Chapter 64
The Beginning (Part 8)
The Thief (Part A):
Nilela released his hold on Flower and shifted back, going to stand next to his mother.
"What did you say to her?" Daisy asked, staring at her son.
"Nothing mother, I just told her I will give her son something more worth than this chain," Nilela said.
"And what could be more precious than the chain son?" Daisy asked.
"A secret project I am working on, mother, he will like the gift when I show it to him."
"You heard him Flower, let your son be patient for a while, it seems that Nilela and his chain are inseparable." Flower told her twin.
Forcing herself to smile as she cleaned her eyes, "Alright, I will wait. Do you still want to eat? I can ask the maid to prepare something quickly for you."
"No she can't wait, I came to fetch her, Micheal is waiting for her and needs her attention urgently. I will try to pay my kingdom a visit soon, bye for now," he said, grabbing hold of one of Daisy's hands and leading them out of the dining room, and outside the palace.
Without saying a word to each other, their wings sprouted out from their back and they flew towards the sky.

"I hate it when he intervenes, I could have had Daisy the same way I had our mother," Flower said, watching the chicken on the ground.
"I am not concerned about the chicken mother, I am more concerned about the chain. I don't need any other gift apart from the chain."
"He knows my technique, but don't worry son, I will use Daisy to get the chain from him."
"Didn't you hear when your sister said Nilela and the chain are inseparable? I know Nilela type anywhere, you have to earn his trust first and that's what I am going to do."
"Okay, but we have an important issue at hand, we need to catch the Thief who has been stealing the royal money in the palace." Flower told her son.
"Mother, I have set a trap for the thief and he won't escape this time when he comes to steal again."
"Better, I am going to visit my friend Elfey. She hasn't been herself after she got married to her mate, they have been trying to have a child but none is forthcoming," Flower said, feeling a little bit sad for her friend, "Make sure you don't eat that chicken." she added pointing at the chicken on the ground.
"I know."
She left without another word.

Angel Kingdom:
Entering the throne room only to meet it empty with no sight of Micheal.
"I used Micheal as an excuse to get you out of their mother," Nilela said behind her, "I don't like the way your sister is manipulating you with her tears. Seriously speaking, I am surprised you are falling for that act."
Facing him, "Nilela, she is my sister, my twin."
"That chicken was poisoned you know,"
"Flower won't hurt me, son, I know you hate her but stop lying against her."
Nilela nodded his head as if he knew what her answer would be, "She won't give back the throne of Nilela willingly, that's why she wants to kill you, I wouldn't be surprised if she was the one who had killed my grandparents." Daisy had told him about the sudden death of his grandparents, cutting off Galore from it. She didn't want him to know of his father, ever.
"Stop it Nilela, I didn't raise you to hate anyone. If she is truly as evil as you said why hasn't the Creator punished her yet, or sent Micheal to kill her?"
"That was exactly the question on my mind since mother, but I realize that the Creator is giving her time."
"Time? To do what?"
"To change, to turn from her wicked ways that's the only reason I could think of."
"You are wrong Nilela, my sister is a good person."
"Only time will tell mother,"
"What project are you working on?" Daisy asked, changing the topic.
"It's better I show you," he said with a smile, "Follow me mother," he added, leaving the throne room and heading towards his room. He entered his room and headed towards his wardrobe.
The first thing Daisy noticed was Nilela clothes on his bed.
"You do know that you have a wardrobe where you can put your clothes in, right?"
"I know but my wardrobe is occupied right now," Nilela said sheepishly and opened his wardrobe.
At first Daisy didn't see anything out of ordinary but a loud yawn from something drew her attention down to the bottom of the wardrobe, where she saw six little creatures staring at her.
"Mother, this is what I am working on," Nilela said besides her and pointed at the two identical wolf creatures with white furs and wings, "This is Ice Fang and his twin brother, Ice Frost," he introduced them and proceeded to point at the Lion which fur was burning, "And this is Fire," he then pointed at the one made of winds, only that his head was that of a leopard, "And this is Windy," he pointed at the fifth creature, a full werewolf with five tails, "This is Zelda," and he pointed at the last one, a fox with replica of Nilela eyes and fur as bright as Nilela eyes color. His tail was more than five, "And finally, the strongest amongst them all and the King, like me, is Rainbow, and I call all together, 'The Nilela's."
