CHAPTER 3:

"So what has this got to do with me??"I asked confusing itched on my face, "well, the Targaryens lost the throne not to long ago, right?" Rhea said.

"Yes, and??" I asked again, "Dad recently received a letter from prince Viserys Targaryen promising us lands and titles." Rhea stated.

"Wow really does that mean we will become nobles and lords again, like how grandfather was??" I asked joyful at the declaration of sister.

"Yes. But he asked us to help him in his reconquest, that means there will come a time where we will go to war." Rhea said in her usual calm voice, but there was excitement behind every word.

"So mom wants me to learn, so that I go to war??" I asked tugging at the fabric of my tunic, "Don't be silly, mother will never send you to war. You know mother, she believes in the saying:"Better be safe than sorry", and that you should be prepared for anything." Rhea stated in a matter of fact way.

"Yeah, you are right mom would never send me to war!" I said colors returning to my face. "You should start reading your book. So that you can choose your art of magic." Rhea said in an attempt to make me forget about what she said not so long ago.

"Yeah, I will. See you!" I said as I went to a cornor in the library to read the book, but I was unable to find it in the pocket dimension. 'I must have left in the dining room ' I thought, as I started running out of the room towards the dining room.

As I was about to turn at the section the one leading to the dining room I heard brother Louis and Uncle Dramon talking.

"Dad will probably want Jade to get married to the Targaryen girl, as it will gain us a lot of favors with the Targaryens. It doesn't help that they are the same age too, born on the same day it seems." said Louis in an emotionaless voice.

"Most likely. Your mother will not want such a thing to happen though, as he is only 6 not eligible for any engagement. Be it a queen's or a king's order, she will not let him get engaged." Uncle said in a detached voice, that made shivers run down my spine.

'I have never heard uncle and brother talk like this before. And why are they talking about me? does dad want me to get married?' As the questions seem to multiply, I heared footsteps from inside the dining room coming towards me.

I acted as though I just arrived, and didn't hear them, "Hey uncle, have you seen a book inside the dining room?" I asked trying to peak inside, when uncle suddenly moved in front of me blocking the dining room from my view.

"Oh yes, I did here you go. I was just about to head over to the library to hand it to you." he said handing me the book from his satchel, "Thanks uncle, see you." I said quickly leaving, with my head full of questions with no answers.

I decided to head back to the library once again, and as I entered Rhea asked what was wrong, and why did I leave abruptly earlier. I told her that I forgot the book at the dining room and I went to get it.

She asked me if I heard anything whilst there, especially if it's from brother Louis. When I answered negatively, she stared at me with narrow eyes for a good moment, making me sweat and internally panic a little.

However, after a few more seconds she dismissed me, and started reading her own book. 'What just happened? Was I caught? I never was more confused than right then, or more anxious actually. 'I think as I sit in a far away table.

I took the book out and put it on the table, I directly started skimming through it, as fast as possible, to learn everything I can about the theory behind magic.

"I can't believe this book took me 3 days to finish it. Rhea didn't tell me it would take this long to finish!" I tell myself as I have finally reached the last page.

'Well, all in all the book wasn't as boring as I thought it would be, guess anything that has magic in it won't be boring.' I think joyfully to myself as I have finally finished the last page.
