Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son

In the coming days, the land of Abetha started to prosper like before while Seren kept visiting different parts of land, using her power to flourish the dead land, exhausting her human body by using a divine power. She didn't do it for the sake of the people of Abetha but did it for the land as her heart hurt for it as if she was the one to suffer and could feel the pain of that land.

Entire kingdom started to praise the third princess and realized what they thought about her before was all wrong. They have made a mistake by mistreating her and as a result she had gone to the other kingdom, the princess who seems like a goddess to them now.

Once she finished her work of healing the land, they had to leave for Othinia in the coming days.

In the Morning when Drayce and Seren came down the tower and were walking in the garden, Slayer came to Drayce, "Your Majesty, Prince Arlan had sent a letter for you. Seems like a reply to your last letter."

Drayce accepted it and spoke as he read, "The royal entourage of Griven has already left for Othinia a few days back."

"We will have to leave as well, Your Majesty," Slayer said.

Drayce nodded. "The change in the summit place and the schedule has given us more time to be here. But it seems like we can not delay it anymore if we have to reach there on time."

"Prince Cian had already started the preparations for it and he said we can rest assured about it."

Drayce nodded and looked at Seren who was quiet, "Is there anything you wish to do here before we leave?"

She looked a little lost but then said, "Not sure…Umm.. Maybe I can have tea with the Queen of Abetha."

Drayce understood and commented, "My Queen sure can decide the right things on her own now."

Just then, one of the knights of Armen passed them a message.

"Your Majesty, King and Queen of Megaris, king Armen wishes to have morning tea with you," he informed Seren and Drayce.

Drayce didn't reply as he left it to his wife to decide.

"We welcome King Armen," Seren replied.

The knight left and after a while, King Armen arrived there. He was not alone but Cian was with him as well. Seren felt relieved to have her brother around as she was still not so comfortable with her father and would be hesitant to talk.

A morning meal was prepared by Megaris' servants and arrangements were as usual made in the garden. As they sat at the breakfast table, King Armen had a complicated expression on his face.

Cian observed it, "What happened father?"

Seren and Drayce looked at the King as well and heard him, "I never thought I would be able to have a meal with Seren here. In the past, countless times I thought about it but could never do it. I could hardly even come inside the gate of the tower premise."

Seren heard it but didn't know what to say, her own emotions conflicted wanting to say why he didn't do it then but she knew the reason. A promise made to Niobe in order to be able to keep his daughter in the palace.

"I hope you enjoy the meal made with Megaris cuisines," Drayce interrupted that silence.

"It sure looks tasty," the King said, "I am fortunate to be able to eat it again. Last time I remember I visited Megaris decades ago when I was a young Prince and was allowed to explore the continent. During that time I even met the previous King of Megaris, Esteban Ivanov and the Crown Prince Theron Ivanov."

"Have you met them, father?" Seren asked in amusement. She never knew it. After knowing the story of her in-laws, she had always been curious about them to know more.

Armen was taken aback for a moment as she called him a father which sounded so natural. He smiled at her and talked while looking at her, "I did. The Crown Prince even introduced me to various places in the capital and was a good host to me. If not for the distance, we might have been good friends just like King Drayce and Prince Arlan."

"How was His Excellency back then?" Seren asked.

"He had all the qualities of a next leader of the Kingdom. I learned a lot from him. He was...." King Armen continued to tell them about the Theron from the past and Seren could relate it to what great Lady Theodora told her about her son.

Seren looked at Drayce who was listening to it, his expressions solemn but one showed he wanted to know about the man who he used to call father.

Seren put her hand on Drayce's and offered him a gentle smile but then said something nice and teasing. "More I hear about your father, the more I find you two so similar. I can surely tell why mother fell for His excellency."

Drayce smiled in reply. He could not deny his father was a great king who had to face brutal situations as a king and had to sacrifice a lot.

As they finished their meal, Seren talked to her brother while King Armen was talking with Drayce as they walked along the garden.

"King Drayce, I will always be grateful to you for taking care of my daughter and giving her everything she deserves."

"I am glad to have her in my life," Drayce replied.

The king simply smiled as he could see how much this young king loved his daughter.

"You will be leaving for Griven. I believe you will take care of the issues that Cian is also after."

"Thevailes and banned herbs," Drayce assured, "do not worry about it."

"I can rest assured knowing this continent to be in capable hands and we can live peacefully without having to face any more wars."

"We will try our best to end things without leading to any more wars," Drayce assured again.

Meanwhile Cian and Seren.

"So finally you made up with our father," Cian commented.

"You can say that, brother," she replied, "I don't wish to waste any more time. Not sure when I will be able to be back here."

"You sure have grown up. I am so proud of you." He patted her head.

"What are you going to do about Queen Niobe's plan of having to introduce to the Princess of Othinia during the Summit," Seren asked.

"I am sure, I will be busier to have time left for any more meetings."

"She is a royal and you can not disrespect the Princess by not meeting her in an arranged meeting while in her own kingdom."

"I might spare a few minutes," he replied.

"Who knows, you might like her."

"Political marriage is the reason that I have already rejected her despite however she must be. So there is no scope for any other things."

"We will see."

"Sure."

The King and the Prince of Abetha left, having hearty talk with the Seren.

Now Seren had last thing to do before she leaves Abetha- a visit to Queen Niobe.
