Lisa's alarm rang waking her up, she climbed down from the bed and walked into the bathroom to wash up.
She was Lisa Gracia the daughter to the famous and rich Leonard Gracia, she was also the only child and sole heir to Greatshire organization which was one of the greatest in the country, She was a ruthless and pampered girl who was given everything she ever wanted even before asking, her life was so perfect and she was adored by everyone.
She got dressed in her working clothe and took her hand bag walking out of her room.
Her phone rang and she checked it, it was Constance her personal assistant.
"What Constance?" She asked as a servant held the phone and she walked forward.
"Your meeting starts by 10:00am sharp and...."
"I'll be there soon" she cut and walked ahead of the servant who knew she was done with the call and ended it.
Lisa reached outside and got into her car before facing the servant
"Tell my dad the meeting starts by ten" she said and turned to the steering wheel, she started the engine
"Miss!!" Shouted Constance running to her.
"Well hello Constance, why did you call if you were in?" She asked
"I'm sorry Miss, didn't want to come in" she replied
Lisa sighed and looked straight
"You come after" she said and drove away.
Constance faked a smile before getting in her own car and following Lisa from behind.
The clouds were acting funny and it looked like it would rain.
##Emergency Emergency;
A hurricane will hit the city from 2:00pm till dusk with damaging wind, dangerous storm surge and heavy downpour. You're advised to stay indoors, avoid coastlines and rivers. Be safe##
Leonard Gracia dropped the coffee mug on the table after he drank a little quantity.
"The weather forecast came late, people would have left already" he said
"This is still 6:00am and they could be in their place of work who would want to travel that far?" Asked Julia his wife and Lisa's mother.
"Hmm, call Lisa down for breakfast" said Leonard to a servant who bowed before leaving.
"I'm surprised Lisa's still asleep, she had a meeting to attend today" inquired Julia
"Maybe she got the forecast earlier than we did" he answered.
The servant hurriedly rushed back to them.
"Sir Miss Lisa's not in her room"
"Not in her room?, Then where could she be?" He asked
"I think she left....."
Leonard stood up before she could complete her statement
"Left?, To where?" He panicked
Julia slowly stood from her seat and rushed to the window
"Oh my God Leo, it's getting dark" she trembled
"Call Constance now!!!" He shouted making the servants on the table jolt in fright, they were all trembling as a servant rushed to the telephone.
Leo tighten his fist, 'Lisa better not be out there'
The servant came back
"Sir, the network is bad, I can't reach Constance or Miss Lisa..."
"Oh no" he mumbled
"My daughter!" Wept Julia sitting on the ground
"Leo Lisa's out there.... Leo do something" she wept.
Leo angrily hit the plate on the table smashing it on the ground
"Damn it, I'm going after her. David!" He called and an average height man on black suite walked forward bowing
"Yes Sir"
"Get the car ready, I'm going to find Lisa" he said
"I might disagree with that Sir" he said making Leonard turned to him in surprise
"And who are you to disagree with anything?" He asked
"David Julian, special agent. I'll send some men after her and I'll go myself too but you leaving is dangerous. Your wife might not handle loosing both of you in one day..."
Leo glared at him for a while before taking few steps close to him and dragging his tie pulling his face foreward
"Listen agent David or whatever your name is, you better not come back if you don't have Lisa with you else, I'll make sure you'll loose the ability to feel your legs" he whispered
"Noted Sir, I won't return without Miss Lisa Gracia" he said and with that walked out.
Leo inhaled deeply before turning to his wife who still wept, he walked close to her and squat to her size.
"It's okay honey, Lisa will be brought back safe" he consoled hugging her.
The road had become foggy for Lisa, she couldn't see anything as the rain poured heavily on the car.
"This stupid rain" she muttered, she increased the speed of her car and looked back, Constance who was following after her in her car was no where to be seen. She frowned and picked her phone up calling her but it wouldn't connect.
"Constance Constance Constance, what a wrong move you just made" she whispered.
