As soon as they pushed the door open, they were surprised at who they saw standing inside.
It was the royal mage of Brittia Albert, he was seriously looking and smiling at Kathy.
" Welcome back my Queen!" Albert said bowing.
Kathy was taken aback, "why would he refer to me as the Queen when he hasn't seen me before and even if he has seen me in the past, am all grown up now with different features, how did he recognize me?" Kathy asked herself.
" How did you know we were coming and, why are you referring to her as Queen!, I thought Lish is your Queen? " Anthony asked.
" Oh, first of all, you don't need to be scared of me, and you all must have seen me with Queen Lish and the person she everyone in Brittia refers to as Royal mage, and am on your side I will explain everything to you all but first you must come inside! " Albert replied.
" How do we know you are telling the truth and not planning on something? " Anthony asked.
Before Albert could reply, Jake was already moving inside the room.
" Let's hear what he has to say! and don't worry he won't be able to harm us! " Jake said easing his friends, the only reason Jake was calmed was that his system told him Albert is alone and he won't harm them, and also Jake using his Bashir skill to slow down time and scan the room and Albert behavior.
Kathy, Amy, and Patrick then followed Jake inside with Anthony been the last. He was just staring at Albert with a suspicious look.
When they all entered, Albert closed the doors and sat down on a seat next to the bed in the room.
"Speak!" Jake commanded Albert
" Am sorry my Queen for not revealing myself for years now, I was assigned to protect you till you come of age and also to follow Lish as the royal mage, at first I didn't want to follow her, but your parents convinced me to, they said it was the only way to keep you safe and also to know all Lish plans will be."
" Lish wasn't the one who killed your parents, but your father's brother who poisoned them, when Lish found out about it she was so angry that she asked assassins to capture him and behead him since then she has been more cold-hearted and doesn't care for anyone or anything except growing in powers. "
" She didn't kill your parents doesn't mean she won't kill you she hates you and what increased the hate was because you were the chosen and only one who can use the Arch Angel bow, am not on Lish side, I was just following the orders of your parents, I also try to change her, but her heart is strong as strong that if I talk too much she will have me beheaded! I have been waiting for you all these years to come back and take back your throne now you are here and Brittia will be free from all its troubles! " Albert concluded his story and Kathy got up.
" I have been blaming Lish all this year's do killing our parents but I didn't know it wasn't her but our uncle, I feel so sorry for her, she must have been through so much, running this kingdom even though she hates me! " Kathy said with teary eyes.
" My Queen that's not my point, we are running out of time and Lish must also be looking for me we need to go to where the Arch Angel bow is quickly and you need to activate it to be able to take back Brittia! if the people see you have the white harpy wings and also can touch and handle the Arch Angel then they will know you are the true Queen."
" It's located inside your father's library at the far end of the library, am so glad you are back!" Albert concluded smiling more.
" Wait! I have a question how did you know we were coming and also looking for the Arch Angel?" Patrick asked.
" I have been waiting and counting the day Kathy will turn 18, how I knew she was in Brittia was through the spy Queen Lish sent to your Kingdom, on her 18th birthday, I sent my spies to your kingdom to confirm it was her and since then I began watching your moves," Albert said.
No questions were asked and they all stood up and started walking towards Kathy's father's library in search of the Arch Angel bow.
They went straight towards the end of the library, but they didn't see the Bow or the arrows the place where it was supposed to be was filled with books.
" System please scan the area where the Arch Angel bow was said to be, I have a feeling something is here and something is blocking us from viewing it!" Jake said to the system.
[ System replying host...The Arch Angel bow is still in its place but is guarded by a barrier to stop anyone seeing it].
" My hunch was right!" Jake said to himself.
" The Arch Angel bow is here, it's just guarded by a barrier, a barrier that stops someone from viewing inside it!" Jake said to everyone and before they could download what Jake just said and how he knew, he has already deactivated the barrier leaving everyone stunned.
" Wow, I heard that you were talented but not this much, how did you know a barrier was there and how did you deactivate it?" Albert asked.
" That's not important for now, what's important is Kathy ascending the throne and fast!" Jake replied and Albert shut his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.
