Chapter 84: His plan

WALLACE GREENE P.O.V
I look around, Jillian suddenly disappeared. I stop running and look at Xavier. They notice that something is wrong. Maybe its about Amaro and Glaiza. Cynthia look at me and nodded.
"Let's follow her."-I said to him.
"Rojun, stay here. Owen come with us."-he said. He nodded and we went off. I saw Glaiza attacking them. She had never change. She's even willing to kill her own daughter for her own selfishness.
"Jillian!"-Xavier. She look on us. When she saw me, I raise my hand and start to make her asleep.
"You're alive Wallace."-she mumbled. When she fall down. I went to her. I erase her memories upon seeing me. Her mind is protected by a strong barrier but its easy for me to manipulate her memories.
"You are alive. The man whom I believe to be my father."-Gladys, I stood up. I snap my finger and send Glaiza back to her castle. I look at her.
"Yes. Your mother tried to kill me because she can't accept her defeat. She wants me dead instead of seeing me happy with Cendrea."-I said.
"I don't know why mother turns to be a monster that everyone feared for. She even choose to kill me because she can't accept the fact that I don't want to be her puppet anymore. This is unfair."-she said.
"It's okay, my daughter. You can choose your life from now on. I will make sure of that."-Amaro.
"Your father is right, Gladys. From now on. Decide on your own."-Xavier. She shed her tears.
"Yes uncle. From now on, I will never be my mother's puppet. But I still wish that one day, mother will repent on her sins and make a new start. I will be the first one to be happy if she will."
"I hope that will happen, my niece. But that will be her choice. Thanks for coming everyone."-Jillian.
"You shouldn't leave like that on your own."-Xavier. That made me chuckle. Things is still the same.
"You are still the same, Xavier."-Owen.
"What? Is it wrong to scold your own wife?"-he said.
"Should we go back in the Skyfall?"-Owen.
"Let me come with you, I wanted to talk tp princess Cynthia."-Gladys. Jillian smiled.
"Of course. Let's go then."-she said. We teleported ourselves back to their castle. Cynthia look at Gladys. She smiled and offer a cake to her.
"Welcome to Skyfall, princess Gladys."
"Greetings to the queen Luna of Skyfall—uhm!"
She put the cake in her mouth and chuckled.
"Too formal. Feel at ease, princess Gladys. We're not enemies, aren't we?"-she said. That made me smile.
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN P.O.V
She look at me and tears fall in her cheeks. She uses her palm to shed them away. She is cute because she is a crybaby. Unlike the first time we've meet. She is is like a puppet.
"I'm sorry for everything. I am sorry because my mother tried to kill your mother and father. I am sorry because mother is now targeting you. I am sorry because the Maximillian's suffers because of my mother. I'm sorry..."-she said while crying. I look at Ezeron and Ezrene. I wanted to hear them out because they indeed suffer under Glaiza's wrath.
"My brother told me the things you have done to him while he is held captive by your mother. It's not your fault if your mother is sinister. If you really wish to be forgiven, promise me that you will never walk the same path as hers."-Ezrene.
"I do feel the same. I knew you are trying to help me by postponing my executions and sending me food secretly. I owe you my life, princess Gladys."
"I just...thank you."-she said. I smiled.
"I always believe that the sin of the elders shouldn't be pass down on their children. Each of us have the capabilities to make choices, Gladys. You are not your mother. Someone told me that."-I said and look at Ulysses. He smiled. I look at her again.
"Just do what is right and what makes you happy, that is my wish for you, Princess of Magus."
"Uhm. I will. Thank you everyone."-she said.
"I better prepare two more cup then."-aunt Miranda.
"Thank you, Cynthia."-aunt Jillian. I just smile sincerely. I shouldn't let my heart be covered with hatred and anger. I have a family that I wanted to protect. We are getting bigger now, I will make sure to protect those precious smile.
"What are you thinking, hmm?"-he ask.
"Nothing. I just made a promise that I will protect the warm smile of everyone."-I said.
"We will protect each others smile, Cynthia. You can count on us, remember?"-he said.
"Uhm, I know that. Don't try to make decisions without consulting us, okay?"-he said. He is pointing his finger on me. I chuckled. I lick his finger and that made him blush. I held his cheeks and look at him.
"Thank you, I knew that you are worried that I will be reckless again. But I have you, remember? You can stop me whenever I'll be stupid again. So its okay, I can be silly as much as I wanted, right?"
"Tss. Now you are using me as an excuse. My goodness."-he said. I chuckled.
