Chapter 60 That voice again?
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV
He smiled and I ask them to stay for the night. Dinner has been serve and everyone must be in there bed now. I drink some milk that Yasmin made for me. Then all of a sudden I heard the cute and subtle voice again.
"Mother…mother…"
"Huh? Is this a haunted room?"-I mumbled.
"What? This room? How can it be haunted?"
I saw him sitting on the porch at the balcony as his eyes are in yellow. I sighed. I sat down on the couch.
"I don t know. I keep on hearing someone calling his mother. I don t get it either."-I said.
"Mother? There is no child who sleeps in this room. You can even perform a spell to prove my words."
"Why did I forgot about that? Not a bad idea eventually."-I said. I bite my finger and blood drop on the floor. I started recollecting the memories of this room has. I cough. Oh my goodness.
"What? And you made a mess."-he said.
"Yes. This not a haunted house. And there is no kids who stayed here. Most of the time, this room is being used for guest and…forget about it. Tell me, werewolves are indeed active."-I said.
"Active? What kind of active? We hibernate if needed but eventually we are lazy on some occasions. Why did you say that?"-he ask.
"I mean active on that. Sex."-I said. He laugh.
"You can sleep in room. If you find this place weird then let s sleep together. What do you think?"
"In your room? What are you thinking, hmm?"
"That s a bonus but I m serious. You should sleep with me in the same room."-he said.
"Ulysses, what if I changed my mind? What if I am not ready? I mean to be a wife or even had a children? What if I am just worried that you won t love me anymore if I won t agree to your—"
"Okay. It s your body. Your own rules. You want to be a mother by how many? It s your choice. But I really hope that you will be my wife and not as my marked mate. It s just a suggestion. You can take it or just leave it. Good night, Maximillian."-he said. He kiss me in my forehead. I speak.
"I ll just bring my pillow."-I said. He smiled.
"I ll wait."-he said. I took the pillow and held his hand. I look at him with all the sincerity and love that I have for him. I caress his cheeks.
"I love you, Ulysses Alexanders."-I said.
"What s with that random words?"-he said. I laugh. He even blushes which is I find it cute.
"I love you more, you silly."-he said. I smiled.
ESTELLA HOLSEN POV
I look at the ceiling and tried to sleep. I can sense that Pricilla is trying to investigate about me. She must be trying to know what really happen 7 years ago. If only kinship can be changed like identity…
"Mother what am I doing here? I don t want it here. This is a scary mountain."-I said. For a 12 year old kid who went to the mythical mountains, no matter what kind of race you may, this place is still scary.
"I will leave you here alone. Now, if you want me to favor you, you have to be strong Estella. I don t need a daughter that is a crybaby."-she said. Mother s eyes seems serious and she disappeared. I started crying as I heard weird noises.
A giant snake is coming! I ran as fast as I could. But the giant snake is faster. I saw a cave and enters. I use my power to make a barrier so that the snake won t come in. I started crying and tremble. I can t believe this is happening at this moment. Mother just left me here. She didn t love like I knew.
"Mother…mother…"-I said. Until I feel asleep. When I woke up, I am already hungry. I went out finding trees with fruits. I need to survive here. When I saw an apple tree, I climb it up and eat its fruit. But suddenly the tree is being rock and I feel down the ground. Giant bears?! I step back. They re about to grab me but I shouted loudly.
"Don t eat meeee!"-I said. Then I feel that surge of magic that comes out on me. I only saw their bones. Their body is melting. I think they re being poisoned or a type of acid that melts them.
"Is that from me…?"-I mumbled. I stayed in this mountain for months while trying to find my way home. I fought different beast from each mountain.
I open the door and mother seems to know that I will be coming home. I just look at her emotionless.
"Mother."-I just said. She just smirk.
I slowly open my eyes and smiled bitterly. That day, I still remember how ruthless my mother is. When she get married again, I saw how she pampered her daughter who is just a half-half more than me. Which made me feel bad. No matter what I do, she will never love me like what she is doing to my little sister. She will never ne contented.
"Thinking like hell, hmm?"-Ulysses. I smiled and run to him. We hug each other. He had food in him.
"Let s have a midnight snack. I can t sleep that s why I visited you. I m sorry for not visiting these days. Pricilla seems to take revenge by giving me piles of papers."-he said. I smiled and we sit.
"That s why I hated her. She always try to make you busy so you can t visit me."-I said. We started eating.
