Chapter 121- Faded Aura (2)
(PRINCE MOISES P.O.V)
I couldn't believe what I saw; the cut on Christian's face was suddenly gone.
“Oh my god,” I heard Na'mah mumble.
“It's gone?” Christian asked with a confused expression as he touched the side of his face again.
I nodded my head as I was still in disbelief.
“What, but how? Christian asked with a concerned expression.
Before I could say anything, Na'mah suddenly grabbed Christian by the hand and rushed into the room. I followed behind them as we entered the medical room. Upon entry, I saw Doctor William and my grandfather standing beside my father's bed. They both turned their heads toward us as we entered the room.
“Moises, Christian” my grandfather said as he looked directly at us.
I followed Na'mah as she rushed toward my father, pulling Christian along.
“Na'mah mentioned that my father had woken up,” I said as I noticed my father was asleep.
“His Majesty was in pain, so I had given him medicine. He'll be asleep for a couple of hours.”, Doctor William said.
“I must check something,” Na'mah said as she suddenly placed Christian's hand on my father's chest, but I didn't see the faded glow I had seen a little earlier.
“Na'mah, what are you doing?”Doctor William asked.
“Grandfather, Doctor William,” I called out to them and watched as they turned towards me.
I began telling them what had just taken place. Doctor Williams turned his head towards Christian, who was still looking a little confused.
“Prince Christian, I believe you have healing magic,” Doctor William said.
“Healing magic?” Christian questioned with a confused expression, and Doctor William nodded his head.
“If you have healing magic, we may have a chance at saving his majesty,” Na'mah suddenly said.
I watched as Christian looked back at our father.
“You mean I can save Father?” Christian asked, “But I have no idea how to use my magic,” he added.

I stepped towards Christian and placed my left hand on his shoulder.
“I'll try to find a way for you to learn about magic; there's not much that I know about it because our auras work a little differently than magic.”, I said.
“I know someone that may help us,” my grandfather said, and I watched him walk away.
“Who is it, grandfather?” I asked curiously.
My grandfather gestured to me, “Moises, follow me. We shall await his return” he said as he walked towards the door.

“That's it, Princess, you're doing great!”Sir Dell shouted, as he stood a few meters away from me.
I continued to concentrate as I clenched onto the wooden sword. I breathe in and out as I focused on releasing my aura.
“Now imagine your body being engulfed in a glowing light, Princess!”, Sir Dell shouted.
A glowing light, I thought. I began to remember the faded aura that was around my father, when I first witnessed him fighting.
“Don't lose your concentration, Princess!”Sir Dell continued to shout.
I gripped the wooden sword tightly as I felt a sensation flowing inside of my body.
“Okay, Princess, that's enough for today.”, Sir Dell said.
I slumped down to the ground as I felt my strength leaving my body.
“I'm exhausted”, I mumbled. I stretched my arms outwards as I lay on the ground out of exhaustion.
“You did great, Princess,” Sir Dell said as he stood beside me with his arms folded.
For the last two days, Sir Dell has become a pain in the ass whenever it was time for me to practice using my aura.
Sir Dell leaned over me and said, “That's enough training for today, Princess. Soon, you'll be able to harness your aura willingly.”
“Sir Dell”, I called out to him after he lifted his body, and was about to walk away.
“Yes, Princess?”, he said as he turned towards me.
“How many of my father's knights are able to use aura?”, I asked.
“Only a few of us whose families are deeply rooted in the former Winter Kingdom and once served the Winter bloodline throughout generations”, he replied.
“Served the Winter bloodline?”, I questioned.
Sir Dell nodded and pointed at himself.
“My ancestors, my grandfather, and my father served the members of the Winter bloodline for generations. My father was one of Queen Malaysia's personal knights until the day he died.”, Sir Dell said, “My family's name is Siegal, the former Marquess household of the Winter Kingdom.”, he said.
Wow, there is still so much I have to learn, I thought.
Sir Dell reached his hand down and helped me up.
“The Kalpana Kingdom and the Avalorian Kingdom, also have an ancient bloodline sort of like the Winter bloodline, but different…” Sir Dell paused for a moment. “If you want to learn more about the origin of aura users and ancient bloodlines. How about asking Crown Prince Antonio to teach you more”, he suggested.
Prince Antonio, I thought. It's been a whole day since I last saw him. After King Lincoln fainted two days ago, Prince Antonio and his Uncle mentioned something about meeting someone from their kingdom. Now that I think about it, he's supposed to return today.

“Your royal highness, are you sure it'll be fine for me to expose myself?”The man stood before me as he shivered in fear.
I tilted my head to the side as I watched him tremble.
“Relax, will you”, I said, feeling annoyed.
The man began to apologize as he held his head down.
“For fucks sake”, I mumbled.
“Antonio, if you keep glaring at him like that. Of course he's going to be nervous”, My uncle said, as he placed his hand on my shoulder.
I placed my hand over my forehead, out of frustration. This isn't even my Kingdom, but for now I must be of some kind of help towards King Lincoln.
I turned towards the vehicle “Let's return to the Winter Dukedoms castle”, I ordered.
Three hours later, we arrived at the gates of the Winters Castle. Seeing Princess Sage again will ease my frustration, I thought as I mesmerized about the brief moment she placed her soft lips against mine. My heart began to race just thinking of her.
After entering the grounds of the castle, we exited the vehicle and walked towards the castle.
“Welcome back, Your highness”, Butler Jackson greeted me as the doors opened. “His grace is in his office on the third floor.”, he added.
“Any word on King Lincoln?”, I asked as we followed behind Butler Jackson.
“He's still resting, he had awakened not too long ago. His grace has told me to send you to his office once you've returned”, Butler Jackson replied.
When we entered the office, I noticed Duke Winter, Prince Moises and Lady Natalie were sitting by the desk.
“Crown Prince Antonio, welcome back”, Lady Natalie said.
I gestured towards the man and he followed behind me as we walked towards the desk.
“Duke Winter, this is Raman, he's a descendant of one of the surviving sorcerers who fled to my kingdom”, I introduced the man.
“A surviving sorcerer?” Prince Moises asked and I nodded.
I turned my head towards the man, who was still looking a little afraid. I gestured to him and he stepped towards the desk. I watched as he bowed before Duke Winter and Prince Moises.
“I received information about the condition of the King of Vanuatu from Crown Prince Antonio. From the information I gathered, I believed King Lincoln is suffering from the effects of black magic," Raman said.
“Black magic?” Prince Moises and Lady Natalie asked, at the same time.
Raman nodded and said,“The poison that King Lincoln has been consuming has traces of black magic. There may be a way to save him, but unfortunately, he must consume a drop of a saintess blood.”
