Conquest of Magic

Part 57

Queen Irna, What's the matter? You look worried. I asked when a strange feeling washed over me.

The queen just sat in the garden, not paying attention to anything, until I placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a light shake. She came back out of her trance and looked at me wide-eyed.

Is anything wrong? I asked. Concerned.

The queen quickly composes herself and smiles at me.

Sorry. I was not paying attention. She said with a weak smile. Her voice was almost nervous, and I never saw her getting nervous.

I sat beside the queen and asked her again. "I know something is bothering you. Tell me." I encouraged her softly. The queen lets out a sigh.

"I am just a little worried."

"About what?"

"History shouldn't repeat itself." She said and looked ahead.

I understood what she was worried about. She placed her hand above mine and smiled. "I know what you're thinking, but don't worry. This time, history will not repeat itself. I promise."

Queen Irna nodded and squeezed my hand lightly, trying to put on a smile that didn't reach her eyes. We sat there for a while until a maid came running to Kristen.

"Princess." She says this and catches her breath.

"What's wrong?" I furrowed my brows at her.

"Ms. Sophia is here." She says it with a panicked expression on her face.

Hearing her name made me feel unpleasant. The time to send blood to vampires is not fixed yet. What is the purpose of her visit now? I thought. "Let her in." The queen says. I turned my head to look at her with a questioning gaze. She just smiled. "We can stop the past from repeating itself; for that, we must know what they are plotting. I am sure there is something. The queen says.

The maid bows her head and runs back to open the portal for her.

We arrived at the courtroom and requested that all the ministers be present at the court. The ministers all looked very excited when they saw me and started to give me their greetings and express their happiness about my upcoming wedding.

Mr.. Aron and Mr. Theo hugged me when I greeted them. Aron always insisted that I call him grandfather, but I never felt comfortable calling him that, today was the first time I greeted him as grandfather. It just came out naturally.

"Kristen, dear, are you excited for the big day?" He asked happily.

I just nodded my head in response. Not feeling the happiness and excitement. There were so many reasons behind it. I always dreamed of my wedding, just like any other girl. To have her parents and relatives in her head and her father walking down the aisle. Though I always dreamed of my adoptive parents before this time, I wished for my real parents to be here, as well as my aunt Anna. Suddenly, her memories floated through my mind, and a lone tear escaped my eyes.

Mr. Theo noticed it and hugged me. "Dear, I know what makes you sad, and there is nothing we can do to fill that gap in your life, but you do have so many people who love and care for you, and you have a coven of witches inside you. You are not alone. We are your family, and we will stay by your side always." He said and wiped the tears away from my eyes.

"Thank you, Mr Theo. It's just I really wish my parents were here with me." I said sadly.

"I miss them too Kristen. I am sure they are so proud of you and always watching over you." Grandfather says patting my hair.