JILLIAN MILLS POV
Salvador seems to be expecting my audience in slaying council. I threw to his desk the papers I got from the claims of Skyfall against them.
"Oh, the scared cats still seeks the help of the useless council."-he said. He is arrogant as always.
"You know what makes me think that you are going to far, Salvador? It s because you only prove that the slaying council are the ones responsible with the deaths or missing beings across every regions. It makes me think how…stupid you might be."
"What did you just said, Jillian?!"
"Don t get mad. You are just a kid, Salvador. A kid that is ambitious and impulsive. Don t get ahead of yourself. Not all you cards will works. Sometimes those who play a game without trump cards wins the game. I am telling you, there are chances that even your cards are just…nothing."
"Are you trying to threaten me or what?"
"Maybe both? Threaten you and warn you? The treaty council won t just sit and watch you, king Daniel and even my cousin into your foolish vengeance slash idiotic actions against the places who seeks for a peaceful lives onwards."
"No one can stop me in raising a head war against that foolish and evil kingdom, Jillian. Even you."
"Evil kingdom? Skyfall? Oh, no, no. Don t make me laugh. This region of yours reeks in blood. I think your region is the one that is evil. A friendly reminder Salvador, don t start a game when you already lost on your first moves."
"What?"-he said. I smirk and leave his office. My husband and my son is sitting on the couch.
"So how is it?"-Xavier. I sighed and sit.
"Just like what I expected. He s proud of it."
"Mother, father, I am planning to visit Skyfall."
"Okay. Just make sure you won t create any problems, Rojun."-I said. He smiled and nodded.
"Yes mother. Princess Cynthia just ask me to train the demi being that she transformed. It s a panda."
"She must have trained well because she can finally cast a spell like that."-I said. He nodded and smile.
"She even do that to a giant tiger they took from mythical mountain. But she said, she just accidentally do it."-he said. I laugh.
"Well, she pretty did it well for an accident casting of spells. I should pay them a visit also."
"Why don t we go there together some other time?"
"You re right hon. Let s go there some other time."
I stood up and wear my glasses. These glasses makes me read the papers faster.
"I better go back to work."-I said.
YASMIN EDROS POV
"Can I talk to Yael?"-I ask. Today is our wedding ceremony. But later at night, of course.
"Yes? What is it Yasmin?"-he ask. I stood beside him.
"After our wedding, I will do the assignment that Cynthia given to us. I will bring Ildrich and Chenqian with me."-I said. He sighed and look at me.
"Take care of yourself in that place. That is a dangerous place. Especially that the slaying council raise a war flag against Skyfall."-he said.
"Don t worry, I knew Cynthia will give us some protection or talisman that will be helpful."
"Okay. If that s what is wanted. I will investigate things here also. Promise me that guys will leave that place as soon as dangers arrive, okay?"-he said.
"Yes. I will."-I said. He smiled and pet me.
When we arrive at the Skyfall castle, the place is full of floating candles and it smells like flowers. Yael and my clothes changed all of a sudden. I am wearing a beautiful white ball gown dress. I also have veil with butterfly embroideries. The ground had a red carpet and when we look on the right side, Rachel and king Nathan had the same experience. Then flower petals starts to fall alongside with snow. Then our hands suddenly hold a bouquet with our favorite flowers. What I have is tulips and Rachel had a lavender flowers with her. I smiled. We are now standing in front of king Ulysses and Cynthia.
"They re lovely ladies right, my king?"
"They re supernatural beings. They are born to be beautiful."-king Ulysses. She smack him.
"Hey, I am complimenting them, just ride on it."
"Is that so? Okay, okay…It s my fault. They are."
"Let s start then."-she said. A birds brings us a beautiful rings that I can tell she made it for us.
"Wear this as a sign of my love and loyalty. Let s conquer this world together and live in harmony. I love you."-both men said it. They put the rings in our hand. We took their rings in the box.
"Wear this ring as a sign of my love and loyalty. I will always be by your side and be a wife that will understand and take care of our home. I love you."
After Rachel and I said that, we put on their wedding ring. They take off our veil and look on us.
"You may now—should I announce that?"
"Maybe no? They can kiss later in their wedding bed. I mean, for that hot steamy night."-she said.
"Hey!"-we said. They all laugh. This naughty couple.
"Okay. Just kidding. You may now kiss your brides."
They kiss us both and the party started. We eat and drink there and here until morning night arrives.
"Wait, did we forget something?"-Rachel. We stop.
