(From Blue's Perspective)
That night, after coming back, I fell asleep right away. I was tired for so reason, even though I did not do much. My head hurt a bit as well. So, Dem massaged my forehead until I fell asleep.
I told him that he did not need to do it since he needed rest as well. But he was adamant, just like always.
A scene appeared before . Unlike other tis, I knew that it was a dream and that I was sleeping.
A man wearing a blue long hooded cloak stood in the middle of a dark room lit only by a few candles. The light from the candles hurt my eyes a bit.
"Father, she will not co to us now. Neither she nor King Detrius is planning to awaken her power fully. Now, that bastard duke of Ataraxia awakened her power partially. She can take pregnancy-preventing pills and for now, that's all they want. But you still are relaxed."
I was surprised. I was talking, but the voice was not mine nor the words. It was like I was in soone else's body, but could not do anything other than be like a spirit inside him. I could not do anything in this body. I could only see the things this person was seeing, look where the person was looking and move when the person was moving. It was like experiencing whatever he was experiencing.
The man wearing a blue cloak chuckled and looked at . "Do not worry, my son. She will co to . We just have to be patient, that's all," he said.
"I can't believe our plan failed like that," the other person said. I was inside his body. It looked like this person was the son of the person in front of . I could not see his face since he wore a mask that covered his face completely except his eyes.
"It is because her power was awakened a bit before she ca to this world and married Detrius," the father said. "I still don't know who awakened her power that ti. I suspect it was King Ford since he went to the other world and now, he is quite close to Blue."
'Is he stalking ? Creepy!'
"King Ford has always been against us," the son said. "Does he think we will take his kingdom soday betraying him?"
"He is not wrong completely. He even killed his own mother... Now, we have to work harder since our plans failed. She is my daughter. I have an idea what she will do."
'He is my father? Then the other person is my brother or sothing?'
"I don't know how you are thinking that you have an idea about what she is thinking. I thought we will be thinking the sa way since we are twins. But so of our thoughts are different, it seems. But we both have an extraordinary mory."
'What...? What is he saying? Twin? My twin? He is my twin brother? Then our parents are the sa?
And he also has that kind of mory just like ?'
I wanted to hear more of what they were saying. I had no idea how I was seeing this, but I wanted to see more. It was like I was experiencing soone else's life.
But to my disappointnt, I woke up before I could see or hear anything else. I woke up in a hurry, so my head started hurting.
"Are you alright?" Dem asked. "What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?"
"... It's... It was a weird dream. I..."
He quickly gave a glass of water without asking anything. As I drank the water, he patted on the back gently.
"Have you cald down a bit?"
"Hmm... I actually... saw my father... my real father..."
"In your dream? But you have never t him before," he said.
"That's right. It was like I was experiencing soone else's life. I was seeing what he was seeing," I said. "I heard them talking. They were saying so surprising things... Let tell you from the beginning."
"So, it was a dark room. I an, there were so candles there, but well, I don't think they actually did much to the darkness. There was a man in the middle of the room. He was wearing a blue hooded cloak and a mask that covered his face completely. I could see his eyes only. As I said, it was like I was in soone else's body, but I could not do anything.
I was doing whatever that person was doing. Apparently, it seed they were son and father. The person in front of was his father."
I told Dem exactly what happened in the dream. He listened as attentively as always. After I was finished, he did not say anything for a while as if thinking about sothing intently.
"Your mother's eye color- what is it?"
"Dark brown," I replied.
"And hair color?"
"Red..."
"And the man you think is your father and you saw in your dream has dark brown eyes. You could not see his hair because of the cloak. But you can't have blue eyes out of nowhere, right?"
"It's possible scientifically... But if both parents have dark brown eyes, then it's most likely that their children also will have brown eyes," I said.
"It's not just that. Rember what that bastard king of Trouvaille said? He said that the person who awakened his power had blue eyes and we were guessing that's your father."
"Is it possible to change eye color to your will if you are a mage?"
"Yes," he nodded. "I think he changed his eye color. You said he was wearing a hooded cloak and a mask- it ans he went sowhere and did not want anyone to even guess who he might be. I also think it's not just a dream. It truly happened. If that guy is your twin brother, perhaps because of the black mana, you two have a bond.
Because your power is awakened more, you could use that bond unintentionally."
"Mother never told I have a twin brother... It was just who was born that ti, at least that is what I know..."
"For now, I cannot say anything. I do not know anything about it after all. But I have a feeling that it's true and the incident you saw today took place in reality."
Luc was right it seed. He also guessed that the dark mage wanted to co to them to awaken my power. In my dream, I heard the sa thing.
"I am sure of one thing now- King Ford was not lying to us," he said.
"I believed him all the ti though... I an, I did not think of any reason for him to lie to us," I said.
He eyed as if I had said sothing wrong. "It hurts a bit to hear you say that. Back then, you could not even believe , but you believed him even though you had t him for the first ti."
"Ah, it's not like that...," I said quickly. "I believed him because everything seed a bit clear. But in your case, you were saying that you did not even know why you wanted . It was confusing, Dem. If soone said that to you, you would not be able to believe that either."
The dream or whatever it was confused . And Dem was behaving oddly as well. I wondered if he was angry because I did not trust him when I trusted King Ford just after eting him once. He should understand my situation. I wanted to trust him all that ti, but I could not. And when I decided to trust him, I had already decided to let everything go and trust him even if he ended up betraying .
He did not talk to much after that. He went to work and I slept so more while waiting for Luc to co. Luc said he was going to visit here; I did not need to go to the magic tower.
"Your Highness, did you and His Highness fight?" Ruby asked as she was organizing the books that I was reading these days while I was lying on the bed on my stomach placing my elbows on the pillow.
"Why are you asking that?" I asked.
"Well, His Highness is in a bad mood. He has been yelling at the beta and so other knights," she said. "He usually does that when he is in a bad mood."
'Really? Isn't he overreacting now?'
