The Aconitum Flower

ALORA EMBRY

"Alora we will take our leave now, get ready."

"Yes, Brother." I look at the lady he assists and even though he was not showing any reaction his eyes were shining. He still hasn't introduced her to me.

"I will now start to teleport everyone."

"Woah!"

The greet of people to us was left and right the moment we step into Dormer.

"Long live, Dormer!"

"Long live, Brave knights!"

Rose Petals that keep on showering on our heads, kids that were giving flowers to the knights.

"Thank you for bringing Victory to our Empire!"

The lively capital was now back as we marched towards the palace.

"Pretty lady a flower for you." I look at the kid that was being held by her mother, he was holding a red rose and was trying to give it to me. I smile at him and take it.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for protecting us."

"Yeah."

"My Lady take this flower!"

"Your so brave, My Lady." I take the flowers that they keep on giving to me that I can't stop myself from smiling.

"Thank you!"

"You sure have many flowers, My Lady." Hayes suddenly appeared beside me and was smiling as he stare at the flowers in my hand.

"You want some?"

"No, I'm fine. How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I'm good, there is nothing wrong."

"That's great." When we arrive at the palace we are welcomed by the Imperial Family. The Emperor and the Empress were smiling at us and the Crown Prince was also there and behind them were the Knights of the Crown Prince and the head of the three Duchy.

"We greet the Imperial Family and mostly the sun of Dormer Empire Your Majesty, we also greet the great Dukes of Dormer. May God bless you all."

"We are here in front of you to announce our Victory." It was my brother and followed by Leo.

"It was a great pleasure to fulfill our duty. I hope you are pleased, Your Majesty."

"Please rise, My dear brave knights. I can't properly express my happiness when I heard that you bring victory to our motherland and overall, a great honor to the throne. You all deserve an award for the braveness you showed."

"We are grateful, Thank You, Your Majesty."

"Our Empress was preparing for a banquet and it will be held for a week, I would like to invite the young Lords that led us to victory, and the rest you may rest. Prepare for the ceremony tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty." We bowed our heads once again and when they left, my brother approach me.

"Alora you go to Father."

"I won't be attending the meeting?"

"No, you should follow father you still need to get checked."

"But, I'm already fine."

"Go to father, right now." His voice was cold that I nod immediately. He followed others while I watch the knights that were being assisted by the maids to go back to their quarters. I touch my chest when it suddenly throbs, I held my breath for one minute and take a deep breath.
