Over where? Where can he find Daniela at that hour? He doesn't even know where his room is! The only certainty he had was that it was not in the northeast tower of the castle, there was the room of his friend's parents. What's it gonna do? Stopping panting in the arched passageway, he took a breath, thought, thought as he leaned against the wall. There are no rooms on the ground floor. The northwestern tower is where he lives, northeast of. The tower in the southwest has a ground floor and first floor as a barracks as well as southeast to the basement.

Luana took another breath, trying to control her racing heartbeat. If you do not find anything on the ground floor.The floor above is mostly a place to live. But so many! How will you find him? There is only one way to the first floor—which he knows—and it will be through a portico full of servants where maybe—breathe again—there may be people there who know.

Putting aside the busyness in order not to damage her hairstyle and makeup and also not to drop her crown, Luana rushed to follow the straight corridor to the salon. Thankfully it was not too far away. Gripping her dress skirt, she scanned the hall with her high senses, trying to find some servants that she was at least familiar with and more trustworthy. Amidst the crowd, he caught a glimpse of a golden strand and headed in that direction. Lua easily recognized him from a distance of several meters due to his gentle expression, in contrast to his non-existent twin brother.

Mahasiah was carrying a silver jug, possibly containing wine, and was exchanging words with a woman who appeared to be only a few years older than Lua and had curly brown hair on her back. Lua finally stopped beside the two of them, who, after recognizing her, respected her even more. The queen waved her hand silently for them to get up.

"Mahasiah, can you tell me where Princess Daniela is?" He looked at the blonde, looking into her eyes.

- My sister Melahel helped her get ready in her room - the girl replied without retreating, facing her directly.

"Mahasiah," hissed a warning from his friend.

- You? — Lua asked, speaking to the brunette this time.

“Laila, Your Highness.” Other short bows. "Hamba to Miss Merleah."

“Oh, sure.” Luana clicked her tongue to the roof of her mouth. “Dark as night. Interesting..” I smile.

The maid of Merleah and her name may be a spy from the shadows. I have to be smart.

— Well Mahasiah — Luana finally turned to that waitress again — can you take me to Daniela? I'm still not used to the dangerous corridors of the castle...

The girl looked at the jug in her hand in a daze and Laila stretched her hand towards him.

“Give me, Mahasiah, I'll take it. Bring the queen to the princess - Laila took the jug from the blonde's arm and she nodded in thanks, moving closer to Luana.

— Please follow me — says Mahasiah heading to the stairs, Lua according.

In silence, the two reached the top of the stairs and Mahasiah looked at the chaos below, making an almost invisible step for Luana to follow. As they entered the curved corridor without glass, Mahasiah stopped, taking his place. Luana doesn't know why, but she does the same, finding everything free. Slowly, still watching everything, Mahasiah turned to Luana, his eyes sharp. Lua now evaluated it with a hint of confusion, something she did not allow. The blonde girl in front of him tensed up, her back was more upright than usual, her hands tightly clutching her dress skirt: nervous. Indeed, his words would soon justify so much tension.

“Daniela was in a secret room outside her room in a meeting with Zoey and Melahel. I can't say that there, and even here it's not safe. I warn you to prepare yourself and not to be surprised, ”whispers are barely audible, still observing the passageway.

"Okay, thank you." Luana approached, nodding towards the hallway in front.

There was someone approaching the two corridors behind, if they were not in a hurry, they would probably see them talking there. Mahasiah also noticed, as he complied, still tense and with hasty strides. Luana easily followed him, speed was also something no less than him. They passed through the door of a room with no signs of people and finally stopped in front of a large ebony door with a round golden handle with a fine engraving. One in each double door handle.

Without ceremony, Mahasiah opened it, gave Luana space to pass by and then closed it behind her. The queen found herself inside a beautifully furnished hall, with a crimson armchair in front of a roaring fireplace, its walls hung with paintings and tapestries. The rest consists of sofas and shelves with books that are very well organized, perhaps even in alphabetical order - if it were Daniela, it wouldn't be strange at all -, '' he said, the place was lit by a magic torch while the stone floor was almost all covered.with a rug as beautiful as that which left you breathless.