Suddenly, a bright lightening struck from the sky to the ground just few miles before her, it looked like it sent something down.
Lisa looked ahead but she couldn't see anything, the sky then turned bright and emitted powerful thunder strikes which cause a dangerous effect. Anywhere the lightening struck, it totally destroyed everything close to it and Lisa panicked. She didn't understand the weather anyone, she took her eyes off the road looking side ways when out of the blue someone stood in the road.
"Aaahhh!!" She shouted and turned the steering wheel but she still hit whoever it was and lost control of the car, hitting hard against a tree releasing the air bag.
She whimpered in pain breathing slowly.
She made to pick her phone which was on the ground but couldn't, it was far from her and she couldn't move her body, it hurt her so much.
The lightening still struck hard and there was no sight of Constance.
The lightening then struck on her car making her scream loudly in fear, the car started burning, although there was a powerful downpour, it couldn't stop the fire.
"Help me!" She whispered slowly, she couldn't scream loud, she didn't even have the energy
"Please, someone" she whispered and a tear dropped from her eyes.
She began hearing a sound close by and she tried increasing the tone of her voice
"Help!".
The door to her car tore open to her surprise and someone stood there, it was a man, she couldn't see clearly cause her vision was blurring but she knew he was dressed in a radiant white gown and had long hair.
"Help me please" she whispered
"ẞhfrëk"was all he said before he lifted her from the car, he hadn't walked far when the car exploded but he didn't flinch.
He laid her on the ground and checked her wound, it was deep, she was stabbed by something.
"Who are you?" She whispered
He looked up at the sky with a strong and mean expression.
"The silver stone is in her" he whispered and before she could comprehend anything, he lifted her from the ground and flew up to the sky.
Lisa panicked, she could see clouds, was she flying?..., What was happening?.. she couldn't think straight, she was in real pain, she shut her eyes and passed out, whatever was happening, she knew she was safe with this man, this stranger.....
The air was rusty and cold, she couldn't feel her hands or body, was she dead?, She couldn't just die like that....
She remembered the incident, everything that happened, wait...what happened??
Lisa's eyes flipped open, she sat up looking around at the most beautiful room she had ever seen, everything in it was grand and literally expensive, the floor too. Where was she?, She slapped her cheek slightly to be sure she wasn't dreaming because what was happening.
She inhaled and slowly moved to the edge of the bed, she stretched her leg slowly to place it on the ground when it hit mug. It fell smashing to pieces. "Oh Lisa" she whispered in frustration. She looked around again in confusion when her eyes caught a hideous sculpture.
"Mommy!!" she jolted in fear, she checked herself for the injuries she had but they were all gone, what was happening, she needed to be dreaming.
Voices came from behind the closed door and she diverted her eyes there, she was scared to death, what was happening?, How could someone put her there?.
The voices drew closer and she laid on the bed covering herself in the blanket.
She heard the door open and covered her mouth with her hand, she didn't want anything wrong to happen.
"Hjßülâ?" Started one
"Gèydœb sZéßk" said another.
She was scared.
'What exactly were they saying?'
Slowly she began hearing footsteps coming close to the bed, she panicked but held her cool, she needed to pretend to be asleep.
Whoever it was got to her bed and pulled the blanket from her, she knew she was exposed but maintained her sleeping face. She should be good at that, she did it to her parents so it shouldn't be hard.... except she didn't know who these people were.
With her eyes still closed, she felt a hand touched her stomach, moving upwards. Before she could think of anything, her shirt was torn from her body and she gasped, Yeah she actually revealed herself but that didn't stop the stripper, he rested his hand on her chest and she lost it.
She opened her eyes and sat up slapping the man hard across his face. His face was turned to the direction she hit it while the other's eyes were on her, she slowly put her hand down on seeing him, he was gorgeous, handsome, she couldn't find the word, his hair were long and straight, even though he had a mean expression on he still looked good looking, she found herself ogling him when the man she had hit earlier turned back to her looking into her eyes.
