"How can you fight something you can't see "
Narrators POV
Evil lurked all around. It lurked before and after death. During this time period their were issues of sorcery, that witches needed to be killed. In the kingdom of Eudora and Aeries witches weren't common, and if their were they'd be witches of white light meant to heal others.
Naturally if a witch of black magic appeared she's be killed by witch hunters. Of course this witch came for one reason, Annaliese. This witch was here to return a favor to the world. She wanted to make sure that she would be known. When the witch appeared and discovered her death she grew angry and bitter.
Her plan had been ruined, she needed her blood. She needed her to make her plan work, for the night of the eclipse. She waited to long for all of this, she waited to long for her plans to be ruined. She opened the casket, were the dead princess remained. A smile appeared on her face, the princess body was not yet molded nor dead. In fact she lay their frozen, the witch felt her excitement come forward.
She grabbed the princess hand, it was cold as ice. The witch grabbed the knife from her hand and brought it to the princesses wrist. No blood fell, just ashes. The princesses arm turned to ash's. The witch muttered curse words under her breath, she couldn't believe this. The blood she needed would now be gone. She looked in the casket, the crystal ruby in princess's necklace was glowing. The witch held it to her hand, she knew what she had to do. The ruby's fire would light her way for the next successor.
She grabbed the Ruby, the princess would live on, in fact she already did the only thing to do now was to wait for the journey to unfold. The eclipse, oh the lovely eclipse, it would bring the world to piece once and for all. The witches choice would be made, they would pay for what they did to her. What they did to her child, what they did to the world she lived on.
In fact, it was as if she was already winning. She had things her enemies didn't have, she had the ruby, she would receive the blood, she had her black magic all she needed now was the crown and her plan would be completed.
♠️Harry's POV ♠️
For the longest time, I stood in court waiting for the verdict of the man that had hurt that young girl. The look of pure utter disgust was on my face as they read his record, he did trafficking of children and women, he manufactured parts of the slave trade when I had strictly ruled that such things would be forbidden in this kingdom.
"As a royal court leader I here by pronounce that all actions accused of this man can be punished by death. Hanging is the verdict " said the council leader. I shook my head, "He may have done cruel things but I do not wish to end anyone's life. Its against a act of god, we all know it. God would want all his children to receive redemption" I said.
"Indeed he would my king the only problem with that is he is not of our kingdom. He actually belongs to me, and as queen I hate the idea of anyone doing anything against my faith. So lets see young man what is your name, this jury will not verdict anything until I approve it. He is a man of my kingdom and will pay it my way" smirked Queen Elizabeth of Trenton as she walked into the court house.
She walked in much composure the look of innocence planted to her face but her heart and mind were as black as coal. She walked over to the man, his name was Floyd Andrews. "Oh Queen Elizabeth a certain pleasure to see you again. Tell me, how's it like to only be called the kingdoms little wh- " a slap was brought to his face.
"So this is the trash you are imprisoning well, I want him towards a carriage and in my kingdom. He is to be dismemberment , King Harry I do not care if you agree or not he is of my kingdom and he has to pay for his actions their" said Elizabeth. I merely nodded, I didn't believe it was the correct method but if she wishes to do so with him how could I stop her.
"Very well. This case has ended thank you for your time " said one of the court officials. "You know I still don't understand why you don't kill those convicted of deadly acts " she said as she walked up to me. "And I don't understand why you are here and decide to believe you are superior than I " I stated sharply. "You still allowed the prisoner to come with me " she smirked. "No, that is what you believe, but we all know that you can't go against my word. I do not wish to discuss this topic any longer tell me why you are here or kindly leave " I said annoyed.
"Well, I came to tell you that I have a issue and I need your help. You have been down this path before and its very urgent " she said nervously. "Come to my study we can discuss it their " I said and walked out the court room. The broad day light sun was bright and shinning. I hated it.
We entered the palace and headed towards my study. "What exactly do you need from me ?" I said crossing my arms and sitting down. "You see my kingdom is being attacked. We are on the coast and we need more people on my side. My people are starving and we just need more supplies Rupert has been at war with other people and I ask you please help me. " cried Elizabeth.
