Chapter 182 What Happened while I was Asleep? (2/2)

”The news I caught was that your father is demanding for you to be returned to Alvannia safe and sound. And rather than marrying you to the crown prince of Jennova, he demanded prince Gladiolus to honor his word and marry Princess Elizabeth instead.” Jack said. ”Those are your father's demands. As of now prince Gladiolus accepted marrying your sister to honor his word. He is now traveling to your country to marry her.”

”But Jennova hasn't replied about me yet?” I asked.

”I think the queen is still hesitant in giving you back. But with half of the demands being met, King Edward has given half of his army to aid Jennova.” Jack looked at me with sad eyes.

I am pained that my father is helping Jennova in this war. But a part of me still believes in my father. He hasn't given the full force of the Alvannian army, meaning he has not yet allied himself with Jennova whole heartedly.

”I think my aunt needs me for something.” I said truthfully.

”Then that means we need to find a way to take you out of here and escape as quickly as possible.” Jack said. ”And I will also get out of this freezing hell at last.” His mouth was arched in a wide smile.

”No, I can't leave her yet.” I said with a serious tone.

”W-WHAT?!” Jack was shocked. ”But princess, the king has said to rescue you in the soonest possible time. I am afraid that he will have my head if I don't follow. You know he is really very scary.” He made a frightened face.

”Oh come on Jack, Leon isn't that scary.” I giggled with his comically frightened face.

”Maybe with you he isn't. But to others he really is suuuuppper scary.” Jack replied. ”So please, let's just get out of here.” He pleaded.

”I can't yet. I need to find information about the forbidden magic. My aunt is planning to revive and use it in this war.” I explained. ”You can help me send a letter to him right?”

”Yes, I can send your letter discreetly if that's what you wish.” Jack said with a sad face. ”Oh wait, the forbidden magic do you mean THE forbidden magic that sank the country of Atlantia?” Jack asked with curiosity in his eyes.

”You know about it?” I asked him. Not everyone knows about the country of Atlantia because it was erased in the history of this continent. Not many books about Atlantia remain.

”Well my father is an Atlantian Scholar.” Jack grinned and my eyes grew wide in surprise.

”You mean you are part Atlantian as well?” I grabbed his shirt collar and started to shake him. ”Why didn't you say so before? Wait I think I have heard this information, where did I hear about this before?”

”E-Easy princess. I am getting dizzy.” Jack said.

I thought very hard and then remembered Anna, the one that read my fortune.

”Wait, is your father's name George Wilson?” I asked Jack. This was the name given by Anna that she said can help me with the prophecy.

”Yep, that's my old man.” Jack looked at me with curious eyes. ”But how did you know his name?”

I quickly scrambled to my bed side table. My belongings that my aunt thought was safe were given to me. The crystal Anna has given to me looked like an ordinary jewel and so it was given back to me. I took it from the bedside table and quickly trotted back to Jack. He was looking at me dumbfounded.

”I don't know if this will work.” I said. This place is made with janetite stone, but it won't harm to try. As I know janetite stops a person with magic abilities in using magic, but maybe magical objects can still be used.

I held the crystal inside my closed palm and opened it slowly. At first nothing happened, the crystal maintained its clear color. When my hopes went down the crystal became warm. When I looked at it again the crystal had a faint glow. Not long the glow became brighter and the color became clearer, it was bright red.

”Hey hey, I thought we can't use any magic inside this palace. Why can you do that?” Jack asked me with a curious look.

”I am not using magic. This is a magical object given to me by Anna, a fellow Atlantian.” I explained.

The crystal that was giving a bright red light lessened it's brightness to a warm red. 'Red color, meaning the red star.'

I looked at Jack and was sure in an instant that he was the red star in the vision I have seen. Then I remember Anna's words. 'The person that red star represents might have a way. I believe that star might hold a key to change the course of fate.'

”Jack, I think you are the only one that can help me.” I said with realization.

”I don't know what you mean princess, but with my greatness I am sure I can do many things let alone help you.” Jack grinned.
