Euphorial stare back at the carefree man who acted as if she was not visible.She stared at the purple eyes of the man that reminded her of her mother's and she steeled her heart because she doesn't want to look sad in front of the stranger.
"I'm sure you have not met Ephraim's adorable mate.She is his mate,the one that he will be getting married to soon" Queen Sylvia introduced her to the stranger.
"I am Roith,the witch prince and the only friend of your soon to be husband" Roith introduced himself as he extended his hand for her lay her hand so he could kiss.
Euphorial smiled awkwardly before stretching her right hand out showing him Ephraim's ring indirectly telling him that he sould stay on the right lane and not provoke his friend.Roith took her right hand and he kissed it before dropping it.
Euphorial stared deeply into his purple eyes after he greeted her properly.She could not actually pinpoint the feelings that washed over her when his lips touched her fingers but one thing was sure,she felt familiarity in his touch.Something deep in her felt connected to him and it wasn't the kind of connection she felt when Ephraim hugged her,this was different.It felt warm as if she could trust him like a brother.
She was called out of her thoughts when she heard his faint remark "it is nice knowing you before the wedding".
"Same here also prince Roith" she replied before sitting with the princesses since they had sat on the sofa during their introduction.
Roith also sat down on the sofa he was before and he continue with what he was doing before.
He had purposefully call her out of her thoughts because he knew she could feel the same thing he felt when he touched her hand,the family connection among witches.
In the magical realm,witches doesn't have the paternity of a child tested through a spell like some human nobles and vampires does.They know which family a child belongs to through the family connection.The magic of a witch will always react when it comes in contact with one of its family members and the same thing just happened between Euphorial and him,which he was sure that she does not have the knowledge of.
"You are here earlier than expected even when my son didn't invite you" Queen Sylvia said to break the silence.
"I don't need to be invited before i come mother Sylvia.I know everything about my friend even though he prevents me from seeing what happens in his house" Roith said as he stared into the magical crystal he had brought out from his dimensional space he smirked internally when he saw the chaos his visit was causing to Ephraim in the black market.
"Brother Roith,can you please perform the spell that will make the thing you are looking at in the magical crystal visible to us?" Geyra asked as she acted cutely while Grace showed a curious expression because she had been curious of what the prince was looking at in the magical crystal.
Roith looked at the twins before looking at Euphorial because he thought she will be able to see the visions shown in the magic crystal because of her witch side and magical powers.He decided to test that out later as he perform the spell to make them see what was being shown in the magical crystal,specifically the black market.
In Ephraim's office in the black market,chaos was taking over in full force as a result of the prince being angry.
"Who is responsible for giving me informations of what is happening in my house?" Ephraim asked his subordinates in irritation.
"Your highness,the witch responsible has started working on it" Damon responded.
Ephraim has been on edge these days because of his unsatisfied thirst and hunger and adding to the problem was his dark side that had been urging him to go back home because he wants to see his Euphy.He missed the feeling of her in his arms,the touch of her blonde hair and her captivating eyes.All those things are intensifying his dark emotions like anger,thirst and lust.He have to know what is happening at home so that he could stay calm a little.
"Witch Rachel reporting your highness" the witch that works for him said as she came in.
"What took you so long?" Ephraim asked her coldly.
"It was the spell you gave me to use so that i could have a peak at your house took a lot of time to activate" Rachel explained calmly because she had been used to his coldness and anger.She quickly proceeded informing him of the witch prince arrival at his mansion.
"Bring the crystal,make me see what is going on" He commanded her and she performed the spell that will make vampires see what is shown in the magic crystal.
The magic crystal showed where Roith kissed Euphy's hand and Ephraim broke the crystal into pieces with his sheer strength.He started fuming in jealousy.
The witch and the rest of his subordinates immediately left the room when they saw that he is angry leaving only his aide with him.
"We are going back home tonight.Round up every work and mission now!!!" Ephraim commanded Damon who immediately disappeared to do as ordered because he doesn't want to be punished.
Back at Ephraim's mansion,the girls and the queen looked at the black market in awe while Roith just smiled at their ignorance.He had blocked the part that shows Ephraim's jealousy,they are just looking at his office and the transactions that takes place there and out of it.
