"What did you say, the light was really a result of a complex level spell."
"Yes lady dani according to the texts in the archive it is a spell of great magnitude."
"But we do not know the effect of the spell , whether it was a good one or bad one and who cast it upon her."
"It is surprising that Rica that traitor knew something about it, isn't?"
Yes, it was quite surprising that she knew about it. Does she even know what the the spell does or something.? Her reactions seem as though she knew something else as well.
Melania, what is all this, should I be happy about this or worry about it? Should I tell Casper and Sarah about this too or keep it to myself for the time being.
I am very confused Melania….
Dani thought to herself, she was very agitated.
"Sophia, listen this is a confidential thing so no one should know about it, ensure that it is not leaked."
"I got it, shall I stay here for the meeting too or are there anything else for me to do."
"Have something to refresh yourself here, I will tell Butler Joyce to send upstairs. In the meantime, I will go and finish some of my other tasks"
"Lady Dani, did you forget about the surprise I told you about."
"Surprise, I thought u finding the secret texts for me was the secret, is there something else as well."
"Did you see Captain Luke anywhere here?"
"Yes, downstairs he was heading somewhere."
"Actually while entering Morquine and going towards the goddess lunaris church, we found a very small piece of stone, something never seen before , near the green lushes of the church building. We accidently noticed it, normally the streets used to be filled with people before the great war and during the great war no one ever paid attention to such things."
Dani was quite intrigued, a stone never seen before, except for the treasures each nation is safeguarding, which is rumoured to stones of some unknown nature and that too very very few have even heard about this rumour: this is the first time she has heard about another stone apart from the treasures.
"So, Captain luke took the stone to sirs danver and joseph, as they are the most knowledgeable when it comes to treasures."
"You did the right thing, any sort of clue during this adversity can turn into fortune,"
Sophia agreed to it as well. It was fortunate of them to find such a thing during their visit to the church. It was purely accidental, when Sophia had the dropped the potion of energy booster to the ground, she bent to remove the shards of glass from the ground.
I hope this can help us progress a step forward for the planning of war, Sophia thought to herself.
Dani left the room and went to the butler and maid room to tell Joyce about preparing refreshments for Sophia.
"Sir Joyce, after she finishes eating tell her to meet me in the punishment room."
"Understood lady, I shall convey your message to her."
Dani then headed to the underground floor, surprised to see someone already there when she opened the door, she walked closer to the coffin and tried calling.
But that person was so immersed, looked like busy talking to someone.
She came closer and tapped the person's shoulder, Only then that person seemed to notice.
"Casper, you are still here, I thought u left some time after me leaving."
"I thought about leaving but couldn't, all those memories were coming rushing to my mind, so I thought why not describe it to Melania so we could feel like we were in those moments. "
She couldn't even imagine what his inner state of mind would be like, he looked pitiful so Dani thought to tell him that secret she felt as though in between the wedge.
He continued...
"The day we had first met during the strategy meeting for the great war. I was going to be promoted to commander and she just appeared taking my role, I was really angry, then there were small disputes between us but entering the battlefield, her taking the lead and our first victory of the day, all of it just magically sorted the misunderstandings between us. Maybe that was the first step bringing us together. There were some other memories along with the traitor Rica,I am just trying to erase them now. But they won't go away, Dani. How did she turn out to be like this."
"Dani why aren't you saying anything ."
Dani was thinking about that thing constantly so she did not pay any heed Casper
".Dani... Dani, are you listening.
Dani, I heard u headed outside, what was it about. "
"Sorry casper, were you saying anything? "
"Yes, why had you gone out of the castle? "
"Oh yes, I had gone to meet ronald the previous prime minister of the imperial family and the other subordinate of deux, Az to negotiate with hem. They are really cunning, rapidly changed their parties pretending they were never involved in her death. I purposely did not give a chance to talk and called them to the castle to discuss further. They will be there today evening."
"Dani, is it really necessary for them to join our party?"
"I don't want any reason for our failure, with them we could increase our chances to win. "
"I am doing so in order to increase our forces. They are not really going to agree to our terms, they might bring up some excuses or try to demand something from us in exchange. Let us see what excuse they come. We will have to deal with them accordingly".
"Well dani, if you are so inclined to taking their help , I will help you with it. "'
Dani decided not to tell Casper anything for now. She wanted to meet Melania alone and talk to her about this but since Casper is here she cannot disclose it.
"Dani, I was thinking why haven't they attacked yet, it's been so long, what could be their purpose for remianing quiet like this? "
"Even I thought about this Casper, but let's take this advantage and capture them before they could wreck havoc."
"Listen when those two arrive we will only talk to them related to the contribution they will be giving, convey this to the others as well. We will pretend the meeting is over and after they left discuss the remaining topics."
She took a glance at Melania, I will come to meet you again, she said to herself.
"I am leaving Casper."
"So soon? "
"Yes, I just remembered about something , I will take my leave. "
"Okay, go ahead, I will leave soon too."
Let's wait till this war is over and tell them everything she found out, Dani promised to herself.
She went upstairs to find butler Joyce.
"Sir Joyce, is Sir Robert here?"
"Yes, he is here, I'll call him, Sir Joyce."
"You too wait here and listen .
Sir Robert, u need to go and make and announcement in the evening as soon as a carriage arrives here and 2 people enter inside, sir Joyce would signal it to you.
Sir Joyce u know Sir Ronald already, a demon would come along too.
Escort them to the punishment room, don't tell them anything about the room as well. I would be waiting there.
Robert in the announcement you need to state that, deux has been kept under supervision for some more time, due to reasons which can't be disclosed,before his execution. "
"We understood, Lady Dani. "
"Good, You can continue doing your work."
She headed towards the punishment room, Sophia was waiting outside the room.
"Lady Dani what is your purpose for calling me here is?
The usual, heal him and torture him again."
They opened the door to see that he was lying unconscious. Sophia did the usual healed his wounds partially.
"Let's wait here Sophia,
before the meeting let's show the guests something amazing."