"Hey! You two, we are here!"-Marko. He chuckled.
"What? We are not doing anything!"-he said.
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS P.O.V
I knew that Cynthia is trying to hide something. But I knew that she is no longer the same woman that I knew 12 days ago. I can sense that something is changed and I don't want to pry anymore. I want her to open up with me on her own.
"I knew you are worried about something,"-Yael said. The other boys also came and stand beside me. They must have notice that I am bothered by something. I sighed and drink the tea in my hand.
"I knew that you guys notice the changes in Cynthia. She is still the happy and funny woman but...I find it odd. I feel like she is hiding something from me. Maybe because I can sense it due to my mark ship."
"I also notice that. Even your son, I can tell that he is also different on some odd ways."-Vincent.
"Maybe because Eugene is half breed. But I also notice his naughty side. Pricilla said that you are like him on your youthful days."-Marko.
"No matter what they are hiding from us. I knew we can trust them. Let's just wait and see, isn't it?"-Yael.
"She became more powerful. Something that witches can sense to their own kinds. We can sense the superiority."-Evan. He stop walking and drink his tea. We look at them. Eugene is playing with Wendell. He is enjoying his fur.
"I see. She must have train a lot in the interspace where she raise Eugene on her own."-I said.
"Maybe, but I can tell that her rage is not stable. She is trying to hide that to everyone. But maybe because I still have the blood of the pureblood witch clan, I sense that."-Evan. We stop drinking.
"Did she get reborn again?"-Marko.
"Nope. But maybe because her anger when she learn that her so-called father killed Ulysses parents, her wrath became unstable."-Evan.
"Thanks, Evan. For telling me about it."
"No problem. Cynthia and I have the same rocky path. I want her to be happy as much as I do. She deserve it. All of us."-he added.
"His father is a powerful witch himself, right?"
"That's true, Vincent. He might not be a pureblood but he is intelligent and that made him powerful."
"I wish Cendrea is alive."-I suddenly mumbled. We all smile bitterly. We all have experienced her warmth and while she is in pain herself. She made us realize the importance of atoning our sins without ending our lives.
"She will surely be happy to see that her visions were all true. That her daughter's tragedy are now ended."-Vincent. Yasmin wave on us.
"Hey! Lunch is ready!"-she said.
"Okay!"-we said. We went to them and start eating our lunch. While eating, I remember Estella. She left the kingdom and I knew she'll come back one of these days. I have to be ready by that time. I knew she is eager to control me again. Her love for me became her obsession. I have to make sure she won't hurt Cynthia or any of my family."
"Ulysses? Are you okay?"-Pricilla.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, I am."-I said. They look at me in suspicion but we all continue to eat.
"Bambi, control eating the meat. You have to eat more vegetables."-Rojun.
"Meat is delicious."-she said. He sighed.
"I can't believe you said that. You're a panda. You're suppose to eat plants."-Rojun. Jillian laugh.
"It's cute to watch my son and his apprentice being like this. But let the kid eat what she want."
"Not even you mother."-he said. Cynthia laugh.
"I really love my family."-she said.
"We love you too."-we said and eat. That made her smile the sweetest. It is melting our heart. She always shows her love to us and we learn to do that because of her. Everything has change since I save her in Dawn castle. Her father speak.
"What is your plan in Dawn kingdom?"-he ask. Her face became serious and smile after.
"Simple, I am taking the throne away. I won't let that evil king to run that kingdom and make the refugees suffer. Mother save them and give them new lives, I won't let him do what he wants."
"I am happy to hear that. That's what I feel after I watch the whole kingdom after your mother suffer in his hands. As I watch you have a tragic life that you didn't deserve. Good thing that Clara stays loyal to Cendrea unlike that servant named Vera."
"But before that, I wanted to focus on my entrapment plan against the moonacres and Brenda."-she said. We all stayed silent.
"Mother, leave the moonacres to us. You should face Brenda and make sure she won't distorted the time."-Eugene. I saw that my son is serious.
"Okay. I knew you and everyone can do it. Let's all make sure to play the game fairly and distributed. We will never let them win."-Cynthia.
"Leave the moonacres to us. Just do what you need to do. Don't dare to die on us and be reborn. I will hate you if you do."-I said. She nod.
"I promise, I will protect myself."-she said.
"We have to know how many cards did the enemy had. What if let's start on the slaying council?"-Yael.
"Owen and I will do that."-her father.
"The question is, how far they have done?"-Owen.
