Chapter 111

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

Ryker went to answer it and it ended up being Alara. I had no idea what she was doing in front of our door. He spoke to her for a while before she left and that was enough time for me to get the sleep out of my eyes. I was already on my feet and preparing to leave the room by the time he returned. I raised a brow in a silent question and he just shrugged in my direction.

“Apparently she was lost and wandered over here but she couldn’t find her way back. I told her to ask one of the guards to direct here,” he explained and I hummed. “Where are you going?”

“Training, I might as well just get it over with.”

He looked like he wanted to protest but at the last minute, he said nothing and just allowed me walk past him. By the time I got to the training field, Loris was seated on the chair and tapping his foot impatiently. Once he saw me, he sighed and waited for me to approach before speaking.

“Did

you plan to come, your majesty?” he asked and I shook my head. “I figured as much. Maybe next time you can inform me so I don’t spend half an hour sitting outside while I wait for you.”

“I apologize. Things have been very hectic lately with the vampires. A lot tends to slip my mind.”

“I understand,” he gestured for me to begin and while I was working, he spoke again. “I heard there is someone new in the palace- a girl. Are the rumors true or unfounded?”

“I never took you for a gossip, Loris,” I teased and he shrugged with a smile as if to say ‘it is what it is. “Yes, there is someone staying with us in the palace until further notice. She was attacked by the vampires and I have good reason to believe that they will try again. Now, are we going to stay here and gossip or are we actually going to train?”

He smiled. “I believe it is my turn to offer up apologies, your majesty. Let us begin.”

Training went on smoothly despite the fact that I was still unable to conjure up water from moisture. I was beginning to think it was a waste of time. I would have tagged it impossible but from where I stood, I wasn’t sure I would ever tag anything as impossible again considering that I now had two powers instead of one and the second was still some sort of a mystery and I couldn’t speak about it to anyone. I wanted to tell Loris considering that he had trained with both my father and mother on their powers

but I couldn’t. I couldn’t risk putting anyone else’s life in jeopardy because of my

powers.

“It seems like we have an admirer,” Loris spoke close to the end of training and I turned in time to see Alara watching us from behind some bushes. I immediately dropped my hands making the water I had raised from the stream splash back.

“How did she get here?” I asked more to myself than him. I turned back to Loris. “I think we can stop there for today. I will see you tomorrow.”

He didn’t protest or say a word as he stood to his feet and walked away. I made my way over to Alara and she panicked briefly when she noticed that she had been caught. She instantly dropped her face to the ground and began fiddling with her fingers anxiously. I gave her a warm smile to let her know I wasn’t upset but she couldn’t even meet my eyes to see it.copy right hot novel pub
