It came as a wonderment, that the elves were able to find a weapon strong enough to enter the realm, without them being apprised. This served as an advantage to them, as they were thriving in infiltrating a lot of space and managed to seize the important capitals, which served as pillars of the realm. They were well aware of where they should attack, and what stood as the support system of their Empire. It was prominent that they had a helping hand from within the realm, the individual must be someone who knows the secret which their enemies must never and they were after something, something within the palace walls, that was their main target. 

However, the battle only took them a month or less to end although a lot died, they somehow managed to conquer the elves and forged a new protective Impediment for the realm. The protective impediment that had been keeping them till someone found her mate. 

Sighing she couldn't help but wonder how he managed to do that, the spell they used to trigger the impediment was a very emphatic one, they had their best mysticism intellectuals conjure the powerful force field which had kept them for decades in peace without the intrusion of external forces. 

abruptly, she felt a familiar energy, one that was protruding from none other than Elder Burton, it was the energy of a furious light hyde, his entire body glowed white and he seemed like he was going berserk as he was carrying a crazy look like he had lost his mind. he launched a ferocious attack towards Xavier aiming with full speed and the beast bearly managed to doge because he was lost staring at his blossom. But Burton didn't end there, he created a spear out of his proficiency and summoned Attulac, his beast, and merged fully with it within the blink of an eye he was charging towards Xavier again as he roared in rage. 

Since Xavier was distracted Bacillia took this opportunity and snapped out of her daze as the rest had also joined in, Ekila had also resumed her stance. 


Xavier dodged his next attempt with little effort and frowned at the distraction " How dare you to bewilder the conversation between me and my blossom! " he seemed pissed and gritted his teeth harshly glaring at Burton, who didn't seem to care as he charged amuck towards Xavier, only to be thrown by him without much effort, " weakling!" he spat in disgust as his eyes searched for his mate frantically. #extractedfromchaper34

Bounded by the shackles of fate

" Her Royal Highness, Princess Lydia El Alistair the second princess of vanov has arrived " I held my head high as I descended the stairs gracefully holding up my skirt, just like I had practiced. The silence of the entire hall at that moment made my breath stop and I could hear the sound of my own heart threatening to tear out of my chest. I sighed and continued strolling down the stairs carefully, I especially didn't want some humiliation to transpire today. 


I walked towards the table meant for the royal family and did a Curtsy as a sign of respect for the king and queen of vanov and proceeded to take my seat, the king then cleared his throat as he spoke "Let the celebration of the coming of age ceremony of the second princess of vanov, princess Lydia El Alistair commence. " the king broke the pin drop silence as he spoke loud enough for the entire guest in the ceremony hall to hear.


The hall which was once filled with decorum went on with its loud chatters as the music also began to play. Most of their attention was still diverted to me and I felt oddly uncomfortable. 


"Good evening princess, seems you've wowed the young men that attended your banquet tonight. " Lazarus, the first and only son of the king and also the crown prince of Ivanov whispered to me teasingly." they all just can't seem to take their eyes off you." he smiled and bent closer to my ear making sure his hot breath fanned my skin, " you're looking super attractive tonight princess" 


My face instantly turned bright red at his comment, I quickly prevented my eyes from colliding with his pretending not to have heard what he said. 


He noticed my reaction and a slight smirk appeared on his face as he continued, "Not only young and eligible and handsome lads but also married old men with visible wrinkles all over can't wait to add you to their hundreds of collection of beautiful women." 


I turned to him and gave him a hard glare he chuckled lightly and looked away satisfied with my reaction, I felt so galled! he had just ruined my mood urg just thinking of old men coming court me made me nauseous, never will I be a mistress for wasted, old and greedy power-seeking hags. 


After a while the King stood up to address the guests, holding up a spoon and a golden wine cup bearing the crest of the royal family, clinging the spoon to the cup thrice to gain the people's attention, the noise filled hall became dead silent as all attention was now diverted to him. " first of all I would like to thank the guests for attending the coming of age ceremony of the princess " he paused and looked around for a moment and then continued.


  " As you all know, the princess is of the right age of being courted by princes and Nobles from all around so I'd like for the guests to introduce themselves to the princess. " 


" But first, according to tradition, I the king shall have the first dance with the princess before any other. " he nodded toward me and I understood that was my queue.


I stood up and walked towards him and did a Curtsy as I looked up to meet his fatherly gaze that sent warmth into my heart as he smiled and extended his arm "Shall we?"


I nodded my head nervously and took his extended hand into mine, this would be the first dance with my father or rather a man as I had been practicing with the help of my female tutor that had been helping me to prepare for this day.
