The Princess And The Lord

"Why is so dark again, am I dreaming…. again?"

All of a sudden a bright white light hit her, Lory flinches then she shut her eyes tighter. A few seconds later she slowly opens her eyes, once again she stranded to a familiar place, Cestine palace hallway.

"I'll get the dictionary then!" 

someone shouts from behind and it startled her.

"What else you need…..no Jay I will not stop in the pantry to bring you a sandwich!" 

Lory froze when she heard the familiar voice, she turns around in motion.

"And No whiskey for you too Fargy, seriously, this is not how you treat royalty!" he complains with a loud voice and they answer him with laughter.

Lory's gasped as her lips begin to trembles "Lu…cas…"

Lucas slammed the door with an annoyed face then scratching his head, he looks at Lory with the blank face then she walks through her as if she was a ghost, well maybe she is...

Lory's body jolt, she realizes this is only another dream of her…or perhaps more. Lory quickens her pace to chassed Lucas. They pass to few Kings Men who immediately stand on the side to make way then bow their head respectfully toward him. Lucas nods his head to greet them.

He climbs to the winding stairs then passes through another hallway. He make a turn on the corner then stops in front of the large double door, Lory recognizes this place as Royal private library. The place is locked with magic so no one could enter except only arch knight and the royal family could enter this place.

Lory follows Lucas from behind, although is only a dream but she missed him very much so this dream is slightly eased her longing. Lucas rummaged the bookshelf while mumbling while taking out the book from the shelf one by one "Dictionary….Dictionary…not this one…where is it" he put the book back to the shelf with an impatient face.

Lory chuckles watching her brother, she remembers even though they are royalty but the Archknight treat them like a normal person especially in private, their relationship is devoid profit and loss, is just genuine brotherhood, and as a Lucient heir life can be lonely sometimes, people use to treat them like a demigod and they worship them as such so is hard for Lory and Lucas to have a normal relationship.

Lory watches her brother with warm smiles, Lucas looks young perhaps he's only fourteen he quite short for a man, he only two centimeters taller than her, and Lory used to tease him about it all the time but then the Karma slapped her right on the face. When he is sixteen he suddenly has a growth spurt, suddenly he becomes seven centimeters taller than her and he keeps growing after that. Since then he used every opportunity to tease her.

Lucas let out a long sigh when he can't find the book he looking for, he looks up t the second floor with helpless looks. Dragging his feet the lazy prince climb to the second floor with a long sigh every three steps. Lory who follows him from behind can't help but roll her eyes because of her brother laziness.

Zhao Li Xin faces suddenly flash in her mind and she unconsciously giggles, compare to Zhao Li Xin she though Lucas is better at least he still 'reluctantly' came to the library when he told if it's Zhao Li Xin Lory not sure he would comply.

Lucas rummaged more bookshelf until he reaches the end of the shelf on the corner, he takes out the last book then he clicks his tongue exasperatedly he push the book back to shelf harshly then he heard a crack sound, Lucas startled himself.

"Damm*t, please don't break, please don't break…." He carefully took out the book with a worried face.

The private library is the heritage of previous King, every book is precious and the bookshelf is also an old heritage from the previous Lucient so everything must treat carefully, that also the reason why this Library only allowed certain people. If Fred knew he broke the bookshelf Lucas knew he would get a very long vigorous speech from Fred and Uncle Reynald the Librarian.

Just like he thought the wood behind the books cracks quite big, Lucas grumbles in upset. How could the sturdy bookshelf break easily? When Lucas wreck his brain on how to cover up his crimes he suddenly sees something behind the crack "What is that?" he squinted his eyes then knock the wood with his finger.

The sound of the woods told him something is behind the wood, his curious pique he moves all the book on the shelf to the floor. Lory who watch him also got curious then she stand right behind him and her head lean forward "What is that?" she mutter.

Lucas used both his hand to push the wood behind the bookshelf, he surprised the woods can remove and there's a small compartment behind it. 

"A book?" Lucas stunned 'who crazy enough to hide a book in that place?' he ponders while to take out the small book.

Lory becomes stiffed as the color drained from her face, she recognizes that book "Lucas no!" she tried to grab the book from Lucas's hands but her hands went through him, she forgets she is inside a dream. Lucas wiped the book cover who cover with dust then he opens the book then randomly flip the pages.

"Today I met with Lucient Heir, his name is Marcus"

Lucas's hand paused, his heart suddenly stop as his mouth slightly open in an expression of stunned, this is his mother's diary! 

Just like Lory he didn't have much memorable memory about his mother what stuck in his mind is his mother is very beautiful and soft-spoken, she also very smart and sometime…mysterious. His Mother's family background is always vague, they only knew that she is an orphan but who raised her and who is her guardian is, no one knows in certain or maybe no one divulged the situation to him and Lory.

So when he stumbles to her mother's diary, Lucas feel ecstatic. He found the chair near the window then he takes a comfortable position then continue to read.

"When I was born, a fortune-teller told my family that I born under the star of chaos that means when I grew up I will make turn the world upside down and hurt many people, my father who is very superstitious got scared and decide to kill me. Fortunately, my mother didn't have the heart then one night she secretly put me inside the basket and secretly put me inside the food truck.

But sadly the food truck attack by the horde of Beast and stranded in a middle of nowhere, I should have died that day from the crash or from the Beast but somehow I'm alive, I was saved by Druid Priestess"

Lory frown deepens because she didn't read this page, when she was seventeen she also find this diary but she didn't saw this page but she does saw torn marks, at that time she thought it was her mother doing but could it be…

"I was raised as a priestess inside the Djevelskrin Temple and I served the higher priestess of Djevelskrin name Arthea. from her I know about my background and also the truth behind the story of the child who born under the chaos star, she says to me that once a while I will able to forecast the future through a dream, unlike other people who can only see the future I also could change it.

Arthea said the future is like threads that cross each other each thread influences each other and all tidily woven together and become the future that we know of. But I have the ability to pull one of the threads from the interlocked thread, my action called disturbance and this disturbance would create 'chaos' for the predetermined future." 

Of course, this action will give me severe consequences and also…I can only do this one time"

 Lory feel her head is hit by a hammer and her breath become erratic, she covers her mouth in shock as her body trembles violently. This explains the bellflower spell on her body that only Druid Priestess could have known and it also explains about her mother's vast knowledge about ethion Language and her understanding of archaic history that's no one knows.

Her mother is a Druid priestess!