I gave her a pity look and nodded, " I will do as you need. My kingdom has prospered very well, you will get my soldiers of Aeries, and workers of Eudora tell me what you need and I'll help " I said. Elizabeth began crying and held onto me tight, "Thank you so much Harry. So much stress isn't great for me you know especially with me having a child and I just am thankful for you helping me " she cried. "Your welcome Liz. Now go on and have lunch I can hear your stomach grumbling all the way from here " I laughed.
"Honestly Harry your such a attractive man. Why haven't you found a lady yet?" she questioned. "Its very weird to have your cousins wife tell you that " I said awkwardly. She laughed and shook her head, "Well he died and I can say it but I'm serious Harry. Your kingdom needs a Queen, you need your Queen tell me when will we meet her ?" she said worried.
"I love Annaliese to much to be with someone else beside her. Honestly Elizabeth, you can't tell me you aren't heart broken because Jonathan died ?" I said softly. Her face instantly changed, "Harry I'am heartbroken but that's the thing, I have to move on. Its been a hard time, but I must move on for myself and my child. Its hard I know but we will make it through we always do. Your a good man Harry, a good man. I hate that you have to suffer this much and this long. I know any maiden would be lucky to have your heart " sighed Elizabeth. "Are you confessing your love to me ?" I said with a grin.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "You are horrible, I'm trying to be nice and here you go and make this joke. Honestly Harry would it k-"
"King Harry " said a guard opening the door. " Yes what is it ?" I said chuckling. "The princess her tomb has been open" he said breathless. My smile instantly dropped and I gave a frown, "What about the grave is her body still their " I said worried getting up from the chair. "Her body, it - it turned to ash's well only part of it all. She, my king part of her body looks in flesh in blood the other part is made of ash's " said the guard.
I gave him a shocked look, "I know it sounds crazy but please come and see " said the guard. I nodded and the 3 of us ran towards the graveyard, guards stood around their. "King Harry " they said. "Queen Elizabeth " they also stated.
I went up towards the grave and was confused, her arm it was cut and turned to ash's but the rest of her body it stood pale, their was red in her cheeks as if she still contains blood. "What type of sorcery is this " I said confused. I touched her hair, it still was as soft as she would normally would have it. I bent down, sniffing her hair, the sweet smell she always gave off was still evident on her skin.
"What is this " said Elizabeth. "WHAT TYPE OF SORCERY IS THIS " I yelled. "Sorcery my king. This isn't any type of sorcery, this is the blood of the eclipse " said a girl. Her hazel eyes and light brown hair sparked, her innocent face, so familiar to me. This was the girl that got attacked, she was standing before me, her white dress making her look pure and innocent.
"Who are you " I said. "My name is Sylivia Seymour, I'm a white witch and the princess that you see before you looking like she is alive is all but a factor of illusion. Your princess was born on the eclipse, it happens rarely but when it does we must be cautious. A person born of the blood of the eclipse is a great benefit to a witch, well a witch of black magic. I don't understand much of the magic of this way but I do know that with the blood of someone of the eclipse you could bring war between life and death. Its a token and entrance to hell " she said softly.
"But she is dead their is no reason for anyone to need her blood. She is gone, she is never coming back, he took her from me. She is dead, what good does she do ?" I said angrily. "King Harry, their were two born, if one dies the other will feel. So what that means is, your princess died but someone else is alive so your princess has someone with the same blood as her. So does the little boy you have Ace, who ever is his mother has given him part of the eclipse blood. What this means now is that your son, is in danger from the witch " she said.
"How do I know this is true. How do I know that you are not lying " I said angrily. "I'm not asking you to believe me. I'm just letting you know because if she comes, and when she comes we are all going to die " said Sylvia. She threw something before a white mist appeared and she disappeared.
"King what must we do " said the guard. "Make sure we are secure " I said softly. I felt lost and confused, what is going to happen. I felt weak, but I knew I had nothing to worry about but I couldn't help but wonder. I can't help but wonder all these things and if I'm truly safe.
