Chapter 139 – Peril
"Yes, you can call me that way, My dear Princess." Peril said in a soothing manner but it still sent alarming signals to the princess.
Andrea took a deep breath and added "Okay Peril, I will come straight to the matter. You said you are will help me. How are you going to do?"
Peril looked at Princess as he is looking straight into her soul, "Princess, What if I say that you can awaken your blood?"
Andrea's eyes widened with shock, the shock would be an understatement to her. She never heard anything about this, her mother nor father never told her that a woman also will awaken their blood, this concept is new to her.
"W-What do you mean?" Andrea asked with bewilderment.
"That is what I meant princess," Peril smiled which is not seen by others but his eyes turned crescent making the others think that he is smiling.
Andrea is lost in thoughts, thousands of questions are running in her brain and her thoughts are all in mess. She looked at the person in front of her, he reeks of danger but a part of her mind is telling her to take this opportunity to get her revenge but another part is warning her to which extent her revenge matters to make a deal with the person in front of her.
"What do you want in return? And how are you going to do? I want to know the process before agreeing to your request." Andrea looked at him with wariness and stated her demands.
Peril seemed to be amused by her questions and added "I thought you are good for nothing but, you too have brains princess."
Andrea got annoyed by his words but she dared not argue with him, "I want something in return but that I will ask after I fulfill your request. Don't worry I won't ask for your body or anything like that. In fact, I am least interested in it."
Andrea faced turned dark with anger, to the princess who is flaunting her body and face to the world as her best asset, this is the greatest insult but in front of this person, she dare not to disobey him. She doesn't know the consequences.
"I required time," Andrea stated, she don't want to take action immediately. She remembers the words said by her servant and she has to be careful around him.
Peril nodded his head and added "Sure, take your time Princess. Till then goodbye." He stood up and pulled his hood down and turned around causing his robe to flutter in the air giving him a mysterious aura.
After he left Andrea slumped back in the seat and her forehead is covered with perspiration, dealing with this person took all of her energy.
That night Gavon and Ethan had a discussion about the matter he received from their well-wisher. Gavon and Ethan locked themselves in the Lyo room, it is best to have a talk in this room to not raise any suspicion if someone is spying on them.
"Ethan, I have something important to tell you." Gavon started and his voice contain the graveness of the situation. Ethan understood the severity of the situation while looking at Gavon's face, he nodded his head without saying anything.
Gavon started speaking about the changes he started observing in his body from the last few days, he used to didn't bother about the itchiness, his body heat rise, his blood flow, and so on but after that incident in the cave, he understood that those symptoms are the reasons for his outbreak.
Ethan listened to his words calmly but when he heard the most crucial point where he kicked Achrel and his body turned into pieces made he lost control. He looked at Gavon with a surprised and shocked expression.
"H-How is that possible? Gavon, are you sure about this?" Ethan asked again to make sure.
Gavon sighed seeing the unbelievable expression on Ethan's face, "Of course, It is still vivid in my mind. At that time I felt something is trying to take control over me, I used to restrict those feelings earlier but at that time due to my helplessness and the desire to save Ivy let my emotions outbreak, and the whole room is filled with light, it is also coming from me. Ethan, what do you think about this?"
Ethan didn't have any words to say, he is having a hard time digesting those words. "G-Gavon are you perhaps some kind of magician? Or an angel? Or demi-god? Or God? Or do you possess some supernatural powers??"
Gavon was stunned by his words, he thought Ethan will take this in some other way and tried to distance himself from him because suddenly the people he is close with have some unnatural changes which will freak them out. But here Ethan is cracking jokes on his condition which in return made Gavon's mind at ease.
"No, Ethan. Think seriously." Gavon pinched the skin between his brows to soothe his pain.
"Okay, I am serious. Think if you have any other scenarios like this, where you feel this kind of emotions or something which is beyond human powers." Ethan probed.
Gavon also gave it a thought and after thinking for some time he remembered a few things, he looked at Ethan and said hurriedly "Yes, I remember now. Ethan, I saw the future."
"What?"
"Yes, but the future is all about Ivy. I saw the scene where Ivy was hurt in the banquet, that is the reason I attended the banquet. After that, I saw her being tied in the cave which came true when Achrel abducted Ivy." Gavon stated he is also having a hard time believing all of his words. At that time he thought that it is just a dream but for the safer side, he took an action, last time when he went in search of Ivy he felt some kind of deja vu, now he understood that it is not only deja vu he actually saw that.
Ethan took a deep breath and added "Gavon, don't take this in the wrong way but we have to find your family. I guess if we found someone from your family we might get solutions for this. And earlier I talked about magic and all right, it might be possible because we are in the Kingdom where the dragons are controlled by the spells, where the Drackston bloodline will summon dragons. If all these are happening the things which I mentioned about you might be possible."
Ethan looked at Gavon directly into his eyes and added "We have to find your family."
Gavon went towards the window to get the fresh air to clear his mind, he never thought of going back to his family, he didn't try to look for him. He doesn't know whether he hates them or because of the fear that they won't acknowledge him. Whatever the reason might be he doesn't want to know about them but now he has to look for them.
After a few minutes of silence, he looked at Ethan and nodded his head to which Ethan smiled. "And one more thing Ethan, I got a message from our well-wisher."
Ethan becomes serious again, "He seems to know about my situation and warns me that someone in the palace is aware of my situation. They will surely come for me."
Ethan's mind started working again, he become alerted with the news and looked at Gavon "Gavon, it seems we have to fasten our process, I will look into the palace records when you are taken into the palace and sent people to search in your hometown. Until then avoid going to the palace as much as you can."
Gavon nodded and added "Sure, I am planning to do so. And he also mentioned me to go and meet a person in Arcane Village."
"Why?" Ethan's brows knitted in confusion.
"I am not sure, I will go and meet this person." Gavon declared.
Ethan nodded his head, he went towards him and patted his shoulder "Be careful Gavon and talk with Ivy. I don't know why you are avoiding her but after this, you have to speak with her at least.. Tell her about your feelings."
