Liam took a deep breath and then looked directly into Anna's eyes, taking her full attention on him.
"You know this, I don't easily trust someone. Your mother is an exception you can say in this. In our family, there was a prophecy in our family, made by someone that someone will come and a big change will be done!"
Liam knew that as he has told her about this, she will definitely ask him more questions related to this prediction. But he was ready to answer it.
This is something important to him. She needs to know everything related to this!
"And what was there?" Anna curiously asked.
"As you know, the crowning ceremony is given a lot of importance in our family! But one day, as our old generation says this story, someone who was jealous of our power gave us a curse that this crowning ceremony will soon be either over or result in big change." Liam stopped saying and then looked at Anna.
This daughter of his was surely something special. She has an interest in all those things, like boys.
He sometimes even felt that Marrie and he gave birth to another boy in girls disguise.
"And what will big change are you even talking now?!" Anna can't handle any more twists and turns. She has to know what big change is going to be there now!
Can't her father stop twisting and simply tell her?!
"As you know girls are not crowned till yet in our family. But now, this rule of centuries is going to be broken as you will be crowned as ahead of the Walker empire!"
Hearing this all, Anna felt an unspeakable feeling inside her. Was this was related to her? Well maybe yes!
'Am I the person who is following that curse?' Anna held her c.h.e.s.t as a heavy feeling was coming on her way. She was that unlucky for her family?
Seeing her like this, Liam sighed. He knew this was going to be difficult for her to handle so much.
But they had no choice. This was the ultimate truth in their life. In their dynasty.
"It was said, a special person will take birth in this family, who will break all rules of the Walker family. When you were born, it was said that you might be that person as it was after so long that a girl was born in our family. A crowned person never had a girl, but I was happy to have a son and a daughter. My family was complete!"
Liam was happy that his family is complete.
God blessed him with two sharp brain and beautiful, handsome children and with his ladylove as his wife. He did not want any more at that time but this was just his wish.
Anna now was understanding what exactly her father meant. A revolution was going to take place and it was going on now. She can be that blessed person but why her brother had to die for this?
But she has no control over it now! Everything is done.
Anna just lowered her head in guilt. What all father said meant that she was a curse in the family. But then she heard her Liam's voice,
"No matter what everyone says if you are meant to be crowned, no one can stop you in this. This is only your right! If you were a curse, show them that you are a curse with immense power so that no one can even think of attacking you!"
Anna's eyes twinkled hearing this. This was enough support from her father and she felt that her powers are going to be increased now!
"I will do everything you say. I want to be even a better warrior as compared to my brother. He will be proud in heaven after seeing me." Anna said with a smile.
"Sure he will be! Let us start now." Saying this, Liam took out his sword and taught her some basic techniques today, how to defend yourself, how to know what the person, on the other hand, is planning to do.
These skills Anna had received earlier too, but today was just a polishing day, to remember what she had once been taught.
During the lessons, Anna felt that her father was being lenient with her. Maybe his heart was not acceptable to hurt her. If the brother was there, he might have attacked him with his whole power, but for a father, his daughter is always a princess whom he wants to cherish, not wanting to send her to a shady place to kill someone.
After a total of three hours of practice, Anna was relieved and was allowed to go home.
"Anna, remember this that your mother can't know about this at any cost. No matter what happens." He was afraid of his relationship with Marrie, which is already sour to be more drenched.
There will be a big fight between them if something like this happens.
"Hmm, I will take care of this. You go home and take rest. I will go now." Saying this Anna walked to the driver who bought her here. Seeing her leaving, Liam felt satisfaction.
At least she was trying to be worth of crowned position like her brother. As a father, he was always proud of her and her brother.
But he just hoped that his past mistakes don't affect her future happiness.
The things he had already done, resulted in Anna's happiness being snatched. But all he can pray is, her future is filled with an abundance of happiness.
But destiny laid another path for them.
The past will always come to haunt you!
"Miss, to where?" Driver asked her. But was not it obvious that she will go o home only?
"Home."
In the car, Anna's eyes were on the roads.
Night light here was so much good. But then, her phone rang. She took it out and saw a familiar number.
"Hello?" Anna answered in a low voice.
"Meet me tomorrow."
