" What the hell is going on?" I asked as we got in the library and pulled away.
" Gosh he'll end me if I tell you. " Austin said pacing around.
" Tell me!" I ordered.
" You're life is in danger. The wizards who wanted you dead are coming..." Austin said.
I froze in place as Austin walked towards me.
" We need to go..." He said in a sweet and calm voice.
I nodded and he turned away and after chanting some spell a rosy structure sort of like an entrance appeared. I followed him into the portal and we appeared in a field.
" Listen . My lady no one can know you're the one tethered to his Majesty..." Austin ordered.
" So they won't have an idea we are married..." I asked.
" That they know but they only think it cause of some political gains and you're relation to magic..."
I nodded and spotted people walking towards them .
" Matrin !" A female with a sword by her side and a cloak covering her head said.
" Gia .…" Austin said.
" Is this her?" Gia said assessing me from head to toe.
I felt invisible but just kept quiet as they literally discussed my presence.
We soon started walking with Austin and Gia leading as I followed with some guards behind me.
*****
We arrived at a mansion, no a palace. It was huge and in the middle of the city. Crap ! This man lived here.
A middle aged woman met us at the door and stared at me .
" Ma'am, this is..." Gia started but the woman cut her off.
" My daughter in law..."
My eyes almost popped from their sockets. Wait daughter in law. That means this is Xavier's mother.
" Come with me!" She ordered and turned around walking into the palace.
I immediately followed having no other options. Gosh Xavier and I were going to have a talk.
She was silent the whole way until we reached the end of the northern wing. Huge golden doors stood before me.
" This is your room . Get some rest and freshen up then we'll talk..." She said and I nodded slightly as she flicked her arm and the doors flew open slightly.
I walked in and flicked my hand to close the door. Magical realm! I am in a magical realm! Of course doors were opened using magic.
At the middle was a huge bed with Black covering. The curtains weren't drawn but light from the balcon illuminated the room . There was a desk . It looked like... Xavier's room .
I headed to the closest and I was right. It was his room . It was filled with his clothes. The other side of the closest had my clothes. What else did I expect we are married after all.
****
I enjoyed the night breeze in the palace gardens filled with all sorts of flowers and plants.
" Are you okay?" I turned to see my mother-in-law walking towards me and nodded. " Judging by your expression he still hasn't mentioned me..."
I smiled confirming her suspicions. She chuckled.
" It ain't a surprise..." She said. " Call me Serona or if you like mom..."
I tensed up. Gosh Xavier was putting me in such an odd situation.
" Call me Jessica..." I said as she stood right next to me.
" I'm sorry..." Serona said. I turned to meet her gaze. " I know that he's not all that sugar and sweet and his probably annoyed the crap out of you..."
I laughed. " It's fine. His the Emperor..."
I couldn't believe such a stuck up ass came from this loving woman .
****
I felt entitled to do it so I did. I would probably regret it later but that would be for later.
" Just make sure he's safe..." I said to Austin as he left. He nodded. If those guys were after me then they'll go after Xavier as well.
Soon after Austin left I decided to walk around and take in the scenery.
" I saw you with a bow..." Gia said approaching me as I was deep in my book. I placed it aside and faced her. " You're good!"
" Thank you..." I said. She smiled.
" Come on change and I'll show you a few tricks I got up my sleeves..." Gia said clutching her sword.
I agreed since I was pretty bored. I changed into a back jumpsuit with sheaths at its side. I joined Gia in the training section of the palace. She handed me a bow and some arrows.
Her twist was adding magic as she shot the arrows. She claimed it made it more powerful.
" Try it!" She said.
I pulled an arrow and channeled the least amount of power I possibly could and released it. It travelled and lightning speed and pierced the board breaking it .
Crap it wasn't supposed to be that powerful.
" Wow!" Gia said. " You're a fast leaner!" She said and we both laughed as I retrieved the arrow which was surprisingly in one piece.