Her heart missed a beat, she was ogling the other one forgetting the gorgeous prince infront of her, if there was another word for handsome, goodlooking she'd definitely go for it, he seemed to be staring intensely at her and she panicked, there was something about his state, it was empty and she couldn't even guess what he was thinking.
"Héíßg jßlîv?" Started the standing man but the guy in front of her raised his hand.
"Hßékhñxm ñäjßb" he said and the other bowed before walking away.
Lisa came to her senses when the other guy left and she wrapped the blanket around her
"You shouldn't treat a woman like that" she whispered and he raised a brow.
"Gßkdñ jàīlēh?" He asked
"I don't understand a word you say" she said
"Can I see your chest?" He asked and she gasped, he could speak English the whole time but chose not to?, And wait her what?...., He needed another slap.
"Let me see" he said and made to touch her but she yanked his hand away.
"You're insane!!, If you touch me again I'll call the police and make sure you get a life sentence..." She fret
"Gorra, you know I can't hurt you" came his soft and calm voice but what did he just call her?, Gor...what?, Her name was Lisa.
She inhaled and looked at him
"Mister, there's a misunderstanding, I am not Gorra, my name is Lisa Gracia daughter of Leonard Gracia and heir to Greatshire organization, I don't know you and have never met you before so you're mistaking me for someone else" she said
The guy stood up looking at her
"What do you mean by that Gorra?" He asked
"I just said I'm not Gorra, why don't you understand that?" She asked slightly annoyed.
"Hmm, let's see" he said and Lisa raised a brow.
He stretched his hand towards her and in a twist of time, the whole place changed, they were both floating in air. Lisa panicked.
"What's happening?" She asked fearfully but he didn't answer, he just closed his eyes and kept doing whatever he was doing.
He opened his eyes now and it was blazing blue, Lisa almost fainted, his garment floated in air as he took slow steps close to her.
"Stay away from me please" she begged, she couldn't take it anymore, this was just too much for her.
"Mommy!" She wept moving backwards from him when a strong force pushed her to him, his hand were now on her waist and as their eyes locked, hers turned blue with his.
They stared at each other for a while before a bright red light emitted from her chest passing the cloth she wore and blasting, sending both of them to different directions.
Lisa coughed as she opened her eyes, they were back in the room but what just happened then, she looked at the guy who slowly stood from the ground looking at her
"Listen I need to get home, my parents will be worried" she begged and took few steps to him when he placed a sword on her neck making her move backwards until she reached the wall.
"Please stop already, you're scaring me" she wept, tears were flowing from her eyes, she didn't understand what they wanted, what did he want.
"I don't know you please let me go" she wept.
The guy inhaled and moved from her withdrawing his sword
"I'm going to kill you, " he threatened before storming out of the room.
Lisa knelt to the ground weeping hard. "Where am I?, What is this place?, Please take me home" she wept looking down.
After some seconds of crying, she cleaned her tears and looked up when her eyes caught a mirror, she stood from the ground and walked to it.
"Oh God!!" She gasped on seeing who she was, the person in the mirror was nothing like her, that wasn't her, she had someone's face on, what was happening?.
"What's happening?" She whispered when a voice spoke from the mirror.
"Hßvßñù lady Gorra, allow me" it said and immediately, her hair became beautifully decorated, her gown turned silver and she looked refined and beautiful, the room also changed adding some flowers, furnish and portraits.
Lisa was startled now, she looked around the room when her eyes rested on a portrait, she walked towards it and had a clearer look.
It was a portrait of she and the guy.... wait she and the guy.... She didn't understand, she turned to the mirror.
"What's this?"
"Lady Gorra Fieta of Eudorus kingdom and Lord Saga Reigs of Rororal kingdom during their wedding ceremony last week" it answered.
"Wedding?" She whispered, she slowly moved to the bed and sat down.
"Married?" She whispered again
"No" she said softly as tears flowed from her eyes.
