"Felix, hurry up with the magic tools. Cody and Nathan, you should organise our knights into every town in the kingdom and arrests any suspicious person. We are done for today" he says adjoining the meeting. They bowed to him in submission. "What do we do about the elders, your highness?" Duke Alpheus asks as Prince Ellian stands to leave. "That's for another day", he says and rushes out with Nathan following closely.
Outside the room stands a lady with clear blue eyes and petite body with a beauty that moves heads including that of the Prince. She stands looking frail and miserable with tears in her eyes. Once Prince saw this, his eyes grew cold as he rushes her in his arms where she sobs loudly. Prince Ellian comforts her quietly as they leave from there. Nathan follows.
Felix snorts feeling nauseous as he looks at them from the room. Duke Alpheus looks at him with warning in his eyes. "What? I haven't done anything ", he says with an innocent smile. "Don't you find her strange" , he continues.
Duke Alpheus looks at him strangely, "No, but I find you a dead meat. You know she's the prince's fiancee and that makes her our future queen right? So you should give respect to her if you don't the prince to behead you on the spot"
Felix gulps holding his neck nervously as if he remembered something, "It's not that I don't know that, but, I find her strange, I just can't my fingers around it. Don't you find it strange that she suddenly appeared out of nowhere and since she came too a number of people had died just because if her. Also her eyes.... it looks like a fa..."enough Felix", Duke Alpheus cuts him before he could add anything more. "If you don't appreciate your life, I want mine and I have my wife and daughter to go back to so don't implicate me. Ellian maybe our friend from childhood but he doesn't joke around with Lady Phyllis, so keep mute", he stands after saying that and leaves the room.
Felix turns to Cody who gives a cold and death look in return. "Argh..you guys are no fun", he says leaving the room. Prince Ellian took lady Phyllis to a study assigned for him and sat her on the sofa patting her to comfort her. After a while she stops crying and lowers her head embarrassed with her behaviour. Ellian gently held her cheeks making her look at him. "Who bullied you?", she shakes her head, her long blonde hair swaying from right to let adorably. Ellian softens his tone, "You do not have to be sad. Just tell me those who bullied you and I will punish then immediately." Phyllis shakes her head again, "N..no, that's not the case", she says with a soft voice. "It's just that...I...I was eavesdropping on... your conversation", she lowers her head again.
Ellian laughs gently and pats her head. "You are cute. I don't mind you listening to us discussing since you will be our future queen." Phyllis with a blush face looks at Ellian,"But..I'm just a commoner", she says sadly. "You shouldn't worry about that. I'm the crown prince to be king. Who will stop me from marrying you", she smiles. "Thank you. But I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about the people of the kingdom. It's my fault that all this happened", she says as a lone tear fell from her eyes. "If it wasn't for me, the Beastian king wouldn't have taken me, all this wouldn't have happened",
Prince Ellian hugs her tightly, "I didn't know you blamed yourself" he kissed her forehead. "It's not your fault, so don't blame yourself okay. I hate to see your tears so don't cry okay." He says softly. She nods and hugs her again. There she gives a strange smile that Ellian couldn't see.

Falle follows the cat to a lake right outside the forest where she collapsed from exhaustion. The cat jumps into the water and moves its paws to swim. Falle looks at the cat with her mouth agape (Do cats swim where I came from), she thinks to herself as the cat emerge from the water and quivered violently shaking off the water droplets.
To her horror the cat turns to a girl about fourteen white hair falling on her shoulders with bright green eyes, she stretches and yawn, "how I've been waiting for this day to return to my beautiful self." She looks at herself in th lake before she turns and sees Falle looking at her like a ghost. She looks at her embarrassed as she curtsy to Falle, "I apologise for my unkempt behaviour just now. Oh and also for licking your palms, it's just you were unconscious and I didn't have anything except to lick you to wake up", she says with blushed cheeks.
This brings Falle back to present as she looks at the girl up and down,"who are you", she says taking a step back "I'm Jedi, assistant magic consultant for the great sorcerer, Felix Roban. I'm also a shape-shifting as you've just seen." (Felix Roban? That name sound familiar. Is it a name for a celebrity or movie star. Wait what? A shapeshifter) "you are a shapeshifter?" She asks shock. Jedi nods. "Where is this place?" She asks Jedi trying to understand. "This is Romania.That forest is eternity forest. How did you get in there? Because not anyone can enter there", she asks curiously.
Falle shakes her head equally confuse, "I don't know anything. I was in my home and the next thing im here and it's only this device that made me appear here ", she stretches her right hand that had the device to show to Jedi. Jedi looks in her palm then her face in confuse. "Erm...there's nothing in your palm" , she says. Falle looks in her palm and sees the device, she raises her hands higher for Jedi to check but Jedi shakes her head. "You don't see this?" Jedi nods.
She looks in her palm (So I'm the only one that sees this. I don't know what's happening but I guess I've figured out what's going on) She thinks and turns to Jedi, "Anyway is this really Romania?" She asks again. Jedi nods. "So your crown prince is Ellian Cartiro and the queen is Her majesty Rumen Cartiro?"
