Mom was kidnapped

Lina was taken aback by Lyle action, finally Lyle released her and then she realized she had been holding her breath

Lyle tucked her silver hair behind her ear, and then whispered “you have to be careful cause devil was once Angel Lucifer” he turned around to leave but Lina held his hand

“Can I…?” She trailed of when her gaze met his, her voice suddenly became a whisper, she swallowed deep gazing into those pair of ocean blue eyes

“Can you what?” He asked his eyebrows raised “can I…I. Visit my land, I promise I would come back and even If I don’t you can attack and destroy witch clan” Lina said rushing the words

Lyle stared at her, his face calm, void of emotions, he let out a deep sigh before saying

“I give you not more than twenty four hours to return, if not so consider the witch land gone and to make things worse I would make sure I keep you alive so that you can suffer” the devilish smirk on his face shows that he meant it

“I promise to return, promise! Pinky swear” she said extending her pinky finger, Lyle only stared at her finger, turned and left her room.

Lina let out a relief sigh, she quickly got dressed and went to the stable to get her house

“I hope you would be okay” Gina asked, leaning on the pillar, Lina smiled at her “I would be, not to worry, I will come back” she stated before climbing on her horse and speeding off.

She followed the short cut to the witches clan, she cast her disguise spell the moment she stepped in.

Activities remained the same amongst villagers, the buzzing noise of people got Lina smiling, it wasn’t every day she got to see a scene like this, most of the time she was locked in the big castle and forced to wear a dress.

‘Why would people be envy of her?’ She asked, she couldn’t help but imagine, you got all the freedom in the world and you wish to be like someone whose freedom is restricted, everything is done for you and you can’t do anything yourself, so annoying.

Her mind came back to her mission when she reached the entrance of the castle, she knew what she was venturing into but what could she do anyways

Lina was able to mix among the maids of the castle, luckily for her, no one noticed the presence of an intruder. The first thing she did was to head for her mother’s room.

Queen Esther wasn’t in her room when she arrived, the room looked empty as if no one stays there, a bit unusual, maybe she was training, thus she decided to check the training ground.

On her way to the training ground she heard a maid say

“Do you think the king would be happy to see you serving him food when he is depressed?” “Well what should I do? The king hasn’t eaten for days now! He needs food Veronica!” The other maid carrying a tray of food yelled at her

“Are you going to force him to eat it? As the saying goes ‘you can force a horse to the stream but you can’t force it to drink water’ he says he doesn’t want to eat, let him be except you are wishing death” the one name tagged Veronica said, hissed and left leaving the other maid alone.

Looking at the food in the tray she also hissed and walked away. ‘Dad is depressed?’ Lina asked inwardly before heading to her father’s room

Lina walked into his room and saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, his head placed on his palm, he didn’t even notice her presence, she wanted to ask what was going on but she knew better. Her father would never allow her to leave and she can’t afford losing her kingdom

“Your majesty” she cleared her throat, expecting him to turn and look at her but he didn’t “your majesty, you have been like this for days now, should I serve you food?” She asked and it was then he raised his head

If this wasn’t her castle and it wasn’t her father’s room she would never believe this man was her father, what the fucking hell happened? This was the man she used to know, he was always jovial, happy and cheerful but the man staring at her didn’t seem to be happy, in fact he was a walking dead, those happy eyes were all dead

“Who are you?” He asked “I…I was worried about your safety and that is why I…” she trailed off

“You haven’t answered my question” Edmond said taking his gaze off her “your majesty I’m Peace, a maid in the palace” “I made declaration that no one is allowed to serve me food and you have the audacity to defy my orders, right!?” He thundered angrily and grabbed her by her neck.

“Father! Let her go, as she said she is concerned about your safety” Kiel rushed in saving her, seems like Ezekiel has grown so much he was in charge of everything

“Father, you have to put yourself together, we are in this mess together remember?” He told him calmly before carrying Lina out

“Follow me” he ordered before going to his own room

“Do you wish death or something?” He asked the moment they arrived his room “the king is madly depressed and you…?, After seeing what he did to all the guards and maids?” He asked unable to comprehend what happened

“I’m actually” she paused before she cast the disguise spell to return to her normal appearance

“Lina!” He screamed as he rushed to hug her “what is going on, what is wrong with dad?” Lina asked

“Many things has happened Lina” “things like what?”

“Lina, life hasn’t been easy since you left, seriously speaking, dad is traumatized”

“You are making me scared Kiel, what happened?” Lina fired

Kiel stared into her silver eyes before saying

“Mom was kidnapped”
