80 Chapter (80):  Scoot

Two carts halted in front of Riva's mansion. Elizabeth helped her sister to get down and assisted her up the stairs.

"Elizabeth, can we talk after you rest?"

Luna asked innocently.

"Yes, sister! There are things."

Luna nodded. She grasped the point that Elizabeth didn't tell them everything.

Ryan was after a private place to talk to his father. He couldn't hide what he witnessed. He made sure the women went inside so he looked at his father who grabbed his arms, walking slowly.

"I will go to have some rest after I tell you some things."

Miguel nodded.

Charles was holding the door and they walked inside. Drawing the library path, Ryan was rehashing everything in his mind and found himself being inside the library. There was a Divan that Ryan could lay.

They went directly there. Charles halted by the door.

"Shouldn't we show the wound to Physician Remington?"

Asked Charles.

"No, Maria knew her job well, she tended to my wound better than any physician and gave me a faerie remedy, it killed half of my pain."

Charles sighed, yet that woman wasn't a physician. Anyway, he couldn't convince this stubborn master. He slammed the door masking his face with the scorn that was always a shade of his skin.

Ryan arranged his body on the divan. His father sat on an easy chair in front of him.

"I am ready Ryan! What did happen?"

Ryan was certain that what he was to inform would frighten this man that feared nothing before. A huge shock.

"Father, Elizabeth killed the first imp, all alone!"

Miguel felt the knots in his stomach, a shiver shook his heart and tickled his brain, a chill that could be counted, terror!

"Speak son!"

Ryan didn't need to ask what his father felt as it was apparent on his face.

"Her eyes changed color in gold, like the sun! She became like a wraith, fast and strong, she jumped up the tree and caught the imp. She killed the imp in a few minutes. The creature was frightened of her and shrieked the whole time."

Ryan described enough well to notify the lord. Elizabeth's other half that was sleeping in the deeps had been provoked due to current tension. She was sensitive to her family and fear poked her inward faerie blood.

"Did the knight notice what you did?"

He did not doubt that the knight discovered it.

"I don't think so, she threatened her but it was dark and Elizabeth's face was covered. We excused the reaction was out of terror and the hard training but we both know her skill is not that much to kill an imp!"

Ryan noted.

"Natasha knows, son!"

The Lord stated, he sighed, his numb palms scrubbed his laps.

"She is in danger." Ryan didn't want to protest because his father was a wise man, he knew Bolingtone kin better than anyone.

"I know! But we must wait to see if she is going to tell Livia."

"Father, they would kill her if they notice."

"Yes, son! There is only one way to rescue her, to make the court under an oath with us."

Ryan coughed. It was impossible that Elizabeth would accept to become the mistress of the prince.

"We know the laws! If we protect them they will protect us but if we rise against them they will kill our family, and will make us watch."

Miguel added, his face ran dim, his lips darkened and were dry.

"Father, let me kill the knight!"

"Don't be foolish, if she spoke then there are many people who perceived this now but if she didn't, I would talk to her but it would not help enough because the court has many spies. If her power rose amongst many witnesses we can't help."

The lord boy clutched his fist and punched the green velvet divan. He wanted to swallow this rage but it had taken all of his body.

"Be calm! What did the faerie say? She didn't touch her, did she?"

Ryan's eyes rolled on his father! That meaningful silence had kept many words behind

"Gods! What happened then?"

Miguel asked, he wanted to hear every single thing that she pointed out and Ryan told him everything despite the promise he made to Elizabeth. He had a loose mouth and this wasn't a childish game that they could hide from the Lord.

"We can't scoot and let them abuse us! Don't let anyone else hear even a single word of what the moon reader confided you. Bury it here with me."

Ryan nodded, his eyes rolled away, the library was cold and dim as the fireplace and candles were dead.

"Can't we send her to faerie land? I would rather send her among them rather than sending to Bolingtone!"

Ryan suggested. If it was on her, Elizabeth would like to be executed by fire and would never step in the prince's room.

"These are possibilities! I am going to convince her to accept this."

Miguel couldn't find another option. To protect her, he had to give her power.

"What about Luna! She is bound to my rascal uncle!" Ryan remarked it.

Miguel pinched the middle of his eyebrows. What a bothering situation, it was. This one just ruined his plan.

"Can you let her go to the court?"

"If she refuses me, yes, but either way, you can't tell her whom she should marry. On the other hand, we must find another way to rescue Elizabeth."

Miguel shook his head, "an oath between two blood includes the whole family. If Luna makes the oath they won't harm Elizabeth. But I am thinking about your heart."

Ryan closed his eyes. He was already heartbroken but he would not let the sisters die. They loved each other so much, Luna was depressed because Elizabeth was sad. And Elizabeth provoked her faerie blood to find the cure for Luna. Their spirits were entangled together.

"I will take you all to Bolingtone! If I hide you here they will become suspicious and might target you."

Miguel stated.

"What about Lisa?"

"She won't protest, keeping her close to me is better than letting my cons have access to her."

The rain lashed the vintage colorful glasses of two-line casement windows and the thunder began to roar. The uproar had begun in all lands, it was chaos because the world had run out of order.
