Chapter 67: Chapter 67

Chapter 66

“I was pregnant with you at that time, so I chose to hide and pretend to be a mortal by the name of Diana Knoxx because I don't want Psyche to get you in trouble. I know that he will also kill you when he finds out you are my son because he will definitely be an Ice user kadin ”

“But I wasn’t. I'm not an ice user and I only became an Ice user when you joined me ”I countered him but he shook his head.

"That's because I sealed your magic off" my eyes suddenly widened.

"You sealed my magic off?" he nodded.

“I am an Ice user and your father is a great wizard, aren't you wondering why despite your strong power you only have a level 2 water element? It’s because I sealed your magic off, once everyone finds out that you are an ice user, Psyche will know and will also know and once he finds out ‘that, he will also discover about me and the relationship between the two of us. So- ”

“Wait. wait ”I raised my hand so he stopped speaking. "You sealed my magic off?"

I felt annoyed because of what I found out. I was confused by what I had learned over the past few hours and I tried to get it into my brain but knowing that from the beginning my life was full of lies, I didn’t know if I would be able to accept it.

Mama apparently noticed the emotion I was feeling and I was not surprised when she approached me and held me with both arms. His hand was cold as if his body was lifeless but his eyes were full of emotion staring into my eyes.

I saw Lina and Trevas walking away, with King hermes so that maybe mama would give us space to talk but I didn't notice them when mama started talking.

"I know this is too much for you to handle and that's also one of the reasons why I chose to keep everything from you"

I did not answer. I just stared at him with his eyes that I probably didn't see for a long time.

"I didn't tell you everything because I want you to live a normal life. You don't worry that Psyche can find you at any time and kill you because the blood of an ice user is flowing through you. I sealed your magic off so that no one will know that you are an ice user and Psyche will not suspect the Knoxx family. You and Alen were the only reason why I am still fighting and I don’t want to lose you because of my fight with Psyche but in the end, I am the reason why you experienced all this ”

I couldn’t help but cry as I stared into mom’s eyes as she said those words.

"I'm sorry… I couldn't tell you… I'm sorry I suddenly disappeared when we were in Beifang… I'm sorry" He whispered before he stroked my hair but I shook his head.

"It's not your fault" I said almost in a whisper. Gone is the annoyance I used to feel. “You just want to protect me”

He nodded before approaching me and hugging me tightly. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and buried my face in his shoulders. I couldn't hold back my tears especially when I also felt my shoulder getting wet because of her tears.

‘I missed her’

I hugged him even tighter and so did he. I don’t know how long we’ve been in that position but we both laughed when we broke up.

"Your ugly one is crying" he said before wiping his own tears. I just laughed before being shaken.

After mama and I calmed down, we walked into the mansion together and went to Trevas and Lina who were now standing near the sofa where king hermes was lying.

"Why did you bring him with us?" I asked mama, I'm referring to king hermes because until now I still don't understand why mama will include king hermes in teleporting away.

"What?" mama asked in astonishment as if no one knew what I was saying. "I did not take him with me to teleport. I have almost run out of power to teleport the three of you so why would I bring someone else? ”

I frowned and stared at the unconscious king hermes in confusion and I noticed that they were the same, probably thinking deeply about how king hermes got here.

Maybe we were silent for a few seconds before I broke the silence and asked mama the question that had been bothering me for a long time.

"Mom, when Luke and I were kids, why did you reconcile Luke with us?" I noticed Trevas' face suddenly go with my question but I ignored him. "I remember that you went to the palace to negotiate with king hermes that Luke and I would marry one day… Can I know why?"

Before the engagement between Luke and me, we weren't that close because apart from the fact that I don't go out of Knoxx manor, he also doesn't go out of the palace so we only meet whenever there are grand balls held inside the palace but and at some point, it was decided bymama to marry me to the only prince who is almost my age too.

I heard mama gasp. "That was also one of my mistakes"

He sat down on the couch in front of king hermes' bed before continuing to speak. “Your dad and I used to think that if you and Luke could get married and the relationship between our family and the royal family would be stronger, our family would be safer from disaster and if Psyche found out that I was Anna, she would have second thoughts. first he had to rush theour family because we have a partner in the palace but the royal family itself will ruin our family ”

Mama shook her head as she looked in the direction of king hermes. “They know our secrets, Hermes and Luke know the secrets of our family so Psyche probably found out about it from them. Psyche probably also ordered Alen to be hanged so that he could start this mansion. ”

"So in other words, the royal family executed papa before because he was not here at home the day the rebels, the staff of minister Laxxon and minister Haviour, who are Psyche's disciples, rushed in?" Mama nodded but instead of answering my questions I was even more confused.

I remember the day my dad was hanged in Plaza De Rinos. That day the rebels also rushed in and I remember even the royal family being attacked by it. I frowned, if the king had executed papa then under Psyche's command, why would the rebels attack him?

Before answering the question that was bothering my brain we heard King Hermes moaning before he gradually stared.

Mama immediately stood up and pulled out sharp ice from her hand before pointing it at king hermes' neck. “Why are you here? Did you follow us? ”

King Hermes first stared at mama's face as if to find out if he was dreaming or not. After a few seconds he opened his mouth but instead of speaking he suddenly vomited blood.

Napakunot ang nuo ko, Is he poisoned?

“You…” I heard mama say but she didn't continue what she was saying and just walked closer to king hermes and opened his collar.

I was surprised by what mama did but I was even more surprised when I saw the markings on king hermes' neck. It was star -shaped but had a total number of six corners while in the middle there was a common star with five corners. (Picture below)

Seeing the markings on king hermes' neck I suddenly turned to Trevas and saw that he was also looking at me.

The markings on King Hermes 'neck look very similar to the markings I saw on Trevas' neck a few months ago. That was the day we went to fangbei lake where we dived together to find the ice blossom flower to cure his poisoning. (From `Chapter`` 9: Trevas)

"You .. do you have markings of windem?" mama asked king hermes so we turned our attention to him.

"Markings of windem?" I asked myself but I think my words were strengthened.

"It's a markings and a curse at the same time" I focused my full attention on what mama said.

"You have the same markings right, trevas?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

“I’m Anna remember? I was there when you showed Alissa your markings ”replied mama and Trevas nodded as if he just remembered about that thing.

“Those markings are a symbol of your relationship with a winter demon so I'm not surprised that you have that because your mother is a winter demon. I don't know much about those markings but as far as I know, Psyche can control the life of a creature with the markings of windem, Whether she wants them to live or to die in agony, she can do it ”

"D-does that mean he can control Trevas' life?" I asked and I also saw Trevas frown because of what mama said.

"I doubt it" Mom shook her head. “You got those markings because of your relationship with Freya. Although Freya's power is in Psyche, they are still two different people and different souls ”

I relaxed when I heard that.