On the opposite wall was a pair of black wooden doors that inevitably opened into the dining room or office. But Mahasiah went to another pair of doors closer—a door that no doubt opened into the room extensively—and opened it without a sound, closing it as soon as Luana passed by. The place was empty, as expected. But the sapphire silk sheets on the big bed were a bit messy. In front of the dying fireplace, another dark red armchair had some clothes thrown backwards.

Curtains with a darker blue color are partially drawn and dressers in the corners are stacked high with items. There were also two more shelves there with some books, random objects, and weapons that might be forgotten for some time. On a table in front of one of the windows, more books and paper. Maybe Daniela ended up having one or two flaws: messy and nerdy, it seems. Mahasiah sighed deeply and with a hint of disdain next to Luana.

“Melahel and I tried to convince him to let us clean up the mess on this shelf, but he didn't want to. So we just collected clothes and cleaned the room because it turned out that the table was also a forbidden place.

— I think I will try to convince him to fix it himself later — said Luana made a face.

The contrast between the arrangement of the room and the clutter of clothes strewn around the room was completely devastating even Luana felt like putting aside the solstice party to clean up the mess, especially a weapon that should have started rusting from oblivion. Solstice. Slowly she turned to Mahasiah, facing him, the woman seemed to notice.

"Oh sorry! I completely forgot about all this mess - he said going to the wall beside the bedside table and rubbing the stone, muttering some strange words that Luana did not understand due to the distance.

Something started to move and finally a door-sized opening formed and the blonde gestured for Luana to approach. In less than five seconds the queen had already crossed the wall at her wild speed. As the wall collapsed again, Mahasiah was still staring at him, a little mesmerized at the feat. With increased feelings, Luana assessed the secret room where Daniela, who was ready for the party, was, sitting on a golden sofa with Zoey beside her and Melahel — who cheerfully played dagger — leaned against the wall some distance away.

The place was not as bright as the bedroom, but it had to be considered, because the one that brought the light to that windowless place was the candles scattered on some shelf surface with more books, weapons, weapons, and objects. It could be said that it was an armory and a library at the same time. The curved walls on the left side adequately explain where exactly they are: in the secret room right next to the tower. Attractively. But what caught Lua's attention the most was the mirror that covered almost the entire wall for herself.

Time Mirror.

This is the first time I've seen him this close. Previously, he had only seen the illustrations in the book Daniela showed him and finally he turned to his friend who was smiling gently at him. Luana returned it with a more reserved smile.

“At least Melahel did a good job,” his comments are cynical, approaching.

"Are you saying I'm not competent enough to improve myself?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I think the twins did a good job, you'll never come down to earth with so much manhood" I laughed.

— The corsage in a few minutes will make my ribs dusty — his murmur.

"Don't say that, I almost died from lack of air...

The twins chuckled, making Daniela sigh.

"You look beautiful with that crown." You know, this one is more suitable for you than the others - said a friend as he looked at her.

"Harvey almost begged me to wear it today" she said softly.

“She was closer to our great-grandmother than I was. Harvey stayed longer with her. I was only seven years into my boring and eternal life when he died. Poisoning. Harvey was twenty-five years old.

"Harvey is a hundred and forty-one years old?" - Luana's question was amazed, Daniela shrugged.

"I'm not surprised he didn't tell you," ironically.

Lua lightly slapped her friend's open arm and she laughed.

“OK, if Melahel is here, maybe we all already know the problem, right? - Mahasiah says sit on the arm of the chair.

"There's no way we can control the Wolf Man," Zoey started from afar. — As we already know, they are often too wild creatures.

— They are beings who feel with their hearts and love their own above all else and do everything to protect them, unlike us — Dani replied.

— I have to agree with Daniela, because vampires and witches are often times when they are angry or arguing something, they do not care if they have to kill a child or wife, parents, brothers, they do not care if they have to kill a child or wife, friend if it will guarantee they get what they want - Melahel speaks, pulls away from the wall and keeps a dagger in his boots.

