She Belongs To The Devil

After the meeting with the elders of the Siccaldi clan was over, King Conall started to ponder upon what course of action he could possibly take to bring Prince Nigel to Aberdeen. He did not think that it would be that easy to bring a Prince of another nation to his own nation without giving valid reasons.

The Kings never allowed their children to go to another Kingdom and have a long stay. It was because of the simple fact that the Royal Children would know a lot about their Kingdom and the state secrets. And if someone from another Kingdom was to find out those secrets then they could use it against that Kingdom.

A simple action or a simple slip of tongue could cost several lives and could even lead to war among the said Kingdoms.

That was why King Conall was angry at Prince Fenris for staying too long at another Kingdom. Even though it was just a few days, King Conall was feeling very restless until the Prince safely returned back to the Palace. So he knew how King Dragomir would feel, if he was to simply ask him to send his son to Aberdeen.

So he was thinking hard about what reasoning he could possibly give for calling Prince Nigel over to his Kingdom. The King was sitting on his throne and was mumbling, "There are no festivals coming up; no one in the close family is dead, no one is getting married, and we have not planned any kind of special events. So what am I going to say to King Dragomir?"

No matter how much King Conall racked his brain, he could not come up with any solution on his own. He was hoping that the elders would give him some suggestions but in the end, they had placed the burden on him. All they did was pressured him to bring Prince Nigel to Aberdeen.

The King was tired of thinking and murmured to himself, "Maybe I should just leave him be for now."

But he shook his head and thought, "No, I cannot just leave a werewolf in some another Kingdom and away from his pack. He does not even know what it is like to be a werewolf. He does not know the rules and the discipline that one has to be in. He does not know his true potential. As the alpha of the pack, I must make sure that he follows the pack's rules and reaches his potential."

Then his eyes fell on the letter sent by Queen Claricia. His sister had declared that her son was now a werewolf and had asked him if there was anything that she could do to protect the secret of the Siccaldi clan.

"Maybe I should ask my sister. I bet Claricia will help me out with this because she also would not want her son to be caught in his werewolf form. The King is known for his love for hunting; he even grew his own forest. What if he mistook his son for a beast and killed him? She must know that Nigel will be safer here with his pack."

And immediately, King Conall took a white sheet of paper and thin brush. Then he started to write a letter to his sister stating that Aberdeen would like to protect Prince Nigel by bringing him in and teaching him about the werewolf way. And he asked her to suggest him how he should bring it up to King Dragomir so that he would grant the permission to send Nigel to Aberdeen.

After completing the letter, he placed it in an envelope and then placed his Royal seal on top of the envelope. He handed the letter to his trusty guard and ordered him, "Give this letter to the messenger and ask him to go to Wyverndale. Ask him to personally hand this over to Queen Claricia and return back with her reply. A lot of time and effort will be saved this way."

"Yes Your Majesty", the guard bowed his head to the King and marched out of the throne hall.

The messenger arrived back to the Aberdeen Palace after three long days. The King was sitting in his throne as usual when the messenger returned back with a letter from Queen Claricia.

The messenger knelt down and then greeted the King, "Greetings Your Majesty. I have brought back the letter from Queen Claricia of Wyverndale as you had requested."

King Conall nodded his head and ordered the messenger to rise. The messenger handed the letter to the guard for it to be passed to the King.

"You may take your leave." The King ordered once he took the letter from his sister.

And the messenger bowed to the King and left the throne hall.

King Conall opened the sealed letter and started to go through the content of the letter.

"Respected King of Aberdeen (and my dear brother),

From your previous letter, I came to know about the collective decision of the Siccaldi clan to bring Prince Nigel to Aberdeen. Though it pains me to send my only child away from me, I know that the clan has decided in the best interest of my son.

However, I am sorry to inform that King Dragomir would not allow for his son be taken away by another Kingdom before the future ruler is selected. 

If Your Majesty wishes to immediately start the teachings for Prince Nigel, then I would suggest Your Majesty to invite him over under the pretense saying that Your Majesty wishes to give special training to the Prince to help him in the upcoming test of worthiness. 

The test of worthiness will take place on the second day after the next full moon. If Your Majesty wishes to invite the Prince before the test, then I suggest Your Majesty to send the invitation as soon as possible, for there is not much time left before the test.

And My Lord, please make sure that the clan will send him back to Wyverndale before the full moon. The Prince is not allowed to miss his test.

We will discuss further about this topic after the test is over. I leave the Prince in Your Majesty's care.

Your Majesty's loving sister,

Queen Claricia."

After reading the letter, King Conall nodded his head and placed the letter on the table. And the King mumbled again, "I was right to ask for a suggestion from my sister. The problem is solved for now at least."

And once again, he took out the paper and brush and wrote another letter, this time addressing the King of Wyverndale. In the letter, as suggested by Queen Claricia, he asked King Dragomir to grant the permission to Prince Nigel to come to Aberdeen to receive specialized training targeting his upcoming test.

The King called his guard and handed the letter, "Darius give this letter to the messenger and ask him to take this to Wyverndale and hand it over to King Dragomir. Make sure you send another messenger this time, the one who just returned might be tired already."

After King Dragomir and Princess Adeline shared each other's secrets, King Dragomir went to the King's Court while Adeline went to train with General Osmond.

After reaching to Wyverndale, the messenger from Aberdeen was led to the King's Court by one of the guards. The messenger knelt down and bowed King Dragomir. Then he fisted one of hands and placed it on top of his chest and shouted, "Long live the King of Wyverndale!"

"You may rise", King Dragomir sounded somewhat uninterested. However, after what he had just gone through, the pain of learning about his concubine's murder by his wife, it was a miracle that he was managing to sit in his court room.

"Your Majesty, I have brought a letter from King Conall of Aberdeen." The messenger stated his purpose of visit and then handed over the letter to King Dragomir.

Dragomir opened the seal and then read the letter from the neighboring Kingdom's King. It was no surprise to King Dragomir that the maternal side of all of his children wanted to provide them with special trainings, targeting the test.

He knew well that the maternal families were so adamant about giving personalized training because if their grandchildren or niece/nephews were to become the future ruler of Wyverndale then that family or that Kingdom would rise to be stronger.

So King Dragomir did not doubt that there was any hidden agenda behind inviting Prince Nigel over to Aberdeen.

However, the thing that surprised him was that King Conall was not asking permission to send a personal tutor or trainer to Wyverndale to look after Nigel, but he was asking King Dragomir to send Prince Nigel over to Aberdeen. Even though he was surprised, he did not have the energy to argue back and forth with King Conall via the letters.

Thus, he glanced at his court guard and ordered him, "Find Prince Nigel and say to him that King Conall has requested to train him in Aberdeen and I have granted his request. Ask him to make the necessary preparations and leave for Aberdeen."

If King Dragomir would have been in his right state of mind then probably he would have rejected King Conall's request. However, he was just not able to think properly and agreed to the request of the King of Aberdeen.

Then he looked at the messenger from Aberdeen and gave his verbal approval, "Say to King Conall that I have granted his request and that Prince Nigel will be arriving to Aberdeen soon.. Also send my regards to him."
