Chapter 153 - The Answers

Zazel with everyone took their places around the pool. They sat in raised seats that they had a clear view of the water 

Francis sat beside Ander, he had been purified, he felt free. Like a feather that was light and could float to wherever he wanted. 

He couldn't describe in words how he felt. It was like he was wrapped in a warm soft blanket of love and peace. He had no stress at all and all the anger and frustrations that he was feeling was all gone. 

He wanted the same for the rest of the family. Having them be freed from that held them down would make him happy.

The seers had arrived. They were three, their bodies was blue in colour like the colour of the petals in the water. They were patterns on their body from their heads to necks and hands.. 

Other parts were covered with clothes so it wasn't certain if the marks were underneath the clothes too. The marks were in shape of leaves and flower petals. 

"Begin," Zazel demanded. 

The seers walked into the water form all three sides on the pool. When their bodies touched the water, the blue flower petals turned red. 

The seers placed their hands in the water and waved them around in a dancing manner. While doing so the small waves made it to the center of the pool where images started forming.

"I want to know how come I have another son," Zazel said.

The seers nodded their heads and moved along with her request. The images of the day before the eggs hatched played in the middle of the pool. 

They watched how the guard kept watch on the royal dragon eggs. Among all the royal eggs, one stood out. A blue egg that was a little bigger than the normal eggs in the room. It was freezing and the other eggs shook each time a movement came from the egg.

The guard walked out of the room and just then a portal appeared in the room.  Two women entered the room through the portal. One was very familiar to Ander and Francis while the other was a stranger to them.

"Are you sure we should be doing this?" Olivia asked the woman in a black robe. 

"Do you want a child?" the woman asked and Olivia nodded her head. "A dragon child?" 

Olivia nodded her head and the woman went ahead to look at the eggs. "Then yes, we should do this. When we are done, Alexander won't be able to say that he is not the father of your child," the woman said. 

She took a look at the eggs before her attention was drawn to the blue egg. She touched it, her eyes went round with realisation. 

"What is wrong?" Olivia questioned.

"It's twins. We can take one and the mother will never know," the woman said.

Olivia smiled happily at the good news. She was so happy as it meant that she will be able to manipulate Alex into leaving Francis and being with her. 

She was going to be the queen mother and to a dragon child for that matter. She was so excited. She let the other woman work as she stayed out of her way and kept watch for the guard.

The woman worked her magic and successfully transferred one of the dragons from the blue egg into Olivia's womb. 

"I want him to be a powerful witch too. Francis has witches helping him and I want my very own witch," she told to the woman. 

The woman transferred some of her magic to Olivia before they left the room. The guard returned and examined the eggs. Seeing as everything was normal he went back to his place and continued to watch them.

The seers stopped when the queen of Azabia had gotten the answers that she wanted. Zazel gritted her teeth in anger as she replayed the event she had seen in her mind. 

A witch had dared to enter her home and take her child from her. Her body went cold after watching that. Every day she had lived her life not knowing that her son was somewhere across the world because a woman wanted a dragon son.

"Aaahh," they all heard and turned around.

Razaan has pinned a woman to the ground. He grabbed hold of her hair and lifted her face for the Queen to have a look at her. 

Zazel, Royan, Francis and Ander we're shocked as that was the witch they had just witnessed helping Olivia to steal Ander.

"I will find the other one soon. For now have some peace as you punish this one," Razaan let out. 

He removed a lock of hair from his head and threw it at the woman on the ground. His hair turned into a silver rope and tied around the woman. It chained her to the ground. 

The prince of Azabia took his key and opened the door in the air and left the room.

"He won't come back until he has Olivia with him," Royan whispered to Ander. "He can never see anything that offends his mother. One way or another he is going to bring Olivia here. I hope that you aren't too attach to her as Razaan is not going to go easy on her," he added squeezing Ander's hand gently.

It had to be too much for the boy to see how one selfish decision of someone else changed his life completely. He lived a life that wasn't his because Olivia was willing to stoop to any level to get Alexander.

"It's okay. Normally I would boil with anger but I just feel sad for Olivia, she went to so much trouble and lost in the end," Ander said. "Like a fool I have walking down the same path," he said with regret.

"At least now you know better and I am glad that you won't end up like her," he said with his sweet smile on his face.

He admired the change in the boy. It was natural of him to be more sensible and mature now, the water had purified him and anything that might cloud his sense of judgement was removed from his body.

"Wont your fiancee feel bad that you are being so nice to me?" Ander teased him.

"He won't, only three things ever offend him. Seeing his mother upset, suffering for someone else's mistake and not having the perfect king of wine with his meal," Royan replied to him. 

"And jealousy is not possible, we are engaged and not married and it is a political arrangement, alliances can change so nothing is certain until we get married," he informed to him.

Ander nodded in understanding. He can't sure why he wasn't angry that Royan was engaged to someone else when both of them clearly shared a seductive attraction between them. But he liked it. 

Not boiling over everything was good for a change. It made life a lot easier. Unlike before when every little thing offended him.

"Then congratulations on you engagement," he said.

"It's seventeen years late but thanks," He let out and Ander furrowed his eye brows. "We've been engaged since the day we were born," Royan replied to him.

Ander's jaw dropped at this news. It was no wonder the male had not dated anyone before meeting him. Having someone waiting for you since birth sounded exhausting.

"My apologies for missing your engagement. I would have been there if I wasn't stolen and taken away," he joked and the two of them laughed. 

Razaan returned to the room with a bleeding Olivia in his arms. "I found her in a blood prison. Looks like someone had already started punishing her for her sins," he informed the Queen and dropped her next to the other woman. 

He walked up to his mother, "Don't be angry anymore," he said to her.

Zazel gave him a smile and nodded her head. "Go freshen up, you smell like her," Zazel noted with a frown. 

"Take them away," she ordered.

Ander moved to go and take them away as instructed when Royan held his hand and stopped him from going forward. 

Guards walked into the room with red uniforms with emblems of the Phoenix and the dragon in them. They too the two women from the room in three minutes and the next two, the blood from the floor was cleaned.

The air was sprayed with air freshener to get the smell of the two women from the room. In five minutes the room was back to the way it was before Razaan brought the two women there.

"I have a meeting with the board. I am leaving first," she let out and left the room.

Razaan glanced at Royan, he noticed that he was holding on to Ander and shook his head. "Don't tell me the two of you are "that" close," he asked more than said.

"We won't tell you then," Royan replied him.

"Oh dear, this is going to be good news for father," Razaan stated laughing. At his words, Royan dropped Ander's hand.
