Ten years passed and the two sisters finally decided to leave their hiding spot making up their minds to get back Medusa's throne.
Lilith was busy packing while Lucina sat back watching her while chewing the grapes she just emptied into her mouth.
" would you help or sit back there eating and if i may ask who brought the fruit ?" she stopped packing.
" Lucas of course" she strolled majestically to where her sister stood. " who is this woman you think can help us and how sure are you that she will help us?"
" I know and am sure she will help us" she answered with her eyes close as if contemplating if she would or not .
" do you even know her ?" She picked her sack .
" maybe , can you stop asking questions I can't answer cause all you've been doing was stay here while I try finding a way out " .
Lucina said not but left the cave , " I will miss here " she turned to her sister who stood still.
" we should leave " she finally said and they left .
it was easy for people not to recognize them even when there was no disguise cause before the killing of the snakes and dragons , their women never left their houses without veils and someone to guard them except those working as maids in the palace.
Only few nobles knew what the princesses looked like and those who worked in the palace but since the palace was burnt down many of them died .
They finally stopped at the door of a beautiful house, ' is this the house ? ' Lucina asked telepathically and Lilith nodded before knocking on the door.
" good evening ,how may I help you " a woman who should be in her early sixties asked as she open the door with a smile .
" we have journeyed from a far land and we are tired thirsty and hungry , we only ask for a place to lay our head '' of course the woman believed and let them in .
Lilith turned back to smile at her sister with the ' I told you' look .
" I will get you two water to bath before you eat ,you should sit here and wait " the woman said while pointing to the chairs and they both sat before she left .
A maid brought them water to drink , " thank you " Lucina thanked as she returned the cup after drinking the water , so did Lilith.
" you should bath now " the woman came back to say .
" I will go first " Lucina left with the maid who showed her to the bathroom.
" I once heard that two kingdoms are at war ,do you belong to any of those kingdoms " the woman asked .
" yes " Lilith responded .
" what about your parents? "she asked again.
" they are both dead, they died in the war but I and my sister escaped which was a miracle and we've been looking for a place to live " this time she sounded sorrowful.
" sounds bad , maybe you and your sister could stay here with me till the war is over or you could just live here if you have no other place to go " the woman suggested.
" we would be happy ma'am" she happily said .
After bathing they both ate and was led to a room to sleep.
" you are the best " Lucina said as she jumped on the bed .
" I know ,I know " she laid down.
" it's time we gets Mama's throne "
" it wouldn't be that easy from what I heard ,the king who now rules is so greedy that his greediness led him to selling his children for treasures"
" and what does that have to do with us getting the throne " Lucina frowned.
" I thought of marrying the king but what if grandma decides to come back to earth and instead of sitting on the throne ,she is being sold out for gold " she said thoughtfully.
" so your plan is to get married to that king ? " Lucina sat up.
" yes I think that's the only to get the throne " she stood up and walked towards the window .
" we can get it in another way "
" like fighting or working as a maid ? " she turned to face her .
" you are too ambitious, you just can't jump to the top without taking steps"
" and that's what I'm doing, first step was coming down here , second is get the king's attention which will be very easy to do like turning the back of my hand "
" how will you get his attention?" she curiously asked hating the way her sister kept her in the dark .
" through what I found out , he sometimes visit the market" she was so confident that she will get his attention.
" you are full of wonders " Lucina stood up and stood behind her .
" you should sleep " she went back to the bed and closed her eyes.
