I look at my watch, I woke up an hour earlier than I should, I don't think it matters much, should I go to visit my brother, I happily go to my brother's room, but despite knocking several times nobody opens the door, I decide to go in, it's not the first time I do it, but I don't find him inside, I'm worried, it's been 2 days since he hasn't slept, I run to his office and indeed he's there, Evan greets me with a smile, I'm worried, it's not the first time I do it.
Could it be that he stayed in his office again, I'm worried, he hasn't slept for two days now, I run to his office and he is there, Evan welcomes me with a smile, -Has it been so long, is it time to wake up?-.
-Why are you here, it's still time to sleep, you shouldn't be awake-.
-And you, you didn't sleep, you worry me, how can I sleep like this, he always takes too much care of me and doesn't think about himself, I know I'm very important to him, but I wish he would value himself more.
I sigh, -Evan, you should sleep, you haven't slept for two days now-, he seems surprised, it's obvious I never called him by his name, but I can't do more, at this rate he will go crazy, he is probably seeing illusions right now, this kingdom besides never dawns, also has a curse, the less you sleep the more sensitive to this curses you become, you are seeing illusions and going crazy, and although this is bad in itself, our body can't stand so much tiredness.
-Alisha, don't be so rude, you know I'm doing this for our good-, he says, and he is right, if he wouldn't work so hard we wouldn't be able to pay for the food and much less feed the five servants we have, we may be a family of dukes but in this land no plants grow, many die of hunger because of the scarcity of food, few are the plants we can grow only with magic and they are difficult to take care of, the animals are also scarce because many die because they can't stand the environment of this kingdom.
-You are more important, just as I am important for you, you are important for me, at this rate you will go crazy, don't try to pretend-, I take a breath and continue -I know you want to give me the best, but I need you, do you want to leave me just like our parents did?-, I really worry, I don't want to make him feel guilty by mentioning the death of our parents, but he won't listen to me if I don't, I don't think it is wrong to mention it if I do it for his sake, right?
I see that I really affect him, I immediately lower my head, -I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it, I know you would never leave me, but I really want to see you healthy-, this is bad, I feel like I want to cry, but I can't do it, that will only make things worse.
I'm being really sentimental first doing something stupid and now wanting to cry, -Alisha, it's ok, don't worry-, he comes closer and hugs me, I feel a little calmer.
-It's ok, I'll sleep just like my sister says-, he smiles, his smile is contagious as I smiled too.
I walk him to his room, I want to make sure he sleeps, soon he comes in and I stay out, my alarm goes off, -it's time to wake up-, I sigh relieved and immediately head to the library.
The library is very spacious, it is even bigger than the king's library, I guess it is because it was built before the great war, our paternal family is one of wizards and in one of their magical experiments they looked for a remote place to see if they could use magic to make plants grow, however something went wrong and the trees took the shape of a building, apparently our god Rachiel was already preparing for the great war and interfered to create the building as a shelter for the wounded, and so it was used. Once we could tell that we were going to lose the war, our god changed his plans, put in books much of his knowledge and kept them here.
This library is very large, it has a magic that makes it look small on the outside but it is big, it has 7 floors although its corridors are narrow, its reading room is spacious.
I'm a little lost, although I used to come here every time I could, some of my memories have become cloudy, I think I'd better find the librarian.
-Should I give up? I've been looking for him for two hours, maybe I have bad luck, it's impossible that he's not in the library, since he refuses to leave, he even sleeps here, but I can't find him, at this rate it would have been faster to find the book I'm looking for by myself.
I turn around thinking about looking for the book by myself, and finally I find it, he looks at me, -I see that you have been looking for me-, Adam as serious as always, -yes, I have been looking for you for two hours-, I answer, he stares at me for a while and answers, -Miss, you know the library by heart, you have never looked for me, so I thought it was ok to sleep for a while-, now I feel uncomfortable, as if I had discovered my secret, -I know, that's why I'm not complaining, but it seems there is a section I don't know, could you help me to find it? -It seems she didn't believe me, she still asks me where I want to go, and then she guides me.
Now I miss technology, I don't like climbing the stairs, but did I really have to be on the seventh floor, but at least I finally found the geography section.
Adam left immediately, but I don't care, I'm just desperate to find a way to save my brother from death, knowing him even if I tell him not to save me he will save me, that's why I want to find an ancient relic that was mentioned in the novel, it will save its bearer 3 times from death, no matter if it is caused by old age, illness, or accident.
At first I thought of looking for one of the protagonist's suitors, but right now they are children, what can I do with children? although they are strong even at this age, it would still be difficult to approach them, some are in the human realm, and the ones in Meihr's realm are not in good shape, or are starving in the slums, or are at war, I would go look for the ones who are starving, but I can't leave the mansion, besides I don't know where they are, ..... to be honest, I'm afraid to change the story.
Finally I find the location, the relic I am looking for is in this mansion, I just didn't know where it was exactly, apparently it is in the rose garden, I sigh and contemplate the roof of the library, -I really have to do this, even if it hurts-.
