Hold on….
What did you just say? She’s from Earth?” King Damien asked not believing his ears.
“Yes. The woman she’s living with (Sylvia) confessed to me when i threatened her. She’s from Earth” Queen Allysia stated as Alexa felt her heat skipped.
Her doom is here!
She can’t escape!
Alexa’s hands began to vibrate… She began to sweat profusely as King Damien glared at her.
Alexa’s gaze met with Prince Bryan and from the look of things, he wasen’t shocked. He was behaving like someone who has heard the news before.
“I…I…I…” Alexa wanted to speak but ran short of words.
Her lips was shaking fastly and she felt like someone whose gonna pass out any sooner.
“You’re from Earth!” King Damien said, glaring at Alexa and she nodded in affirmative.
“What!!” King Damien exclaimed and stood up.
“What brought you to Atlancia?” King Damien asked in a thunderous voice.
“Nothing, absolutely nothing your highness” Alexa replied sharply.
“Ynu idi©t!” King Damien growled angrily.
“Tell me why you come to Atlancia now” King Damien yelled and stare at Prince Bryan.
He was giving her a Do-not-talk look.
Her gaze went back to King Damien who was glaring at her angrily.
“Nothing your highness” Alexa stated and King Damien almost slapped her when Prince Bryan got hold off him.
“Dad, please take it easy on her” Prince Bryan said and let go off him.
“Honey, There’s no need for you to stress yourself, i already know why she came” Queen Allysia stated.
“She was sent by her people to spy on us” Queen Allysia stated and Erica and Prince Bryan stood up.
“Mom, that’s a lie. I don’t believe you” Erica stated.
“She can’t be a spy. Girls don’t know how to spy, boys are good for the job not boys” Prince Bryan stated but King Damien wasn’t paying attention to the both of them.
“A spy! Oh i see” Damien exclaimed.
“Sir, that’s a lie, i’m not…”
“Shut the trap!” King Damien growled and Alexa kept mute.
“I’m sure you already knows the penalty of any Earth citizen who is found on Atlancia, that person is gonna be beheaded by me” King Damien pointed out and bunch of happiness ran through Queen Allysia.
“But i’m gonna reduce your punishment for the fact that you rescued my daughter from the Kidnappers.” King Damien peeved while Alexa, Erica and Bryan smiled.
“You have just three days to leave Atlancia but if you’re still found in Atlancia after three days, your punishment would be worst than this” King Damien announced as Erica hugged her father.
“Thanks Dad” Erica said, beaming with smiles.
“Thank you so much dad, you’re such a wise King” Prince Bryan complimented.
Allysia was a little bit annoyed but she like the idea that the thorn in the flesh would finally go and leave Bryan alone.
“Thank you my King. can i ask for a favour please?” Alexa asked, politely as she stood up.
“Do you think because we lessen your punishment you now have the right to ask us for a favour?” Queen Allysia remarked, wishing she could strangle her to death right now.
“I Didn’t ask you to talk” King Damien cut her off and turned to Allysia.
“What favour?” King Damien asked.
“Please can you spare Mrs. Sylvia? She was scared i was gonna die so she had no choice than to accomodate me, please” Alexa said, placing her two palms together.
“Can you see the rubbish that is coming out from her mouth? Can you? Is it…” Queen Allysia couldn’t complete her statement when King Damien cutted in.
“Can you please remain shut for once” King Damien cutted in.
“I’ll see what i can do corcerning that but i’m not sure about it. You guys can leave now” he pointed out as everyone dismissed from the palace.

“Heartbeat, why didn’t you tell me in the first place that you were from Earth?” Prince Bryan quired.
“I’m sorry for the inconvienence, i was just scare you might leave me” Alexa stated.
“Oh c’mmon, you know i can never do that. My love for you is onconditional. Racism is not my thing” Bryan said sincerely.
“I Love you Bryan. And i’m gonna miss you so much” Alexa said and pulled Bryan into a hug.
“Please i need something from you before i go back to Earth. Please” Alexa said.
“The calf of perliana right?” Bryan asked.
“Yeah. How did you know about it?
“I over heard your discussion with Erica back then Pedro’s house” Bryan said.
“Geez!” Alexa exclaimed.
***********************
Sylvia sat lonely in the dungeon, regreting all what she did. She regrets ever talking to Alexa in the first place, She regret ever accomodating Alexa into her home, she regreted ever letting her come to the palace.
She regreted all what she did.
“Oh Alexa, i hate you! I hate you! You’re such a betrayal!!” Sylvia yelled, hitting her hand on the floor.
Almost immediately, a gaurd walked in and Sylvia quickly stood up.
The gaurd opened the cell and Sylvia’s face puzzled.
“The King asked me to release you” the gaurd said and Sylvia gasped.
“Huh, are you serious?” Sylvia asked not believing her ears.
“Yeah.. According to the king, Alexa pleaded on your behalf for you to be released” the gaurd stated and Sylvia chuckled.
“Alexa, i thought she’s gonna be beheaded” Sylvia said.
“Well, there are some changes in the palace now. I don’t really know but you need to thank Alexa because she saved your ass.
“I Don’t need to thank her. She got me into this mess and she needs to get me out of the mess” Sylvia snapped in and walked out of the cell.
***********************
Master Zain could be seen in his chambers smoking from the pipe when an old woman entered.
T he same old woman who gave Alexa the magic book.
Her face was crumbled with a frown as she walked in.
“Greetings, Master Zain” The old woman bowed.
As usual, he didn’t reply her, He kept a cold look.
“My lord, i have a complaint” She said.
“The people of ‘Fell Hills’ is really suffering alot in the hand of the priest. What do we do?” The old woman asked.
“Alexa is coming back in the next three days, she’ll be the one to take freedom back to their land” Alexa replied coldly.
