039. Mask off {2}
Louise pov;
"That was the second son Hollan Smith and the heir to the Smith dukedom.
They say that the first son was unable to inherited the dukedom so the second son become the heir.
They never state why the first was unable to inherited it. Some says that he was sick.
Some say that he was not worthy and the Duke sent him off to a countryside or something but it seem not to be the case."
Lord Jeffrey answer as we nodded. "Considering as he is now an apprentice court mage he can't inherited the dukedom."
Amber said. "I heard that the youngest was training to be an imperial knight?"
Shinsu said. "Yes the youngest one is trainning to be an imperial knight." Jeffery answer him.
The three of them seen to be talking about a sensitive topic. As we keep observing the trio, the last white head started to take off her mask.
I know that this is an invasion of privacy but something in me just tell me that I have to know their identities.
Then when the last one take off her mask we all become even more still than before. My heart begin to beat faster as it becomes harder to breath.
I feel as if my whole world just turn upside down. I was asking myself if what I am seeing was true or was an illusion or if I was being delusional.
Sitting there was no other than the person who I'm longed to see for the past ten years. It was my one and only fiancee, Alle or should I say Crystal Light.
Then they started laughing about something while Zeckery look pissed. "A- Al- Alle?" I called out in shock.
Third person pov:
The trio turn around in shocked as Louise and the others approach them. Everyone has a shocked expression as they just stare at each other.
They keep staring at each other for the next 5 minutes until Vivian decided to speak. " So ....Surprised!?" Vivian said in an awkward tone.
"Can somebody say something please the atmosphere is killing me." Delia said.
Another 5 minutes passed as no one say anything which snap Vivian's last string of patience she suddenly yells which surprise everyone.
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY IS EVERYONE JUST STARING AT EACH OTHER. SAY SOMETHING. ANYTHING.
YOU JUST REUNITED AFTER TEN YEAR AND YOUR JUST STARING AT EACH OTHER AND NOT DOING WHAT YOUR SUPPOSE TO DO.
YOU-" Vivian turn to Crystal as she said "SHOULDN'T YOU BE DOING SOMETHING LIKE RUNNING AWAY OR SOMETHING AND YOU-"
She then turn to Jeffery and Louise. "SHOULDN'T YOU BE DOING SOME DRAMA LIKE GOING AFTER HER AND APOLOGISING.
MOVE IT PEOPLE I NEED DRAMA." Vivian finish as she cross her arms. Then they heard clapping. Everyone turn around to saw Mark clapping.
"Congratulations you just reach the final level of sarcasm." "Alle I-" Louise started as he can't find anymore words to continue.
Jeffery, Louise and Crystal was just standing there awkwardly as everyone else was staring at them.
"I'm ...I'm sorry I can't right now." Crystal said as she teleport away. "Alle/Stalle! Wait!" Jeffery and Louise yells as Crystal disappear.
"OK that was awkward. I was expecting drama but that was not what I was expecting."
Everyone turn to Zeckery and Vivian as Vivian said that. "Now that we officially meet let's introduce formally shall we.
My name is Zeckery Smith, the oldest son of the Smith family." Zeckery said as he bows a little.
"As you all can already tell my name is Vivian Liberty, the second princess of Klolina and that was Crystal the long lost daughter of the Light family."
"Ah yes I'm Louise Cyber. These are Jeffery Light, Leo Bran, Shinsu Albert, Delia Albert, Amber Litch and Mark Deam."
Louise introduce everyone. Zeckery and Vivian just nodded and said "Ah yes I am well aware of you all as I already know Stalle's past.
I can't say I don't hold grudges against you. What you did to Stalle was unforgivable but I'm willing to give you a chance if your willing to take it.
Keep in mind that if you fail this time I will do everything in my power to make sure she won't associated with you ever again.
I can promised you at least that."
Vivian face turn dark as she said that. Then she left Louise and the others and went back to Crystal's room with Zeckery.
The border problem went on for two days. During that two day Crystal did her best to avoid Louise and the others.
On the third day the meeting went into section again. Except this time the trio didn't attend at first.
After everyone was seated the king of Alfear stand up and said "Everyone shall we get back to where we cut off last time.
As I was saying the announcement will be made by someone else." The king announce as the trio walk into the room with their masks on.
Everyone was slightly confused. Then the trio pull their masks down as everyone widen their eyes.
Everyone in the room except for the council mages and the apprentice court mages and the people from yester day was surprise.
There in the middle of the room stand the second princess of Klolina, the first son of Duke Smith and the long lost daughter of Duke Light.
Whispers and mummers filled the whole room. "Isn't that the young lady of the Light family who disappeared ten years ago."
"The second princess of Klolina." "Isn't that the first son of Duke Smith who was studying abroad." "Crystal!"
The Duke and Duchess Light said as they look at Crystal with wide eyes."Big brother?"
Hollan widen his eyes as he look back at his father and mother. The Duke and Duchess Smith just nodded meaning that they already know about this.
Vivian took a deep breath and said "The importance announcement that was going to be made was the prophesy of a war that is going to take place in the future.
To be exact about a celestial war between heaven and hell.
Thousands of years ago, monsters ruled these land. People were dying of incurable disease and natural disaster often occur.
People were dying to the risk of human extinction. Those era were called the dark ages.
During the dark ages creatures suffer endlessly like a nighmare. One day a prophesy came.The prophesy said:
Blood shall scatter
and lives will fade
A war of the light and
dark shall take place.
Fear not for she'll be there
Golden locks and jade of orbs.
She who hold the weapons of three
Shall be the power of humanity.
On May 4th, the day that the prophesy came a house in an abandoned village was lighting with various colors.
Inside was dead body of a woman who died while giving birth and a beautiful child with golden hair and bright jade eyes.
The light attract a certain fox monster named Linda. When Linda went into the house she saw a beautiful human baby.
So Linda decided to take care of the child. She took her to her house and raised it. She named the child Cindy Alexander.
Linda was scared for her and Cindy's life so she take Cindy and ran off to the cliff of eclipse.
She found a cave there and they live there.
One day she told Cindy to stay there while she go out to search for food. After Linda left Cindy felt a strange present in the cave.
So being a curious child she is she went deeper into the cave. she came across a giant crystal.
Once she touch the crystal the crystal burst to pieces and she also fainted.
She saw God in her dream as God explain everything to her about how she must save the world. Once she agree she woke up from her dream.
She took the 'thing' and went out of the cave to find her mother, Linda murdered by a group of monsters and she lost control.
She kill the monsters and then she teleported to the middle of the war.
Everyone look up to the blinding light to see a girl with golden hair and jade eyes which was glowing right now.
She used that 'thing' to end the war and then disappear.
Legend has it that she hid the 'thing' across the whole continent before she disappear.
No one as seen her since then but a prophesy was left behind. The prophesy said:
The war has ended.
Peace will be given
Thousands of years
of normal life
but don't be too fright for
Once again the disaster will strike.
the saviour of humanity, Cindy
will once again rise.
but this time for shee
will come again as thee.
That's everything I can remember. This meeting was held exactly for this reason.
We would like everyone to cooperate during the war."
