Few days have passed since that incident.
Since the day when I had a close call to death, Ralph doesn't leave me alone for even 1 minute. Taking care of all my necessities. With his help, I was able to recover soon enough.
Now, 3 days after that incident:
I'm being accompanied to our regular training grounds by Ralph.
Returning back to that mystic world, I feel an immeasurable amount of fear thinking about what happened and what could have happened.
That incident shook my whole being making me shake uncontrollably.
"Princess...."
Hearing my name I look towards him with teary eyes.
His pupil widening seeing this.
"Im not weak. It's just even I'm scared of some things sometimes. "
"You are right, princess. Everyone comes face to face with such situations at some point in their life.
The important thing is that you must overcome those limitations, you must overcome your fear.
And I'm here to support you in that!!!
So you must overcome this fear today!!!"
Saying this he puts a supporting hand around my shoulders and guides me towards the lake. But my feet are stuck in its place.
Turning towards me he looks me in the eyes for some time.
And bends down.
Hmmm
What is he doing??? But before I could think anything I got the answer.
Lifting me in his arms in that old princess style, he says, " Let's go and do this princess. I won't let you fail"
And with that, we went towards the lake.
Placing me on a nearby rock he bends down and looks towards me with that sweet innocent look.
I can't ignore it he knows that and uses it against me.
"You will give this all a new try. Right princess!!!
I believe in you and I know you won't give up so easily!!!"
Those honest eyes and cute face, how could I reject it?!?!
His playing melted my heart.
"Ok, I will give it my best shot!!!"
With that, we started our usual magic practice. Starting with the simpler spells.
He took my hands and chanted the spells with me helping me control the flow of my magic.
It all felt so surreal, so mesmerising, so calming. With Ralph's help, I forgot all my troubles.
And the day past in a blur.
I learnt to control my powers somewhat. And gained a lot of confidence.
With that, we left the gardens and went for dinner.
Walking through the maze of corridors I moved besides Ralph making small talks.
We had a sweet dinner with some dear gossips and all.
Ralph told me more and more about his kingdom.
They had class systems.
With the lowermost being slaves or 1st-grade vampires.
Then comes the middle-class vampires, Mid grade vampires.
Then the barons and generals.
Then royals and at last the topmost being the Vampire King or my bestie Vampireee.
He also told me that the king is the supreme power in the vampire kingdom no one defies him and that means absolutely no one.
Not even the earlier king and queen.
He has absolute power over there.
To reach to a vampire kingdom he must travel through the great river.
"Tell me more about this kingdom of yours. It sounds pretty different from all the cultures and towns I know of!!!'
"Enough with these nonsense ramblings of mine. Concentrate on your, you need to restore your lost energy. And after this you are gonna rest.
You aren't fully healed as of yet.
We can talk about this later on."
