Chapter 174 - 174.

" Did you are the notice? The King made an announcement that Goddess appeared in this world and will take the whole continent away, but those that sinned will be punished and will be grown on the old one." 

People gathered on streets to comment on the weirdest idea they will ever hear. 

"Heard she will save even some from the old continent, but just those that deserve. What do you think about the new world? What it will be?" 

"It said it will be so big that even after traveling around for tens of thousands of years you wouldn't be able to explore it all."

"How interesting..."

The clamor of people could be heard from all sides. Some were interested to travel there right away and some were hesitant.

In the throne room sat the King and looked at those nobles that argued with them the unknown Goddess.

'Your Highness,  how can someone just come and choose to do whatever they want? We ate not even asked do we have a wish or not?"

Some just sat still and calmly drank their tea as they feared nothing but most nobles had some dirty deeds and were anxious.

Looking at them from high table King's lips just curled, but no words were spoken. The clamor and yelling lasted for hours.

It was time to see her little daughter and feed her. Her b.r.e.a.s.ts felt swollen and she became irritated. This lasted for too long.

She looked at her husband with pleading eyes and he just patted her hand. His eyes turned end icy as his voice boomed over the annoying people in this place.

"Silence!"

They stopped talking and looked at the King that had a small smile on her face.

"Your small heads forgot two or three things as it seems. This continent never belonged to us it is demons land and we are just intruders. In the new world, we will have such open space to traverse and call it our own. I am the king and it was my choice for the future of our kind. Who has something against it and wants to stay in this world you will be sent with all your belongings to random place in the old world. The most important thing... We will be able to live properly in that other world. It is time we call some land our own, don't you think?"

She let them standing and just left, rushing back to Aella.

Kendra stood next to the crib and smiled at the giggling baby that realized bubbles out her mouth. 

The King arrived when Kendra started laughing. Her true smile and laugh were something she gives only to people she likes and cares about.

Her eyes curved into two half-moons as she picked Aella out the bed and started playing around with her. They never felt fear that she would drop the baby is harm her in any kind of way. 

Kendra glances d back and saw two hugging people smiling at her so she smiled back. But suddenly Aella grunted and called. She looked at her in astonishment and saw a wrinkle in her small face.

"What is wrong? Is she hungry or are her diapers full?" She checked the cloth and it was fine.

"She is a bit hungry but it seems there is one more reason..." Laughed the King.

Kendra never had her own child so she waited to learn new things. "I somehow have feeling she us jealous if you don't pay her full attention when you are around her."

Aella smiled at Kendra when she looked at her but when she didn't she would always make this expression so they knew the real reason.

Kendra had strange feeling that the girl will be quite spoiled later on but still found her cute to the boon.

"Aella, somehow I have a feeling that you understand me. Listen, in future learn well. Sister will take care of you when you become stronger." Her words were captured in a small baby's heart, but all she could do is to smile and wave happily with her hands while she spoke in baby language.

"Aunt, later, much later, when she grows up, you will have to be careful that her state of mind stays good. Hans can turn evil easily. Even this I will purge the people from existing evil it doesn't mean that hat the evil in the future will be less. If she does something wrong in the future I will punish her just like any other. I even punished Isaa and the boys. I will punish her as well. Please don't be angry at me when the times come."

"Kendra my child, I know your heart from the first day we met. If my child does something wrong punish her, as I am sure you wouldn't do it just for fun. Actually I would gladly let you punish her anytime she foes something wrong, but looking at your face it seems we won't be able to see each other for a while?"

The King was ruler over her country and that is the fact. But still she was a person as well and she developed good feelings for this child.

Kendra suddenly hugged her. "Aunt, don't worry. After you all build the praying temples I will hear you. If there is something you want to say or some urgent matter and I am able to appear, I will come and help you." 

A small hand grabbed Kendra's finger and pulled her to her wet mouth to gnaw on her fingers. 

The King laughed. ''It seems she likes to do so. This child...' 

Since long ago she knew that Kendra hated unclean stuff, but strangely when Aella tried to gnaw on her fingers she just sat still and smiled gently. 

For Kendra small babies are quite cute. As long they don't turn into dust monsters with running nose and green mucus on their faces, she still can handle gnawing or two. Her eyes shone with soft light and her smile was peaceful. It seems this is the real Kendra, the one Isaa, Cassian and Xara could see and love.

''Kendra, for os many years you never called me by my name. Are we that estranged?'' The King sat next to her and pouted like a little child.

''I actually...'' Kendra suddenly turned red in her face.

''What is it?'' The King was stunned by her sudden shyness.

''I asked long time ago about your name, but it was lost somehow. After that, I felt shame to ask again. So all I could do is to call you ''aunt'' or  ''the King''. It is not a glorious thing to speak of. Sorry...'' Her voice became into a whisper as she bowed down her red face avoiding King's face.

''You... this child... All these years you never asked?'' The King was stunned and realized that truly Kendra never asked or called her by the name.

''My name is Alicia Alexandra. You can call me as you wish. Aunt Alicia, or Aunt Alexandra or just Aunt Alex. Or just give me a new name.'' She laughed heartily while staring at Kendra's face that looked at her with a strange expression. ''What?'' 

''What did you say your name is???'' Kendra felt her heart thumping.

''Alicia Alexandra.'' The voice was clear but became blurry to Kendra as a small voice repeated her name.

''Kendra, don't forget my name its Alicia Alexandra, Alicia Alexandra. You should remember my name, you must!'' In the tunnel, her whisper resounded many times and repeatedly send that name towards Kendra's ears.

Alicia Alexandra... Alicia Alexandra... Alicia Alexandra...
