Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Xandar kingdom, the cathedral, 94th floor.
It was the middle of the night, darkness hallowing most of the corners inside the meeting room. The moonlight coming from the window was the only source of light, but it was still dim and weary within. The white moonlight could only reach a single iron table nearby, and on the table there was a pale and delicate hand half-covered in darkness and half showing its beautiful long fingers to the moon, attached with many rings reflecting its light.
Tap!tap!tap!tap!tap!tap!
The delicate finger was tapping on the luxurious iron table, non-stop, showing the owner's impatience and eagerness.
"How much is this woman gonna make me wait. How dare she, I'm the Saintess!!!!!. What if she's the queen. Many kings and emperors bow down to me and wait in line for a single meeting. If she wasn't Atlas's mother...Humph!!!"
Yes, it was the saintess herself. She was sitting on her comfortable chair, with one leg top of another, showing her long legs and thick thighs covered by her tight white stockings. She was wearing her usual attire, but without her usual veil and scapular making Her white hair fall up to her waist like a waterfall, flowing from her shoulders to the end of her legs.
While she was waiting still feeling irritated, she felt cold all of a sudden. She could see her warm breath coming from her mouth. The iron table and the window started to condense ice all over. The coldness started hitting her to the bone but she stopped it, circulating her mana all over her body like warm armor.
The sound of the doorknob clicked on her ears, she turned to look with a bit of uncontrollable rage within her eyes. The heavy door finally opened and she saw two dark silhouettes entering, one taller than another.
Amelia already knew who was coming from the coldness and the silhouette of a crown on the women's head already assured her.
"Queen of Xander.....is this the attitude you show to the church's Saintess. Has the royal family gone senile from all the years of ruling, denouncing their own child and killing him....and this..."
"My son is still alive."
Amelia stopped mid-sentence and was shocked by the sudden information but hid it right away.
"How? Your husband, the king already denounced him and announced his dead all across the country."
Elizabeth who was still within the darkness gave a nod to the maid beside her. The maid came near the table, the moonlight reflecting from the table uncovering her from the darkness. Amelia already knew who she was. She was the one to fix this secret meeting they were now on. She had accepted the meeting between her and the queen because she told it was something about Atlas. She was reluctant at first but she herself knew, if somebody knew about Atlas more than herself, it was her.
The reflective light shined on the maid, showing her tight decorative maid dress, which showed her perfect hourglass figure and those blue eyes shining sharp with her blond hair tight up in a ponytail.
"Humph!.....long time no see Anny. Now do tell what you were gonna say...about....the young prince."
"You don't need to act like you are not close with my son, saintess Amelia. Anny already told me. All the shameless deeds you did to my son, without me knowing."
Elizabeth came forward, showing her gorgeous appearance. She had covered her whole body with a black robe and a hood on the back of her neck.
The room temperature decreased once more,
Slowly covering everything on ice.
"Alas....I cant brand judgment on you right now."
"Oh...speaks the one who caged him for 9 months using her pregnancy as a reason. Who doesn't know about you and your son complex."
Elizabeth's eyes which were of fury slowly changed into hollow sadness. All the coldness inside the room started getting dimmer. She remembered the blessed 9 months of her life. All the time spent with her son and the new life within her. She thought nothing would go wrong but...but her husband out of nowhere came and destroyed it all.
Her sadness turned to anger and anger turn to rage from the bottom of her heart. She unconsciously released her aura. Freezing everything inside the room within milli seconds. Amelia with her quick wits covered her and Anny with her pure mana, but in the process her foot froze, trying to save Anny.
"Snap out of it....my queen!!!!! What would your son think!!!!"
Elizabeth felt like a cold bucket of ice washed over her burning head. She recalled herself and watched her surroundings and Amelia's foot. Realization dawned on her, If the saintess took this as an offense, her plan for her son would inevitably fail.
With a quick wave of her hand, lisping god symbols. She unfrozen everything except Amelia's foot. It wasn't that she didn't. It was more like she couldn't. Her foot was frozen on a molecular level, which meant only one thing. She needed to....
"I have to cut my foot, don't I?"
Elizabeth always had a pride of a lioness. The warrior maiden bowed her head
"I'm sorry,....your eminence...."
Amelia looked at bowing Elizabeth. She knew how prideful she was. She was the infamous warrior maiden herself. She was literally a fan of hers when she was little. She even knew about Atlas, out of curiosity thinking what the son of the one and only Elizabeth the warrior maiden would be like but after her first meeting with Atlas when he was two years old, everything changed.
Her curiosity turned into fondness, fondness turned to like, like turned to love, love turned into lust, and finally, her lust turned into an obsession.
When the news got to her ears that the crown prince Atlas was removed from his position and denounced, she didn't believe it, and when next news, that the prince has been killed for treason came to her ear. She lost it.
Her reaction was the same as the women in front of her. So she clearly knew how she felt. The only main reason she was angry before was, what the hell was she doing when all this happened. Her own son banished and possibly killed within the same roof as her. She would lie to herself if she still wasn't angry with her but from the earlier reaction. Something might have happened. Something,in between, which she wasn't aware of.
"I hope you tell the whole story, your highness Elizabeth."
Elizabeth and Anny took a breath in relief.
" I intend to."
She gestured her hand and ice started to immolate from beneath, taking a shape of a throne refitting to sit for her stature. She calmly sat on her throne with one leg on another.
Anny and Amelia also sat on their respected sit. Amelia Left her foot be. It was not that much of a problem for now. Which showed how powerful she was at the magic of molecular level not even affecting her. She only thought cutting her foot was a daily walk in a park. The only thought right now in her mind was how much more powerful Elizabeth became, looking at the throne made from thin air.
'Show off..'
