“Kidding me?” Bryan asked not believing his mom.
“If you think i’m lying, ask her where she comes from if when she returns from wherever she went” Queen Allysia snapped in and walked away.
“Is she joking or what?” Bryan asked no one in particular.
“But hold on…. What if it’s true? What if Alexa i from earth?”
Oh God! What would be his fate? How would he react if he eventually finds out that Alexa is from Earth?
Will he still love her?
Will they seperate?
Will King Damien behead Alexa?
Those thoughts kept running in his head.
As he walked past the garden, she met one of the maids passing by.
“Hey; excuse me, have you seen Alexa today?” Bryan asked as the maid stop walking and faced him.
“My Prince, Um… I saw her early this morning rushing out of the compound so i quickly followed her because i was suspicious with her walk.
I Peeped at her through the gate and saw her enter a cab” The maid narrated.
“Did you eavesdrop on where she was heading to?” Bryan asked further.
“Yeah. It was 14, St. Patrick street” the maid said and Bryan furrowed his brows.
“That must be Pedro’s house if i’m not mistaken” Bryan said and gasped.
“Sorry?” the maid said.
“I’ll take my leave now. Thanks for the information” Bryan said and scurried away.
“You’re welcome” the maid said but Bryan was already gone.
“Hmm, Alexa is so lucky to have someone like him” the maid said and walked away.
Bryan came out of the palace compound and spotted a cab close to the palace.
He quickly stop it and hoped into the cab.
“14, St. Patrick Street” Bryan said and the car zoomed off.
***********************
Alexa and Erica could be seen at the garden discussing.
“Thanks for saving me once again” Erica said sincerely.
“It’s fine Erica. I want you to do me a favour” Alexa peeved.
“What’s that?” Erica asked and and arched her brows.
“I Want you to keep this as a secret between us. I want the both of us to be the only one who knows that we have Magical powers. Don’t let anyone knows, not even your mum” Alexa stated.
“Okay. But why?” Erica asked.
“There’s a lot you need to know about magic. Don’t worry, i’ll teach you how to control the four elements and also give you the book of Magic so you can understand more about it” Alexa stated.
“Thanks. But I’m curious, like how did i become a Magician all of a sudden?” Erica asked and Alexa sighed.
“I Wish i could answer that, Erica, I know nothing about it. I’m also suprised and confused just you are” Alexa professed.
“It’s okay. I understand” Erica said.
“Remember our pinky promise, do not let anyone know that the both of us have some magicial powers, okay?” Alexa reminded.
“Okay”
“So, can we go now? Bryan must have been looking for me” Alexa said and Erica shot her a suspicious stare.
“Don’t tell me Bryan is your friend” Erica said.
“Well, we’re dating and i love him so much!” Alexa blasted and Erica jumped up in excitement.
“Yippee!!” She screamed in happiness and hugged Alexa tight.
“I Knew it! I knew that my brother is gonna make a wise choice” Erica beamed.
“Of course, he did” Alexa said as giggled.
They disengaged from the hug.
They walked and got to the gate and when she was about to open, Erica asked her a question.
“What about your family? Has my brother met them?” Erica mouted, with a smile.
“I Don’t have a family. The truth of the matter is that I’m from Earth.” Alexa stated and Erica covered her mouth in shock.
“What the he.ck!! You’re from Earth?” Erica asked, not believing her ears.
“I am” she replied, trying to hold her tears.
“Do you know the cause of what you’re doing? Do you know the disadvantages for coming here? You’re gonna be killed if you get caught” Erica said, still in shock.
“I Know. That’s why i’ve been cautios. Erica, please don’t hate me. Apart from Sylvia and you, no one knows i’m from Earth” Alexa pleaded.
“I Can’t hate you. Infact, i still love you but you know it’s gonna be risky if you continue living here in Atlancia” Erica remarked.
“Thanks so much. I won’t be spending enough time here in Atlancia. If i get what i came her for, i’ll leave” Alexa said.
“What do you came here for?” Erica asked.
“To get the calf of perliana. My father is sick so i had to travel here so i can get the calf of perliana and heal him” Alexa said.
“I Don’t know anything about that. Maybe, Bryan might know about the calf you’re talking about…. But why don’t you tell him that you’re from Earth?” Erica asked.
“I’m afriad he might hate me” Alexa said and sniffled while Erica held her palm.
“I Trust my brother. He’ll still love you no matter what. Just tell him when he’s on a good mood. Please” Erica instructed.
“I’ll try my best” Alexa said and opened the door.
They came out of the building and faced the road.
“Your parents promised to grant the wish of anyone who’s able to bring you back to the palace so now that i’ve saved you and we’re heading to the palace, what do you think i should ask for?” Alexa asked.
“Really? That so lovely but First of all, what do you have in mind?”
“Um. I’m thinking if i ask them for the calf of perliana” Alexa stated.
“Gosh! What if they ask you what you wanna use it for? They might suspect you’re from earth” Erica said.
“Okay. So what wish do you think i should ask?” Alexa asked.
“Does my parents approve the relationship between you and my bro?” Erica asked.
“Not at all” Alexa replied.
“Then, ask them to approve of the relationship and allow the both of you to get married” Erica professed while Alexa arched her brows.
“I’ll think about it” Alexa said and stop a taxi.
***********************
Bryan came out of his hiding place as soon as the taxi carrying Alexa and Erica left.
He overheard their discussion and was very hearkbroken.
“So it was true. She’s really from Earth. Oh God! I Can’t take this” Bryan said and bursted into tears.
“She came her for a purpose. God! What will father do to her? I’m sure by now Mom might have told Dad about it” Bryan whimpered.
“Who cares?” Bryan suddenly cleaned his tears.
“Racism is not my business. I don’t care if she’s from Earth. I still love her and i’ll do within my power to keep her safe, give her the calf of perliana and follow her back to Earth. Yes! I’ll do just that to make her happy” Byran concluded and entered a taxi, heading to the palace.
