The Princess'choice II

Mutual secret

Lise

- Eternal Fire? What are you talking about Lise? - Emmett asked and Sébastien looked at me curiously. I shook my head.

- Nothing, I just got a weird vision, that's all.- Emmett chuckled and said.

- All of your visions are weird Lizzy, but none of the are meaningless. What have you seen? - he asked kindly. It was difficult for me to separate that reality from tye one we lived in right now. How could I tell them , that our cheeky, heroic brother, the hero of the Empire, destroyed everything with a power he used to have, just to save the love of his life? They won't be able to comprehend and there must be a reason why none of them remembers apart from me.

- I saw a woman standing with her back to me, with hair red as fire, flames danced around her and a castle was burning down in front of her. - both of my brothers shared a meaningful look and Sébastien said.

- Before you arrived we were just talking about the rumors of the neighborhood Empire. - I raised my eyebrows and walked closer, now standing next to Conrad. Strangely, whenever we were close I felt a warm feeling. He was kind, a real gentleman, sweet and really intelligent, not to mention handsome as hell! I had the feeling that he and I shared a past or a secret none of us knew about.

- What rumor? - Sébastien sighed.

- They say there is a really powerful witch, who is also the half sister of the current Crown Prince, Damien. - my stomach felt upset at the thought of that duchebag. The memories of the previous reality still lived very vividly in my mind. His glance, his touch and I was hundred percent sure that he was the responsible of Berke's death. Conrad's hand clenched in fists when Damien was mentioned.

- We were thinking about finding her, and making her our ally. - Emmett said and he crossed his huge arms in front of his wide chest.

- But with this vision of yours, I wonder if it would be a smarter option to make Prince Damien our ally.

- NO! - we said together with Conrad and all we received were the confused stares of my brothers. We looked at each other with Conrad in surprise and Emmett cleared his throat.

- Would you mind to enlighten us as well youngsters? - I felt my cheeks blushing while Conrad pulled himself straighter.

- Your Highnesses, I think it wouldn't be a good idea to team up with Prince Damien. He is unpredictable, cruel and a very pity person.

- You talk as you know him personally. - Sébastien said and I saw a drop of sweat running down on Conrad's forehead.

- I don't Your Highness, but my late sister used to work for him and I know what kind of person he is.

- Continue. - Emmett said and Conrad's eyes turned darker.

- She escaped from the castle before she died. Her body was covered in bruises, her back had huge open wounds caused by heavy hitting of whips. Her shoulders dislocated. She said that they interrogated her about the power of our Princess, but obviously, she didn't know anything. A few days after that, she died. So your Highnesses, if I would have the chance to choose between a witch and a monster,I believe it is easier to talk sense into a person with feelings. - Emmett's expression distorted when Conrad mentioned the condition his sister went home and I immediately knew who he was talking about.

- I'm sorry for what happened with her Conrad. - Sébastien said and Conrad bowed.

- Thank you, your Highness! - Emmett looked like he was seasick. Sébastien also noticed.

- Emmett are you feeling okay? - he didn't respond.

- Emmett... - Sébastien called his name again and he shook his head.

- I don't feel really well, I'll excuse myself. Let's continue this discussion on another day.

- Of course, do you need that we call the doctor?- Emmett forced a smile on his face.

- I'll be fine after some rest. - he caressed my head on his way out and his eyes seemed to be filled with pain and guilt. He glanced at Conrad.

- Keep an eye on her. - Conrad bowed.

- Yes your Highness! - Emmett left and Sébastien sighed.

- I haven't seen him like this ever. Hopefully nothing serious. Sorry Lizzy but I have to keep working.

- No problem! See you at dinner brother! - we left the room with Conrad and I grabbed his collar pulling him into an empty room.

- I know she wasn't your sister. - I said and his eyes widened before a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

- And I know this wasn't the first time your brother looked that sick.
