Chapter 45: The divine figure

Magnus pulled out the chair for him and settled on it. It was his first time seeing Gloria and realized that she was quite old, probably in her late eighties.

"I thought only Prince Magnus would come," Gloria said as she placed her both on the table. All her ten fingers were covered in the various stone rings.

"I thought not to let my brother go alone," Izaak replied.

"I heard Prince Magnus can look into Alora’s eyes," Gloria asserted. "Is he here to ask me about that?" she queried.

"Yes. Also, why does Alora have such eyes?" Magnus queried.

"I tried to find out about it long ago– When the rumors began about a human being born with eyes that could burn anyone," Gloria truthfully told him.

"What about now? Can’t you find it now?" Magnus inquired.

"I tried the day His Majesty sent me the message. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything. But I got the sight of a woman, who didn’t seem to be a human. It was someone divine," Gloria pronounced. "I couldn’t make a communication with her."

Izaak was surprised to learn that Magnus’s guess was right.

"Do you think attempts were made to kill Alora?" Magnus asked.

"I think so. But I never heard any such cases, except the one in which she was attacked in her journey to Elmswood," Gloria answered.

"We still couldn’t find the appropriate reason behind that attack," Magnus stated.

"Will Prince Magnus give me his hands?" Gloria humbly asked.

He forwarded his hands on her request. She grabbed them and closed her eyes. While mumbling some words, which were not understandable to both the vampire princes.

Gloria shook her head and her brows frowned as she saw something. Opening her eyes, she let go of Magnus’s hands. "Did Prince Magnus ever meet Alora before?" she queried.

"No," Magnus refused.

"He did. I saw him saving her life," Gloria answered.

"I saved her only in Elmswood," Magnus replied.

"No. You have met Alora when she was young. I saw it. You must have forgotten about it," she explained to him.

"Why can only Magnus look in her eyes? Are they fated to be with each other? What do you think about this?" Izaak inquired.

"The divine figure whom I saw is the only one who can give the right answer on this," Gloria asserted. She didn’t wish to say anything without any confirmation.

Before heading out of the residence, Magnus had made sure to pick the sketch of the woman, which Rhea helped the artist draw. He took it out and opened it before placing it on the table.

"Was this the divine woman you saw?" Magnus queried.

Gloria looked at the sketch keenly and nodded her head. "Yes. This was the divine figure, whom I saw," she confirmed.

"So, I need to find this woman," Magnus stated and folded the paper.

"How will His Highness find a divine woman?" Gloria questioned.

"I won’t find her. She will come to me," Magnus replied. He thanked Gloria for her time and for being truthful to him. "We shall take our leave," he stated and left his seat.

"If I find something related to Alora, I’ll inform the prince about it," Gloria stated.

"Sure," Magnus said and exited the room.

"Do you think my brother’s life fall in danger if he keeps Alora with him?" Izaak asked with a worried glance.

"I cannot tell the future, Prince Izaak," Gloria clarified to him.

"Hmm. Thank you for your time," Izaak said and left the Trident. Upon reaching outside, he entered the same carriage in which Magnus was already present.

"We found nothing useful," Izaak muttered.

"I cannot remember when I met Alora. Gloria didn’t let me see through her mind," Magnus answered.

"Perhaps you met her when she was a child. Wait! You returned to Velaris after thirty years," Izaak affirmed.

"Yes. That’s the question. Even if I came in between, I never encountered any child. I never stepped into any human colony," Magnus affirmed while furrowing his brows together.

Alora couldn’t sleep right after having her dinner. She decided to practice writing the alphabet and did it for an hour. Tired, she put the quill pen down for some time and looked at the shelves filled with numerous books.

Alora stood up from her place and went to one of the shelves. She took out a random old book, which was certainly heavy. Bringing it to the desk, she cleaned the dust from it and opened it.

"Your Highness, it’s the time you should go to bed," Tobias suggested as he entered the study room while keeping his eyes low.

"I’m unable to sleep. I will wait for the Prince to return," Alora replied.

"Certainly. However, Your Highness, I’ll be scolded for not asking you to go to bed. It will take some more hours to return," Tobias opined.

"Okay." Alora closed the book and picked up the blindfold. She donned her eyes with it and turned to Tobias. "Please help me go to my chamber," she requested.

Tobias lifted his eyes and asked the maidservant with her to support Alora in walking. While heading to her chamber, Alora asked Tobias, "Is there a graveyard nearby?"

He was perplexed by that question. "No, Your Highness," Tobias answered.

Alora hummed and recalled how she would see the graveyard repeatedly in her dreams. She felt it was somewhere in the palace, but now, Tobias refused to do it, so she didn’t ask further.

"Why did Her Highness ask about a graveyard?" Tobias questioned.

"I was curious to know," Alora replied.

Tobias found it weird, but he ignored it simply thinking it was truly Alora’s inquisitiveness. She was escorted to her chamber soon. The maidservant made sure Alora would go to bed before leaving the bedroom.

Alora tossed and turned on the bed since she found it difficult to sleep. Her thoughts were on Venus as she was worried for her. "I hope she doesn’t turn into a werewolf," she murmured.
