"So may I kindly ask the two of you why you called for us?" Emperor Adler who was sitting at the chair in the middle of the long table, leaned his elbows against it and tilted his head to his left with a very curious look on his face.
"I do ask for your forgiveness because we suddenly made the three of you come here and meet us without even making a schedule–" Ashleah bowed her head.
"We just wanted to tell you that, I and Ashleah found out that Prescott also knows about our plan." They both saw how Emperor Adler had this relaxed face to a very amused one but he had a grinning smile on his lips.
"I do think that, Duke Deoncan, Axis, and myself deserves the truth about it. We still are part of that plan, why are you hiding it to us? Most especially you Prescott, I really thought that I was your Master." Ashleah placed her palm on her forehead while shaking her head.
"W-Wait, you found that out without me-"
"It's about that time inside the temple, Axis." Nash calmly responded to Axis and warmly smiled at him. They should not create a commotion for now and patiently wait for His Majesty or either Prescott would finally speak up about the situation.
"I was planning on telling you sooner or later, but what could I expect really? When we do combine your intelligence especially when we also add Axis the three of you would probably be unstoppable." Emperor Adler stood up from his seat as he chuckled lightly. "And yes, you were right. We've been hiding it to you guys, since Prescott also told me something more about his powers."
With that, Prescott suddenly flew up and started to talk, he was saying those words that no one inside the room could understand but after that suddenly this raying light covered Prescott making the trios eyes widened.
A tall man who had this fair skin, had the pearl lavender hair, and sky blue eyes, and a majestic smile. Ashleah started coughing loudly as she slowly made a conclusion why Prescott suddenly faded away through thin air.
"Forgive me for I did hide you that we had a power to become humans when we want to-"
"Oh God." That was the only words that came out from her mouth, and then Ashleah lost her consciousness. She can hear them calling for her name, but she still closed her eyes.
Ashleah slowly opening her eyes and was welcomed by this very majestic and beautiful sky blue eyes of.. "Master! I am very truly deeply sorry for suddenly turning into a human being without your permission-"
"Prescott you are very pretty!" Ashleah who was still half awake suddenly blurts out, making Nash, Axis, and Emperor Adler who was at the side widened their eyes. She suddenly became so blunt with her words!
"Wh-What?" Prescott blinked his eyes, and there she saw how curled up and long his lashes was. Ashleah who was still out of it, tried to reach out and touch his eyelashes but before she could even touch Prescott there was this hand who stopped her.
Nash cleared his throat and puts Ashleah's hand back where it was earlier and sighed heavily. "Prescott, she's really not fully awake yet, see she looks so stupi-"
Ashleah's eyes suddenly opened widely, quickly sitting up she glared at Nash. "I am not stupi-"
"Oh! Look, she's fully awake now!" Nash did a fake amused look on his face making everyone inside the room chuckle, Ashleah blinked her eyes and looked at Prescott again.
"Prescott, is that your only secret?" She tilted her head to her right to take a better look at the very beautiful man right in front of him- 'I MEAN EVERYONE INSIDE THIS VERY ROOM IS SO BEAUTIFUL!' Ashleah thought.
While Ashleah was lost in thoughts Emperor Adler chuckled and shook his head. "Well then, please do call Riley for Ashleah to be taken care of. Daughter, please do go to the private chambers inside the palace soon after, we will be waiting for you."
She nodded her head, Ashleah soon then pulled the golden colored rope beside her that was used to call Nanny Riley, After they left the room, Nanny Riley came running in.
"Her Imperial Highness, Princess of Genry. Greetings!" She did a little curtsy and quickly ran to Ashleah, still having some space away from her. "My, your highness what happened to you!? Duke Deoncan suddenly came running in and needed the royal doctor for you!"
Ashleah sighed and shook her head. "Do not worry Nanny, I was just a little bit of shocked due to what Father told me. I do want to take a bath right now." She said, as she slowly stretched her body.
"Of course, of course. I will take care of it right away!" She nodded her head and walked her way inside the large bathroom of Ashleah.
The Princess stood up and blinked her eyes a couple of times while staring at the large window inside her room. She suddenly felt uneasy.
"Seems like we have to tighten up the securi–" BOOGSH! She tilted her head, yet there was a scratch from the arrow that suddenly came rushing in her room making the window crash.
She did not scream nor was in a state of panic, her eyes widened as her breathing started to be unstable. Heart was beating fast like it was in some kind of race.
As if it was in some korean dramas that she used to watch she saw how the second arrow came rushing to her in slow motion, Ashleah could not even move a single muscle.
It may seem like it's quite embarrassing, yet she froze on the spot. As she saw it coming closer, she then again tried to move her head again, but suddenly in a split second, the human form of Prescott appeared right in front of her.
She was facing her back and she saw how those sky blue eyes suddenly turned into red. "Tch." His eyebrows furrowed, he held the arrow and stopped it mid way.
"P-Prescott–" Ashleah could not even finish what she was saying when suddenly Prescott's hair rose up with his flaming eyes.
"AGH!" A loud scream from a certain tree right in front of Ashleah's room was heard. She did not process it that fast, she was speechless.
"I'm sorry Master, I'm late." He looked at her with those sad eyes, she was about to speak up when suddenly his eyes turned into red again. "Y-You have a cut."
"No, I'm fine hey!" Prescott let's go of the arrow, he raised his hand like he was holding someone. Prescott broke the window and then, a man suddenly came flying inside her room, he was wearing a black cape.
"Who are you and you dare to hurt my Master and the Imperial Princess Ashleah Izel!" His voice echoed around Ashleah's chambers, she saw how Nanny Riley trembled. Ashleah gave her a warm smile and shook her head.
Foot steps can be heard, and the Emperor, Nash, and Axis finally came with Gab and Kian and the other knights behind them.
"Ashleah!" Nash did not waste anytime and ran to her, with his trembling hands he held her cheeks and checked up on her. "Ah shit, you have this wound. It hurts doesn't it? Let me ask Axis if he can use his holy power now–"
"Nash don't, you do know that Axis still can't control it. Stop, it's just a scratch." She looked at his eyes, telling him that it's going to be alright. Nash just nodded his head and looked at the man with a cape.
"Who are you?" Emperor Adler blurts out. His voice was full of authority that would definitely give you shivers down your spine.
"It's a secret." The man who had a cape replied giving another shiver down Ashleah's spine, suddenly another arrow came rushing in, Prescott held it tightly to the point that it broke in half.
Suddenly, the man disappeared earning a–
"DON'T LET HIM GO!" shout from Emperor Adler, Prescott, Nash, and Axis. Prescott disappeared trying to catch the man, Nash and Emperor Adler was about to run but when Axis screamed suddenly–
A glowing light was around his, his eyes suddenly glowed gold. "WHAT THE FUCK?" Ashleah screamed.
