78 A Parents Story

Vander was currently lost in the mansion. And tried asking around for his direction. But he don't know that it was actually Angelica playing a trick on. She was mad that he don't come see her so she trapped him in an illusion spell making him wander aimlessly around trying to escape.

The poor boy hasn't notice but she was sure his smart brain will work soon.

"Teacher why are you smiling like that?" Felix asked since he was sure that it was a mischievous smile she often gave when she was bothering someone.

"Like what Felix?"

"Like a fox who trapped a rabbit."

"I like the analogy. Hmm.. it truly is similar when you think about." She was referring to the lost rabbit in the mansion named Vander.

Cathal and Ivan had long guessed who she was referring to and sighed. Poor boy.

"Well he'll soon find his way after all he is a tad bit smarter than Cathal." She heartlessly attacked Cathal who could only frown. He never done anything so why is she attacking him.

Seeing his crumpled face made her laugh as she finished the ice cream that Ivan gave. She really liked it and if she had the chance she would ask for more. If only she wasn't so busy. Sigh!

"So why aren't you both married yet? I thought you had someone you like?" Angelica asked and it made both of them chock by her sudden question.

"Teacher.. cough! cough! Marriage is not on my mind yet.." Cathal said. It was true, he didn't have time to look for a Queen yet. But he had been nagged by a bunch a people for his marriage and it was starting to get annoying.

"Child, what you don't have in your mind is someone that interests you. I wonder were your parents went wrong with the both of you. Even your father was better at finding such a fine Queen as your mother. I thought you would too. I really should complain to Alex about this."

Cathal sighed hearing his fathers name. His parents were currently staying at the Miracle Palace that was in the north. He dumped all his work on his two sons while he went to relax with the reason of being to old.

His father was annoying.

Ivan looked curiously at her and asked, "You know the previous King as well?" Now he was curious since the previous king was an interesting man.

"I almost died in his hands. But I made sure to at least made sure it break his arm before dramatically losing." She laughed remembering the stupidest fight they ever had.

"His father, found me a nuisance and started to attack me when I was healing Flora. It was so funny!" She laughed and continued her story, "I met their mother back in Cloud Kingdom now know as Gold City. She had came under the tree I was sleeping on and slept their. So I went to go check on her." She smiled.

"Alex was an annoying man and I don't understand why Flora had stayed with him. I almost wanted to kill him 6 times in total. But alas that man.. he left me speechless with his affection for his wife." Angelica shook her head and decided that it was a great chance to expose this unspoken secret about that man to his children.

"Hey lady!! Wake up!" She patted the woman cheek gently and saw the woman stirred up and blinked around.

"Drink this, it water. It seems you were suffering from the heat. Your quite stupid." Angelica harshly remarked and the lady looked at her blankly.

Angelica felt like she was talking to kid and wondered what was wrong, "Hey, listen!! You have to take care of yourself. Your pregnant and shouldn't over work yourself."

She then saw the lady cry and became dumbfounded. Angelica didn't even bother wiping her tears and let the woman cry herself out since she didn't understand why she was crying. Angelica instead pulled out a water pouch and some food she had made before cat-napping on the tree.

It was a strange habit she picked up but she found this spot super quite and fell into a shallow sleeping before hearing someone fall. She jumped down to check on the woman and found her sleeping from fatigue. She made sure to check her pulse and only laughed when's he found that this woman was so reckless.

"Here eat this. I don't know how long ago you've eaten, but you should have enough water and food to walk back home and rest. Make sure it's a lot of rest. Your to stressed about something and you falling asleep here, which is dangerous and shouldn't be done next time. Humans as weak as you will only die if you come out here next time alone. Go back home human." Angelica said and gave the food and water before jumping back onto the tree leaving the confused Queen their.

Flora looked at the food and then up to the tree were the woman with short hair rested at. She smiled and then quietly ate the food and said her thanks to the strange but kind woman, "Thank you Miss."

Flora was shocked by her words about her being pregnant and became giddy to tell her husband about it but then remembered what happened earlier and became dejected.

Angelica hung upside down and it startled the woman, "I telling you this once, but this area has low level monster and it's not safe for a human like you. Return back." Her blue eye looked into the soft green ones.

Flora sighed, "I don't want to go back. It to bothersome and I don't want to see them anymore." She sighed and Angelica looked at her with a funny expression. It was even more ridiculous since she was hanging upside down.

"Human child, I don't understand your words. But if you care about the little one I inside you then I would suggest you go home. The life inside you is special..." Angelica looked at the small aura and smiled.

"He's born to be a wise king." Making Flora jump with surprise.

"What's wrong? I'm saying the truth, the little body inside you has strong magic abilities and he will go far. You may not feel it often, but slowly you will feel your energy become more and more depleted as the pregnancy continues. This is because the little one is a special. Other magic babies don't usually have this but it a fact that this one is special. Cherish this life you are holding." Angelica warned and then snapped her fingers to teleport the human back to the busy city.

Flora blinked her eyes and found that she had returned to the carriage that was parked in the busy streets of Gold City.

"Your Highness!!!" The guard was surprise and it brought the attention of other knights who were currently looking for their missing Queen. "You've finally return!! His majesty wen to look for you but you had suddenly disappeared-"

"Enough, I want to rest. Lets go back to the carriage and tell his highness that I'm here and alright." Flora said elegantly and the knight can only obeyed.

Alex came rushing and found his wife sitting on the carriage all safe and sound. He sighed in relief but wore a strict face as he intended to scold her for her recklessness and sudden disappearance.

"Flora! How could you just disappear like that from the streets?! Do you know how dangerous it is for you to go out without an escort? Your the Queen and many people would love to have your head-"

"Your majesty. I came back safe and sound just like you said. I went on a stroll yet you make such a big deal? Is my head really worth that much as you say? I may be the Queen and am from a Duke's household, but I know how to take care of myself." Flora was hurt since his first question wasn't about whether she was alright or not but because he was the Queen.

"Let's just end this problem here. Come we still have work to do at the palace your highness." Flora said and then rested her hand on her stomach protectively.

Alex sighed and entered the carriage. It was quite and he felt uncomfortable since his wife was looking at the window and not him. He felt a bit hurt but didn't say anything.

Angelica looked at the woman under the tree and then to the knight that came with her and scoffed.

The knight was like a little puppy to her, when you poke it, it will try biting your finger. Her mischievous side suddenly lit up.

"Miss, this is for the food and water you gave me last time." Flora handed the strange woman who was currently resting on the tree a basket full of desserts.

Angelica's eyes lit up and she jumped down the tree.