— I believe that the problem is not that they lose control, because they will probably lose track of themselves, after all, everything shows that. Even more than hundreds of vampires would gather around the fire, this would stir them up. The least we can do is make everyone alert.” Luana paused for a moment as she observed the ornate tapestry at her feet. “The real problem is that they can kiss me from miles away and they will come, he said, because they were loyal to the Moon Goddess and obviously they all wanted to see her and they would go crazy when they heard me among the vampires, because Melahel said that they were enemies. I believe they won't recognize me by my appearance because I won't show them who I really am, but the essence of the moon in me will give me.

Soleness.

Those ferocious beast humans would never allow someone with the essence of their goddess to stand amidst their enemies. The word bloodsucker Luana saw was mentioned in a library book a few weeks ago when reading about werewolves. Lua had always liked things that involved a change of shape and it was not strange to feel so eager to pick up the book and see what it was talking about. Especially when it comes to people who should be his mother. It was strange but. It brought a feeling of comfort.

“That's the problem,” says Mahasiah. — We don't know how to hide you, they will keep coming and then everything will be messed up.

Melahel went to the chair where her sister was and sat down, with the twins still sitting on the upholstery sleeves. From the front pocket of his pants he picked up something like a leather ribbon and started braiding his hair into a low braid.

"Is there no spell or something to make sure no one is aware of it?" Melahel said as she looked at Zoey, her freshly drained magma hair tied with a tight bun over her head. "How can Luana hide the scent of vampires and not hide it from werewolves?"

— Usually Luana can hide anyone's ancestors, but today, with a partial eclipse, it is impossible. Not with wolves. He would not be able to fuse the scent of a vampire in a way that the Wolf Man would not be aware of. The Vampire would obviously not feel any difference but. when the Wolf Man came and spoke, Owen would believe it and it would be a disaster. Luana may try to transform into a female under the influence of an eclipse and control them, but the alpha will go crazy for her and it's too risky Zoey concludes.

— Combine odors... metamorphosed... — Daniela mutters, biting her lower lip. "Layton," he whispered.

“Layton?! - said the twins in amazement.

— That's her Luana — Dani gets up holding her dress skirt. “Layton may be our only solution. I think the time has come for him to take the blood oath.

"What are you talking about? Zoey asked in an almost hoarse voice. “I can't see anything about what or who they're talking about.

“You'll see Zoey soon. Similar yet different, from the other kingdoms — Daniela reveals moves in front of a mirror that mysteriously does not show the reflection of the princess, as if she is in it.

"What would Dani do?" Luana asked, frowning.

"I'll pick you up, Luna." Melahel, please dagger.

- What are you going to do? - the blonde question approached with a knife.

"I'll delay the time long enough to get Layton without spending more than a minute" he replied, taking the object and slicing his wrist, making the blood flow.

As if her own red blood was a huge can of paint, Daniela pressed her index finger against the wound repeatedly, smeared her own blood on it and began to make foreign symbols on the mirror diamond frame. Pure diamond. Luana barely noticed it. There are fine carvings of different types of clocks there as well as on the doorknob of his room. That was amazing. When the princess finally finished the oval shape of the frame with the symbol, when she finished the latter on top of her own head, the blood turned golden and the mirror surface remained blurred, it was as if there were clouds there.

Daniela's eyes are not pomegranate red, nor is the lubricated lilac color that Luana thinks is sensual. The queen was surprised to see a tinge of electricity in her eyes. Like diamonds. The astonishment gnawed him to the bone as the princess pierced through the mist and left. How many colors can he use for his eyes? Ruby's tone comes from her father's vampire ancestry, as well as emerald which is a natural color that she also inherited. Lilac Daniela who inherited from her mother's witch blood—how amazing that she has red blood despite the blue blood essence flowing through her veins! — and electric diamond tones… it can only be his skill from time to time.

Time Control.

If they had told him months ago that this was possible, Luana would not have believed him in vain and might have even laughed at that person's face, but now it was, in fact, much has changed since the dream stolen from her by Harvey. . Harvey. Your Spouse. Your lover. Your Husband. And still king beside him. Was it a dream or a nightmare? That doesn't matter. He was no longer afraid of any of them.
