I came out of the guest room only to find someone unexpected. Romania, my head maid. She asked me for leave for 1 month 2 weeks ago. So how come she is here? Beside her was Justin and Edward who were having a serious expression. I asked Romania
"How come you are here?"
She just sighed and said
"Long live, your majesty. I'm here to notice you that crown prince of Wellstone empire, prince Felix wants to meet you. In two days."
What?
Wellstone empire just had a fight. For the throne. The king passed away suddenly, leaving behind 13 children. 12 of them males. 1 of them female. Because the princess was one of the most outstanding people among the royals, she took over the empress position. And for the emperor? A fight. Even though it was not so much complicated as the civil wars in my empire, they were really out of their minds. And even among those mindless idiots, a legendary idiot came out. Felix. The 7th prince. He killed everyone left and right. Just like him. And not only that when he was having bad luck. He came to me proposing marriage. But he was even more scum than that person. Of course I rejected. With a gift. I gave a gift to him. The curse. I cursed him that he will not be able to reproduce until he has new body or he is in another world. At first, he doesn't know. But I think he has found out about it. Good. Now, that scum is the crown prince he has to be more careful when it come to me as I'm one of the most important people in Wellstone empire.
But, still. WHY IS ROMANIA HERE?? I know that if she is here even if its her leave. There must me something bad she would come all the way here to just tell me that right?? Despite my worries inside I asked Romania calmly
"So, why are you here?"
Her expression darkens as she said
"I found my grandmother. In Wellstone empire. I also found out that Prince Felix is also connected to my grandma and then when I met prince Felix, he recognized me as your head maid and told me that he is coming to our empire. I think it's a very dangerous matter."
What? It is not a problem that Felix is coming the real problem is that Romania found her grandmother!! Romania was abused by her parents when she was little kid. By she the time she turned 6 her parents died in an accident and her grandmother took care of her.
Her grandmother was not normal at all. Her grandmother was a wizard. And she was special just for being a wizard. There are three types of people in this world.
First is normal one without any ability. Second was wizards, people who can access magic through a magic stone. But its not that any one could become a wizard. It is a very special thing. Once you become a wizard you can't die easily or even get old easily. And third and last is people like me. We are called Reapers or Netherblinders. We have more than enough power to kill anyone with the click of our hands. And even amongst them I am the strongest. Not any one will be at least given me a good fight.
But now that a problem has arisen that Wizards are endangered. And there are only two Wizards in the world. First my aunt. You can say that she is good as dead. She has become very old. Believe me, it just that I call her simply aunt but she is actually my great-great-great-great-great-grand aunt. Even if she is a wizard and would age slowly. She still has become very old. And second is Romania's grand-mother. She is the only young wizard alive. But she is hard to find. No one knows her location. It is said that she is very cruel well it is not only said it is true.
When Romania was in her grand-mothers care. She was used as a tool. Sometimes she would go beg in streets for food or sometimes she was given a table full of food. And finally, when the war broke out. Her grand-mother left her in war zone.
I was 25 or 26 at the time when I saw Romania. She was calm, mature and naïve at some point. But she was only 15. I took her under my wing with other children. She was brave and she doesn't fear me. I soon thought of her as my younger sister. And even now she is a younger sister to me. I sighed and said
"So How is your grand-mother doing?"
Romania sighed and said
"She is coming here with prince Felix."
What the????
This is unfair...
On one hand I have to take care of Theo and on the other the duke and duchess. But now I have to take care of the Wizard and Felix also. This is unfair.
I sighed.
I said while turning towards Justin and Edward
"You two prepare thing for their arrival."
They nodded and walked away with Romania. Just as I was thinking that I will have some time alone. Theo's sharp voice came crashing
"So that prince is coming. With a wizard??"
Oh! I almost forgot that this punk was just a door behind me. I sighed and said
"They are important. You make sure that you are not doing anything stupid or troubling me. Okay??"
He just sight and nodded.
I was not in the mood of seeing his face. I walked away towards my study. But he didn't budge. He followed me to my study. Finally in front of the door. I turned towards him. Facing him face to face I said
"If you are going to follow me just stop it."
He doesn't say a word and took out a box. He kneed one knee in front of me and said
"Please accept this. This is---"
Just as he was saying the line a loud bang happens. Edward rushed towards me saying
"Your majesty!! Romania!! She is…she is attacked."
I didn't look back and straight forwardly rushed to where the commotion happened. I can't believe my eyes. Romania was bleeding. I took her into my hands and used healing magic. It was good that the injuries were minors and was easily healed.
Shit… I failed to protect her. My younger sister. I shouted violently
"Who is hell of the person harmed my Romania?? Come forward or I will make you suffer for an eternity!!!!"
"I'm am the one."
A trembling voice came. It was scared…and regretting. Like he was regretting what he did. I couldn't see his face clearly because of the smoke of the commotion.
I cursed under my breath.
That person I will kill him. He dared to touch my stuff. Let's see who the hell is this person.
Just as I was going forward to see his face Romania who was in my arms opened her eyes and hugged my tightly saying
"Your majesty…please…take me to my room."
Shit…It is as if she is trying to hide that person.
But I can't reject her request so I turned and walked with Romania in my arms. The whole palace was in chaos.
Maids and servants rushing here and there. While I was looking at Romania. Who smiled a little and fainted. I took her to her bed and lied her down the bed. I gently brushed my hand against her cheeks as I thought
"Who so ever hurst my Romania will not be alive the next 24 hours."
To be continued…
