Sadness Within Me

The next day, while on the way to Agua island, Eleanor told the princess that she hopes that the trip to Agua island will make her feel better. The princess then said that it surely will and asked what their agenda was for the day.

"We'll be heading to the beach after we settle down, your highness."

"That's great! Did you bring your swim wear?"

"Your highness, I'll just be wearing my old my clothes."

"I won't agree! You need to dress sexy for once you know! Don't worry I have a spare one."

"Your highness, I don't like showing off my body too much."

"Please! I heard there aren't much people at the beach today. I'll be wearing one too!" Kaycee pleaded.

"If it's what make the pain in your heart go away, then I guess I can't object," Eleanor responded.

When they arrived at their destination and were able to settle down in the room, the princess handed Eleanor the black bikini and told her, "Wear this. We'll be heading to the beach in a few minutes. Don't forget to put sun screen."

(At the Fire kingdom)

A servant informed that Eva and the princess has left. Cameron then asked if there was any news about the blue gem.

The servant said, "I can sense that it is in the castle, but I've searched everywhere and found nothing."

Cameron leaned back on his chair. "Even their room?"

"Yes, your majesty. It's no where to be found. It's also not in the water kingdom."

"Where could it be?"

The servant then told him that the gem could be found somewhere in the castle.

"I don't doubt your skills, but how would it be in our kingdom?"

"It must be because someone in the kingdom has it."

"That's possible. I'll try to investigate more about this. You may leave now. Inform me again once you've felt the blue gem's presence."

"I will, your majesty."

(At the Water kingdom)

"Your majesty, the ashes you saw at Yali cave a few weeks ago were discovered to be your father and mother's," the maid informed.

After hearing the maid, tears started falling from the queen's eyes. She then asked if she was sure.

The maid sighed, "Your majesty, we've been investigating this for quite some time. It's really theirs."

"You may leave now," Mia said.

When the maid left, the queen went to Sebastian's room and told him everything. Sebastian then said that they have to accept the fact that her parents are gone.

Mia cried louder, "I can't! I wasn't even able to say goodbye..."

"Mia, your parents might be gone, but did you hear the maid mention that Eleanor is?"

"She didn't, but doesn't that mean that she's also dead? She doesn't need to specify her name."

"Okay. I'll give you some time alone first."

When Sebastian was about to leave, Mia suddenly hugged and told him, "Don't! Please don't go. I need someone by my side. I can't handle the pain."

The prince then hugged her back and told her that he wouldn't go. He won't leave her till the pain in her heart alleviates.

Meanwhile...

(At an unknown place)

"Sir, he has taken the pill," Jay informed.

A voice asked, "Does it work on him?"

"I'm not certain yet, but I think it does."

"Make sure it does or else you know the consequences."

"Yes, sir. I won't disappoint you."

When Jay left, Jack came and told him that he heard that the presence of the blue gem has appeared in the Fire kingdom.

The voice asked, "What about it?"

"They've searched the whole castle, but was unable to find it," Jack informed.

"You've heard it wrong. That's impossible."

"I'm positive. I heard them say it."

"How?"

"Didn't Jay tell you that he was able to place a recorder in the royal hall?"

"He didn't. Anyway, is that the only thing you heard?"

"Yes, they didn't talk about anything else."

The voice responded, "I guess Jay does have some use."

"Isn't he your loyal servant? Of course he has some use," Jack said as he was cleaning his sword.

"You aren't wrong, but sometimes I'm skeptical about his reports."

Jack then smiled and told him that he shouldn't.

"I feel like he's gonna betray us."

"Why would he? Weren't you the one that brought him up when his parents left him in the streets twenty five years ago?" Jack asked.

"I did, but that was just because I'm making use of the resources I have," the voice replied.

"Your indeed full of schemes, so I'd like to remind you that there's always a limit if we wanna achieve our something."

"You don't need to teach me. I'm aware of my every move."

"Whatever. By the way, how's your arm? I heard it got burnt a few months ago."

The voice replied, "It's fine. I just need more time to recover."

"Okay. Then I'll be leaving now. I have some unfinished business," Jack ended.
