After they all left, tears suddenly trickled from Vladella's eyes which were closed. Nobody knows why she was crying. It was as if her heart was tearing apart. Her expressions were of pain and it was not an act. It was true pain. She was suffering as she gritted her teeth. It was as if she was coping with the after-effects of some deadly spell.
Indeed!
she was preparing for something.
Something cruel, ominous, inhuman, and maybe barbaric too.
"Gwen Keins. I will take my revenge. I will make sure he suffers. The pain which I have gone through I will make sure he feels the same. You just wait for its Gwen...."
[inaudible sighs and voices]"
Unknown to everyone there was a grey cat who was blended in the darkness.
He took every action and emotion of Vladella and after he made sure that there was nothing more to it he vanished into thin air.
The Reinstle empire had a four-season weather with spring, summer, rain, and winters. Spring season was the shortest and loveliest there contrary to winters which usually lasts for six-seven months.
This morning was the seventh day of the spring season.
Vladis was fond of spring season.
One week had passed since Arthur interrogated Vladella and things were finally settling for them. He was wondering what kind of spell this wizard used this time.
Today Vladis was grinning and smiling very brightly Afterall he finally got a chance to bug this icy lord. He cannot afford to waste this once in a lifetime opportunity and with that he started to follow Arthur everywhere.
It was noontime and Arthur were seriously pissed off with Vladis. He was a lazy and quiet person and did not like to be bothered. He continued giving killer glares to Vladis but Vladis was far, far away from care.
Inside a lavish study room which was decorated with woods and antique furniture, a handsome man was sitting behind a wooden desk. He had a quill in one hand and the other was holding some official papers with a signature lazy smile hung on his face. Vladis was standing in front of a lamp and as usual Chesire was lying beside the window.
"Care to explain Lord! What did you dream of? What made you angry when I knocked on the door?"
"Tell us! Tell us! you know we are your best ally. We won't sell you out. Trust us", Chesire also piped in.
Arthur had enough of them and finally he made his mind to tell them after all it was a messy condition for him too. He was also curious about his dreams and the blessings.
"Chesire tell him about blue moon blessings" The Lord finally spoke.
"What the hell. Why am I supposed to tell? Can't you explain yourself?", Chesire sulked.
The wizard grinned and said smilingly "It seems like a certain cat is becoming fat day by day. I need to reduce his diet intake. Vladis inform the kitchen staff to not give him fishes for a month and yes assign three infiltrations and information gathering tasks for him.Hey! You kitto be aware that you only have three months to complete this task otherwise you can forget about meat and fishes for an entire year."
Chesire was devastated while hearing the order. Not getting to eat fish was same as not getting food for him.He was sure that his master was punishing him for running his mouth open to Vladis He immediately regretted it and pleaded. "Forgive me master for my sins. You know how much I like fishes from the ponds "
Vladis immediately chimed. "Your master is going easy on you kitto. After all he has already given you three months for your task completion. Best of luck!" Vladis winked at him.
They both knew Arthur was a cruel man who would take advantage of any situation and both were fully aware about that. Arthur didn't liked to talk much and was very frustrated with all the tailing and bugging so that was the reason he asked Chesire to explain.
Sigh!
It was Cheshire's bad luck that he got hit from his lord's anger.
"So? About midnight blessings. It all started a few months ago when that old man Morsee came to us talking about the blue moon and its blessings and with that our lord intended to have those blessings and finally in the name of blessings he got a silver bracelet and from then onwards he started having dreams frequently and as for the dreams you have to ask him", Chesire explained everything in a huff.
Vladis was shocked to his core with this turn of events. Never in his entire lifetime he would have imagined that Arthur would seek blue moon's blessing. For god sake's he was the strongest wizard in the entire wizardry province.
If anyone dared to give him the crap that Arthur sought the blessings for the riches or women then he would smash that person. Who in the name of god they are talking about. The Great Wizard Arthur Evans, sole heir of Reinstle empire? What kind of wealth and women he hasn't seen?
He was baffled and wanted an explanation from Arthur on this matter.
"EXPLAIN!" Vladis said solemnly
"There is nothing much to explain. It's just that I was bored and wanted to do something interesting. I was bored beyond the boredom so I sought the blessings." Arthur spoke plainly.
Vladis was annoyed as he said "My dear lord you know there is nothing sort of free lunch in the world. Everything has a price and we need to pay for it. What did you trade with Blue moon?"
"The power to see the future" Arthur explained like it was nothing big.
Vladis suffered a minor heart attack. If not for the table lamb behind him which he was holding for the support he might have fainted after listening all this. Arthur was the only Wizard who could use his spells to see the future of anyone including himself.
"Wow!"
" Great!"
" Now you traded the power just because you were bored". He never imagined his lord to be this silly. Vladis sulked.
"What about dreams?" Vladis finally asked the hot question of the day.
Arthur remained expressionless but his diluting pupils betrayed him. Vladis and Chesire were observing his every emotion and surely, they didn't miss those reactions. After taking his sweet time he finally opened his mouth and dropped another bomb on them.
"I dreamt about a girl"
