chapter 21

This news though good did not sit well with Raphael. They were mates and could pass as husband and wife but why did she not discuss such an important step with him? was he that unreliable in her eyes?

" You could have told me about it and I could have got you the best trainer." Raphael said plainly but Sophia wasn't stupid not to hear the disappointment in his voice .

" I know you could have gotten Me the best trainer, but Raph,I wanted to do it myself. You are busy with important matters of the kingdom and since I can't help you with that,I thought that I should atleast lessen your burdens and do the simple things myself." Sophia defended herself.

" I might be busy but nothing is More important than you,not even this kingdom." Raphael said seriously and he meant it. To him, his mate will always come first.

"Okay Raph,am sorry. I just don't want to tire you more so I thought of thinking about you more,I was in the wrong, please forgive me." She said guiltily. She had just wanted to lessen his burdens but it seems Raphael was not happy with it.

Seeing her guilty face, Raphael thought maybe he went too far. She was just being considerate of him and he didn't have to scold her for it.

" Am sorry my queen,I didn't mean to make you sad. I guess my worry overtook my rationality, please forgive me." Raphael apologized pulling her to himself and hugging her to his body.

He couldn't watch her being sad. He knew she was his weakness,his Achilles heel that his enemies could use against him. That is why he could not stop himself from worrying about her always.

" It's okay, I understand." she indeed understood him. She could relate to his worries because she was also very much about him. She was worried such that she didn't mind sacrificing herself as long as he remained safe.

" Come, let's go back to our room. Are you hungry? I'll order the kitchen to prepare something for you." Raphael said pulling her towards the castle.

" No need,I already informed Rizia to get us breakfast. I am sure you did not eat anything." Sophia commended. She was damn sure the moment she saw him pacing around that his worry for her would never allow him to eat peacefully. She had then dismissed Rizia with the instructions to send some light breakfast to their room.

" I was very worried to think about eating." Raphael honestly replied.

Sophia's guilt intensified. She surely knows how to make him worried and he doesn't even think about himself when he starts to worry. She could only symphathize with him.

They arrived at their room and their breakfast was already served. They sat down and had their meal peaceful. Raphael could tell that she had something in her mind. He knew his mate way too well to know when something was bothering.

" Just spit it out already." He finally said causing Sophia to sigh dramatically.

" I am planning on visiting the kingdom,I have some matters I need to clear with my father concerning my identity." Sophia said finally getting the matter off her chest.

" mmmmm" Replied Raphael instantly surprising Sophia.

" You agreed?" she asked happily.

" Were you expecting me to oppose?" Raph asked amused by her behavior. Yes,he was protective but it was better if some things were sorted out.

Since it seems she's aware of her contrasting powers,it was better if she clarified everything with her father.

He knows that his best friend dreaded this day ever since he realized that his wife was no ordinary human girl as she had presented herself.

He couldn't even believe that his friend was married to a demon and to top it all the demon he was sent here on Earth to protect.

He had spend years trying to locate that demon. it was such an irony that he was looking everywhere for what was by his side all this while.

Even he himself was shocked to know the real identify of the queen of the Windsor kingdom. She had hidden herself pretty well and lived her life well.

"I just didn't expect you to agree so easily." Sophia murmured but loud enough for Raphael to hear her.

" Since you want to know more about your origins, who am I to stop you. Besides,it's good you finally decided to visit your father. You never did ever since you stepped foot here. He must be missing you but dares not step foot here." Raphael explained but he was cautious not to let his mouth slip and give Sophia the idea that he knows about her origins.

" okay thank you. I will head out immediately so that I can come back early." Sophia said excitedly. She was grateful that Raphael did not raise any objections to her plans of visiting her father. She just hoped that her father would not hide the truth from her. She needed to know about herself so that she can know how to proceed.

" Just be careful on your way out and pass my greetings to your father for me." Raphael added.

Now that the truth was resurfacing,she might be in even more danger. If the demons got a whiff of the news that she was Julia's daughter, they might come after her in pursuit of the essence.

It was ironical how gravely he was punished and exiled from heaven but these creatures with their greedy nature were being left scot free.

He had seen how mercilessly Julia was killed by her own kind just to acquire more power. Good thing she had already transferred her essence to her daughter's body and sealed it.

" Okay am leaving now." Sophia said full of enthusiasm .

Raphael could tell that she was excited but who wouldn't be? She was afterall going to her birthplace.

"Atleast wear something warm. you know how Cold that place is." He reminded her politely.
