The Aconitum Flower

ALORA EMBRY

I was a bit please that the meeting ended and that everyone was willing to go to war with Wren. Well, if they don't I will send them to the battlefield to make sure that they will be the ones who will die first. I talked to my family for a minute and they will stay in the palace in a meantime.

"Brother Kio." He look at me and I handed to him the teleportation scroll.

"And why are you giving me this?"

"Your son will be born soon I want you to be on her side, we can handle the frontlines. Just make sure that your family will be safe, protect them and the twins." He went silent after that just staring at the scroll in his hand.

"Yes, thank you."

"If someone dares to attack the duchy, release Arlene's restrain and tell her to release my babies. By that everyone will be safe."

"I will keep that on my mind."

"You go now, tell to the twins that I miss them." He nodded and talk to mother and father for a second before he leave using the scroll.

"You give the scroll to him." I look at my brother and nod.

"Sister needs him and while he was in the duchy he will sure protect the twins."

"You must leave now to and take a rest." Brother Kaden said and I nod.

"I will see you later."

"And look at Damien, he's been sulking since the meeting." I turned and take a look at Damien, sulking you say? But he looks fine in my eyes.

"I say that he is not."

"If you just saw his face a while ago, Haa. Seriously, why I am busy thinking about other's life." Brother didn't bother to listen to what I would like to say and just left. I watch him follow the maid he must be tired. I approach Damien who was talking to the Crown Prince.

"Damien, let's go."

"Where's Kaden and Kio?"

"Well, Brother Kio just left to be with sister Ellen, brother Kaden just left he must be going to rest."

"Ah, pardon me Crown Prince we must leave now."

"Why don't you too just stay here like others?"

"Thank you for asking but there is something I do want to talk about her."

"Yes, then we bid you goodbye."

"Then take care, Sir, My Lady." We bow our heads and we bid our goodbyes to our parents. As we walk through the halls of the Palace, Damien was silently walking beside me. He has this serious face and now I understand why my brother said that he was sulking. If someone were to bump with him accidentally I bet he would burst in anger.

But why is he acting like this?

"Go to the Rose Gold Hotel."

"Huh, we are going to the hotel and not to the academy?"

"Alora they closed the academy so basically we can't stay there."

"I see, that's sad I enjoy staying in that small room." He didn't say anything after that and just stare outside. Is he mad at me? It was a trip that was filled with an awkward silence, I scoff when I saw his unpleasant face while he was helping me to get down in the carriage. "Damien."

"Yes?" you can hear in his voice that he was irritated, this is not the first time he acts like this but when he does, he was hard to tame.

"Why are you so irritated about?"
