"Thank you. That would be all. You may take your leave and please do ensure she is alright. If a case of last three months repeated itself, then please keep her safe."
"I understand, your grace. I do not believe I would get to that. She would be fine, be rest assured."
He cast one long look at her, before turning his head to the side and moving his fingers, signalling at her with his fingers to take her leave.
Letting her head dip in low, she bowed to him and then took her leave.
Once she was gone, he made his way to the chair in his room and slammed down hard against it without any bother.
"I got her so angry and now she is still feeling sad. I better do something nice," he voiced out loud then turned his gaze back to the door.
"Who is there?"
"Your majesty, it is I, Darius."
"Good. Go to the kitchens, send my word to the head cook. As her to prepare the most delicious meal for breakfast and add some of the cookies and sweets."
"Yes, your majesty."
"Oh and have them sent to Queen Era's room."
"Yes, your majesty."
Soon he heard the sound of retreating footsteps and his cheeks puffed up into a smile.
He should have done this a long time ago. Perhaps she and he would have gone far in this whole thing.
'Oh Era, just you wait, I would steal your heart and make you love me as I have loved you then make you mine for real.'

Meanwhile, Era got an early start on some things by herself. She wanted to wake her sister so they could play together but she knew she had to let the little princess sleep so what she did, got an early start on some of the documents she failed to finish the previous day.
After minutes of working on the document, she found out that her mind was not there. Rather several scenes and scenarios plagued her mind.
"No. Do not let it be. We are to speak nothing of it to anyone."
Era blinked her eyes. She looked to her side but she could not find the person speaking but the voice sounded awfully familiar.
"Fret not my queen. I would make sure no one knows of this. It would be our secret." She heard another familiar voice and that was when she realized it was in her head. Before she could figure out any other thing, her vision became blurry.
After closing and opening them, she was no longer in her room, rather she found herself back at her palace with her mother and father talking to each other and a smaller version of her by their side, listening.
Everyone looked gloomy, somewhat sad at the new discovery. It was just a year after her younger sister had been born.
Everything seemed to have been going on smoothly until a day when she was taken outside in the garden to play and her maid did not give her a toy just so she could eat.
Little Eleora got angry and began to cry. The next thing they knew vines started growing from the ground and the wall close by had a crack.
The more and more time passed and she cried the more the strange things happening increased. Her maid who had been close to her wanted to pick her up and pet her but when she got in within range, Eleora's cries increased and a sonic wave moved, sending her maid flying far from her, as well as other things on the floor.
Emerald had been talking with the king when it happened and due to the fact that they did not want someone listening to them, they went a bit far from the her but when the whole problem started, they had been running back to their daughter, only for them to arrive and witness such power.
Luckily, it was just a maid that was there with them, which was Eleora's maid. Normally when they went out, they did not take an entourage with them to spend the time alone with the family. Today's exception began when Eleora was born.
Quickly, after the first wave attack, Queen Emerald ignored her husband's shout as she dashed for her daughter and got into the same dilemma as her maid.
Not wanting more harm to be done, Elrad rushed for his wife and went to help her up, turning his back on his daughter. By the time they were both standing, they were surprised to see that the whole change had stopped and Eleora no longer cried and she was been carried by someone.
To their surprise, they saw their younger daughter scooped up in her elder sister's hands as she snuggled close to her and became calm.
It felt like a puzzle. It came as a shock. First off, they noticed that normal persons were repellent or affected by her magic but only Era was not.
Looking up, Era saw the family still looking sad and then Elrad looked at where Eleora was in her crib and then back at his wife. "We cannot let anyone know that the second princess of Meribia possesses magical powers," Elrad pronounced.
Immediately he said that he and Emerald turned to the side to look at Era. She understood what that meant. It was risky.
If people found out in the kingdom, they might fear her but if their enemies found out, they could see them as a threat and want to have her or kill her.
In all, it was no good if she was discovered.
The next thing Era knew, she heard sobs and thought it was Eleora but to her amazement, it was her mother. Quickly Elrad went to her, patting her on the shoulder. "What is wrong my queen?"
She looked up and wept more. "I am sorry, Elrad. I am to blame for this."
"No. No one is accusing you or putting any blame on you."
"But it came from my family. My lineage. Mother always told me that grandmother came from the witches' village but she was powerless and felt more like an outcast until she left and came to Meriba where she met my maternal grandfather. She didn't have it and I didn't, so did Era but who would have thought."
"Shh, you worry so much, my love. It is okay. Besides, our daughter is not cursed. She is blessed with a gift. You should be proud. None of them is cursed."
"But Era is not affected by her powers," Emerald voiced out. "Does that mean she has powers too or…"
"I do not know. If she had, then it would have surfaced all these years. I believe due to your lineage, only Eleora has powers and maybe Era is just not affected by it."
"Aaahhha..." more and more wailing echoed in the room as Emerald cried out her heart but the good thing, she had her husband to console her.
Watching her parents, the smaller version of Era smiled at them and walked past them, as she got to where they were she placed a hand on her mother before moving away and going to her sister's crib.
"Hey, little one."
BABY LAUGHTER!
Era's cheeks pulled back a bit revealing a stunning smile as she peered into the lovely eyes of her kid sister.
"Guess you are a special gem huh." She poked her sister's cheek, causing little Eleora to burst out laughing and brightening the area around her.
"Wait, Elrad, can you see?"
"Yes, Emerald. I see it too."
To Era's amazement, her parents were watching them and each laughing sound her sister made, illuminated the room further.
They looked at each other, smiles on their faces as their joy skyrocketed. It meant so much to them to see this side of their daughter. It simply meant, her emotions controlled her powers.
"Ahh... Thank goodness."
"What did I tell you? Era is not only not just affected by her magic, but she can greatly turn her emotions, control them, control what Eleora feels. Emerald, our children are gifted."
"Hear that little Ora, you are gifted and I would protect you, little sister. Always. You are Meribia's little secret."
"This would be our family's secret. Our kingdom's greatest secret, the magical sisters."
Her eyes dropped close and the next time she opened them, she was right back in her room. She still did not look happy even after that replay her mind did for her.
So much was at stake now and only two of them knew the secret. Their home was gone. She wondered how her little sister had managed through it all and not screamed the full walls of Meribia down herself.
With her there, they had more advantages in the war, so why did her parents not allow her to lose control? It would have saved them and a lot of people.
