Chapter 143: Letting Go of What’s Gone

Soren froze.

I let out a breath of relief inwardly. Based on his reaction, it seemed he knew more about the White Queen than us.

“What do you want to know about her?” he sighed after his short pause.

“As I mentioned before, Ciana was immune to me, but we don’t think she is right now, or at a minimum not as much as before.”

He nodded to let me know he was listening.

“We of course dare not test it by risking her life without knowing why she wasn’t impacted by me to begin with. So far, all the information we gathered leads us to believe she was blessed by the White Queen somehow, but that’s as far as we got.”

I sighed, “Only very recently we’d heard of the White Queen and believed that she may exist. Other than that, we know nothing about her. Whatever you could share would be a great help.”

I couldn’t read exactly what his mixed emotions were, but whatever they were, it meant only one thing. Soren Black had not only heard about this mysterious character, he might even know her well.

As expected, he chuckled lightly. “I was planning to tell Ciana when she turns twenty- one. Since she isn’t… ready, I’ll tell you, Your Majesty.”

“Please.”

He stood up and paced to the window. The sun had started setting, and the bright orange rays warmed his features. He said in a tone as if he was telling a fairytale story from long ago, but I knew it was his own memory.

“The White Queen does exist, just as the Dark King does. As crazy as it sounds, there is more than one realm in this world, and where we are right now, is the Realm of Shadow, ruled by the Dark King Lycaon and his descendants,” he explained.

I added for him, “And the realm that the White Queen rules is the Realm of Light.”

I’d heard that from Dottie once, and Jake’s study of the scroll also confirmed that.

“Exactly. And that’s where I was born!”

I gasped. He didn’t wait for me to say anything, and asked, “You want to know why Ciana was immune to your deadly power?”

I nodded, waiting anxiously for his answer. However, all of a sudden, his eyes turned cold, and without any reason or advance notice, he charged at me, a knife in his hand.

I paused for a second, trying to figure out what he was doing and how I should react. But he was too fast.

Before I knew it, the blade shredded my gloves and then was thrust right toward my heart. Soren’s movements were like lightning and all I could do was defend myself instinctively by grabbing his wrist.

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!” I grunted through clenched teeth.

“Not bad, Your Majesty,” he smirked as I threw his hand, which was holding the knife, away from me.

He complimented, “You’re indeed a great warrior.”

But I was extremely frustrated and didn’t understand what it was all for. If he wasn’t Ciana’s father, I might’ve had him thrown out of the palace.
