Uncovering puzzle

"So you want to tell me that you felt a certain bond with a tiger in that forest, right? "

" Yes, and this is the first time I felt something like this. "

Christiano scratched his forhead with a serious look on his face. This was the first he heard something like that.

" You met that tiger today. So did you felt it that way at that time too. "

Anne shaked her head in dissapproval.

" Quite strange. "

Christiano who was sitting on the couch stood up. He gave his hand to her and asked her, " Then milady, would you like to go for a excavation with me at that forest? " He gave a little smile.

" Yes. " She took his hand and stood up. " And stop giving that smile."

He leaned towards her and whispered at her ear, " Why? Does it make your heart flutter? "

She with a flinch pushed him away. " Enough with your jokes now. Let's move to the forest. " Her ears were flushed red. ' Damn, he is growing more and more...raunchy.'

He chanted some verses and flinged his fingers. In the blinking of their eyes, they found themselves at that forest.

" Now show me the exact location where that incident happened. "

As they started walking towards that path, he gave a glance at her face.

" So, should I consider this as a date? " He asked in a light manner.

" Umm.. Kitty... "

He raised both of his hands upwards. " I am joking. Do not take me seriously. " He paused for a moment and then asked her, " I have been wanting to ask you a question. "

" What question? "

" Do you really love that Caesar ? "

She bit her lips. ' Love? Do I love him? ' It's true that she always found him when she was danger but it could be hardly define as love. As love is something that can not be defined in words. It doesn't let you sleep or eat peaceful.

She turned her head towards him and asked, " Then let me ask you a question first. You said you have feelings for me that day. So, why do you think that you love me? Are you sure that there is any romantic feelings for me in your heart that will remain for eternity ? "

He was out of words.

" That's.... "

" It's here where I met that tiger. " , said Anne as she pointed her fingers toward the location.

They walked to and fro there.

" It is not happening. It was a complete different feeling. "

She might had witnessed it for a brief period of time, but it was enough to recall it a second time.

"Then I guess there is no point in wandering here. "

She was quite disappointed and it was clearly visible on her face. " Is there no other way? "

" There is one method. There are many books related to empire's history in my tower. I guess something can be found there. "

" Then let me come too. "

He kept silent.

" What? Am I not allowed to enter the tower ? "

He raised one of his eyebrows. " I am the mastar of the tower. Even if you are not allowed who is gonna rebel against me? " " It's just that the.... "

" Then take me with you. I do not want to listen any other explanation. "

She was quite anxious due to the unsolved puzzle .

He took a sigh and clasped his fingers and they were teleported to the tower.

" Blurgh "

" I wanted to tell you but you did not bother listen to me. "

Anne puked at the very moment they arrived there. It was because the distance between the tower and the kingdom was quite large. For a first time long distance traveller, it may affect the body resulting into nausea and dizziness.

" I am fine now. Let's move. "

As she walked towards the stairs of the tower se realised one thing. ' This place surely looks grim. '

The whole tower was made up of limestone. It was like those castles she saw in magic realism movies in her previous life. At streets only wizards can be seen who were wearing notably dressed in long, flowing robes and occasionally a pointed hat. ' Seems like I am at Hogwarts . '

" Is it a tradition of you wizards to wear those long robes. "

" Why? Do you like one? Then I would wear one for you. "

She shaked her head. " Stop your gibberish and answer my question. "

" You can say it as a tradition. The fifth mastar loved long robes , so he told other fellow wizards to dress up like that. It was a strange obsession of his that has now became a style. "

They moved to the library section.

" Wow. "

Anne never saw such a big library in her whole life. It was a really big.

" It's bigger than the royal library. ", he said in a proud way.
