After crossing the palace gates I felt a little uneasy , what if he couldn't handle Emmy or he decided to kill her or he hands her over to a maid who decided to kidnap her . I shook my head and breath in some air , he couldn't do that to his own flesh and blood right and it would be a waste of time if he kills her after he forced me into marriage for the sake of having heirs.
" Your magesty are you alright" asked Ila as she looked at me with her blue eyes.
"Yes I am alright "I responded even though I was lying
" You don't need to be shy as I know what you are worried about " said cadence with a smile on her lips" you are worried about princess Emerald right?"
I looked at both of them and then sighed" yes I am she just a baby and a fairy after the war my people have been percecuted and I am afraid that she will face that too" I poured out my worries to them. Normally I was very reserved as a person and pouring out my worries to them was something that I never knew I could .
Suddenly they both bowed to the floor and I looked at them shocked " what are guys doing rise up" I said trying to make them stand
" We wanted to thank you your magesty " Ila started" if not for you our grand mother would have died back then" she said as tears started pouring down from her eyes
" Huh" I asked bewildered to her claims as I was getting very confused "okay stand up you two and explain yourselves aren't you both humans "
Then they looked up at me and then stood up and then with one swift movement ila conjured water and candace conjured plant magic and my eyes grew wide with shock " how is that posible your eyes do not represent the element you conjure"
" Yes that's right " Candace responded as she took her sit and Ila followed" as we fled the humans who where invading the kingdom our grand mother got trapped as she tried to flee and you came to help her and saved her even though you where in danger so after her death we heard of your marriage to the emperor we decieded to go to the palace to serve you "
After this revelation we sat quietly and then I asked " how are our people doing "
They both looked at me with sad eyes" most children had been rendered homeless and are on the streets and most adult fairies who survived had either become made a or labourers in the fields " Ila responded
" Candace ,Ila what where your occupation while being in the fairy kingdom " I asked
" Your magesty I was an inventor " Ila said with her face looking at me with a proud face
" And I was a baker and I owned a little bakery in our hometown "
"Good we would use your talents for good purpose , untill Sally returns no one is to know your identities is that understood " I asked with an authoritative vioce . If I wanted to survive the palace one thing I knew was to have money and connections and with their help I would garther enough money to not only leave this place with my family and friends but to leave a peaceful life together" can you both find me a trust worthy person who can manage a business perfectly and can you both bring me something that you made , like something that no one has ever tasted it before " I added
They both looked at each other and then smiled and then looked at me and nodded their head" we would do just that your magesty" they responded
" You can call me Dehlia when we are alone " I told them as the carriage halted at the library they looked at me with suprise but still nodded. My thoughts then went to emerald and how she was coping with this separation from me as this was the first time we were apart and it made me anxious but I decided to listen to Victoria's advice and have a break and today will be the day I will not only go to the library I will go shopping and have some alone time to think of my future actions
Back at the palace in the emperor's office he can be seen with a screaming emerald who has turned red due to over crying and screaming
Ares and Joseph tried carrying her, giving her milk and giving her toys but to no avail . As someone who hated noise, her cries where only getting him angrier and finally he snapped
" Emerald Margaret Logan would you shut your mouth " I screamed at her and her tears immediately stopped and she looked up at me in fear . She scrambled to leave my arms and when she succeeded she immediately flew into Joseph arms shivering and hiccupping our eyes then met and I then realised the error and sighed and then tried moving closer .
" Emmy I am so sorry I didn't mean to yell at you " as I tried to reach out to her she then started emiting light and then suddenly i couldent move i looked down and saw that i was restraimed by vines and when i looked at emerald her eyes where glowing.
" Your magesty Joseph said as he used his free arm to free me " are you okay " he asked but I did not answer my attention was with emerald as she still looked at me with fear in her eyes .
" What caused this " Joseph asked
" It shows my little angel here has magic and it is triggered by her emotions and what she's feeling right now is extreme fear " I explained as stood up I then looked at the little fragile being in his arms and then said " emerald I am sorry for screaming at you I just lost my temper and it still doesn't justify what I did and I sincerely apologize to you I promise to be more patient with you is that okay " I said as I stretched out my hand to her and I saw her look at my stretched out hands and Joseph who gave her a reassuring nod and then with those little wings of hers she flew to me and then snuggled next to me we both stared as she started closing her eyes and then fell asleep.
We both sighed in relief and I sat down as carefully as possible not to wake her up.
" So the princess is a plant Fairy " he asked as he picked up the documents which were on the floor . My office was a complete mess right now with documents and tous scatred around the place.
" Seems like it" I responded calmly
" But how her magesty the Emperess has no magic powers but how can the princess have one "
" Don't know and besides one of her parents was a plant fairy so .maybe she inherited it " I said with a nonchalant vioce
"Let this news never reach the ears of the public as I told them that the children I have with dehlia would not have any magical powers and if they find out they might want to use her as a pawn and I would never allow that to happen "
"Yes your magesty" he responded and I then looked at the baby in my arms with a gentle smile on y lips " sleep well my little treasure and don't worry I would try to be the best father for you
