“Why are you so eager to die… Don’t you want to know what happened to your daughter? Who killed her?…”
Arthur said and she halted in her place.
“I’ll leave it to my destiny…”
She said. She tried everything to find out about it but couldn’t find anything. She got disappointed from every direction.
She looked ahead and saw Nicolai standing in front of them, she didn’t miss the hateful glare which he gave to Arthur. he started walking towards her and she changed her way, not wanting to face him.
She took few steps and quickly turned around when she heard loud growl.
“Nicolai?”
She frowned when she saw him on the ground growling in pain.
Nicolai was on his knees, sudden pain spark in his head and heart as soon as he stepped towards serenity. He couldn’t understand what’s happening, it wasn’t his usual pain which he experience due to their seperation.
Serenity rushed towards him.
“What happened?”
She asked worriedly and he Groaned in pain while clutching on his heart.
“Nicolai what happened?”
She asked placing her hand on his heart.
“What the fuck!”
Vincent said while running towards him along with Lucifer.
“What happened to him?”
Lucifer asked serenity.
“I don’t know, he suddenly started screaming”
She replied.
“It’s not because of the mark, it’s different”
Nicolai groaned in pain.
They took him to their chamber and everyone was present there. Serenity was sitting next to Nicolai because he refused to let her hand go and his grip was too strong for her to break.
She again tried to pull her hand back when she saw principal coming to meet him but he didn’t let her go.
“Stay… I need you”
“How are you feeling your majesty?… I apologise for whatever happened”
Principal said but he didn’t miss the way he was holding serenity.
“What are you apologizing for?”
Vincent asked.
“Do you have any idea what happened to him?”
“Yes, someone tried to caste a spell on King Nicolai”
Principal declared.
“What?!”
Serenity, Vincent and Lucifer yelled in unison.
“Yes, but this campus is protected against use of harmful spells… If anyone tried to perform forbidden spell then forces around the campus will try to protect the victim from spell which results in pain as it creates pressure on mind and heart of the victim… Considering strength and power of king Nicolai we assume that the spell was powerful that’s why he was in so much pain.”
“Who was it?”
Lucifer growled.
“Please calm down My king… We will find out the person very soon…”
He requested.
“Why would someone try to harm him?”
Serenity asked and everyone looked at her.
“We will find out that too Sera, don’t worry my child…”
Principal replied.
“Can’t you find it out… You can do that right?”
Nicolai asked her.
Serenity finally pulled her hand back and got up from the bed.
“It was my duty to escort you here your majesty… I am afraid i can’t do more than this… I’ll take your permission now…”
She said and quickly walked away from there leaving them disappointed.
She walked out and sighed, she doesn’t want to tell them that she can’t use her powers anymore. But one question was constantly bugging her, who is trying to caste spell on kings.
She looked ahead and caught glimpse of dark shadow, she walked towards it and removed the window curtain but no one was there.
She sighed and walked towards the terrace. She was feeling restless so she sat there alone under dark sky.
“What are you doing here alone?”
She looked back and saw Albert.
“I can ask you the same”
She replied.
He chuckled.
“I am lone soul… I always wonder around alone…”
“Haven’t you find your mate?”
She asked.
“Not yet…”
He sighed and sat beside her.
“You look sad, what happened?”
“Forget about me… What happened to you, you look sad”
She asked looking at him.
“I miss my parents…”
He sighed.
“What happened to them?”
She asked.
“Today you are curious about me?”
He smiled.
“So you won’t bother me”
She shrugged.
“My aunt killed my father… She was arrogant, evil and selfish… My mother couldn’t bear the seperation from her husband and killed herself… Tragic, right?”
He smiled bitterly.
“I am sorry… It must be very Hard for you… And your brother betrayed you too. You have suffered so much”
She said.
“That’s why I am here, to groom myself… I want to kill my aunt… I want revenge.”
He said.
“I hope you succeed… All the best.”
She replied.
“But remember one thing Albert… Fire of revenge makes us blind with its smoke and Sometimes we fail to head towards the right direction… Don’t hurt any innocent for your revenge which will leave you guilty for your eternity.”
“I won’t hurt an innocent i promise”
He assured and she smiled.
“By the way, are you not busy tonight?”
“Not really! Why?”
She frowned.
“Ohh i thought so… Because from Tomorrow onwards we are going to worship five elements of nature… One element each day.”
I thought you will be preparing for it.
“Ohh about that!… No need to prepare, elements are present everywhere…”
She replied.
“So which one is tomorrow?”
He asked.
“Fire!… I hope you collected your candles. Everyone needs to lit in the morning and protect till next morning.”
She said.
He smiled.
“Yes, whole box… See”
He pulled it out from his jacket making her chuckle.
“Okay, i gotta go now… See you tomorrow.”
He said and walked away.
Serenity sighed and walked towards the railing. With this condition she is sure that these rituals will affect her, but has no idea how bad it’s going to be.
“I hope it ends soon”
As soon as she said those words, she slipped from her place and lost balance. She gasped and fell from the building.
She opened her eyes and found herself falling down.
