The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 46 REVEALS THE MURDERER OF EMPRESS MICHELLA

Maybe because his mind was busy thinking about Namira, so Keenan's mind had not been disturbed by the appearance of Princess Aurellia wearing a veil.

When that thought was in his mind, he asked. At first he asked Brian why his sister was wearing a veil? Is there a problem with his face?

But Brian told him to ask the man directly. And when Keenan asked directly to Princess Aurellia, it was answered firmly by the princess.

"No problem with my face. It's just that I don't want to expose my face to just anyone."

"Does the Princess consider me someone else?" keenan asked curious about the establishment of Aurellia. "I'm a friend of Prince Brian, Princess."

"Sorry, Brother Keenan. I only let my face be seen by 2 people; Kanda Brian and the man I love."

"intriguing. Your stance is truly interesting and unique."

Keenan could only praise Princess Aurellia's strange stance in his opinion. He could not persuade, even force even Princess Aurellia to open her veil.

Only the man he loved was allowed to see his face. Who is that lucky man?

Shahdan, when the children had entered the Kejora Palace, Princess Aurellia brought them to a special room.

The room was clean, not too big. There was nothing inside other than some sitting pads and 3 rolled rugs in the corner of the room.

Princess Aurellia tells him that this room is where she and Namira are meditating to draw closer to the Lord of Heaven. While Naifa sometimes only accompany, not meditating.

Once they were in the room, Naifa immediately held one of the tapestries, continuing to place 6 pillows separately on it. After that sit the 6 boys on the pads.

Not long after, Princess Aurellia asked about the intention of the three boys coming to her palace. Because Brian had not answered when he asked.

Frankly, the arrival of Dhafin to his palace again is very exciting for Princess Aurellia. Although the truth is that Dhafin came deliberately alone, without the company of anyone, it was even more joyous for him.

That way he could express his longing for the handsome young man after these few days of not meeting, not seeing his calm face, not seeing his charming smile.

Just imagine there has not been 2 weeks he did not meet Dhafin, his sense of longing has been so bubbling in him. What if for months and even years of not seeing each other?

Actually Princess Aurellia is still a little confused why the feeling of longing has disturbed the niches of her heart? Is it because he started to like Dhafin? Isn't that too early?

But with the characteristics of Dhafin who is calm, wise-spirited, upholding the norms of manners, it is impossible for Dhafin to come alone.

Although just want to meet, without any important things to talk about where Dhafin might also come alone. That's certainly not polite.

Hence, the arrival of Dhafin to his palace with Brian, his brother of course there are important issues that will be discussed. Especially Brian admitted it.

Plus there was with them a young boy who introduced himself named Keenan. This visit was not a personal visit.

★☆★☆

"Actually we came to continue the conversation that was not completed the other day," said Brian.

Continuing an unfinished conversation? What Princess Aurellia and Namira understood from Brian's answer was that unfinished conversation was about the background of why Princess Aurellia was expelled from the palace environment.

But isn't....

"Have you told Dhafin yet?" Princess Aurellia looked directly at Brian. "Don't I let you?"

"I haven't told Dhafin because he didn't ask" Brian said casually. "I think Miss Ariesha told him the same story anyway."

Aurellia then turned to look at Dhafin who was sitting like meditating. His gaze seemed to ask if Ariesha had not told Dhafin about it?

"Actually the purpose of my visit and Brother Keenan here is to uncover who the murderer of the Princess Mother is," Dhafin said as if not answering what Aurellia thought.

"What Ariesha has not told you yet..," said Princess Aurellia cut off.

"Already," said Dhafin. "What you told him he told me. It's just who the killer is he hasn't told me."

"I haven't told you yet because I don't know who my mother's killer really is" Aurellia confessed.

"I'm sorry, Princess, if my actions have been presumptuous," Dhafin said asking Aurellia's willingness. "I've told Brother Keenan that Her Majesty the Empress who used to have been mysteriously killed...."

"...Because she knew witchcraft, "and had learned the spells and rituals to reveal past events, so I asked her to help me uncover the murderer of Her Majesty the Empress, your real mother."

"Is that all you're saying, brother Dhafin?" ask Aurellia in an ordinary tone. He was merely curious, without the intention of regretting the actions of Dhafin.

Aurellia began to learn to think rationally about what Dhafin was doing. He must believe and believe that what Dhafin does is indeed a necessary and important thing. Without suspicion or doubt.

"Yes, that's it" Dhafin admitted.

Keenan seemed to furrow his brows. Dhafin only told him that Princess Aurellia's mother had been killed and the culprit had not been discovered. That'sthat's all.

But from the question of Princess Aurellia earlier, he suspected that there was another story or rather there was another incident after the previous queen killed.

And... uh, isn't Princess Aurellia rumored to be affected by a skin disease due to a curse? Why did it just stop in his mind now?

Maybe because his mind is still disturbed by the absence of Hendry until now. Plus thinking about the feelings of Princess Cheryl Aurora.

Plus the tournament will soon be held, while Dhafin has not been successfully persuaded as a replacement for Hendry.

"If you tell me about the events that happened to me to whom you believe," Aurellia said sincerely with a smile, "I don't care. I already believe you...."

"...wholly." This word is spoken in the heart.

"Sorry, Princess," said Keenan in a respectful and courteous manner, "there seems to be a story that Brother Dhafin has yet to tell. And isn't the Princess rumored to be affected by a skin disease due to a curse?"

"That's not a curse" Aurellia said without hesitation. "It's purely a skin disease caused by toxins. But I'm cured."

"You explained, Brother Dhafin!" pinta Aurellia looked at Dhafin. "You understand better because you're the healer."

"Maybe it's good you tell me first after the empress was killed."