"What's happening?" She wept.
She touched her chest when she felt something on it, she stood from the bed and rushed to the mirror pulling the cloth a little downwards, she gasped on seeing a little red stone in her chest, she felt it with her hand
'was it what he wanted to see?' what was that?'.
She then began trying to remove it scratching it out with her nails but it was stuck, more like it stuck hard to her skin.
"Come on" she whispered still trying to take it out.
Frustrated she sat on the ground before the mirror.
"Somebody help me" she whispered as more tears flowed.
********
Lord Saga stood before a river when a lady swam out of it, she put on a robe and faced him.
"What is it that cannot wait Lord Saga?" She asked
"It's Lady Gorra?, The stone turned red but......" He hesitated
"But what?"
"That's not Lady Gorra, an imposter has her body, a human but how is this possible and where is Lady Gorra?"
"Interesting but don't you think I'm the wrong person to ask this question?, The imposter of your wife's body is in your chamber and you're asking me this?"
"Vesca, I'm going to have her killed.."
"You will do no such thing" snapped Vesca
"Why?"
"Have you forgotten what happened before your marriage with Lady Gorra, do you know how many people will kill just to get the Jew and you'll go to the council saying someone else is in Lady Gorra's body and you think they'll help you?, The will torture her, cut every bit of her body one by one piece by piece until they get the Jew and then you..... you will be history Lord Saga"
Lord Saga inhaled deeply
"She's powerful" he said and Vesca smiled
"Your wife Lady Gorra once had the stone, what makes you think she didn't pass it to this human?, I and Lady Gorra didn't really have a chat together but I know she's with wisdom and will do anything to protect the stone, go home Lord Saga and take care of that human, you might not know why she came to you..."
Lord Saga walked into his chamber, he looked around and saw her laying on the ground, Lady Gorra would never have anything to do with the ground, she was obviously not Lady Gorra, he turned from her and walked towards another room, he stripped his robe and was bare chest wearing only a black trouser.
He walked back to where Lisa laid and bent looking at her, he observed her, although she had Lady Gorra's face but there were still some missing characteristics she didn't have, he sighed and lifted her from the ground and moved to the bed laying her down on it, he made to move when his eyes caught the stone, her garment was a little down exposing the stone.
He raised his hand and slowly touched it when Lisa opened her eyes.
She gasped at their closeness but couldn't move, he was so close to her that she could feel his breath all over her face, she looked at his chest, what was he doing?, He was without a shirt and was so close to her, she wasn't Gorra for Christ sake.
"What do you want?" She whispered but he didn't say a word, his eyes moved from the stone to her face.
"Do you know what I do with the owner of the body you just possessed?" He asked and she gulped
"Please don't hurt me.." she begged
"Hurt?, Why would I want to hurt my wife, my Gorra". He sighed and moved from her sitting on the bed and Lisa sat up.
"The stone has a blue color meaning the peace and love of our kingdom but now you bore it, it's red, I don't know what that means"
Lisa inhaled. "Listen Mister....."
"It's Lord Saga, your husband" he corrected
"Okay, Saga I have to get home to my parents, they will be worried" she said and he turned to her sharply
"How did you come here?" He asked and she narrowed her eyes
"I..., I don't know" she answered
"Good, neither do I so that only means you're staying here until Lady Gorra returns to her body"
"What!!, That's going to be a long time, I can't stay please" she begged
"Listen, this kingdom needs the stone and Lady Gorra was picked to bear the it, she knew everything about it and how to use it in helping the people, you have no idea and so the people would want to hurt you and take the stone even the sorcerer who is supposed to know how to take you home, so you see how complicated things are... don't do anything stupid but flow with me for now, I'll find Lady Gorra and we will work on whatever happened" he said
"I don't know what to do"
"I'll show you the little I can but you're not permitted to speak to any of the lords or ladies without me being around you" he said and stood up from the bed.
