Chapter 79

**Acacia Point of View**

Zyl Vizac was a vicious person, I knew that. But never had I thought he would time and again threaten me with my son's life even after my previous warning.

As if he was not enough, Dynoh has been giving me these creepy feelings every time she looks at my son. I can clearly read the sentence, 'I want to rob this rob away' in her eyes every single time she looks at him.

Not allowed to leave the small courtyard I was staying in, with the only help of Dynoh that prefer not to have, I again find myself in a fix of what to do next.

Lerno has been keeping an eye on me from the shadows and both the times I met Lord Vizac was no less than a disaster.

These past few days, I realized something yet again. Even though the bedchamber and the courtyard I was living in was beautiful, it held no warmth. No matter how gorgeous it is, if the resident is not living there happily, then even it is made of gold and diamonds, it has no worth.

I miss my home. Home as in the one in my world and for some reason Treasure palace as well!

At least in Treasure palace, I lived my life as per my will there even though I did not have freedom over many things. However, here, in Vizac castle, I find myself in a similar situation from several months ago when I was locked in the castle all alone and scared.

This time, I'm happy I have the most important person in my life with me; my son. Although he was in much dangerous situation, I'm still grateful for his presence since I know I will do anything to keep him safe and happy.

These past few days of my stay here, I came to learn many things that I didn't and couldn't back in Jerk kingdom. He never revealed any details regarding the situation of the curse not did he let anyone do so. Not only about the curse but he also managed to close doors to any simple information about his race, kingdom and people.

A few of these things, I was able to learn them in the past few days thanks to Lord Vizac's loose tongue and short temper. Getting information from him when he was provoked was particularly easy.

That was how I learnt some hard truths and realized some facts by myself.

If I despised Jerk before, then my feelings for him are now beyond despise and beyond describable. I hoped his silence and passive approach from his side during past few months would make me hate him a little less but when I realized and knew of things what he did stealthily, I give up on my hope.

Pacing around in the room, I felt like the random puzzles and unanswered doubts in my mind now have a path to link them. If I could manage to know more about Jerk and his kingdom, maybe I can even leave this place with my son even without anyone's help.

"So, there was this man who was the previous king of the Unified race and Jerk's father. He did something with ill-intentions with the help and support of Lord Vizac which brought a curse upon the whole kingdom even though it was divided. Now, Lord Vizac is looking for the place where the previous king was imprisoned so they can reunite and do something very back unnatural and unlawful again." I jotted down what I managed to understand from the recent trashing with Lord Vizac.

Let's see now;

Jerk was the true King to the throne and is known as the ruler who abides the natural laws like a mantra. Even though his attitude and character is shitty, he is indeed popular for his unwavering principles when it comes to following the laws.

Although they said I was the person to break the curse, I slowly understood that the birth of Igses was also a part of breaking the curse completely off from Jerk and his people.

Jerk's father is the previous king who did something bad out of his own greed which resulted in evolution of a new kind among them and the division of the territory. I don't know what and how he did it, but whatever he did created shadow spirits and made them too powerful.

Right now, Jerk has his evil father imprisoned somewhere and Lord Vizac for some reason thinks I know where it is. It's not like I was treated well and was informed of everything that I should know about those things. Good thing I had my wits and guard up that I made Vizac think that his creator was imprisoned somewhere in his territory. He believes it or not, I will gain from it. I will not have to deal with him for some time.

For Lord Vizac to know about me and activities in Jerk's kingdom, he certainly has his spies well planted inside. Then the same goes with Jerk as well. If Vizac can have his spies there, Jerk too can have better network here. In that case, it will not take much time for the recent happenings to reach his ears.

I feel, I know he is here in Shadow spirits territory.

Why wouldn't he when he deliberately –

"Lady Dawn! Milady." I heard Lerno's voice from outside as he knocked the door. Since I asked Dynoh to not stay around unless asked for, I was left with no helper and chaperone.

With a glance towards Igses who was enjoying the thrill of turning and trying to crawl, I went to open the door assured. A few feet away from the door, he stood in distance with his usual grimace and cold attitude.

Addressing me as Lady respectfully was only for a namesake.

"What's the matter?" I asked at the door as I have no intentions of letting him inside.

"There was a cloth trader in the city. The head maidservant said you have no proper clothes so she has invited him to the receiving room for you. Please proceed to select a few and the seamstress shall stitch them for you."

You did not really give me a chance to pack my bag for my unexpected visitations.

I nodded and went back to where Igses was playing. Picking him up, I wordlessly followed him to the said receiving hall.

Two men in their early thirties were waiting for me with huge packages of clothing rolls. The head maidservant of the palace, whose name I don't know but who was always very cold to me, was also there.

Although coldly, she gave me a curt bow and led me to the sofa and the two men gave me a deep bow.

"We have all the newest work and embroidery with smoothest and rich cloth, Milady. They will look good on you." The one who seems to be the main trader spoke flatteringly.

From the bag, he pulled out few rolls of cloths of different colors and designs. "Look at this, Milady. The color, cloth and embroidery, all fit to be worn by a royal lady like you. This will go well on you." He brought a pale yellow cloth with pearl embroidery on it.

A dress made of it will indeed look great. I checked other colors and designs too and after a few minutes, I cleared my throat repeatedly and finally asked the head maidservant to get me something to drink.

She ran the small bell to call the maids but I stopped her, "Didn't the Lord ask you to serve me yourself and not to entrust my food on other maids. Go and get it for me while I look at the other fabrics and buy a few." She hesitated for a minute before she walked away to get the drink.

I don't know why she is so worried when she knows I cannot run away and even if I did, I will get caught before I cross the palace gates.

The trader and his assistant continued to bring out fabric after fabric from which I chose a few for Igses and a few for me. There was still another bag to show me and they said the fabric was for simple and humble clothing, not suited for a royalty like me.

I openly scoffed at what he said and glared down at them with infinite hatred.

"You sure know how to make entrance. What are you here for now?" I intentionally lowered my voice and looked around to make sure there was no one around.

"Not bad. You still remember this disguise of mine and sent away the maid. Clever, as always." Jerk spoke in his previous disguise before I was kidnapped.

I looked at the second person and raised a brow at him, "This can't be Azar. Who is he?"

"The chief of my spies." He answered briefly with a smirk. "You did great in misleading him about my father's whereabouts."

The muscles in my face froze and a deep profound hatred gushed out of me. So much hate that my eyes nearly went moist.

"Not as great as you. To use me and my son and help your enemy capture us just so you can have a clear way for your revenge, my greatness cannot be compared to you."

I thought this man has no heart but now I don't know what else I should make of him.

Hello Sweeties,

Next chapter is here. Enjoy!

What do you think about the chapter? Boring?

Acacia knew Tzalmon did it purposely and her hatred for him increased several folds.

What do you think about Acacia's analysis on the situation?

Will she ever be able to leave the place or at least, will she able to find one such reliable person in the whole mystical realm?

Tzalmon did wrong for deliberately letting Zyl Vizac capture Acacia and Igses.

For his motives, to put the duo in risk, he shattered my hopes too.

Please shower me with votes and comments.

Share my books with your friends.

Lots of Love

Lady Prim**
