The Bewitching Countess of the Villa Ersandmyne

Pg. 49

The dream that Valentina had was the same one that Isabella had while she lay in Marquel's arms but with her it was her father that spoke to her. Lucius spoke these words, 'Isabella, moja krásna dcéra, čoskoro sa vydáš za partnera, ktorého si tvoje srdce vybralo, a stane sa niečo úžasné, zázraky ako nikto iný. Ale neboj sa svojej matky a keď sa to stane, budem s tebou. Milujeme ťa, kráska.'

***Isabella, my beautiful daughter, soon you will wed the mate your heart has chosen and something wonderful will happen, wonders like none other. But do not be frightened for your mother and I will be together with you when it happens. We love you beautiful.'

What neither she nor Valentina knew was that the spirits of their parents were absorbed into their bodies upon their deaths. Lucius was absorbed by Valentina's body and Isabella's body absorbed Valencia's, but when it came to talking to them each other spoke to their daughter in the other's body so as not to bring suspicion as they knew their daughters were smart and could deduce anything.

At the same time that they absorbed their parent's spirit, they also gained their power, abilities, and their intelligence above all the knowledge they had on everything that had to do with the ins and outs of the moroi foundation. 

Having this knowledge helped them to control themselves as they reached the age of wanting to feed and learning how to handle their abilities as well as the abilities of their parents although they didn't know that it was their parent's abilities. It gave them the knowledge on how to keep themselves safe from the Vallarci Clan that had been after them for so long.

Although the words said to both Valentina and Isabella were in a dream another had 'heard' them and that was Magnus as he lay in his somber state on his satin, pillowed table as he didn't have an affinity for coffins or caskets of any type. 

He was happy when he heard the voice of Valencia speaking to Valentina but when he heard his son's voice his dry heart started bumping and he knew that soon, very soon he would be able to laugh, jump and enjoy his life as he had before but before anything happened, he had to get rid of Bartholomew.

If Bartholomew is not caught and done with then the smile he now had would be gone, no, he had to be found, be put in shackles, brought in front of the council, and have let him see that his father was passing judgment on him not only for the murder of his brother and sister-in-law but for the attempted murder of his two nieces, the murder of many more like himself including Maira who he had found out her only sin was having said no to him when he wanted to fuck her.

If it hurt him as a father to have his son murdered just because he made him a grandfather how much more must of it hurt Aurora and Darius to know that their daughter Maira was murdered because she stood by her values and her heart as she had the man she loved, she didn't want to fuck Bartholomew. Besides there was no way she could give him the children he wanted to be able to present as pure breed, Maira wasn't a vliver and she died unnecessarily.
