Chapter 19 - Answers

Rowen leaves me in front of a massive door telling me this was all mine. I walk in to a massive room. A 4 post bed with curtains tied back, wardrobe, and dresser to one side . In the corner was a shoji screen and vanity. The softest circular rug in the center . A beautiful love seat and armchair sit across from my bed. Everything even the curtains and linen were different shades of purple. It was beautiful. I can't believe this is mine. I lay on my king sized bed and sink in, god this feels amazing . As I look around the room I see 2 more doors didn't realize that were there. I get up and open the 1st door in the brood the room. I walk into a massive room lined with dresses and shoes with a seating area in the center and a a full length mirror in the corner with an intricate frame of vines. I leave the massive walking in closet to the next door. I walk into a huge bathroom with the theme of turquoise and purple. The bathtub was literally a jacuzzi that could fit 4 people. The shelves were lined with every scent of soap, shampoo and conditioners, lotions, oils, and perfumes. I decided that I might as well test out my new bath. I ran hot water and dumped in lavender oil and soap. I turn the jets on with a button. I undress and step in. This was next level for me. I sit there soaking up to my neck with my head leaning against the tub. I hear a knock at the door and a female saying she's my new personal maid. I left the door open to the bathroom and I hear foot steps . She must see me in the tub w my eyes closed. "I'm so sorry Princess I should of been here sooner to start your bath! I'm Celest and will be serving you from now on." I open my eyes to see a girl no more then 18 years old with ginger hair and amber eyes staring at me. "It's fine I was just looking around my new room and saw the tub and wanted to try it ."

"Shall I wash you?" Celest asks.

"I've never really had someone bathe me, I guess I should get use to it. Yes please." She takes a new cloth from the shelf and starts to scrubs my body . She then takes what looks like lavender shampoo and conditioner and treats my hair. Once I've had enough Celest brings me a towel and wraps it around me along with a smaller one for my hair. I've never felt such fluffy soft towels in my life. I walk to the love seat and sit down. "What color would you like to wear Princess?"

"You choose," I tell her and her eyes light up. Minutes later she brings 2 dresses. One as blue as the ocean with white lace on the the tips of the sleeves and bottom of the dress . The other an emerald green with a corset bodice with black ribbon to lace up. I know I should choose the lighter color but the green speaks to me. "Emerald please ." Celest helps me put on the dress and laces up the corset . My boobs have never looked better. Celest asks," hair and make up Princess?" I go and sit at the vanity and Celest works her magic on my make up and puts braids into my hair leaving most of it down. When I look in the mirror I'm stunned I really do look like royalty. I smile at her through the mirror, "I love it Celest." I go to my window and see I have a terrace. I open the glass doors and step out. As I step out I'm hot w the smell of wild roses. When I look down I see why, there's a vast array of roses as I'm right above a garden . "Celest can we go for a walk in the garden ?"

"Of course your highness."

We make it to the trail in the garden without incident just the now common stare. I'm enjoying the smell of roses and the different colors when I spot a nice looking tree w some shade. As we get closer I see a man with his eyes closed sitting against the tree. I spot a book on his lap and crouch down to see the title. Once I'm eye level with the man his eyes open staring at me as if searching my face for something . His eyes so striking like blue lightning . I stare at him and he smiles at me. He gets up suddenly and gives me his hand to help me back up. Once upright he doesn't take his hand back . His hair a stark contrast to his eyes , a raven blue black color . He take my hand and kisses it. "My apologies for not introducing myself, I'm Azriel Blackstone. I'm the grand dukes son, and you my lady."

"Princess Auroralyn Thesiloni, you can call me Aurora." At the sound of my name he drops my hand. His eyes widen. A dark figure appears blocking the sun we are standing in, I look up and see Rowan. "Sister dinner shall be served soon, let me show you to the dining hall." He gives me his arm and I take it . "Azriel you are expected at dinner as well." With that Rowen walks us to the dining hall.

Rowen pulls my chair out for me and once I sit he pushes it in slightly. He takes the chair to the left of me and Azriel across from me. Of course the kind is at the head of the long donning table with my mom to the right of him and his crown prince to the left . Someone pours what looks to be wine in my glass when a new man appears through the doors. He looks very similar to my eldest brother but has my green eye color. He stares as he sits next to me. I take a sip of what's in the glass to calm my nerves and I was right it was a sweet red wine . We are served dinner next . The most gourmet food I've ever seen. So many plates of food are scattered down the table . "Mother we must talk" I tell the Queen.

"You may leave us," the king states with a wave of his hands. All the servants disperse. " I know you must have many questions, but I'm sure the gate keeper probably told you the story of how you came to be in the human world."

"That he did but why didn't you come back for me?" The hall is deathly quiet.

"I did come back for you when you should of been 6, but the church I left you at was gone. I had no leads on how to get you back or where you had gone."

"Why would you leave me with random humans?!"

"I thought the humans religious place would be the best at a safe place. I'd rather you there then here dead. And look you have returned to us all grown up. I figured one day you would find your way back to us."

"Why did the gate keeper tell me I should have manifested powers already, but the most I get are dreams that come true when I'm in danger ?"

"I bound your abilities so no one could use you if they found out who you were. What do you mean dreams? Are you having premonitions?"

"I have no idea what's really happening honestly ." I take a bite of my food. I don't know what's it is but it's so delicious.

"We shall deal with your powers tomorrow." She smiles at me watching me eat . "By the way let me introduce you to your other younger brother, to your right is Vander." I look at him with his mouth full and giggle at him . "Nice to finally meet my baby brother."

The Queen starts again, "Across from you is Azriel, Grand Duke Blackstone's eldest son. You two were actually born on the same day." I stare at his beautiful eyes and it feels as if I'm hypnotized until Vander puts his hand on my shoulder. "Welcome back sister." He smiles at me. I've lost any other questions waiting on my mind then. I was finally with my family and I felt as if I had finally found where I belonged.
