So where are you going now?" I asked. "l'm going to look for her mate, he is the captain of the silver knights. Maybe he will be able to help her" she said and ran . Well this is a fine mess, offending a bitch. I tracked Nora's scent and got to the scene. It was in the king's room. Nora was kneeling on the ground pleading for mercy.
