The group gathered at the dark towers early in the morning. The group consisted of Alex and his friends including the new couples as well as the elders of the Esbertrazian clan along with Galstorie.
From the time he arrived, Galstorie was just observing how Emmy and Alex interacted with each other. He was sure that this woman in front of him was no simpleton and was a good match for his master's son but is she trustworthy? what if she also turned out to be like that wretched woman who made master pioneer those nasty things. As Galstorie was submerged in his own thoughts, Emmy suddenly addressed his name.
" Elder Galstorie, we know why you have come here in the pretext of finding your queen who never wanted to be the queen of the Zucathore clan. Judging your attitude towards the search, it is evident that the one who you are searching is right in front of you, isn't it? You might have wanted to search the queen first but then you enquired and came to know the person you call as the queen, Lady Triana Yalasgue died years ago but her son Alexandrian Envoy Salian is the current crown prince of the Salian clan. So you came straight to seek him for various reasons. What do you think, am I correct?"
Galstorie wanted to appreciate Emmy for her straight to point talk and he looked at Alex, who was standing there with a cold expression. After seeing his important person staring at him with such an expression, Galstorie knew this time if he decides to remain quiet and hide all those secrets, the master's son would pay no attention even if anyone throws him out.
" Girl, isn't it a bit rude talking to an elder like this, that too, the only elder left in your future husband's family?"
Hearing Galstorie all the elders felt anger inside but before they could protest against him Alex took control fiercely.
" Did I even consider you as my elder? One more thing, you might be the only person left of the Zucathore family but I don't care for a family which I had no connections from the day I was born. This is my woman, disrespecting her would make you face my wrath, remember it while you stay here."
Emmy loved the way Alex stood for her, a smile bloomed over her lips and glistened her eyes. She held his hand softly and leaned over his shoulders. By her actions, Alex knew what he did was the right thing. Standing up for your loved one is much better than leaving her lonely for her safety. He had learnt from his past mistake, this time he won't let go of the precious woman ever.
The love birds totally were in their world while the Esbertrazian elders admired seeing Alex taking action. This young man was just like their great lord in taking actions but their lord lacked only the courage to let go of his past. If he had let go of first love and accepted either sorceress or enchantress, their life would have been so different now
" Hmm, young man, I think before you also get lost in feelings, you have to know what had happened to the Zucathore clan in real life. I thought of avenging my master alone as making things known to you may put your life in danger. However, you are just like your father and have no ability in choosing what is right or wrong when in love. "
Galstorie stopped for a moment and then after looking at the intertwined hands of the couple, he slowly walked towards the window.
" Our Lord was not satisfied with his only son being naive but he didn't know that his son was training in secret. Apart from him being soft-hearted, physically he was unbeatable but gets emotionally weak. His emotional state shattered the day when he heard his father chose someone else over him to be the leader of the core power. "
"However, our lord had different plans, he had actually created two beings and gave them half of his powers. While the two women he created were treated with pride, my master was given the position of the head of the Zucathore clan. He was happy and life passed just like that. In spite of having all the powers, one of the women was keen on controlling the whole core power to which my master, as well as our benefactor, raised their concerns from time to time. Finally, on the day of the coronation, our supreme lord passed all his powers to the black enchantress. Our clan was celebrated that day grandly but we didn't know that it somehow made us enemies in someone's eyes.
She frequently started my master and slowly due to her interaction, the first love which he had hidden inside his heart bloomed once again for the girl whom he met in the forests. That witch, incited ideas to my master's head which resulted in the whole annihilation of the mysterious Yalasgue clan. The rest of the things you know very well."
Elder Lathodore and elder Miandrake were utterly shocked, they wanted to present this Zucathore slave with a punch on his face but kept quiet whereas elder Rotrigues was more rebellion. He directly shouted at Galstorie's face.
" How dare you say about the black enchantress, what can a measly man like you know about the real enchantress."
"Enchantress, never would I dare to lift my eyelids against her, you are just hopelessly uttering absurd things."
Now everyone in the room except Galstorie was looking at each other with their eyes open. Even if the four elders trusted the enchantress but they believed the other person was more angelic and innocent when compared with the vicious and cunning enchantress.
" So are you saying that the Sorceress was..."
" Yes, Lathodore… she was the evil one.. she did everything. First, she tried to destroy the beautiful relationship between my master and the enchantress, whom we considered as our benefactor when she couldn't do that. She schemed well and my master couldn't see through her. After the brutal war, when I saw my master for the final time, he just said one thing… protect his wife, but I could only let her escape from the clutches of the sorceress."
Alex was looking at Emmy as he remembered how she had guessed this result before, but how could she possibly know things even when it was hidden from everyone for years.
" I believe that pure sorceress is the true villainous of this trio. Her eyes are saying a lot of things."
Emmy was also thinking about the same scenario where she had mentioned this before.
" This means every fragment is true but still some pieces are still not matching properly. Galstorie, if the enchantress was the benefactor of your clan, why didn't she help the Zucathore from the verge of extinction?"
" I don't know, maybe she was busy with her own matters… and..."
Alex slowly raised his eyes, which made Galstorien a bit shivered. He opened up his mouth to speak but no words came.
" Lad, after your father kidnapped your mother and forced on her, the enchantress had broken all ties with him but still she came after fighting over her side. "
Alex nodded his head but Emmy raised a question, " A Zucathore person came here to seek help even if his master. Just tell me are you a friend or a foe to the Esbertrazian clan?"
Galstorie now completely admired Emmetina as her sense of observation was much farther than any other girl of her age. He silently prayed for their well being and wished that his master should have also got a companion like this little girl.
" Can you please tell me about the relation between mother and our father " Alex requested?
The Zucathore elder felt ashamed of himself to answer this young man's question. How can he say that his mother was kidnapped and brutally forced to marry the Zucathore clan head? How can he say that his mother never once loved his father?
"Complicated, it was good that your mother never intended to kill the fruit which she bore with him. Your mother could never love your father as he had crossed his limits on their day itself."
Emmy felt Alex should not take any more blow today, so she apparently asked the elders to excuse them and they walked away. But with every step she took, Emmy looked at Galstories with a threat in her eyes.
" Dare to lie, you will meet the devil soon. Her green eyes shone freaking Galstorie out completely"
