Chapter 229 - Bk 2 (12)

"Well, it's quite hard to explain." he said,

"Make it short; I am leaving for the palace to ask His Majesty of your mistress and my brother's whereabouts. I must understand the words I say." she said and Guard Holden eagerly nodded.

"Lady Wickshire is daughter of Lord Torgenn. She has been one of the most feared names in noble society since the death of her mother. The Ligrel clan is one of the ancients, an entity higher than the first rate kingdoms on This-side. My Lady is their last heir. The Harnian gate is a new name to us. We only know of the gates today after that incident. Thriergor is among the many worlds that are handled by the Harnian gate. During the opening of the alignment battleground, Lady Wickshire destroyed the entire Harnian gate. It was the great wind storm that blew in a few weeks ago, destroying many properties in lots of kingdoms and killing many." he explained.

"The Alignment battleground?" she asked.

"All we know of this is that the ancients participate amongst other worlds and I hear even more, realms." he explained and Amie's breathing turned shallow.

"And my brother was there?" she asked.

"Yes. He was at the opening with Lady Wickshire. I hear the battleground is still open and the event is still going on." he nodded.

"I see." she took in a deep breath and Walked out of the study and Guard Holden followed hurriedly. He knew this was Lord Steinhouse's sister and since the morning, Lord Steinhouse left, he held great respect for this legendary figure. He did not expect just some time later, he would be even more legendary. Though his sister did not know much, she was still his blood relative. His Lordship trusted her to look after his interests in his absence; there must be a reason, so he must help out as much as possible.

"Do you really think that His Majesty will really know where they are, dare I ask?" he asked as she made her way out of the manor towards the waiting carriage.

"He is probably the only one who knows; he and Lord Morge." she said and her maid helped her unto the carriage.

"To the palace." she ordered and Beth nodded and informed the driver.
