“Hey you!, Why are you staring at her that way?” Tracy yelled, disrupting Daisy’s thought.
“Erm…I…I mean…” Daisy stuttered, not knowing how to answer the princess.
“Whatever! Just shut up. Now, go and prepare a room for my friend, make sure to do an impressive job else I will deal with you.” Tracy threatened.
“Yes, her Majesty,” Daisy bowed and flew away.
********Somewhere in the cave*******
Beatrice gasped in shock as she saw a familiar figure via her magical mirror, it couldn’t be. The figure looked a lot like Daisy, but she couldn’t say it was Daisy because she couldn’t see the face of the person as the lady stood facing the princess backing her mirror. She saw the princess speak harshly to the lady, while the lady in return bowed in respect. Beatrice adjusted uncomfortable on her chair as the lady made to turn, unfortunately at the same moment something fell, and her attention got divided.
Beatrice flew to the direction where the noise came from, and it turned out to be a spoon that fell, she picked it up and placed it at the appropriate position, but before she would turn back, the lady already left.
“Stupid spoon!” She cursed loudly. What if that lady was Daisy? No! She killed Daisy a few days after she killed the queen. Daisy couldn’t be alive, no! It was all her imagination.
She used her magical powers to create the wounds that were on Agnes body, it will be difficult for anyone to discover it was a fake wound. Agnes’s life solely depended on her completion of the mission: if she fails, she dies. Moreover, Agnes was just an orphan whom she rescued ten years ago when she found her severely wounded in the mountains. She (Agnes) was thrown out of the house by her stepmother after a thorough beating, she managed to drag herself up and kept walking to avoid her stepmother seeing her around. She walked a long distance and when she got to the mountain, she couldn’t go further, then she blacked out.

The seer stood outside at the back of his cave staring into the sky, he seemed to be in a very deep thought. He had only told the king one side of the prophecy or message given to him to relay to the royal house. The reason was because, the other part of the prophecy was confusing and something he had never heard of before.
“How could the fairy who will possess all the elements of the earth become a Alpha Wolf’s Luna?
Was that a joke? Because it seemed really like a joke?
He has been a seer for a hundred years now, and he has never heard anything this strange before.
A sweat broke on his face, he wasn’t convinced what he saw was right, but he had never seen a wrong future occurrence before.
How was he going to relay this to the king?
“Great one! His Majesty is here to see you,” A servant announced, distorting these deep thoughts.
He panicked! Why was the King seeking for him?
He met the king, sited comfortable inside his cave. Yes! He lived in the cave, and he also had two male servants who worked and lived with him.
“Your majesty!” He exclaimed and bowed to the king, while the king smiled and nodded in response to his obeisance.
“Old friend!” The king spoke as he gestured to the seer to take a seat close to him.
They had been best of friends since childhood, even before the king was crowned.
“What brings you here, Your Majesty?” The seer asked with a very calm expression, although inwardly he was in a panic.
“Firstly, I came to see you, it’s been a long time. Secondly, I want to ask you how we could find that special fairy who will possess the four elements of the earth,” The king explained straightforwardly.
The seer sighed a very audible sigh.
“Sabastine, I have been well, and I see you have also been well. The protector of nature and our kind has been fair to us both,” Gaius the seer said with a slight smile.
Their conversation had been on going in an awkward way and Gaius decided to ease the tension, he knew his friend was worried about the prophecy and has been on alert ever since he told him about it.
“I thought you weren’t going to drop the formality,” Sabastine said, and laughed genuinely.
“Please! Gaius, who is she and where can we find her?” Sabastine pleaded.
“She is right close to you! Very close to you!”
“If she is close to me, then tell me who she is?”
“Ariella!” Gaius dropped the bombshell.
The King froze.

Tracy let Agnes stay in her room. Everyone at the palace was in awe at how warm Tracy was to Agnes. One would have mistaken Agnes to be her best friend, had they not known how she came into the palace.
“Breakfast is served, Missy! Let’s go to the dining.” Tracy spoke with a bright smile, for the first time in a long while. Tracy came personally to invite Agnes, who still relaxing on the bed, over to breakfast.
Agnes returned the smile to Tracy. Agnes was beyond happy that her plan to get close to Tracy was working. Firstly, she planted a seed of hatred in Tracy’s heart against her sister. And now, she was going to bring her to her mistress.
Agnes wanted to tell Tracy about her mistress but decided to save it for later, after breakfast.
“Let me quickly freshen up, you know I cannot come before the king smelling like trash,” Agnes told Tracy and headed to the bathroom, while Tracy smiled and left for the dining.
Agnes walked through the hallway, smiling brightly at all the maids who bowed to her. She felt so important and valued that she almost forgot she was on a mission.
“Ahhh!….” Agnes yelped when she suddenly felt surges of electricity on her body as she bumped into someone.
Agnes raised her head to look at who it was, and she was met with eyes staring daggers at her. If eyes could kill, she would have dead at that spot immediately.
“Who are you?” The lady Agnes bumped into asked, staring deeply into her eyes. Agnes felt very uncomfortable. Every other person she had come across since she came into the palace was nice to her, but the lady standing in front of her was different.
The electrical shock she had felt in her body was on another level, and she couldn’t explain it. Agnes just couldn’t pinpoint what was happening to her at that moment – her tongue felt tied, her legs felt glued to the floor; she couldn’t help it.
“I don’t like you! Go back where you came from, please!” The lady continued looking disdainfully at her.
“And what gives you the right to say that to my guest? You slave!” Tracy stepped in, saving Agnes from that awkward moment.
Tracy waited for Agnes, and when she saw no sign of her, she went searching for her, peradventure, she had lost her way around the palace, only to meet this nobody speaking rudely to her guest.
“Oh! Here you are, Daisy!” A soft voice that belonged to Ariella spoke, and the trio turned to her direction.
“Daisy.” Agnes recalled her name inwardly.