"You sleep here, I'll go to the inner chamber" he said
"Wait!" Said Lisa stopping him
"Where's this place?" She asked
"RORORAL KINGDOM" he answered
"And where is it located?" She asked and he smiled, that was the first time he smiled and Lisa stunned by his charms and cuteness
"Do you plan on running away?" he asked
"No" she answered quietly
"It's in a world outside from the world you know so don't think of running because you might end up hurting yourself and I wouldn't want that"
Lisa sighed and looked away
"I'm not your real wife...so you cannot do anything with me..."
Lord Saga smiled and bent close to her.
"Why?, you're in Lady Gorra's body and what do you think the kingdom will say if you haven't come forth with child?, We can't let them talk about us can we?" He asked and she gulped looking away.
"Goodnight Lady Gorra" he then stood straight and walked away making Lisa exhale.
When she was sure he had left, she stood up and rushed to the mirror.
"Show me Earth?".
"Sorry my Lady, where you just mentioned doesn't exist" it replied
"Doesn't exist?" She repeated
"Where am I?" She asked and walked back to the bed sitting on it.
Lisa opened her eyes the next morning seeing two girl standing close to the bed with their heads bent. She sat up holding up the blanket.
"What do you want?" She asked
"It's time for the lady's beauty bath" said one of the girls with their heads still bowed.
Lisa looked around the room Lord Saga wasn't anywhere close.
"Oh, okay" she said and slowly began climbing down from the bed but one of the girls rushed to her placing her hand where Lisa's feet was.
"My lady's leg dare not touch the ground before she says the creed"
Lisa's eyes widened
'creed?' she didn't know what that was, she had to behave like she did, Saga said so.
Lisa inhaled deeply and took back her leg on the bed
"Creed, that's right..." She stammered
She cleared her throat again and looked at the girls.
"Why won't you look at me?" She asked and the girls nervously moved their heads
"Look at me, I don't hurt at least not here" she said
"We dare not my lady, please say the creed and let's begin with our work" said one
'Creed again?, She was trying to buy time before Saga comes, she didn't know what any Creed is
"Look at me now!" She ordered and one of the girls looked up fearfully.
"Good, so what's your name?" Asked Lisa.
The door opened and Lord Saga walked in holding a staff, the servant looked down in fear as he walked pass them to where Lisa sat. He sat down and looked at the servant whose head was now down.
"I'm sure you know the penalty for breaking the rules?" he said and she began to tremble.
"It's not her fault Saga..." Started Lisa and he turned to her sharply as one servant gasped.
"Shut up" he whispered and she frowned
He turned back to the servant and stretched his hand towards her striking her, she yelled as she flew hitting a wall before falling down dead.
Lisa feared on seeing this, she looked at the other servant who still stood there trembling, this was usually the point where you run but she just stood there obviously terrified.
Lord Saga then moved his hand towards her when Lisa shouted
"Stop! she didn't do anything wrong!"
Lord Saga didn't listen to her and released his powers but she pushed his hand making the powers divert to the mirror striking it to pieces.
She hurriedly climbed from the bed and rushed to the servant standing in her front
"I won't let you hurt her Saga, please stop" she begged holding the servant's hand.
Saga sighed and put down his hand
"As you wish" he said and the servant behind her began to whimper, she turned to her and saw blood flowing from her eyes, ears and nose.
"What's happening?, Saga help please" she begged before the servant fell to the ground dead.
Lisa moved from the body, she slowly turned to Saga who's eyes were fixed on her, she just saw two people die, her head was spinning and she was loosing focus, she began breathing slowly and lost consciousness falling to the ground but strong arms caught her before she reached the ground.
Lisa opened her eyes slowly, she sat up and saw the room all cleaned up, no blood stains or dead bodies, she narrowed her eyes to the mirror and it looked like nothing happened to it...if she could remember Lord Saga had struck it earlier. She rubbed her head and climbed from the bed.
