Chapter 19: A LETTER TO LADY ENYA ( 1 )

Enya sat in her room reading her favourite book, the history of Lady Lola.

She has just finished taking her bath and wanted to have some rest.

Lord Rodriguez has been quit busy since morning to cover up things he wasn’t able to do while still at Pendamour.

So she decided not to bother him until later in the night.

It’s been two days now, she hasn’t practice her archery. She had spent those days studying both in and outside of the castle walls.

Even reading books about the Brok and it’s existence. Now, she has to visit Lady Lola’s history again.

Each time she reads through the lines of the book, it motivates her and gives her reasons why she must move on with her Great great-grandmother’s legacy.

” Joana!” She called in her maid who was standing outside her room.

” Yes, My Lady.” She answered, shutting the door after her. ” You called me.”

” Yes, I did. I heard there is a field in the castle, is it true?” She asked.

” Yes, and I can show you to the place if you want.”

” Yes, please. But first, call Jonah for me, I must see him now.”

” Yes, my princess.” She said, leaving at once in search for Jonah.

Jonah was at the blacksmith shop. He spends most of his time there and few of his time in the castle.

That’s only at night. He wasn’t cool with the royal lifestyles and building, he prefers the normal life he always lived.

” Sir Jonah.” She called as she got closer. ” The princess wishes to see you. You must come quickly.”

” Is there a problem?” He asked, worried.

” No, of course not. Please follow me.” He followed her behind as they got to the castle, to Enya’s room.

Joana first entered to inform Enya that he was outside. ” He is here, My Lady.” She informed.

” Please, send him in.” She said.

” You can come in.” She told him and he came in.

” My Lady,” he addressed, bowing his head. ” You sent for me. “

” Yes, I did. ” She drops the book in her table. ” And it’s about our training… my training. I was wondering if it will be possible to continue it here in Brok. What do you think?” She inquired for his opinion.

” Whatever her Highness decides, I will follow.”

” Well, I have made up my mind to begin today. I heard there’s a field, not too far from the castle. Joana, my maid will take us there.

We will see it, and if it is good, we will use it for my training.” Turns to Joana. ” Take us there.”

” My Lady, I thought it would be better if you had train in the archery field.”

” There is a field for archery?” She asked, surprised.

” Yes. If I had known it was archery you talked about, I wouldn’t have mentioned the other field.”

” Okay. That would be nicer. Take us there, quickly. I must see what it looks like. Let’s go.”

Joana led the way as they walked to the field. Enya was in a haste to see what it looks like.

Is it bigger? Does it looks too beautiful?? She was more than desperate.

They finally got to the place, and Enya couldn’t stop from gasping at the gorgeous wide land and the boards and equipments for archery all assembled there.

Like it was a different school in the castle. Arrows and bows were arranged according to sizes and heights.

” This is the place, my princess.”

” Wow, this is so beautiful. ” Looks at Joana. ” Can His Majesty shoot an arrow? Does he practice too?”

” Yes, but he does it rarely. Ever since he started ruling, he hardly comes here.”

” Okay. ” She looked at the sky. ” It’s still morning, we have more than enough time to train. We must start now.”

PENDAMOUR~ IN THE CASTLE ~

Arwen has finally made up her mind to send the letter, it would be better to spoil Enya’s mood than to let Anna hurt her.

She insert the letter into the small paper bag on her bird.

She went to the window, lifting it high and pushing it to fly. ” Go benneth until we meet again,” she said bitterly to her bird.

Exhaling heavily, she muttered. ” I hope this gets to you, sister. I hope Anna understands her mistake.” She sighed again. ” Be safe for me, Enya, be safe.”

~ KINGDOM BROK ~

While Enya was training, one of the maids came with a white bird in her hand. Arwen’s bird.

She came to inform Enya that there was a message from Pendamour.

As soon as she told her, Enya handed her bow to Jonah. She knew who had written the letter, she’s been awaiting it for days.

Taking hold of the bird, she took the letter from it’s bag, unfolding it.

« Dear Enya;…….. »

She started reading, from the start on how every thing had started.

How Anna grew envious of her the very day Lord Rodriguez had proclaimed his bride and what she planned.

Though she explained she wasn’t sure yet about what Anna’s plans were, but she let her know that she was in danger.

Not also forgetting the part where she heard the strange voice in Anna’s room, and her guess for it to be a sorceress.

She also told her about the day she had left to Brok, why she refused to let her meet Anna.

All this she read, tears involuntarily left her eyes. Arwen promised to write more if she learns of any thing new.

She had sworn to help her and save her from whatever it is Anna was up to. She also warned Enya not to have it reported to anyone until she finds out who it was that Anna was talking to…

And what she is up to…

Enya folded it back, inserting it inside her dress. She took countless breaths to calm herself down.

She never believed it. She never expected Anna to have changed so sudden.

Not to the extent of visiting a witch. Why? Why would she want to end her life so soon?

Why would this be happening to her??

Lord Rodriguez has promised to wed her in the next two days, will she be alive until then?

” I’m sorry, let’s continue this tomorrow.” She said in a shaky tone, leaving back to the castle.

Jonah and Joana stared at each other, ” I’m sorry for the disturbance.” Joana apologized on Enya’s behalf, following after her.

” Wait.” He said and she stopped. ” Give it to Her Highness.”

She took it from him, ” I will.”

Enya had already started crying even before she could make it to her room. She pushed the door open, banging it after her.

She quickly locked it even before the running Joanna could make it.

” My Lady… Please, open the door.”

” Joana, please go, I am not in the mood to talk to anyone. Please, understand me.” She forced herself to sound normal, but it was in her voice.

One could feel the pains, the hurt, burning in those once sweet voice.

Joana thought of where to keep the bow, so she decided to keep it in her room.

But while she left to her room, Rodriguez was coming from the opposite direction.

She stopped to bow at him. ” Who owns the bow?” He asked.

” It’s the princess.” She answered.

” Has she gone to the field?”

” Yes, but she is in her room now.”

” Is there a problem?” He asked, sensing one.

” I don’t know, but I think so.” Joana knew giving him that reply will prompt him to go to her room. ” You can not see her, My Lord.” She said

” And why is that?” He questioned.

” Because she is in a solidarity mood. She wishes to be alone.”
