New World

XV

I changed my clothes and went to the garden where everyone was having tea, I stood beside Natalie and Janette a little far from them. We were having a conversation when I heard someone calling me, it was the servant who was serving their table, she told me that they called for me, I walked up to them.

-"Lady Liadan, please join us this flower tea is so delicious" Vivian said forcing a smile, I knew that there was no point of declining it so I sat down on a chair that the servants brought for me between Claude and Lutuis. The tea smelled sweet like a sunny day in a field of flowers while you rest under the shadow of a tree, I took a sip and all the physical pain and stress that I felt for the past few days were gone, a satisfied expression appeared on my face as I took another sip.

-"Do you like it ?" Luthuis asked me, I just nodded while smiling softly at him, he returned the smile.

-"It was his highness the king Claude who brought it, he said that it's a rare flower from his kingdom, am i correct your Majesty?" Vivian said seductively at him, he ignored her and towards me.

-"This flower is known for her medical benifits in our kingdom, it relives any physical pain and warms the heart" 

-"yes, I felt my body lighter after drinking it thank you Clau- Your Majesty" I almost called him by his name in front of them, I looked at Vivian and she was super mad and claude was having a hard time containing his laugh.

'Someone will get in trouble' I cursed under my breath, but I felt Luthuis's hand holding mine and squeezing it this gesture means *don't worry I'm here* I unconsciously smiled at him and he did the same, and I felt Katherine's stare and quickly lowered my head. The rest of the tea time was just Vivian and Katherine asking Claude random questions and him ignoring them and answering me instead, it was so awkward.

I was back with Katherine to her room with the other girls, once we were inside she kept yelling at everyone and throwing things around.

-"YOU..." she walked fast towards me, is she going to try and hit me again,because this time I'm ready for her.

-"how did you do it? How could you get a guy like the king Claude interested in you?"

-"I didn't do anything" 

-"You are lying... Are you trying to get revenge on me for stealing William? The Prince is already head over heals for you and now Claude?" All the other girls in the room were shoked, she didn't realise what she just said.

-"lady Katherine, i don't know what you are talking about. I have no such relationship with the King Claude or his Majesty" I bowed and left, rumors will start spreading about her stealing Luthuis too, since he danced with me in the Ball. Kath sweetie you are ruining yourself with your own hands, and Mom won't be able to protect you this time.

I found Claude laying on my bed while reading a book, I closed the door and sat on my desk's chair while facing him.

-"I thought that you and the queen Vivian were lovers, why did you ignore her today?"

-" Oh you are talking about that day? I was just bored and she threw herself on me, it was a one time thing... I was clear about it but women *sigh* can't resist to my beauty" I was laughing at how funny this was, he is so confident with his looks, and poor Vivian I wonder how was her expression when he told her that. 

Claude approached the place where I was sitting and bent down so that his face was in the same level as mine, his face was so close.

-"What a shame... You already belongs to someone else, I would've loved to have you by my side and see your lovely smile everyday" as he said those words he fixed his clothes and left. He is acting real weird this days, he is more gentle with me and compliment me a lot  , did he fall in love with me? With these looks and amazing personnality of mine... Never, his standards must be very high since he rejected KATH the most beautiful girl in our kingdom.

I reached for my dad's diary under the bed and opened it, this time a lot of pages were not empty anymore, i sat down on the bed and started reading the first few lines.

'Dear Liadan,

Now you know the truth, but I will have to tell you again my and your mother's version of the story, this will probably take a few hours for you to read.

Liadan, this is me your mother... You are a grown up girl right now, I'm so proud of you for going this far, I know that I won't be present for you during your life, I won't be able to see you walk for the first time or talk for the first time... I won't even be able to hear you calling me mom and hugging me, I won't be able to take care of you when you will get sick or get injured from playing around... but I want you to know that i will be looking after you and protecting you, I love you my little angelic demon.' I hugged the diairy and cried while repeating *I love you mom* after a few minutes I was able to continue reading the other lines.

'As you may know by now, not all angels are extremely powerful, some of them just like me have the few basic abilities like telepathy and moving small things... I was one of the week angels, and I was also the princess.

One day I took my servants because I wanted to take a bath in the lake of the forst who used to be the kingdom of the fairies, once we were there and as we were having fun, we were attacked by some demons... they managed to get my servants, but I hid in the water until they left. when i got out of the lake one of those demons was still there waiting for me, and he attacked me but Azarias saved me. 

With just one strike of his sword and the other demon was dead, at that moment as i saw his beautiful blue eyes, i immediatly knew that he was my soulmate.

I didn't want to leave his side, and apparently neither did he, so we hid in a house inside the forest and with each passing day we fell in love more. One day we decided to leave this world and get married in the human realm, but we had to ask the help of the previous King since he was the only one with the ability to do that.

surprinsingly, he agreed very easily to our request and he sent us, we also asked him to take the golden harp to make a wish. The wish was to get pregnant with you, I don't regret making that wish at all... because your were the most beautiful thing I've ever had in my life.

You may wonder how did we manage to make a wish with the harp, the condition of a white heart meant a heart that is full of love... Me and Azarias were in love so it was easy to make that wish.

This is where my version of the story ends, I love you Liadan'

*I love you too Mother*
