Chapter 58 Hidden lineage 2 (1/2)

I process all of the information my grandpa was telling me. So there was a country much more stronger than Grandcrest. They can wield magic arts. But because they had a mad king that ruined it, their country now lies in the depths of the sea.

”But what does my mother have to do with the country of Atlantia?” I asked. ”Don't tell me that she is a princess from Atlantia?”

My grandpa looked at me with seriousness. ”You are correct there.”

I looked at him with shock.

”You are telling me that my mother is really a princess form the country of Atlantia?” I asked again.

”Her distinct features that you also share says it all.” Grandpa said. ”As I know the last king of Atlantia had three children. The eldest, the crown prince, I know was with us in the Upgrove Plains in the last battle. He also perished with his father. The other two were twin girls. They were only ten years old when the battle on the Upgrove Plains occurred.”

”So you mean my mother is one of the twins? That she was able to escape the distraction of Atlantia.” All of these information are now processing in my head.

”The first time I saw your mother, I knew instantly that she is the lost princess.” Grandpa said.

”But how could you tell just by her features. I mean, yes platinum blonde hair and silver eyes are rare indeed. But how could you tell that she really is the princess?” I was really searching for proof that what my grandpa says is true.

Grandpa sighed. ”I told you that Atlantian's can use magic arts, correct?” He said.

”Yes.” I replied.

”I saw her with my own two eyes using magic when she was still a maid here in the palace.” Grandpa said. ”It was a small harmless magic, she used it to make the dead flowers in the garden bloom again. A feat only the royal family of Atlantia can do. She didn't know that I was watching her in secret.”

'Magic arts.' I thought to myself. Then something dawned on me.

”The young man that abducted me...” I said unfinished.

”What you are thinking is correct.” It was Leon that spoke. ”That man could manipulate water, like I could manipulate fire.”

I looked at Leon in shock. If I recall correctly, when he was dueling with the young man, he too manipulated fire. Then is he an Atlantian too?

”Yes, Alicia.” Leon answered my unspoken question. ”I have Atlantian blood. My mother was Atlantian.”

”Then if my mother is an Atlantian, then that makes me one as well. I have Atlantian blood flowing in my veins.” I said in realization. ”But I have never exhibited or had signs of using any magic abilities.”

”That is where you are mistaken.” Leon said. ”You have used magic before, you just didn't know it.”

I was confused. 'I have used magic back then? But how?' I asked myself.

Then my white cat Snow jumped on my bed and curled up beside me.

”Snow is one example.” Leon said.

”Snow?” I asked confused.

”Do you remember the incident with your step sister Elizabeth?” Leon asked.
