Chapter 34 Royal family of Atlantia 2 (1/2)

”I want to know if you just want her because she is of some use to you.” Robert looked at Leon with a piercing gaze. ”Because she is a descendant of the royal family of Atlantia.”

Leon and Robert had locked gazes. There was silence in the room. Their aura are overwhelming.

'General Robert is really something. He can talk to the crown prince like an equal and isn't affected with the overwhelming aura.' Dimitri thought. He was in the room with them all that time but he was like an ant in a lion's den. These two people have an aura of greatness that he feels he is just a small existence.

”You think I want Alicia because she has the blood of the royal family of Atlantia?” Leon asked sarcastically.

”Yes.” Robert said. ”Royal family of Atlantia has distinct features that only the old ones remember. They have platinum blonde hair and silver eyes.”

”And you think I know of this?” Leon asked. ”As you said only the old ones remember the features of the royal family of Atlantia. Their history has been erased from history books of this continent. Just by mentioning their name is taboo.”

”Don't take me as a fool crown prince. I maybe old but I am not ignorant. I know the knowledge network of Grandcrest.” Robert said.

”Hahahaha, you are really something old man.” Leon laughed. ”Yes I have known since the first time I laid my eyes on Alicia.”

A flash of anger passed on Robert's face.

”Yes, I will confess I saw her as a good chess piece for me to use at first.” Leon said. ”But after each passing day, I come to know her better. Bit by bit my heart warmed towards her. Now I am sure I won't have anyone to be my queen other than her.”

”Be sure to remember your word young man.” Robert said with a hint of a threat. ”She is a sweet and charming girl. I don't want her to suffer in the future.”

”I will be sure to make her strong. She may be bullied but she has to learn how to stand on her own two feet, to fight with her own power.” Leon smiled. ”I will shape her to be a woman who can hold power and won't be beaten down easily.”

”I will hold you on your word young crown prince.” Robert said.

”Do not worry general Robert, I always follow up on my word.” Leon said. ”I will make sure to protect her from danger now that she is still weak.”

Robert sighed. 'If Leon knows about the royal family of Atlantia then it is not far fetch that others may know of Alicia as well.' He thought.

”Alicia may be in danger if the ones researching the forbidden magic finds her.” Robert said. ”I need you to keep her safe. And I am not against it for making her stronger. I think it will be for her own good as well.”
