Juliet was hesitating to complete her sentence, her ears could not believe that the second prince had such a disgusting wish in his mind for which he even planned to kill the crown prince to achieve his motive.
Mike pacified her to take time as he thought there would be some nastic reasons but he was thoroughly shocked when he heard the reason for such an act.
" The second prince wants to make Emmy his woman."
Alex and Emmy looked at each other because they had a premonition that the second prince would try to snatch the goddaughter of the Esbertrazian clan to his side while Jordan and the Demar brothers got infuriated at this thought. How dare the underlying rascal can have fantasy over the only goddaughter of the great Esbertrazian clan?
" Relax, you all don't have to worry for the time being," Juliet replied suddenly.
" By the way you are speaking, I guess, the black world leaders might have declined his request."
Juliet was happy because Alex still had the potential to think rationality before bursting out, unlike the others. She was impressed by this behaviour as it was the profound quality to be a ruler.
" Brother-in-law, you are correct in some way, they replied that when the epitome of power arrives in this land and takes over the throne, then only they can launch an attack on our world. Till that they are powerless, absolutely powerless."
" That explains why even if they had infiltrated our clans, but not initiated any attacks by now, but the Agnartic princess couldn't control herself and accidentally used the banned drug which made their heinous crime known to everyone.
While others were thinking about the infiltration, Emmy was thinking about the person they were waiting for and the mission they commissioned to the second prince.
" Juliet, did you hear anything more about the second prince's mission?" Emmy asked curiously.
" Sorry, they just said- 'bring the item as soon as possible', the jade must be here when the true owner arrives."
After the conversation, Juliet again wanted to use her power, but others strongly opposed her and asked Mike to keep her busy. Leaving the couple to one room, the other six people returned to their own respective rooms.
Alex was feeling so tired by this time, both physically and mentally, he was exhausted, till he got hold of Emmy and was playing with a few strands of her hair. Emmy could feel that Alex was much tried by seeing his actions but he was stubborn not to sleep before she sleeps.
" Alex, I believe that what you said the other day might be true, there is some energy flowing into my body from the time we came out of that cave. All-day we didn't rest at all but I feel so refreshed now."
" Do you think that I may have some connections with the enchantress?"
When Emmy looked at Alex for an answer, she saw he was already sleeping with her hairs on his face. She smiled and hugged him, drifting slowly to sleep.
"My oh my, you are a good looking flower, but desperate to find something which you lost, right young man! ….
Hmm, just consider this old man as a soothsayer. You have come to this place because the great one wanted to help you. Heed to this advice young man, in this world, nothing is kept hidden for long and you might need to sacrifice your love to find the fated one...
Young man, I won't disclose much but believe your heart as the one whom you seek is right near you. Open your heart instead of eyes to seek."
Alex woke up with sweats running over his forehead, He was completely drenched and his clothes were pasted across his chest due to the perspiration. When Emmy arrived with morning tea for Alex, he was still sitting on the bed dazed.
" Good morning my love!!!"
Emmy kept the tray of food and tea over the table and turned to look at Alex. She was surprised to see Alex sitting on the bed like a lost soul. His eyes clearly gave off the feeling that even if his physical body is present here, his mind was somewhere else.
" Alex, what happened?"
This time Emmy raised her voice a bit, startling Alex out of wits. He looked at Emmy confusingly then his mind got adjusted, waking him up from the nightmare.
" Emmy, now I know how the inn keeper's voice was so familiar to me. I have seen him in a dream, you remember I told you Lamia showing me my true partner. Before that, an old man was saying about taking the correct decisions and to save my love at any cost."
" Here at the inn, he asked neither to lose hope nor to underestimate a woman's feeling. We have to find the innkeeper as soon as possible."
Before Alex could rush outside, Emmy stopped him and reported.
" That old man has already disappeared, he left a letter back here addressing us. it was found out by Leon, get ready and have breakfast. We will go together to check the content of the letter. "
Alex got anxious but calmed down after hearing what Emmy told. He got freshened up and after breakfast, they went to find others inside Juliet's room.
"Mike, what is written in the letter? Did you find him?"
Alex found the whole room silent after asking the question. Without saying another word, Jordan handed over a letter to him, which on the cover read like - 'For Alex'.
Alex looked at Emmy who supported him to read the letter while holding his left hand, she read the letter aloud.
" Dear boy, I know you will recognise me soon. Just understand, I'm not your enemy but a mentor more accurately. This inn, you can stay as much as you want. No one will dare to question you here but beware the leaders may get furious if they come to know your real identity. Stay away from trouble and one more thing"
