Standing before me was a radiant man in blue jacket that resembled military design.
" Where are my manners , I am General Kilian "
I smiled at him ." Well General Kilian thank you but you should know am not here alone..." I stated.
He looked around as if searching for something or someone.
" Who is the lucky guy?"
Just then I felt someone's hand at my bare back.
" She's with me General..."
Xavier said in a dominating voice. He looked sharply at Kilian . I guess he simply wanted to draw boundaries.
" Your Majesty my apologies..." Kilian said with a bow.
" Don't apologize you did nothing wrong..." I said looking up at Xavier.
Xavier shot me a glare then he excused us from Kilian and pulled me to the corridor.
" What? Did I do anything wrong? We were just talking..." I explained.
" Really just talking...the guy was making moves towards you and you enjoyed it so much you didn't see what he wanted..."
" Wait . So you're saying I would have given in..."
" Would you?!"
I stared in shock. This guy was accusing me of being a cheater !
" I can't..." I stated turning around and leaving despite his protests. Gosh I felt so humiliated. Tears gathered at my eyelids but I rushed away grabbing my gown and storming towards the carriage.
" Home , the palace!" I ordered as I got in . I was furious at his accusations. It actually cut deep.
*****
I immediately rushed to my room and slipped into my night gown as I immediately went to bed. Xavier's words played over iland over in my mind and I decided to check on the magician my family had ties to.
I pulled out some historical books from the library and immediately delved into them . I didn't get to find out much but learnt that there possibly might be other people that shared my power.
Just then I heard footsteps down the hall and I still was sheathing from anger do I ran to my bed from my window sit and pretend to be asleep.
The door creecked open and I heard heavy footsteps approaching. I slept facing away from the door . My bed tilted as someone placed their weight on one side.
Xavier gently removed hair that I covered my face and I dared not move or twitch . He leaned down and placed a kiss on my shoulder then left.
I sighed as he walked away.

" So what do you plan on doing today..." Lily asked me .
I turned to face Austin. " I want to know how to defend myself..."
Austin who simply watched us in the garden shook his head. " His Majesty would end me . No way"
" Well he isn't here. Speaking of him where is he?" I asked and noticed Austin tense up.
" Austin where is his Majesty"
" In battle..."
"Battle!" I yelled in disbelief and walked up to Austin who was at the entrance of the garden. " With who?"
" The Southern Kingdom attached our border and wanted to claim our kingdom this waging war..." Austin explained and I simply stared in disbelief.
I can't believe Xavier wanted to make me a widow .
" And why didn't he tell me?"
" He didn't want you to worry..."
I sighed softly and turned to him. There was nothing I could do but hope that his Majesty didn't die.
" Take me to the Kingdom's archive..."
I decided to find out more about my condition and distract myself. The Kingdom's archive were off limits to common folks . I could access it since I was royalty. Austin nodded.
" Please keep me updated..."
He smiled and nodded. Despite the fact that I still hated his Majesty I didn't want him to die before he apologized.

Lilly and Austin went to grab some snacks and I was left in the archives alone. I did some reading on ancient books and I made a breakthrough.
Apparently there was a group of powerful wizards that possed power of immense amount. Each being able to control different elements of the earth. There was one who could control water, another air , another could wield the power of nature.
Among all these one was strongest. The power to wield fire. Her power enabled her to communicate with powerful entities and gain more power and was this envied. But there was one weaknesses. Her life was tied to one of the royal bloods and killing her could bring disasters upon the kingdom as her fellow wizards could have their way.
" Wow..." I said as I placed back the scroll in the archive. It was getting dark and Lilly and Austin had not returned.
I rose up ready to leave when I heard people whisper.
" She's here..."
I stopped and carefully listened to their words.
" She's alone. The guard and maid have been taken care of..." One of them said . They had cloacks covering their face.
Really! I said and carefully backed up heading for the back door. I made sure not to make any noise. I was almost free when my dress caught on the edge of a table and pulled it.
" Shit !" I said quickly freeing myself ready to bolt when a pair of strong arms caught me and placed something on my face and I passed out.
