All of them finally met

Both Alec and Liam looked at Anastasia with suspicious eyes. The girl looked ordinary but something was fishy about her aura. Still, they had to thank her for helping Noah get to them. But, the most troublesome matter for them at the moment was Noah's behaviour.

"You are acting as though you don't know us" Liam said to Noah which made him snap his head to Liam who had a frown on his face. "Oh that is because I have lost my memories and the first thing I remembered after I was conscious, was that I was at the bank of a river with a Labrathan beside me" he said followed by Anastasia correcting him with "Its Leviathan" with a sigh

"Yeah, what she said was beside me. It looks like a big snake-like dragon if you don't know what we are talking about" Noah said while Alec and Liam looked at him like he had suddenly turned into a chicken. They started laughing at him holding their stomachs. Alec fell off again while Liam went to Noah and started hitting his shoulder. Alec slowly got up on his feet as his laughter lightened.

"I had never seen him being dominated by a girl like this, ever. He looks adorable yet stupid for some reason" Alec said and Liam nodded while trying to stop laughing. Noah looked at Anastasia and then both of the men like a clueless kid. Both of them stopped laughing and turned to Anastasia.

"And who are you?" they asked. Anastasia wanted to say something but Noah beat her to it as both Liam and Alec looked at him. "She is a fire elemental and she lived in the woods. She saved my life from the tribes and let me stay in her house for the night. She also helped me get here after fighting with a giant", Noah said in one breath. Again all eyes were on Anastasia.

"Yeah.. what he said" she said with a blank face. Liam and Alec left Noah's side and went a little further so that the other two didn't hear what they were talking.

"He says he has lost his memories but the king never mentioned anything about losing memories in the prophecy, he said only the powers will be gone" Alec whispered.

"Maybe he hit his head when he fell from the waterfall. But I think it’s better if we take him to the palace first" Liam whispered.

While the two were discussing what they would do next, Noah went and stood beside Anastasia. "Do you think I should trust them?" Noah asked Anastasia.

"Don't ask me, big guy! You are the one who knew them before. In my opinion, they look like dimwits" Anastasia said and right on cue both Alec and Liam turned to both of them. Noah gave a sweet smile while Anastasia looked at them like they were mad men. They returned after their mysterious discussion and stood face to face with Anastasia.

"Thank you for helping our brother. We'll take care of him from here" Liam said which made Noah wrap his arms around Anastasia's right hand.

"I am not going anywhere without Anastasia!" Noah said to the two men. Alec and Liam were surprised at Noah's behaviour. Alec sighed and said, "In that case, Miss Anastasia, we need you to come with us"

"To where ? " Anastasia asked with curiosity and was shocked at what she heard next,

"The Palace? Why?" Anastasia asked Alec who was getting annoyed by Anastasia's constant questioning.

"Because that's where we live" Alec said to which Anastasia narrowed her eyes at him and was about to say something but Alec spoke again.

"If you are going to ask why we live in the palace, it’s because Noah is the crown prince and we are his cousin brothers. We can start moving if you are done with all your questions" Alec said rudely which made Anastasia cock her brow up at him.

"Okay, but I was going to ask how far the palace was. Anyways, let's go" she said and motioned for Alec to lead the way. They started walking to the palace.

Anastasia was walking behind Liam, Alec and Noah. It was like watching dumb, dumber and the dumbest.

"You are good at swordsmanship, archery and in wrestling" Liam said to which Noah's eyes went wide.

"Really?" he asked, not being able to believe what he just heard. "Ask Alec, if you think I am lying" Liam said which made Noah turn to Alec with curious bunny eyes.

"Yeah! what he said is totally true. Also you are the strongest fire elemental of the kingdom" Alec said to which Noah turned to Anastasia with wide eyes.

"Anastasia, I am a fire elemental too" he said with a smile showing most of his teeth which made even Anastasia smile and nod her head.

It was a lie that Anastasia was not at all affected by the fact that Noah was a prince. She realised that she was walking into the lion's den. But she had nothing to lose and there wasn't anything too dear to her to protect. Also, going to the palace might also lead her to her father's past. She was ready to take the risk. So, she just followed them.

After a few minutes of walking through the city, they finally reached the palace to find Henry and Aiden entering the palace gates at the same time.

"Henry!!" Alec screamed and ran to him. Henry and Aiden saw Alec and stopped at their track. But what they saw behind him made them run to them. Seeing Noah at last made them happy. Aiden ran past Henry and hugged Noah like his life depended on it. Noah didn't mind and just hugged Aiden back.

"You irresponsible child! Where the hell were you? Don't disappear on us like that" Aiden said while Ness looked at him like he was some alien. Aiden turned to Alec and asked, "Alec, what is the matter with this kid?"

"He has lost his memory and doesn't remember any of us" Alec said to which Aiden's eyes widened as his eyes wandered between Noah and Alec.

"Who is that?" Henry asked, pointing to Anastasia.