With that, Elizabeth started her story, from the start from the point she gave birth to the time when she finally woke to find her son gone and with her husband saying, he was killed for treason and also taking her newborn daughter hostage, warning her she shouldn't try anything funny.
After listening for a full hour. Amelia processed everything, but one thing was missing.
"How do you know, Atlas is still alive then."
Amelia spoke, with expectations on her pure white eyes.
Anny took out a book from her storage ring and opened it in front of Amelia. Within the book. There was a picture of a lake.
"What of it?" Asked Amelia.
"You know, everyone has their own imprint on their mana when they start to form pure mana right?"
"Of course, that's elementary for all the high-level Mages."
Anny without saying anything spread out her pure mana on the page which had the picture of the lake. Then to Amelia's surprise. Letters started to appear on the page. What surprised her more was that the writing style and pattern were exactly like that of Atlases.
[Dont worry, I am still alive and well. If you are already reading this. That means I have already escaped from my dear old dad's clutches. Anny, You need to warn mother that, there is someone even more powerful than the king himself backing him up. My loving father let it possess him for the time being.
So tell her not to make foolish choices with anger. I leave her to you. Don't worry I will come back, stronger as ever. It could take some time but I will surely be back. My only disappointment would be, I couldn't see my lovely sister grow now.
And don't forget to tell Amelia, I know you two have beef but these are times, we need to be together. Tell my mom, Tanya, and Amelia that I will miss them. There are coordinates of my location down below.
Xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
Don't waste your time too much, thinking how I got this far. Just know that I am safe.
Your one and only: atlas ]
Amelia smiled in relief. The heavyweight inside her heart finally lifted. She was thinking of going all-out war with the kingdom making reasons like the king using forbidden god symbols and all. She had already prepared fake evidence to blame the king, turning his people against them. That plan was on hold now.
"Is he really a four-year-old? He preaches like a mature man like he is older than us." Said Amelia.
Elizabeth finally giggled with a kind smile making her angelic look even more gorgeous and heavenly. Anny and Amelia had a tinge of red around their chicks looking at the smiling Elizabeth. She didn't have the title of the most beautiful woman in the kingdom for nothing. If they were males, they would have already fallen in love with the smile of hers.
Elizabeth put her palm on her now red chicks.
"Of course, it's one of the charms of my dear son. Isn't he more cute and manly this way?"
Anny and Amelia were starring at Elizabeth who was looking like a maiden in love, with mixed feelings. They knew this look very well. They looked the same when they looked at the mirror and thought about Atlas. They didn't want to believe it so they ignored it altogether.
"So what's the plan" Amelia asked.
Elizabeth came out of her dreamland and turned serious.
"From Atlas's information. First, we need to assure his safety, he said he was fine but we could never tell. He might have not told us because we would needlessly worry. I was thinking of going at the co-ordinated myself but it had led to the far away from the border of our kingdom. Atlas would be angry if I left my daughter and came to visit him. We need Amelia and me both near Henry to watch his every move. "
Amelia nodded and said " then the only option is to send Anny. How much time will it take to get there?"
Elizabeth kept silent for a bit and said.
" 5 months"
"What!!!!!"
Amelia was fully shocked.
"How in the god's name did he get there. It has only been 4 days when he was gone."
Elizabeth also wanted to know but it wasn't the time.
" We will ask when we finally reunite. He already said not to dwell on it. So we should not.....for now. Anny, are you up for the mission."
"Of course, my queen"
"Good, I will give you a disguise ring. Find my son and protect him well."
Anny stood out of her chair and kneeled in front of her one and only Queen.
"Yes, my queen. I won't fail you."
"Good."
With a nod from Elizabeth, Anny got back to her seat.
"From what Atlas said, Henry is possessed by something powerful backing up his actions. We need to start with that..."
Even though Anny was just a maid with a normal bloodline. She was more powerful than any other maid and guards within the palace. She was even stronger than her own sister. Who was the direct protector of the king himself? ( Now a spy for the legion of the queen.) She was powerful because of Her mastery and understanding of Air Symbol which was phenomenal and mind-changing to the point that the saintess and the queen herself respected her. That's why she, sitting on equal levels with them, didn't cause any concern but the opposite they both welcomed it.

After discussing for hours the crucial part of their plan to overthrow the king and the nobles.
They all came near the window, the window was large and wide enough for all three of them to see the outstanding view from the 94th floor. They were all looking at the huge majestic palace with contempt and anger and slowly looked at the shining moon, their expression getting softer.
'''I hope you are fine, my love.'''
All three wished for the same thing, from the bottom of their hearts.
Atlas who was far, far away from them was sleeping on the grass, also looking at the shining moon and suddenly sneezed.
Aacchhoo!!!!
Jena who was sleeping beside him woke up from her dream, she didn't just wake up from his sneeze. She woke up from his slight feeling of joy from the bottom of his heart.
" Are you ok Hubby?"
"I am fine Jena. Somebody might have been thinking of me."
"Hmph!....it may be other girls, who might have fallen prey to your devil-like charms."
"Hahahaha...my dear Jena. Why are you always right?"
"Cause I love you...you dufus."
Atlas smiled and slowly patted her head.
"Sleep, my dear. We still have a long journey ahead tomorrow."
Jena nodded and closed her sleepy eyes. That night, they didn't have their usual wild and passionate mating. They all knew it was their final night with him so they didn't just want to have sex and call it an end. For their final night, they just wanted to be with him, appreciate him with all their heart.
So they only cuddle and slept In his embrace. All the girls were sleeping silently all over him. Two girls hugging his arm at both sides and another two, hugging his legs. The last two were on night duty. They would change their shift every 2 hours as always. So their turn would also come.
'I guess....they got the message.'
