6 It always happens...

Valerie was spouting profanities to his brother in her mind. One moment he was so against it and another moment he was so happy to go! Just because of Cynthia.

It always happens to her. I wish I could also have a henpecked husband like her. But that's not the main point here. At last, she took a deep breath and asked: "But how do we find him?"

"Well, let's start with age, he will be around twenty, orphan or adopted with powers." Replied Cynthia.

"But that's very little information, there would be many witches in the human realm who will be around twenty years and few of them could be orphans" replied Valerie.

"That's the point very few, witches normally live more than humans, so having an orphan witch just at the age of twenty years is very uncommon. And not to forget he will be an orphan from birth."

"But only there." She quickly added after seeing his father's sad face. God, she was just stating facts okay. Does it need to be overdramatic!

The red-haired girl looked at her father and thought what her mother said was right. Her father still misses his first wife and son. Right, that also could be a point.

"Father, do you remember anything about your son? Like his eyes or hair colour or any other specific mark?" Asked Cynthia after pondering for a while.

The king looked at her daughter, people would assume that he was thinking about the answer. But no, he doesn't need to think about it. He could reply about it in a single heartbeat.

He was thinking about what his daughter said. Your son! Shouldn't it be brother instead? The differences are much more than he had initially thought.

"Yes, the baby has oceanic blue colour eyes, blonde hairs and fair skin. " Arthur wanted to say about your son's remark but refrained himself. "

"Cynthia I want you to keep this matter to yourself, don't share it even with your siblings and mother."

When she gave her a suspicious look and arched her brow like asking for an explanation. He added "No, it's not like I don't trust my family. But even walls have eyes and ears daughter. There is nothing wrong in taking precautions, Right" only she is the one who makes him that exasperated.

"Ok, as you say, father. Is there anything else you want to tell us?" she asked again because she was sure there was. Otherwise, his father would have already asked them to go for preparation after all he is very enthusiastic over all this.

"Yes, Cynthia I want you to take care of yourself. You know I love you, my dear." He said, patting her head.

"Father! I got it. We should go and do preparation, alright." she said embarrassingly looking at his fiance who was giving her a smirk. God, she is an adult ok. what's up with patting her hair!!

"Okay, go on, you all three will go tomorrow with the new batch of traders. An apartment will be purchased on victor name, and your new identity cards would be ready.

Don't pack clothes much. Humans don't wear those clothes anyway. You can go shopping there. This is the name and address of a few of our aides living there.

In case you need anything. Try to mingle as much as you can and try to not use your power in public even if needed to tell Victor immediately. He may help you with memory manipulation.

You all three will work separately to cover more areas but live together in Rowan city. Any questions? He asked. Although he was sure they both had planned everything from the morning.

They all three exchanged glances and once confirmed that they all are fine with the plan, they denied together and left the chamber.

"Do you think this would work, Harold? They were not too happy to go!" Asked the king looking at their backs. He was sure they would have denied if given an option. 

"They would be fine, it's just all this sudden information is too much for them, they are good kids. Cynthia is wise. Victor is strong while Valerie is good at socialising to get information.They are a good team. Trust them"he encouraged his anxious friend.

Sometimes he thinks about how he could handle the kingdom. But again his foolishness only works while we are talking about his first wife and son.

"If there is nothing else even I would go for preparation for tomorrow. We have to make it like this trip is for business." he stood up and bade goodbye to look for his fellow mates to discuss business.

Somewhere he was also sure he needed to work a bit on Valerie also. She is not that goody two shoes the way she shows. He knows his daughter well.

In the empress chamber

"Empress the princess is here and asking for a meeting." The lady in waiting announced.

"Don't need to be so formal with Cynthia, Sylvia I have told you many times. She is my daughter, not the subjects of the empire" Felicia reminded her although she was sure she wouldn't listen.

So many years have passed but her friend one joined the work here. She never became like before.

"Decorum needs to be fulfilled my empress, the subject apologizes for her inability to fulfil your wish" she replied with a ninety degrees bow.

See she knew the reply " fine, allow her to come"

"Yes empress" she went out to call the princess.

" Mother, how are you?" Cynthia asked after entering the room.

Felicia looked at her daughter's red hairs, green eyes, chiselled jawline, heart-shaped face, slender neck. She just looks like how she looked in her younger days

"Yes, I am good. Thanks to your recommendation of the Therapy. I was not expecting you today especially at your class time. Is something the matter?" She worriedly asked if her daughter was not from the one who would leave her class until there is an emergency.

"Yes mother, I am going to the human realm for a few months"
