Gabrielle felt as if a bucket of cold water has been poured over her head.
"Yeah,surprising right,ha ha ha ha-,what,why are you all staring at me"
Gabrielle angrily stood up and marched out of the dinning room.
Calypso couldn't believe her ears no wonder he was acting all nice.
"I. am .not .marrying anyone"she picked her words with a gritted teeth,and also left the dining room.
"Wait,caly!" Alfred called,while he followed after her.
"Why is Gabrielle angry" asked the king.
"Why won't she be mad zedric,Gabrielle is senior to calypso,how can calypso get married first." Their grandmother snapped.she also angrily stood up,and left.
"I've lost my appetite"
The queen said with a fake smile and followed the grandmother.
The king was left confused,he chuckled finding the whole drama ridiculous.
Everyone is angry now,who should he go after.calypso of course. He decided and also left,leaving only Alondria at the table.
Alondria smiled and sighed with relife,now with everyone gone,she can eat to her hearts content,without being reprimanded on eating like a lady, watching her weight,blah blah blah.
How can she marry lord Kai,she's just 17,how,why would Lord Kai even suggest something so outrageous,he wants to either ruin her life,what does he even see in her. Calypso thought,her lashes were damp with tears,shortly her father came into her room,further aggravating her anger.
"No wonder" she sighed.
"No wonder what" asked the king.
"No wonder you've been acting so nice to me...you know,,,,I kept thinking what made you change your cruel ways,I just can't wrap my head around your sudden change,something kept telling me you have an ulterior motive"
"Calypso liste-"
"No you listen to me,I will not marry lord Kai,over my dead body,you're gonna have to kill me first"
"No don't say that-"
"If you wanna get rid of me,why don't you just say it I'll gladly leave and never turn back,I never knew you hate me this much" she sobbed.
"WILL YOU KEEP QUITE AND LISTEN TO ME LADY" he yelled in anger making her flintch.
"no body is forcing you to marry lord Kai,am just telling you what he proposed, not my decision," he added making her furrow her brow,
"What did you tell him then?" She asked calmly
"I told him its your decision to make,and he said he's gonna ask you,but then he said i should put in a word for him to convince you"
"why didn't you say that since the beginning"
"Because you won't allow me finish,you always cut me off,and I hate it" he emphasized.
"look calypso" he came closer to her taking her hands in his.
"I know I've been the worst father to you,but I need you to understand I wanna make things right, I've never hated you calypso,I've always loved you,I've always look out for you,but you couldn't see it"
Calypso could see the sincerity in his eyes,and she knew he wasn't lying.
"What changed?". she asked.
"I almost lost you calypso " he sighed with his head lowered down.
"You said you've always cared and look out for me,I find it hard to believe father,cause if you do,you'll know your queen and princess abuse me almost every night" she smiled sadly,finally deciding to come clean and expose them.
The king froze In his spot. His blood running cold…
"Gabrielle honey pls calm down"
The queen tried pacifying her. Today is the first time in a long time she's seeing Gabrielle shed a tear,and it shows her daughter is really pained,why does calypso have to get everything,No. Never.she won't allow her daughter suffer what she suffered in the hands of Celine,guess she'll just get rid of the daughter same way she did the mother.she smirked in her heart,recalling Celine,only she knows what happened decade ago,and the secret will die with her alone.she always gets what she wants,she wanted the throne and she got it,removing every obstacle from her way.
"Why mother,why does she steals everything away from me,first brother Alfred,then father,now lord Kai?"
"Gabrielle,calm down,as far as am your mother you will get married to Lord Kai,
Just breath okay,lord Kai is yours"
"Why are you still calm and smiling in this situation mama?"
"Patience. Thats the secrete in getting what you want". Gabrielle gave her mother one last look,before taking a deep breath trying to calm her raging heart.
"I swear on the blood of my ancestors,I will not rest,until CALYPSO EVAN, is six feet's underneath the ground"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha" both mother and daughter laughed eviliy their laughter so evil enough to elicit fear in the heart of the person evesdropping on them.
When Alfred saw their father got into Calypso's chamber,he left them both to talk out their differences while he heads to xerox manor. on his way there, he saw Alondria in the dining room alone,munching on different desert,she looked so funny,he decided not to disturb her,so he quietly left.
"Wow lord Kai really is brazen enough" xerox chuckled.
They were both in Xerox's secret study,Xerox's secret study isn't like the usual study,his study has shelves but the shelves are filled with different sort of potions,it also has books but its not natural books,its magic books. Xerox is a white witch,a secret only Alfred knows,he's not fully a witch though he's also an elf.
"Never thought I'll see the real you again xerox" Alfred teased referring to his hair.
Xerox was in the process of preparing a portion. Alfred furrowed his brow noticing the ingredients for the potion,he's very familiar with this type of potion and that's because he watched Xerox prepare it many times.
"don't tell me you are planning on going back there again?" Alfred asked with an angry tone.
"Its obvious" replied xerox nonchalantly
"Xerox you're putting the life of every elf in danger if you keep doing this,it took us decades to hide from them" Alfred snapped.
"Alfred...you know i have to do this,you know it" xerox answered calmly.
"Arrggh" Alfred groaned running his fingers through his hair.
"If this gets out we are getting into big trouble xerox"
"No one will know.."
