ALORA EMBRY
"Leah I will go now."
"My Lady be careful!"
"Yes, Bye."
"Goodbye." she bows her head and waves her small hand. After a month finally, Father sent a letter but it was for me to go to the borders to lead the subjugation. And I already throw the shitty feeling I feel back then.
When I arrived at the Manor the twins welcomed me. They said that father and mother are also going to Levan while Ellen and Brother Kio visit Altres, Ellen's family lived there. And after they visit Altres brother will follow our parents.
"I'm surprised that everyone was not here, I will leave the manor to you two Kieran, Kiefer. If something happens Arlene used the scroll and find me at the border."
"Yes, My Lady."
"I want you two to behave. Is it clear?"
"Yes, Sister."
"I will bring the third command and the rest of the knights will stay here. If we still didn't come back after three days, the second command go to the border."
"Yes, My Lady!"
"Let's go!" we traveled for hours until we reach the border. I used my fire to make a fire bow and arrow and we hunt the magical beasts and go deeper into the forest.
"The knights that will help to the subjugation are sure late." Said the Commander of Third Command. I look at him and raised my eyebrows.
"Imperial knights help Brother Kaden and Brother Kio in hunting here?"
"Sometimes your brothers didn't allow anyone to join the subjugation, and It's not from the Imperial Family who help it was the knights from Eyron's. They do burn the magical beast while we go straight to the duchy."
"Oh, I didn't know that."
"My Lady will you be okay, you're using the fire bow for hours. You will easily get exhausted if you continue using your magic."
"Don't mind me, I will be okay." then we reach the black spiders' nest, they're a bunch of big poisonous spiders. I used my arrow to burn the nest and their food and after that, they came out. Then Knights from the House of Eyron arrived.
"Glad we are on the right track."
They help us kill the big spiders and after a minute when they're all dead I face the knights from Eyron.
"I greet the beautiful Lady from the House of Astley, I'm the first son of Lorenzo Eyron, Leo Eyron."
"Nice to meet you, Sir Leo, I'm Alora Astley."
"I apologize for we are late."
"It's okay everything's fine, no one's hurt."
"Let's go to the deeper part then?" I nod and we continue traveling.
"The lady is beautiful yet she still hasn't made a public appearance." I look at Leo and shrug.
"There is time for that, plus I do not like crowds it's kinda tiring being surrounded." By idiots. He chuckled and look at the fire bow in my hand.
"I see you can also make your fire into a weapon."
"But it'll tire you. I can say my brothers are monsters because it looks like exhaustion was nothing to them."
"yeah, Haha. I forgot to ask why the Lady is here and not Kaden or Kio?"
"They're busy that's why I'm here hunting these magical beasts in this dark and creepy forest." I shoot a werewolf and sigh.
"The lady's skills in archery are quite good I bet you're also good at wielding the sword." I raised my eyebrows, he was surprisingly chatty, eh?
"Thank you, Sir Leo, but I still have a long way to go compared to my brothers." We got silent after that and then decided to stop to eat and rest. I climb to the tree the forest is sure vast.
"Did you see something?" Leo asked me when I get down from the tree.
"Nothing just trees."
"Then get some rest, My Lady, we will guard for tonight."
"Okay."
We successfully clear the half of the forest and peacefully parted ways with the first son of Lorenzo. I stayed at the manor for a week so I can relax. When I get back to the academy I was back to my normal routine.
I heard that the Imperial Palace is holding a banquet for the Emperor's Birthday. The students that were invited are excited, the Astley's representative is Brother Kio, and Ellen because my father is still on Levan together with Brother Kaden and Damien.
Just what are they doing there?
"My Lady everyone is already leaving why aren't you changing?"
"I'm not invited, Leah."
"The Crown Prince didn't invite you?"
"Yeah, it's better so I can sleep early." I yawned and combed my hair.
"Did the Crown Prince purposely do it because Miss Leticia was also invited... so you two won't see each other." that damn Leticia.
"Maybe. Leah, say do you wish to go to the palace?"
"When I was young because my mother used to work there." I nod and look outside. "But, I was already fine here in the academy, everyone was treating us right, we have a high salary and every four weeks we can go back home." I nod and continue drinking my tea.
"Oh, it's already late you better go now. Have good rest."
"Yes, Good Night My Lady."
"Good night, Leah." While I was drinking tea I read books. I fell asleep while reading and was awakened when someone knocked at my door. "Who is it?" no one answered and when I opened it, it revealed Damien?
Is he for real?
