2 The Heirloom (2/2)

She stares at him for a moment, it's true and it only makes her wonders what Albert knows that she doesn't? Her family seems to hide a lot of things.

Is something happens while am sleeping? She thought.

After having dinner, she and Albert drinking tea in the library. They talk for an hour before they both decided to go to their bedroom. Albert has his own bedroom since he often visiting the family when he was a teenager.

Harrah went to her wardrobe and change her clothes into pajamas. She sits in front of the dresser and combs her hair.

She then remembered about the jewelry box her dad made for her 15th birthday but it will just open when she turns 18. She doesn't understand.

She picks up the box to check what's inside... It is truly open now she's 18, she's been trying to open it these passing years but she fails.

Nervously, Harrah opens the box, she takes out what contain inside. It was a twin dragon sword necklace. There's more inside, a red birthday card. She takes the card and read what's written inside. She runs outside rushing to her father's secret room after reading it.

*****

Happy Birthday, Princess!

Upon reading this, only means your 18th birthday finally has arrived.

I am writing this full of anticipation. I am not certain of this day, if I was still with you, with your mom and with your two little brothers.

I am frightened I no longer exist in your world.

Take this Twin Dragon Sword necklace and show it to Bart or Oliver, whoever has a duty today, they will let you pass.

Did you remember the riddles I used to play with you?

Yes, the answer along with your birthday... that's the password in my secret room.

Go and open the room. All your silent questions, it is about time to answer them, not only that, there's more...

When you entered the secret room, you will find a book. You can read it, but the contents of that book will reveal itself inside you. Also, you will find something on the last page.

Take the Dragon Sword pendant.

And oh, before I forgot... this twin dragon sword necklace is given to me by my grandmother who passes to her from our ancestors for 3000 years.

You will know more soon.

Love,

Dad

Harrah breathed heavily, she's sweating from running the stairs, her dad's secret room was on top of this castle.

”Princess Harrah, it is almost midnight,” Oliver stopped her, ”Do you need something? I will call the butler--”

”No. I am here for this,” She shows the necklace to the two guards.

Oliver and Klaus glance at each other, then they step aside in the middle of the hallway and bows at her.

Harrah's heart beating so fast. Her steps are shaking towards the secret room. Yes, she's shaking in excitément with fear.

She is now in front of the door... she types the password and the room opens.

She steps inside and what she saw shocks her a lot.

The room filled with paintings hanging all over the walls and every corner.

But the paintings, it has drawn the places she never been before or seen anything like from this world... nor the faces of the people in the paintings.

Harrah just then remembered about her dreams passing year, especially the one from this morning. They are exactly what she dreamed.
