章 36: Princess Arianna

Cyrus

There were scrolls lying everywhere on my desk as I examined them.

The small scroll the woman gave me expanded and turned into several scrolls, with the help of the enchantments.

There were at least 20 scrolls.

I wonder what kind of information is inside these scrolls.

After spending an hour, reading and memorizing everything there is to know about the shadow, I was on the last page.

In this scroll is the most important information about him. 'Why the shadow is currently in kysoria?'

I opened the scroll to find the reason.

"The shadow is in kysoria to find princess Arianna of the Aradia."

I cocked my head to the side, taking a sip of my tea, confused.

Who is princess Arianna? I thought there was only one princess in Aradia, princess Tianna. The second born child of the king of Aradia.

And why is the shadow looking for princess Arianna?

Even if he was searching for her, why would he search for her in kysoria?

Why would she be in the enemy kingdom? There is no way she would be able to cross the border of kysoria without us knowing about it.

I turned the scroll the opposite side to see if there is any information included about her. But there was nothing else.

Do I have to rely on the whisper again to get the information about her?

I put the scroll down leaning back into my chair.

There I something going on in Aradia.

I raised from my chair, wanting to know more about what is going on, I headed towards the office of the royal archivist, Lucius Ravenscroft.

If anyone knows more about the princess, then he will be the one.

After taking a familiar path along the turning and twisting corridors I was outside of his office, as I knocked on the door, a ragged voice sounded from behind the door, "come in."

When I entered the room behind the piles of books and scrolls, seated on his chair was Lucius Ravenscroft.

He was a frail looking old man, but he has the heart and the attitude of a young curious boy who wants to know everything around him.

I think that is what made him the royal archivist.

He was engrossed in a book he was reading, when he heard my footsteps his gaze raised from the book, and when he saw it was me, he stood up.

"My prince, what do I owe the pleasure of meeting you?" he asked, scrambling from the back of his insanely large desk and coming in front of me.

"I wanted some information about the princess of Aradia, master Ravenscroft." I said, going straight to the point.

"Which princess my prince?"

"princess Arianna,"

"let me see, I have her information right here," he went into the pile of files and books, almost disappearing, only his muttering gave it away that he was there.

"Ah! Here it is," he said, brining a file with him.

He held a single piece of paper, "there is not much information about her. Only that she is the daughter of the king Benjamin's sister princess Celia."

He said looking at me.

"her mother died in childbirth. And there is no information about her father."

"What happened to her now?" I asked.

"I hear she got engaged to prince Alexander of the Nivera Kingdom. That is all we know about her."

Then why is the shadow looking for her in kysoria?

I guess I will have to ask the whisper about it.
