Life Beyond the Doors

Chapter 11 : Royal backstory

Marlin really didn't quiet understand . So seeing her confused state of mind  grandma started telling ,

"You know in ancient times usually to conquer power or nobility people used to hurt each other for that power to uphold . It would sometimes lead to murder or assassination."
.
.
.
That child maybe or could be in the same situation who knows . He might be cautious 24/7 in order to save himself from different dangers and who are making plans in order to assassinate him. He's holding onto his dear life . Poor boy....

Marlin was shocked , "Can people be really cruel ..?"
Marlin does know how it feels like to be suffered but to lead a life where you might die anytime seems more terrifying than that ....

"Well you don't have to worry about that"

Grandma hugged Marlin while saying that.
"Since we both live in the modern worlds and we are both powerless so I don't think anyone would actually be benefited in killing us haha"

".......yeah,right ."

Grandma stared at Marlin, "Why don't you look so pleased though?" She started looking at her more closely .

Marlin inverted Grandmas eyes thinking she cannot lie straight to her face . She stumbled saying , "What are you saying grandma....? . Maybe you have gotten old so you don't understand how I'm feeling right ?"

"Hmm....."
Then she burst out laughing saying , "Hoho maybe you're right . This lady has gotten old. I probably should go to sleep . You should too , Marlin!"

"Yes, Grandma!"

Marlin took grandma to her bed and made arrangements to make her sleep peacefully.When Marlin kissed her grandma goodnight and was leaving ...

Grandma opened her eyes to see Marlin going away and she made a saddened expression while having this thoughts -

"Dear Lord, please protect this innocent child . I just wish her to be happy and nothing else"

Marlin returned to her bedroom in the count house . She kept pondering over the thoughts and realised she might have to know more . She remembered the flashback she had with Loren.

"You came from the concubines prince room!"

"So he's a prince after all ...", Marlin thought .
So in the end the handsomeness only the princes get just like in the fairytale books ...
*sighs*

Marlin called her maid and told her they will be going to the library later . When that time arrived Marlin went into the library . She started collecting books of the history of the royal family .

While reading she found out about "him"
