Chapter 398 - Release Fleur (2/2)

”B- but My Queen-”

Adrianna took her hand forward to cut him off. ”How can she be released?”

”If we release her who would become your personal security guard?” asked Isidorus as if he never trusted anyone else.

”I would like a Mozia to be my personal guard. Can that happen?”

Isidorus contemplated on the option and said, ”That can happen but there is a small problem. The Mozia are not loyal to the person, they are loyal to the crown and the ruler. So as long as you are the ruler, they would guard you with their life, but they would leave you the minute you are not the ruler. However, with Fleur it is different. She is bonded to save you for her life. If we release her from her duty, she would no longer be able to use her magic and possible even cease to exist as a witch. She would turn into a mere human who is mortal. Once she becomes a mortal, would Liam be able to take that pain?”

Dmitri stopped munching as he lost his appetite on hearing about the fate of his friend. Adrianna gaped at Isidorus in fear and misery. ”What do you mean Isidorus?”

Isidorus took a deep breath and said, ”Howard was not having children for a long time. He approached the Wizard Queen at that time who had the powers to grant him the wish. Shira granted him the wish but everything comes with a price. She said that the first born would have to serve as a personal guard to the ruler of the kingdom. Desperate to have a child, Howard agreed and Fleur was born. After her, he had three more babies but out of them, only she was owned by the Palace. The wish had to be fulfilled the moment we came to know about you and she was sent to guard you even when you were not the queen.”

”So does that mean that if we release her from this, she has to pay with her personality, with what she is? She has to sacrifice her magic?”

”Yes,” said Isidorus nonchalantly.

”Does she know about it?” asked Dmitri because he knew that Liam surely didn't know about it.

”No, she doesn't. We haven't told her this.”

Adrianna gulped. This was such a difficult situation. She wanted to help Fleur but to what end? She couldn't even think of Liam's loss once Fleur would die as a mortal. ”We will tell this to the two of them and leave the decision on them. It is for them to decide. However, if Fleur wants to be released, we will release her,” said Adrianna and got up from there. She was feeling suffocated.

”Okay, my Queen,” replied Isidorus.

Adrianna could read the sadness in his mind. He appeared like a tough old man but he cared a lot for Fleur. Howard and Ed were one of his best friends. When she went outside, her eyes locked with Fleur and she smiled.
