Mike got shocked for a moment but he also jumped spontaneously. Every bit of the freezing water made his body dead cold but the sudden reaction of Juliet had stumped Mike a lot even to feel the numbness by it. He frantically swam shrieking her name; however, what welcomed him was total silence.
"Juliet, enough of this child's play, please come on the surface, the water is too bone-chilling. It might be harmful to the body. "
Suddenly, Mike saw something merging out of water. A light was shining from the pearl of the captivating tiara which was resting over the head with long black wavy hair. The owner of those black wavy hair was a stunning woman, whose smile itself can bring seven calamities to the world. The beautiful woman looked at Mike, who was having a horrified expression on his face; it was clear that he was not mesmerized by that beauty, instead it seemed that he met a ghost.
" Apologies, we didn't want to disturb you, my esteemed one, but I was searching for my wife who accidentally jumped to your locus."
The beautiful woman had a confused look on her face, but then she offered Mike to be her consort which ignited his wrath and his face clearly showed the discontent.
"Miss, you might be an alluring beauty when compared to any other woman, but this man will have only one wife and it is the fourth miss of the Posei family, my Julie. pardon my ignorance. "
When the woman heard Mike's sentiment, her eyes glistened in tears. She descended from the water throne to float beside him.
"You are truly devoted to your wife, I am lucky to have you as my husband."
The cute voice of his darling wife when came from another deity countenance, Mike raised his eyebrows in utter bewilderment. Juliet slowly ascertained him about her innate power and the condition put forward by her grandfather towards his grandson-in-law. Nevertheless, she was happy that Mike was truly astounding to choose her disguise form even in front of the dazzling temptation.
Mike kissed his wife in the lake waters which created a serene picturesque under the moonlight. Their never-ending love story had started with the foundation of trust and unbounded love.
In the room, Emmy and Janet were discussing about the different clans and their power. She had enquired about the Esbertarzian Clan and their rivals to Jordan, but about the domain family's secrets, she opted to choose the Dagardian miss to hunt for more details. The more information which Janet provided somewhat gave Emmy a weird feeling, as the main pronouncement between the dominant families was; the stronger one shall make the rules. Hence, for decades, it is the Salian family who makes the final edicts in their world.
The world which they were talking about is called Vilmonark and was divided into two main domains. One was the Dark clan, named the great Esbertraz, which was mysterious but really powerful and the other was the domain of common people, also known as the dominant clan. The topmost families reigning this clan were the Salian family, then the Poseis, followed by the Agnartics and finally the Dagardian menage. Both Salian and Posei families had antecedents from the great Esbertrazian clan's disciples, but after a period, these people got arrogant and forgot their roots. The Agnartic family who were famous for their battle skills, also vied for the power but had remained inactive for years now. The last was the family who served as guards for the other dominant families and was called the Dargardian family.
Janet even told Emmy what she knew about Alex's lover. Three years ago, sudden news had shattered the peace of decades between the dark clan and the dominant clan. The marriage alliance between the Lord Vilmon and Salian family's crown prince, Envoy Salian Alexander was terminated by the groom's side and simultaneously he got engaged to the first princess of the Agnartic family, Agrona Agnartic, his childhood friend. The Esbertrazian elders got furious and tried to launch a war with the Salian as well as the Agnartic family. On the consecutive days, Vilmonark saw an insane battle between its two clans where the people from the dominant families were slaughtered like animals. It was their side which got stenched in dark red blood and all the dominant families suffered the aftermath.
Finally, with the sudden disappearances of the Lady Vilmon and Agnartic princess, the war ended. The Esbertrazian Clan secluded themselves from everything and dominant families started to expand their reigns over Vilmonark as well as on the earth.
Emmy was feeling down after hearing the details of the clan fights; however, the concern for Alex somewhat started to fade from her mind. She felt as if there was another of the story too but she was helpless to investigate it further as the two persons in the scene were already missing and the other person was a hot potato.
Emmy was feeling a bit sleepy, so without waiting for Juliet to come and narrate the first date happenings, she bid goodnight wishes to Janet and chose to return to her room. In Spite of the sleepiness in her eyes, Emmy was wandering through the corridor thinking about the missing piece which was bugging her significantly.
The main thing confusing Emmy was clearly Lord Vilmon's character. The person who stood to support love at an early age understood the power of love and took various risks to complete her parent's love story but in her youth, blindly killed the romance between two other people. Emmy was sure that the Esbertrazian miss was not a fool to let jealousy and hatred blind over her mind. Hence, all fingers pointed to the couple in the story. It must either the Agnartic miss or Alex, or both of them joined to stage a drama to cause the destruction of other clans. It must be with the knowledge of any of the two, these all things were well planned and executed.
Emmy's mind was trifled with these chaotic revelations and all the clues led to the Salian prince, the great Envoy Salian Alexander, also known as Alex; her classmate as well as bench mate.
" I never thought that you got yourself a trickle of fickle love but you deserved it. Even though Miss Vilmon was a little overboard but I don't think the root of the whole problem was her. You brought this Saudade upon yourself. "
Emmy was smiling to herself but what she didn't know that a ferocious lion waiting for her suddenly pounced on the innocent lamb.
