Chapter 20 Chapter: 020 Divine Blood (1/2)

After giving him a kiss on the cheek, Layla let go and quickly ran away with a red face like a tomato.

Watching her run away, Elijah did not understand why she was so nervous, he knew that kiss on the cheek was a kind of greeting he had seen before and he and Chloe had already kissed each other cheeks several times.

he looked at his father.

”Father can we go now?”

Henry's face sudenly dakened as he remembered what they had discused on the meeting.

The Briles Kingdom has been gathering soldiers and rations for years and they can attack at any time and now that he knew his son was alive, how could he let him stay here in danger?

”Son, come with me.” Henry took Elijah's arm and walked back home.

Although he was young, Elijah could feel by his tone, that his father had called him for something important.

...

Reaching the garden, a ornate grass field is surrounded by scented hedges and shrubs could been seen.

A greenhouse stands near the back of the garden, sheltering exotic herbs and butterflies.

The rows of herbs are quite grown, beeing of several types and sizes.

Henry made a hand gesture, that made the ground tremble as a passageway opened from the greenhouse floor.

”Ell, come with me. Let's go to the treasury.” Henry smiled before entering the passage.

”The Treasury?” Elijah was astonished.

Since his birth, Elijah has only stayed in the main castle or library. He never entered the other buildings in the back, hardly anyone went there and never heard of a treasure room in the garden.

At the end of the passage was a closed door.

Following his father, Elijah entered the door.

Sensing someone's presence in the room, all candles lit up illumitating the the entire hall that immediately became very bright. Elijah could instantly see many scrolls, artfact placed arround the hall.

Elijah saw his father taking a letter from the middle of the treasure room together with a marble box.

Looking at his son, he sighed. ”I never thought i would have to use this.”

Elijah was very nervous. In the entire room, aside from the sounds of the candles, no sound was heard. The quiet was terrifying, creating an oppressive feeling on him.

Suddenly, Henry turned and focused his gaze on the letter then on Elijah. And with a heavy voice, he said. ”Son, today, there are many things you must know. But first, let me tell you a bit about the Gods.”

Elijah could feel his heart thumping frantically.

”Gods? What can it be?” In his heart, Elijah was feeling so curious, that he didn't dare to make a sound.
