before the voice

Louisa walked hastily down the hallway getting to the king's ward without a knock she barged in seeing her son sitted deep in thoughts that he did not notice someone barged in,

If only you would think like this , I am sure septon would not be in a mess

Louisa said snapping the king back to reality

Oh! Mother,

He looked at his mother about to smile but frowned

"What brought you to septon?"

"And what is making you go insane!, you are on a wrong path son!"

"Then let me ride my horse in this path"

" Do you ever consider that you are not alone you have a family Ignatius"

" You would address me as your king and nothing else"

A king who can't make wise decision doesn't stand worthy, you are cursed

And the only way to lift this curse is to accept magic.

Ignatius flings out the ink and books on his table

"Go mad all you want but it doesn't change the fact that , magic! Won't return to septon, you can't delay fate but can't deny it when it's time, it will come like a tsunami, but you can stop it now that it is still a wet floor" she said and turned back walking away briskly

"I should have gotten

Rid of you and Odessa " Louisa stopped on her tracks and turned to him

" You don't study like a king should, Odessa might be dead but I believe that a sorcerer like her wouldn't die just by burning"the wind blew Louisa's hair to the air as she smiled to Ignatius and left the room, on getting to the door Letia walks in, her gaze locked with Louisa's before Louisa completely left the room.

Ignatius leaned on the table using his left hand to hold his weight while placing the other hand on his head.

"You know her visits mustn't start this way" Letia said moving towards him, she placed her hands across his shoulders,

"What about the prisoner?"

She asked concerned, the king turned fully facing his wife, this time he placed his hands on her shoulders

"Dungeons" he said knowing she was scared

"Don't worry he can't do anything to harm us" he reassured her and pulled her in for hug

A guard stepped in and immediately turns around

"Your majesty the council awaits" he bowed and left

I have to go he stood firm pulling her wife away from him

Make the meeting brief, I crave for more than a hug, she said seductively

He kissed her forehead before living, she sat partially on the table watching him go out of sights

********

I swiftly jumped out the way rolled to the sword shelf and quickly pulled out two blades, before I could gain balance my sister's charged at me without hesitation

Where they after my life?

Rolling the opposite direction a bit far from them I stood firm now

"I don't want to fight"I said with a sigh

"Okay at least next time learn to keep your dirty mouth shut" Rina fired

I quickly realize she was furious and wanted to retaliate, for what I said to her earlier

Stoo....

I completed my words by using my sword to hit out daggers hauled at me, the daggers hit the archery target board and vibrated

The door swung open and huuf! Zoham walked in.

"Good job lay" he smiled broadly to me

I was confused as I stood there looking at these three weird people, Rina and Gemini picked their swords and left the room I could clearly tell that what I saw was just a tip, so I turned to zoham folding my hands across my chest.

"I came to pick my sword but....

" Thanks"I greeted him

I knew this was a good opportunity to ask him about the myth we caught earlier today

So I waited for him to pick his swords before we started strolling out

" You are careless you know"I said and prayed for a nice response and there came nothing

" You ain't saying anything? I asked again

"What if you happen to come across a myth" I kept pushing further

Then he halted and sighed

"Princess layked, tracking myths it's not my thing, cus if it was, you would have been dead or locked up by now" saying this he hasten his steps without looking back till he was out of sight, I stood there for some minutes in awe, before I decided to shake it off, I am not a myth never!

"Ma lady"

I turned to see Hilda standing beside me, I gave her a questioning look

"The king wants a family dine" she said looking sad, before I could ask what was happening she she turned and jogged away.

Family dine, I said to myself as I walked down the hallway, the guards opened the larged wood carved door for me to walk in, but I felt something weird ,

They weren't speaking but I could hear their unspoken words

One spoke with pity for me, while the other was the opposite, I just there and glared at the guard who spoke ill of me, I kept glaring till he felt uncomfortable and staggered back

Then I smiled and walked in.

The room was as silent as an abandoned stream, no maids or guards Inside, it was only the family

"Here comes the bitch!" Gemini said within herself

It was getting weird I could hear what one thinks,

Well

I walked to the table sat on the vacant chair, acting unbothered as I began to eat.

"The council has declared you isolated" my father said with an atom of emotion,

I was marveled, about two things

How my dad makes final decision with his council of royalties than his family

And why he has never said a good word to me

"Darling you didn't have to say it like that" my mom sprang up

"How was I supposed to say it?

" You know what dine alone, I lost my appetite she said and barged out

My granny stood quietly and left the room,

"We our appetite as welllllu!" My sister's chorused stood and left chuckling like possessed demons,

Being isolated has always been my thing

The only difference now was the kingdom has made it official

Now I was left alone with the king,

"You will be defending yourself before the council tomorrow"

"Tell them I won't be there tomorrow" I said bluntly

"Are you disobeying the king's orders?

" No"I shook my head

" Being isolated means being left alone "

I stood and began to Walk away ignoring the fact he was yelling my name
