Old friend

Julia frowned upon hearing what the person said.

"Do you believe I would hurt my cousin for power?" she asked and the person came behind her.

"Do you?" she asked but got no response so she turned around and looked at the guy then saw it was her childhood friend Victor and sighed.

"Here," she said as she pointed both of her hands to him and his hands trembled then he looked at her.

"I don't believe you would hurt your cousin or your family, well not intentionally," he said.

"I never questioned my father's decision not even when my marriage was concerned because I believed his choice was right but that night changed everything, my father choose a stranger over me" she replied and the guy frowned.

"Julia I have known you since we were kids, we all trained together, I... i really don't want to believe you are the one that's wrong here but...." he said.

"He betrayed me, that night of our engagement party he was going to take the orb, we were so stupid, dad took him in the clan because he saw potential in him and believed in his sad story even I did, he is just a guy who wants power and will do anything to get it" she replied then the guy's eyes widened.

"He set you up" the guy said.

"Yes he did, you and I both know I was in training I would have protected the orb, I don't know where it is but you have to believe that he will be the downfall of our clan if dad doesn't stop hunting me" she replied.

"I believe you, I now know why he demanded we look for you, I thought it was because he cared that's why I joined but I was wrong," he said and Daisy came out at the balcony at the same time then saw her talking to the guy and smiled wickedly.

"I knew she was hiding things," Daisy said to herself then walked out of the balcony and went to find the prince.

"What do you want me to do now?" the guy asked.

'Can you tell me where the search teams are?" she asked.

"I don't know I came ahead, to be honest, but I can find out then tell you back" he responded.

"Good that will be great," she said with a frown.

"Julia I am so sorry that I actually believed" Victor replied and she smiled.

"You don't have to apologize, it's not your fault, I will kill him though," she said.

"How is Dorious doing?" she asked.

"He is in a coma, if he wakes up fast enough then your father will listen to him for he actually witnessed what happen and you were blamed for his state" Victor responded then she placed her hand on his shoulder and he looked at her as the girl brought the prince into the balcony and showed him the girl.

'Who is that?" the prince asked as he looked at her talking to Victor.

'I don't know but I am telling you this girl is bad news" Daisy responded then the prince sighed as Victor hugged Julia.

"I will see you when I get some new Julia," he said then raised up and left and the girl went back into the castle.

"Daisy go take some rest it's late," the prince said then walked away and she smiled.

"Your highness," Julia said as she walked up the stairs and he walked past her without saying anything and she sighed then saw Daisy smiling.

"You bitch" Julia said and the girl walked past her.

"You don't belong here," Daisy said then left and Julia went to take a bath in her own room.

'I wonder if Daisy is right?" the prince asked himself as he went to the living room.

"I wonder what's up with the prince?" the girl asked herself as she took a bath.

After the girl finished she came out, wrapped herself into her towel, and went to change.

While changing the girl noticed her eyes started glowing and she sighed.

"I wonder where the orb could be," she said as she got into her nightdress and Rose appeared in the room.

"Hey," Rose said and the girl jumped.

"You have to stop doing that" Julia replied with a frown.

"The orb is you," the girl said then Julia's eyes widened.

"What are you talking about?" Julia asked.

"Look deep within yourself Julia, the answer to one of your questions is within you, the orb is no more you are the new vessel of the powers" she responded then disappeared and Julia trembled as she looked at herself in the mirror.

'What does she mean by that?, what do I do now?" she asked herself as the prince came into her room and she jumped in fear.

"Woah relax it's just me," the prince said and she sighed.

"Your highness what are you doing here?" she asked as he sat down on her bed and stared at her and Julia swallowed deeply.

"Why is he giving me a death stare?" she asked herself.

"Uh... can I help you with something?" she asked as he laid back on her bed and she sat down on the couch.

"Your highness it's late and I.. I would like to call it a night now" she said then he looked at her sternly and she sighed then stood up.

"Can I help you with something?" she asked.

"Yes you can" he responded.

"Well can you please tell me what," she said.

'Who was the guy you were talking to huh?" he asked and she folded her cuffs remembering the smirk on Daisy's face.

"Tsk.. he is a friend of mine, he came here searching for me" she responded and he looked at her with sharp eyes.

"I don't really know what's going on with you but are you in danger?" he asked then she downed her head and folded her cuffs.
