The Capital of the Kingdom Magus City is full of mystery Forbidden Garden or King's Garden is one of those mysteries.
Thea started talking about the King's Garden
"The King's Garden was previously called the King's forest that was later made into the garden when the first Magus ruler came into existence "
"Wow, it was formed about 900 years ago Damn!"
"Rudy that's common knowledge for anyone who belongs from Magus city and on top of that you're a Warrior"
"Jezzz Rudy don't interrupt Thea"
Thea continued…. "So this King's garden got its name from the restriction that it has, they say that only a true King after coronation can enter this garden and come out safely, others have to lose something, memories or even life. I personally as mentioned lost my memory a part of my childhood and the time I was inside the forbidden garden, I have heard the King have to perform certain rituals inside the Garden and an Angel's spirit guides him throughout the process, everyone has different stories for what goes inside…Though this is where the King's burden starts as told by sages from time to time."
Rudy and Janet seemed like didn't even blink for a single second throughout the story.
"But you're a King's daughter? Didn't you hear anything from your father?" Janet asked.
"No..out of all the duties bestowed upon a King, not disclosing about the forbidden garden tops the list"
"Jezz.. all this royalty I don't get any of it"

"Hello Hello, Kids..Sorry for being late"
A lady wearing a tight light green shirt, brown pencil skirt with black pumps entered the class. Her red glossy lips and sharp nose were flattering her wide hips, narrow waist, and big bosoms. She looked like a diamond in a mine filled with coal.
The boys went gaga, even the way Ms.Filo walked was gracious and flawless
Long eyelashes, blond hair, fair skin she had everything that can make any man go gaga and any woman to envy.
"Mam are you our Economia Teacher," William asked ogling.
"Yes.. Do you have some problem?"
"No no Mam Thank you"
"This is your first class in Economia…this is the subject most of your Seniors had to give retest to pass, many failed even after retest so focus! Okay?"
Though she seemed as beautiful and delicate as a flower, she was quite a woman. She was like a rose, a beautiful flower with thorns.
"What drives a nation or a Kingdom to greater heights? ... Any idea"
"Power Mam"
"You're not completely wrong, But what truly drives the nation is wealth or gold a country have" Ms.Filo replied
"Class today we are going to study the history of Gold and how it turned into humanity's greatest drive and misery…I know it's boring but I am going to take you guys on a past tour"

"Mam, are we going to time travel?"
"Hahaha Let's see Kids!"
Thea was shocked by her reaction as she knows quite well that traveling to the past is impossible, and it had been centuries since it was stricted. The last person who could travel to the past known to humans was The First Magus ruler.
"Guys close your eyes and don't try to open it... you have to face consequences if you do..like losing your eyesight"
Even after warnings, many tried to open their eyes… and when they did all their world turned pitch black.
Many could hear voices coming from around them…
"I went blind…"
"Please I am sorry Mam… please give back my eyesight"
"I don't want anything, please I can't live like this"
"I already warned that you have to face consequences" Ms.Filo exclaimed
'The people here are really daunting than Grand Magus' Thea thought.
Slowly the crying voices faded away…
"Kids open your eyes we are here… this is your reward for being obedient"
Everyone slowly opened their eyes still afraid of Ms.Filo.
"Firstly let me tell you none of you are allowed to disclose my way of teaching, I want all my students to get this surprise, and you know right I don't like disobedient students" Ms.Filo warned everyone with a smirk.
The students found themselves in a royal court, there was a big chandelier above their head, everything around them had a tint of shimmer in them, red silk carpets, golden plated seven chairs, on which different wise and clear-sighted men of different age were sitting. Two looked like sage, two looked like a mage, one looked like a merchant and the other two looked like warriors. Though the actual focus was on the person seating on the throne. This man was holding a golden sceptre that looked so divine as if it was the key to the universe, his face said as if 'Nothing can stop me, the strong features and straight face was heart throbbing.
"So, from today, I declare all the trades across the kingdom will take place with exchange to gold coins, we the Magus starts the gold trading system from today!"
"That my Dear students is the first Ruler of Megalith Kingdom…that we live in today"
Thea and Alvar realized there was no Mana or Aura coming from the people present at the court and even though they were standing in the middle of the court no one could see them. Something was wrong… "Is this really the past Mam?"
Thea and Alvar asked simultaneously…
"Impressive you people seem quite bright…Anyway I can't hold on to so many students any longer…Close your eyes everyone"
After a few seconds, Ms.Filo commanded everyone to open their eyes and all of them were back to Magus as they thought, the people who thought they lost their vision also got back their eyesight.
"So, how much did you like the journey to the past and to the black box my dear students"
Ms.Filo continued… "Hahaha though I never thought I would be caught by my students red-handed the truth is….you were all in a small Universe that was created by me… though it takes a lot of my mana even to take so many students and create one…But I hope all those who visited will remember the history of who created the system of gold coins"
After a little pause and seeing the astonished faces of her students she said…
"The system of gold coins was created by the King of Magus, King Edmund"
A bunch of questions started coming from every corner of the class.
"Mam was that how King Edmund looked like?"
"Was the royal court so elegant like that?"
"The seven gems of the royal court looked like that?"
"Okay okay my dear Kids all that you saw are the fragments of description I received from books and with that, I created the world!"
Ms.Filo explained to everyone.
"How did Thea and Alvar identify that it was not the past?" Janet questioned.
"I believe they are good at detecting Aura and Mana...Right, Thea and Alvar?"
"Yes Mam!" both replied in unison and Thea looked at Alvar again though he ignored her completely.
"Any more queries?.... then we will move to how the basic terms of the system!"
Ms.Filo went on to explain the exchange system, the role of silver and bronze coins.
She further clarified why silver and bronze coins were added for balance and small purchases.
The class was half not as boring as everyone speculated…rather it was the best until now a gracious teacher who claims to take you to the past and answers your query, who would not love to attend such a class?
Finally, the bell rang this was the first time Thea heard it, before this she was always submerged in her thoughts. The sound was not very loud but a faint one, it was the sound of some big pendulum clock.
Ms.Filo walked out as graciously as she came in, every eye was on her be it a girl or a boy.
Everyone got up from their seat as it was lunchtime for the students at Kosmos.
Thea was waiting for this exact moment to finally confront Alvar for his real identity
She got up from her seat just to find Alvar walking out of the classroom. Though Thea has made up her mind that she won't let Alvar ignore her any longer.
