COVINGTON POV
While looking at them, I saw a bow and arch hanging in the wall. I touched the arrow, and a sudden flash of memory stopped me from what I was doing. I startled a little. "Are you okay, Prince?" he asked. Prince? I turned around and asked him, "who is the Prince?" He was taken back at my sudden question. "Wait! Did you get back your memory?" I shooked my head, and his eyes widened at my answer. I looked into his eyes and said, "I think you have mistaken me as someone else, Your Majesty. I'm sorry for the inconvenience," I bowed turned around to leave the place. But I was stopped on my way by the King. "There is no misunderstanding. You are the Prince I was waiting for over the years. I thought you remembered your past and came here to find about your rival. If not yet, I can help you to remember it. Would you like to go ahead?" I didn't get a thing from what the King said. But I decided to listen to him as he looked familiar to me.
He brought me to another room. In that room, I saw accessories that knights wear during the war. "This is all yours, Prince." I was confused and asked him, "this is all belongs to a knight. How does this belong to me? Also, before you continue, I want to know who the Prince is? Why are you calling me, Prince? Your face looks familiar to me, but I don't know who you are?" He laughed out loud and walked towards the room's other side. He pulled a long silk fabric that had been hanging on the wall. There was a large-sized photo of me with Lexi. I froze there don't know how to react. "This is the question I was going crazy, and the answer is in this place. It's me and Lexi in the photo. I'm the Prince here. If you know me, you must know who Sophia is, don't you?" I turned around to face him. The King nodded and said, "Sophia is your spouse, Prince. She was the daughter of a fortune-teller and sister of Peres." Peres? Fortune-teller's daughter? "Is the fortune-teller a lady?" I asked, and he nodded again. I didn't know what to say. I decided to ask about the man Lexi told me. But the King spoke before me, "did you came here to meet the man? Sophia must have told you about him. She must have told you about this kingdom as well. If not, you wouldn't be here now. Am I right?" I nodded. "But how did you know this all? You said you waited for me over the years. Why did you wait for me? What you need from me?" I asked him. He laughed again and said, "don't you think you're asking for the moon when you didn't put any effort into it? You have many more questions than you asked just now. from what you asked me now, you're still miles away from reality. I will help you meet the man you came looking for, in exchange, you should return here with your friends. You understand what I said, don't you? Bring everyone here. Let them discover themselves. When they recognize themselves, they can help you out. Let's go now." I had no way besides following him. We both left the fort with many soldiers accompanied us.
BETHANY POV
I went to the harbor where Covington will leave to the kingdom. I saw Samuel and Alexia leaving the port before Covington leave. I followed them to find out what they are up to today. I saw them parting ways, and I decided to follow Alexia. She went into a shop, but the shop had no name. "Where is she going? What shop is that?" I thought to myself and stood by the shop's one of the windows.
ALEXIA POV
After I saw Godwin boarding on the ship, I left the harbor with Sam. Sam said he has things to get done at home. From the bar, we parted our ways. I went to the wish shop beside the bar. I'm a regular customer at the shop. I went in and saw the owner talking with a customer. She signaled me to wait when she saw me. I nodded and went upstairs from the shop. She came up soon with a teapot and cups in her hand. "Welcome, dear. What brought you here at this early time?" She asked me after served me a cup of tea. "Yesterday night, I had a dream. In that dream, I saw the Prince again. This time his face was clearer compare to the first one." "Really!" she exclaimed. "That's so nice to hear, sweetie. Come here, let me see that too." I moved closer to her, and she touched the back of my hand. She is pretty good at things like this. A few moments later, she opened her eyes. She looked terrified. "Are you okay, ma'am?" I asked her as I was worried about her. "Your Prince looks so handsome and cool. That's not important now. Where did your friend go?" she asked me out of the blue. "As expected. He went to the kingdom to meet the man-" my talking cut off as she stood up from the couch. "I'm not asking about him! He is where he should be! He will come back to you! He by now would have found who he is! I'm asking about his friend! Where is he now?" I now understood it. She was asking about Samuel. "He went home, saying he has work to do. Why? What's the matter?" I asked her. "You made a mistake, Alexia. Don't you understand now? The Prince who came into your dream is your life partner. His friend is someone you should take care of for the sake of your Prince. You let him die on your past birth. He died to save your life. Now he is in danger because of you. We have to get there before they get him! Let's go!" For a moment, I felt there was a frog on my throat. No words came out of my mouth. She pulled me with her, and we headed to Sam's homeplace.
BETHANY POV
I was shocked by their conversation. "Besides anything, my brother's life is more important to me. Even though he is an enemy for me in the past, I will never let him die when he has me. I will do anything that cost to save him." I spoke to myself and rushed home.
SAMUEL POV
I came home after a long walk. Covington gave me the rubies and told me to take care of them. He bought a fake ruby and took it with him. I squeezed the front door's knob, but it was open already. "What? I locked it before we went out. Why is it unlocked now?" I asked myself and went in. Everything in the living room was in a mess. Behind me, I heard footsteps. I turned around and froze as the number of people behind me was quite a lot. Also, they have brought weapons with them. I didn't know what to do. One of them pulled out a long knife and pointed it at me. I felt chill to the bone. I felt a bad feeling about that. At that moment...