"All right...."

★☆★☆

Princess Aurellia had already told about the events that befell her so that she was expelled from the palace. And Dhafin has also explained about the poison that befell Princess Aurellia.

Keenan was not so surprised to hear Dhafin find out about the rare poison, it could even cure him. While Brian has introduced that Dhafin is a healer, he also strongly suspects that Dhafin is a powerful boy. And it turns out his guess was right.

The question now is what happened before the queen was killed? Was the Queen previously in pain?

This question has been raised in Dhafin's mind since yesterday. And also had been thought in Keenan's mind after listening about the incident.

"Mr Princess. What happened to the old queen before she was killed?" Keenan who asked as if representing Dhafin. "Has he been sick at the time?"

"I don't know if you're sick or not, because I didn't understand it yet" Aurellia said. "When I met him he was already dead from a knife, without having said anything to me...."

"...Actually..before we were forbidden to see the mother," he continued, "and the mother continued to be in her room without going out...."

"...As soon as a month passed, I missed my mother a lot because I hadn't seen each other in a long time. I finally ventured into his own room. But once met, mother was already lying dead on her bed with a knife stuck in her chest...."

"...Not long after, His Majesty came along with the others and saw me as I held the handle of the knife that was still stuck in your chest and they all immediately accused me of being my round killer...."

"...I didn't understand where they were at that time," Aurellia's voice sounded a little raucous as it was already starting to grieve, "i don't know anything about being accused of being a murderer...."

"It means that the empress was in a state of illness at that time" Dhafin said strongly suspecting. "It can be said to be very ill."

"True," said Keenan. "It is likely that the empress was seriously ill."

Brian was silent, but inwardly agreed with his two best friends. While Aurellia tried to suppress her sad feelings so as not to cry. But do not close her beautiful eyes glazed as well.

Namira and Naifa persuaded the princess to remain calm, not sad anymore.

★☆★☆

Soon, the ritual of uncovering the veil of the past will begin....

Aurellia sat cross-legged in the middle of the rug mat. Both of his hands stretched straight forward with open palms. While behind him sat down cross-legged Brian while sticking his palms on the right left shoulder Aurellia.

In front of Aurellia looked Dhafin and Keenan who were also sitting cross-legged. The palm of Dhafin's right hand was also stretched out against Aurellia's right palm. While the left palm of Keenan was attached to the left palm of Aurellia. While the palms of their other hands were bent in front of their chests.

Aurellia's face was perpendicular and a pair of eyes were looking forward. While the head of Dhafin and Keenan slightly bowed. Their lips seemed to be slightly twitching in unseen mantras.

Not long after, Dhafin's right hand shot out a clear white light blending blue light from the palm to the elbow. And Keenan too. His left hand immediately shot out a white beam of blue light to the elbow.

Then the rays wrapped around the palms of Aurellia. Then a few breaths later Aurellia's pair of eyes instantly emitted a white glow of clear blue light.

Not long after, Keenan's right hand moved to the side. Then from the open palm that emits a clear blue white light comes out the clear light.

The beam continued to propagate and spread floating up into the air. Until a while later the beam formed like a clear mirror of light in the shape of a rectangle. His position was floating perpendicular. On the edge of the clear light it was circled by blue light.

Namira and Naifa who were sitting opposite the strange mirror were 3 steps away, staring fixedly at the strange light without blinking.

Moments later, they began to see shapes or faint images inside the clear mirror. Then a few pictures appeared and it started to clear. Until they saw clearly what was happening inside the strange and magical mirror.

It was not just them who witnessed the events that happened inside the strange mirror. Aurellia, Dhafin, Brian, and Keenan are also watching.

A 5-year-old boy was holding a knife stuck in the chest of a beautiful young woman, but her face was pale.

Aurellia, Namira and Brian knew the 5-year-old Princess Aurellia. Dhafin and Naifa only found out after a few breaths. Keenan did not know the boy. But he was sure it was a small Aurellia.

After which, it appeared that the little Aurellia was moving. First both Aurellia's hands moved off the handle of the knife. Then after that he seemed to move backwards towards the half-opened door.

Before long he had reached the door in a state of still retreat while his eyes looked at the pale beautiful woman on the bed. Then his body came out of the door, and almost simultaneously the door was closed.

While on the bed, the blanket that had been scattered on the legs of a beautiful woman in white, now covers her body to the chest. The knife was no longer in his chest. And it looked as if his chest was moving up and down but weak. While his eyes closed.

A drink of tea passed, instantly a pitch-green light appeared in the spacious room. Not long after that dense light turned into a beautiful but evil-hearted woman. The woman was dressed in a long dark green color.

With a creepy chuckle he stepped gurglingly toward the beautiful woman lying in bed. Stepping his right hand took a knife from behind his shirt.

As soon as he reached the edge of the bed, the beautiful woman in green immediately pulled the blanket that covered the woman in white and threw it at her feet.

The woman in white was shocked until her eyes opened, continuing to look at the green-clothed evil woman who was already standing on the edge of the bed with a grinning smile. The knife in his right hand was raised high.

"Kanda Rayna..," shocked the woman in white while glancing at the knife in the hand of the woman in green. "What... do you want to do...?"

"Aren't you so tormented by your illness, Michella?" said the woman named Rayna with a grin. "Just calm down, I'll end your suffering...."

Finished saying, the knife that had been lifted up high was directly thrust into Michella's chest tightly until it was translucent. Michella who no longer had the strength could no longer scream. Which screams....

"Yes....!!!"

The one who screamed was Aurellia. She screamed not out of pain, but screamed out her anger at seeing the actions of her aunt, Princess Rayna Catherine. What consequence...?
