“all 12?”

She asked and someone yelled xilver’s name from behind. There were total of 8 people behind him near the garden gates, with two little girls waving their hands high up in the air. They all had their eyes widened in surprise and ran over to hug eloria but since she was already exhausted she thought

“please no more hugs.”

It was just her thought but they literally appeared back at the garden doors. Severus burst out laughing when he saw the nine of them appearing at the garden doors again and again and yelled at them

“your only allowed to enter if you don’t hug her, her highness is already tired so mind your manners, will you all?”

They all frowned but in a second, their back heads felt as if someone smacked them and cried in pain. A lady, with same hair as severus but eyes with a deeper velvet red appeared and walked over to eloria. With her right hand on her sword and her eyes locked right into eloria’s, she knelt with her head down in a blink. The rest 8 stood behind her as the lady spoke

“representing to her majesty, the sun and moon of iliakós and Νύχτα, we greet you general empress kyra.”

They all knelt down with their heads down when she had finished speaking. Maeve, severus, as well as xilver were kneeling down right infront of her too. When she saw them all like that, the lady from before appeared in her mind as a memory flashed through her eyes. This scene felt similar as the eloria from her dreams whispered in her ears like the blowing wind

“they’re your people, so treat them like your slaves for they are bound to you by blood and soul, eloria.”

She looked down at them and stayed quiet for a moment then opened her mouth a little, saying

“rise your heads my children, for the wonders of the two lands never kneel before a frail girl.”

The lady who was infront of the rest stood up first, then did the others behind her and eloria smiled warmly

“Well then, whose going to show me to my room?”

The door opened as the brightness of room blinded eloria’s eyes. When her sight got clear, her jaw dropped. Right infront of her was one of those huge fancy rooms in the manhwa’s she’d read. A huge bedroom, with curtains surrounding it and large windows to view the entire palace. Luxourious sofa with the walls being covered in book shelfs that went higher then the clouds. The ceiling wasn’t normal either, it was the real night galaxy up there with crystals and gems as decoration pieces.

“well then, ill be resting for a while so please don’t disturb me.”

She turned back and smiled then closed the door right in their faces, and fell down, leaning on the door.

“what in the world is going on…”