"Mirror" she whispered
"It's Selina my lady" it corrected
"Oh Selina, got that right, where's the bathroom?" She asked
"Since you rejected the servants bathing you that means I'll do it myself" came the reply and before Lisa could say anything, a bright light emitted from the mirror and someone got out.
Lisa was stunned looking at the teenage girl in front of her.
"You're a kid?" She asked
"I'm 97 and have been of service to Lord Saga and his family for 84 years, don't worry my lady, I know you're confused about what you should do about the body you now posses but I can't explain anything to you unless you ask, come with me" she said and walked close to her.
Lisa obeyed and in no time they were in a beautiful garden, there was a small lake at the center covered in rose petals.
"Please get in my lady" said Selina
Lisa inhaled before taking off her clothes and walking into the lake, she looked at Selina who also got in with her holding a kind of plant.
"What's that?" She asked
"It gives fragrance my lady, please let me" she said and Lisa relaxed
The water was refreshing and the scent of the rose petals were divine, even the plant Selina used on her had a wonderful scent too.
"Selina" called Lisa
"Yes my lady" she answered
"What kind of man is Saga?" She asked
"A wonderful man and worrior, he has been praised by the king of the land and many lords, you're lucky" she answered.
Lisa sighed and had a little flashback on what happened earlier.
"Why did Saga kill those servants?"
"You dare not look at the lady before the creed and she did, you however killed the other"
"What?, How?" She asked
"You touched her my lady, you shouldn't have, the stone has a powerful resistance to evil and somehow when you look at an evil person you could kill that person"
"Does it mean the maid was bad?" She asked
"Maybe" she answered
"Hmm, what do you think about the lady who has this body?"
"She's the Jew bearer, that's it"
"That's it?" Asked Lisa
"Yes, My lady, dip yourself in the lake twice"
"Huh?" She asked
"Please just do as I say" she said
"Okay" replied Lisa and she dipped herself in the lake.
She tried to take her head back up but was stopped, something stopped her from taking her head up, it was pulling her leg deeply. She held Selina's garment and pulled it but couldn't get her attention, she screamed gasping for air as she was taking deeper when someone on black appeared
"I will kill you!!".
Lisa's head came above the water as she gasped but she and Selina weren't the only ones there, a lady with a crown on her head was seated while two other ladies dressed in beautiful attires stood looking at her.
"It's not your habit to bath late lady Gorra, News coming to us says that you're acting weird and we came to ask why and also considering that you haven't been out for two days" started one.
Lisa was breathing heavily as she looked around the water when the lady seated stood up
"It appears to me that you don't understand what we just said"
"Selina" called Lisa and Selina turned to her surprised
"Queen Lela is speaking, you shouldn't interupte" whispered Selina
Lisa turned to the lady who had an angry look on
"I am sorry lady Lela but now isn't the time to have this conversation. Selina get out of the water now"
"Lady Gorra?"
"Now!!" Shouted Lisa and Selina slowly moved from the water
"Don't you dare Selina" came Lady Lela's commanding voice and Selina stopped.
Lisa frowned and moved forward grabbing Selina's hand and pulling her out of the water to the surprise of the ladies.
Lisa wore her robe and tied it before facing the ladies.
"Now we can talk, I had a strange feeling about the water" she said
"Feeling" she said and stretched her hand to Selina raising her from the ground.
"You maybe the bearer of the stone but I'm still the crowned queen and you will do as I say" she said and threw her back into the lake.
"No!" Shouted Lisa but as she made to enter the lake a creature stretched it's hand grabbing Selina into the water scaring the other ladies.
"Noo!!" She shouted
"Lady Catherine, go call the lords now" shouted lady Lela and the lady ran out.
Lisa fumed and dived into the water scaring others.
"Lady Gorra out now!!!" Shouted Lady Lela but Gorra was still under water.
The king Rahl, Lord Saga, a lord Dargo and another lord Stephen with some guards rushed to the scene.
"My king" wept Lela rushing to her husband
"Lady Gorra dived in after a monster took her servant, I think it was Gazliem the agonized sea king".
