Alan's pov...Those attacks were not by any of the enemies but by that old man the master of this caravan himself, "Yes it's me, young man, now tell me who you are and where did you get this demon from?" he asked walking towards me, "Louis....!" I heard Aria's voice with a punch of fear, when I turned back, my fist clenched to see two of the ladies holding Aria's hands and dragging her like a prisoner, She was crying in fear,"What the heck is this?" I grunted in anger, that was my limit, how could they treat a little girl like that, "Leave her..!" I roared at them and those ladies trembled in fear, they left Aria and she fell on the ground, I rushed to her but that old man's demon held her in the air, it was getting more irritating, "Enough...! Doru... get her out of this mess...!" I ordered and he took her out of the grip of that little demon so easily like he was blowing a candle before him, "We are not here to fight with you, young man, I know we are of no match for you, we

On being inquired she accused the king of my land to be a killer, "Whom are you talking about?" I asked, it was impossible that grandpa might have done that, "Your king send an ambassador here with a proposal, my father respected him and he betrayed my father" she snorted in anger, envoy....!Was that Louis...!But Louis won't do that either, then whom is she talking about?"Can you be more specific? who was the envoy? and from where?" I wanted to clarify my doubts, I am sure it wasn't anyone from Verona, or I would have known about it."A man from Verona, he was a disabled man, my father helped him and treated him with his magic, but he deceived him and killed him," Verona...!Disabled person...?Who...?"Wait... you said Verona...can I know his name?" I asked her and she glared at me furiously as I looked confused, "Nicholas...!" she retorted and that made me chuckle, she was furious as I laughed, "How dare you....!" she pinned me on the wall, I was surprised as it was so unexp

I shook my head vigorously to smack away that abrupt doubt that just popped into my mind, I had a clear birth record for sure because no one else would have such a clear record than mine.But there is something that is still unknown, I know everything about my father's origin but about my mother's family, I never heard about it, Not even once I met my maternal family, never did I heard about them,Could it be?No... no... how could such a dramatic coincidence happen in my life?No... no way...!"What...! Do you have any explanation regarding this?" asked that princess forcing me to open the thoughts that were roaming around in my mind, "Did any of your family girls got married in Ve...I mean in Karmon or the surrounding areas?" I let out my mind slowly, flinching, That man walked towards me silently, but that princess spoke out,"My eldest aunt, got married in Verona, but we don't know anything about her family, that man was here as an envoy from Verona but he looked a royal born,

Author's pov...Alan was waiting for Doru being restless and unnerve. Though he didn't believe what that man, Iroha's uncle, Alkavir, said, yet something was clinging in his mind, After a few hours, Doru came back with the news about Amber and Hamdon, "Did you see her? what is it about? those were just rumors, right?" Alan asked desperately, he was sure Amber will never obey to marry someone else but that 'Royal blood' thing made him worry. "Master...it was....i...could...!" he didn't talk properly as he was hesitant about something, Alan was frantic, he had been waiting for hours just to get his answers and Doru is stuttering before him instead giving the explanations when his tolerance came to an end, he roared out at him, "Speak it out...clearly...!" he commanded in wrath, "Master, Hamdon is in battle with Maridona, Jameson's country, and all of them including the king, were busy in that battle, defending the country," he mumbled but Alan was already prepared for that news, fe

Alan's pov...Looking at those weird things in front of me, I halted my steps ahead, "What the hell...!" there were more than a hundred steps before me, that lead to a temple on the mountain. At each step, a girl was standing wearing a veil, their attire are so similar and the way they were standing was also weirdly similar.Alkavir arrived near me as he saw me standing in confusion, "Did she not explain to you? I asked her to do it yesterday itself" he meant, so was that about this...!Was she trying to say this? and I snorted at her without thinking about it. I nodded, and he started explaining about that weird tradition,According to him, I had to get there and at every step, I have to glance at the girl standing and have to recognize my bride among them. That was not it, it has another condition too, I have to scoop her and take her to the temple climbing the steps ahead. Uhhh...!Can you believe this...!Climbing a mountain while scooping a load....! horrible isn't it?I don't
