Chapter 48: Leave his life soon

Alora fidgeted with her fingers as she awaited for the Queen to come.

"Why do you look scared?" Magnus asked, placing his hand above hers.

"What if the Queen Mother scolds me for being late?" She wanted to come to the palace as soon as she had gotten ready, but Magnus didn’t let her leave until she had her breakfast.

"Mother won’t do that," Magnus said while being confident. "She knows we are newlyweds," he murmured.

"That sounds like an excuse," Alora replied.

"How is it an excuse? We are newlyweds. We need time to explore more about each other," Magnus whispered in a teasing tone, his lips brushing her earlobe.

She pushed him away gently. "Please don’t start here. What if Queen Mother sees us?" Alora complained in a low voice.

"She isn’t around," Magnus remarked mischievously as he leaned in to kiss her, taking advantage of her blindfold.

"Your Highness!" Alora exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand in mock indignation. She quickly moved away from him, even though her eyes were covered. Despite her blindfold, she could sense the smile playing on Magnus’s lips after teasing her.

"Why did you move away?" Magnus inquired, moving towards her again. Alora felt his presence and instinctively retreated once more.

But how long could she escape him? She felt the sofa armrest hitting her back. "His Highness should stop teasing me," Alora said when she felt his fingers on her chin.

"If you won’t run away, I will," Magnus whispered teasingly.

"Where could I possibly run away to?" Alora murmured.

"Anywhere. You’re quite good at running," Magnus replied with a playful smile.

Alora placed her hands on his chest, gently chiding him to show some restraint in the Queen’s chamber.

"The Queen is here," a servant’s announcement interrupted them, prompting Alora to stand up, keeping her head low as Magnus leisurely rose to his feet.

"I can see my son is quite delighted these days," Queen Margaret said and spread her arms out.

Magnus approached her to hug her. She caressed his back and shortly pulled away. "Alora makes me smile all the time. She is quite at it," he told his mother.

"I can see that." Margaret went to her and held Alora’s hands. "Did you adjust well here?" she asked.

"Yes, I did, Your Majesty," Alora promptly answered.

Margaret embraced her, leaving Alora astonished. She thought the Queen didn’t like her since she was a human. She felt warm feeling the love from Magnus’s mother too.

"Have a seat, Alora," Margaret softly asked her and went back to sit at her place. She rested her both hands on the armrests of the sofa chair and settled on it comfortably.

Alora had her hands clasped tightly. "I apologize for not being on time, Your Majesty. I didn’t know the Queen Mother wanted to see me yesterday. Had I known this, I would have seen her first before going to my sister’s marriage." She felt she should apologize for making the Queen wait for her.

"It’s alright. I have no complaint regarding that," Margaret replied.

"So, why did Mother want to see Alora?" Magnus queried.

"Can Prince Magnus leave us for a while?" Queen Margaret asked. "I would like to talk with Alora in private," she stated.

Magnus didn’t object to that. However, he warned his mother not to threaten or scare Alora. "It may upset me if you do that, Mother," he stated with a stern and left the chamber.

Once Magnus left, the Queen decided to resume her conversation with Alora.

"It is strange for everyone that only Magnus can look into your eyes," Margaret pronounced. "The King and I consulted a few knowledgeable people, who know about curses. We are concerned that you may become a threat to our kind. I mean the royals," she asserted.

Alora furrowed her brows together, feeling upset to learn that. "I will never do something which may cause anyone to lose their lives," she stated.

"You don’t know what circumstances become in the future, Alora," Margaret affirmed. "You killed two vampires when you were young. Do you remember?" she asked.

Alora nodded her head hesitantly. Her grasp on her hands became stronger. "They wanted to kill me. I didn’t mean to burn them, but somehow my blindfold dropped and..." she paused as the memory was still vivid to her.

Margaret contemplated and wondered if Alora’s eyes were fatal to only those, who wanted her to get harmed. However, it was difficult to come to such a conclusion.

"I have made a decision for my son’s betterment. I hope you do support it," Margaret said.

"What is it, Your Majesty?" Alora’s inquisitiveness grew.

"You should leave his life soon," Margaret said. "Also, don’t get intimate with my son. I don’t wish my grandkids to be born with such eyes."

That was a total 360° change in Margaret’s attitude. Alora thought she liked her, but it wasn’t true.

"Magnus is head over heels for you. He doesn’t wish to listen to anyone, but I, as his mother, am worried for his safety. You need to think about it, Alora. If you truly love my son, you need to choose his safety above everything else," Margaret asserted.

Alora comprehended a mother’s concern. She accepted what the Queen told her. "Prince Magnus can read my thoughts. If he reads what I talked with the Queen Mother, he may get angry at you," she said.

"I know. That’s why you must tell him and show him how friendly the conversation we both had. Magnus reads only if you think about that. If you don’t think about it, then everything will remain good," Margaret affirmed.

"I understand, Your Majesty," Alora said. She realized her happiness was short-lived. She planned a happy life for her and turned selfish in those moments.

"Alora, I wish you had eyes like us. You are humble and persuasive. However, because of your flawed eyes, we cannot accept you wholeheartedly. As a human, you don’t have a long life. You also know this well. Another way to bring an end to everyone’s misery is disappearing," Margaret pronounced.