"Gorra" whispered Lord Saga and he made to go to the water but Lord Derek stopped him.
"Wait, the king haven't spoken" he said and Lord Saga faced the king
"My lady lies in the dept of the lake..."
"Wait Lord Saga" said the king and Lord Saga moved back, the king wanted Gorra dead, he always did.
A little while after, the king ordered his guards to get into the water when Lisa appeared with Selina.
"There she is!!" Shouted a guard and they rushed to bring her out of the water.
Lord Saga made to walk close to her but the king's voice stopped him
"Wait Lord Saga, she has some explaining to do" he said and Lord Saga moved backwards.
Lisa panted heavily and looked at Queen Lela who stood beside the king, she didn't see any other person around her but Lela who she hated now, she stood from the ground and walked to her giving her a hot slap which surprised all of them.
Lord Saga surprisenly rushed to her pulling her back
"I told you not to do it nitwit!!" She shouted.
"Lady Gorra" whispered Lord Saga turning her to face him
"What are you doing she's the queen" he whispered
"Well screw her, she almost got Selina killed!!" She shouted and turned back to them, that was when she saw every other person beside her, she really messed up.
"Oops!" She whispered.
"Your punishment will be decided by the queen, seize her guards" ordered the king and Lord Saga rushed to him kneeling with one kneel.
"Pardon her my Lord I beg of you" he pleaded
"Your plead is not agreed here, Queen Lela will decide, let's leave" he said and left with the guards who took Lady Gorra leaving.
Lisa was taken to a room where only she, Lady Lela and a servant girl were, Saga stood outside, he had sent for lady Lela
"Hello Lord Saga" came her voice as she approached him
"I want to plead for Lady Gorra, she's not been well for some days" he started.
"Not well?, she didn't look unwell today but I could consider" she said and raised her hand touching his robe and caressing it.
"I could reconsider my decision if you come to me tonight, the king will be busy all night so I will be alone"
Saga took her hand down
"I will not defy the king's bed" he answered
"Fine, I will make Lady Gorra feel unimaginable pain. Guards!" She Shouted and two guards walked to her.
"Escort Lord Saga to his chamber" she said
"That won't be necessary, I'll walk alone" he said and left.
Lela frowned when he was gone, he always rejected her even though she wanted him more than anything, she loved Lord Saga, she loved him ever since she set her eyes on him when he was still single and now he was married to Lady Gorra, she wished she could kill Lady Gorra but she would be punished for it. She frowned and walked away.
Lord Saga paced up and down in the room, he wasn't supposed to be worried about Gorra because someone else was in her body but what could he say?, He felt worried and hurt, he didn't want her to get hurt, he felt the need to protect her, he wanted to protect her.
"She saved my life" came the soft voice from the mirror
"No one would care, not even the real Lady Gorra, she's nice..."
"She's stupid" he interrupted. "Very stupid".
Some hours had passed when there was a knock on the door, he opened it and saw a guard holding Lisa who's clothes were torn and stained with blood, she couldn't stand by herself.
"Forgive me my Lord" begged the guard and Lord Saga took her from him into the room and laid her on the bed with her back facing up, he locked the door afterwards before walking to her.
Selina got out of the mirror walking to the bed.
"Get some healing herbs" he said and she nodded before leaving. He sat close to her and touched the injury and she whimpered.
"You just got here, don't you think it's too early to cause trouble?" He asked
"That queen is stupid..,I just gave her a piece of me.." she said softly and Saga smiled.
"Looks like you got a more piece of her" he said and she gave out a little laugh.
"It hurts" she whispered and tears flowed from her eyes
"Shh" he said and made her sit up facing him.
"It's okay" he said cleaning her tears
"I'm not Gorra, it's not in me to respect people who are obviously stupid,I am my father's daughter, I am Lisa Gracias" she wept
"It's okay, let me make the pain go away" he said and pulled her close in a hug, he closed his eyes and said some words but the injury didn't heal.
