An older gentleman with a black and dark blue suit approach her, the man is tall with short dark brown hair and glasses he looks smart and handsome, one of his hand is hidden behind the pocket "May I seat Princess" he asks with a soft voice.

​​

She nods her head weakly, the young man seat next to her than the little girl lifts her head "Uncle steve is mother going to be okay?" her eyes begin to watery.

His Real name is Stephan Louis Knoxville he is one of the Archknight who serves king Marcus, he never married and never have children (The jokes on him though) he treated the Princess and Prince just like his own child, he patted his head gently.

"She….she will be fine" he didn't know how to comfort this little girl, the Queen's condition is getting worst only gods knows how long she can last "Where's Lucas?"

She shrugs her shoulder "I think he is in a library, he always hides inside the library when he's sad" she rests her chin on the head plush doll.

Stephan let out a long sigh, he wrapped his hand around her shoulder "Everything is gonna be okay, you'll see"

Suddenly the door in front of them opens, a dashing man got out from the room, he's wearing a dark suit with Lucient insignia brooch on his right chest and the chain tassel connect to his left chest, the man has the same dark bluish hair and purple iris, the stubble on his face make him look more dignified. Stephan raised from his seat, he put his hand on his left chest and bow courteously "You're majesty" he said solemnly.

King Marcus nods his heads than he beckoned his daughter "Lory, you're Mothe want to see you"

Lory bites her lips than she climbed down from the couch, the clenched on her door become tighter, she look his Father in worry looks, his father smiles warmly at her than he strokes the top of her head "Don't worry, you're mother condition today is a lot better" he reassured her "Hurry, she misses you"

Lory looks relief "Yes, Father"

Lory enter the room while her Father closes the door from the outside, with the sound of click the room becomes quiet, Stephan approach the king "Marc, how is Lorein condition?" he used to call each other without tittle when there's no one around there relationship is beyond superior and subordinated they were grown up together, play together and fight together, the king's and the Archknight are inseparable.

Marcus shakes his head helplessly as his eyes gradually become red, Stephan grimace he clenched Marcus shoulder tightly but he have no words to comfort his dear friend, Marcus look down and he covers her mouth with his palms, there's no sound but his body trembles profusely, Stephan balled his fist and he takes a deep breath to control his emotion, he knew how much Marcus love Lorenna, without her Marcus would never be the same.

Zargan and the other two arch knight, Reynald and Dorian enter the room, their movement stops when he saw Marcus and Stephan in grief, Zargan and the others stare at Stephan with question look than Stephan shakes his head with somber expression only than they understand and they look each other in sorrow.

"Hello, sweety" a beautiful woman with blue eyes and long blonde hair smiles at her, even though she looks pale and weak but it didn't affect her beauty at all, for Lory her Mother is the most beautiful woman in the world.

"Mother" Lory clenched her plush doll without notice.

"Don't look like that, come….sit here" she tapped the surface in front of her.

Lory climb to the bed where she sits in front of her mother, Lorenna leaned her back on the comfy headboard she looks at the little girl in front of her, the beautiful purple eyes, the smooth white skin, her cherry red lips, and that beautiful bluish hair that she adored so much, her daughter is so beautiful how she wishes she would see her grown up and become the beautiful woman she would be but then again….she does saw it…but not in a good way.

"My princess" she sighs than she smiles sweetly "How are you today? Did you do something interesting?" she tugs her hair behind Lory's ear, her voice is weak but soft.

"I make cupcake…I want to give it to you, but the cake is burn…," she said dejectedly.

"What, oh honey that's too bad, don't be sad…its okay…" she chuckles "Where's Lucas, I thought he would come with you"

Lory shakes her head "Lucas hiding inside the Library, everyone tries to find him but they wouldn't find him…."

"But you can" Lorena squint her eyes mischievously.

"Yup, only me who could find him!" Lory said proudly.

Lorenna tilted her head with a smile "The twins will always find each other, my moon and sun…" she muttered but there's a deep sadness in her voice.

"Don't worry mother, I will take care Lucas, I'm a big sister so this is my job you don't have to worry" she puffs her chest.

"My daughter is so reliable, how lucky I am" Lorenna strokes her head lovingly.

Lory becomes bashful "I will take care Father too and uncle steve, uncle zargy, Uncle ray and….uncle Dory, oh they're also aunty Camy too" she used her finger to count everyone.

Lorne giggles softly "But if you protect everyone who will protect you?" she raised her eyebrow.

"Uhm…." Lory search left and right then she lifts her plush doll "Girsha would!" she exclaimed.

Lory burst in lough it took a while for her to calm down, she stroked the bird plush doll she was made for her when Lory was three years old, that also the day when she begins to hunt by that awful dreams "Let's make an agreement than…" she poked lory nose "You can protect everyone and anyone because Mother and Father would protect you"

"Really?" Lory's face beamed with joy "Father too?" she asked excitedly.

"Of course…." She nods her head "And our soul will never rest until you are safe, That I can promise you" she raised her pinky finger, Lory nods her head happily than she hooks her pinky with her mother pinky both of them than sway there fingers.