They must have used magic on the stick used to whip her, the gazimts must have spelled it so he couldn't hear her.
"It's okay Gorra" he whispered slowly patting her
"I wanna go home" she whispered painfully. "Just take me home" she wept before drifting in a sleep.
After a while, the stone glowed bright red slowly healing the injury.
"It's powerful" whispered Lord Saga and he slowly pulled her from him laying her slowly on the bed, she wasn't anything like Lady Gorra, if there was something he disliked about Lady Gorra it was the fact that she respected everyone, never played along with him and always hung around with the ladies, shows no compassion for the servants but this Gorra was different, she did otherwise and he loved it at a point, there were lots of things he'd love to know about her now she was still Gorra. He stood up looking at her when Selina came with some herbs
"My Lord" she said
"She's healed already" he said looking at her as she slept peacefully on the bed....
Selina smiled
"I will get some rest now my Lord, you should too" she said
"I will Selina, I will" he said softly and gently.
Lisa woke up the next morning and saw Selina standing close to the bed with her head bowed.
"Lord Saga asked me to get you ready for breakfast, you are eating with the lords and ladies" she said.
Lisa made to bring her legs down but stopped.
"What is the creed?" She asked Selina
"It's a short prayer" she answered
"What is it, let me learn it" she said.
"Okay my lady, repeat after me" she said
"Okay"
"That I, you say your name my lady" said Selina
"That I Lisa Gracia.."
"No, not that name, it's Gorra Fieta"
"Oh, Gorra Fieta" she corrected
"The bearer of the silver stone" she continued
"The bearer of the silver stone"
"Will submit myself"
"Will submit myself....."
"To the will of it that chose me"
"To will of what!!, I cannot say that..."
"Lady Gorra..." Called Selina
"That's just like locking me up in something I don't even understand..." Interrupted Lisa
"That's the creed and lady Gorra says it all the time" said Selina.
Lisa inhaled deeply before speaking.
"That I Gorra Fieta the bearer of the silver stone will submit myself to the will of it that chose me" said Lisa.
"That's the creed my lady and please don't forget it, let's go have you washed up" she said and Lisa climbed down from the bed leaving with her.
Lisa was dressed in a beautiful sky blue gown, her hair was beautifully made by Selina and her facials.
"We're ready my Lady" said Gorra
Lisa inhaled deeply
"So what am I supposed to do?"
"I'll lead you and you'll seat by the left side of Lord Saga, you will eat only when Lord Saga starts eating and observe a good table etiquette"
"Depends on what you mean by etiquette, where I come from and here are totally different" she said
"My lady you shouldn't reply a word the queen says to you, she always picks up on Lady Gorra but lady Gorra never answers and leave some questions for Lord Saga to answer..."
"There are so many rules Selina stop or I'll forget!" She said
"I'm sorry my Lady".
A knock on the door distracted them. Selina walked to the door and opened it. Philip, Lady Gorra's personal guard stood at the entrance.
"It's time my Lady" he said
Lisa stood from the seat and braced, she wasn't going to look for trouble, she would try as much as possible to ignore Lady Lela but to an extent, she is a heiress to her father's business and she was afraid of no one, except Lord Saga ofcourse, he had his own features.
She walked to the door when Selina stopped her
"My lady, you're supposed to raise the hem of your gown while walking, and with grace don't worry, I'll teach you that later" she whispered preventing Philip from hearing anything.
Lisa faked a smile and raised her gown up slightly and began walking, walking with grace as Selina put it but it was difficult, lots of people were bowing to her and she tried to maintain a straight face, she was used to being respected in her company but this was different, she felt nervous, she tried not looking at their faces and walked straight.
They reached a huge door and Philip stepped forward opening the door.
All eyes went to Lisa who was standing at the entrance except Lord Saga's, he behaved like he knew she was coming.
She inhaled deeply and took a step forward when he looked from the table settling his eyes on her, her heart skipped a beat.
"Oh boy!" She whispered......
