Please read the previous chapter before this, I made some corrections.
He vowed to protect her, he will be doing the opposite if he does not find the egg. As soon as he got the will to continue he felt strengthened. It was at this point that he noticed something far away from him.
Far away from where he stood there was a small light. It was so small but in the midst of the darkness around him, he could still see it.
Without giving it much thought the prince decided to go after the light.
Prince Sébastien walks towards the light, it seems a few hours have passed already, his feet were hurting because of the walk but yet the prince did not give up. He wanted to find the golden egg and go back so that he will be able to protect his sunshine.
He kept taking a step forward, at first it seemed like he was not getting any closer but he refused to give up. No matter how much his legs ached he was determined. Since he did not give up he Bagan to get closer to the light, so he felt more confident to walk closer to it. Once he felt close enough he reached out to touch the small ball of light.
Once his hand made contact with the light, there was a sudden brightness causing him to close his eyes. When he opened them again he found himself in an unknown place.
He looked around, the surrounding was green with trees and fruits that looked fresh. He took a deep breath, that was refreshing. There was a water spring on the other side. The place was breath is taken and beautiful but all the prince could think about was his sunshine.
To him, the beauty of this place would have been complete if she was by his side.
"Where is this place? '' as soon as he asked the question, he felt the presence of people ar him. They all seemed to carry a noble air around them.
A group of over ten men walked towards him when they were a few steps away they all paused and looked at the prince.
Prince Sébastien wanted to ask a lot of questions from this group but he shut his mouth and just watch.
If the group came to over it means that they have something to say to him. After the group stools still, prince Sébastien noticed a man walking among the group from the back the man walked out to the front and towards him.
The man walked over to him, prince Sébastien had his eyes fixed on the face of the man that was walking towards him. If he was not sure that this person was moving while he was standing prince Sébastien would gave thought that he was simply looking into the mirror.
"son" the man called one step away from prince Sébastien. Prince Sébastien looked at the man without any reaction. Although he could tell that this was indeed his father he did not feel moved at all.
This man foolishly got himself killed in his sleep. Since his mother told him about this man, he has silently blamed him for his mother''s struggle. How could he die so easily in his sleep?
Does this not mean that if his mother was not strong in her and smart, she would have also been dead meaning he could not see the world. It did not matter if he saw the word. A man that dared to marry in a situation like theirs, should be stronger enough to protect himself and his wife.
To him, this man was simply a disappointment. Of course, even if he thought so he still wished he had known him growing up.
"I am happy that we get to meet here, honestly I have always thought that I will still be a wandering spirit when this time comes," Prince Edward said.
After his death years ago he could not return to his ancestral home. One because he suddenly had a son and he was murdered in cold blood. He had left the world in a mess and so his spirit could not find rest.
His death had caused his brother to be banished from the kingdom, to be sincere he felt so guilty that he was comfortable wandering about. He did not know how he was supposed to face his mother and prince Ericsson''s mother.
Fortunately, the wife he had married before ath m up with his brother and gave him justice. After king Roderick was poisoned by his son, the prince finally found rest and entered his asentray home.
"How did you manage to get yourself killed in your sleep. As a prince who just married a wife that needs protection, how could you act so careless," prince Sébastien''s voice was cold. He wanted to scold this father was his.
Prince Edward could hear the disappointment in it. Prince Edward took a deep breath, it seems this son of his was dissatisfied with his shameful death. Well, he could not act as the victim and not take some of the blames. If he had not listened to Thompson''s words in the first place things might not have gotten so bad. Moreover, he was careless about his safety and that of his new wife
Prince Edward has also been bitting himself about it since he became a spirit. It just that, that even after marrying his wife he had been so happy. When he consummate the marriage his joy was full, but he did not expect himself to fall into a trance.
It was not his first time sleeping with a woman although he had never gotten married to anyone before lady Magret, he had kept a mistress but the night with Lady Magret had been different. It had awakened the power within him that he did not know existed.
His mother has spoken about this thing before but was on a lighter note and he never understood what she meant. In the last hundred years magic has been forbidden around the nine kingdoms. The few people that managed to escape their death sentence had to hide their powers.
This has been the main reason lord pheain had kicked against his daughter marrying outside their kingdom. He knew she could be careless. If she got discovered while in Avalo he was sure the people will kill her.
He did not have any power in that kingdom how could he save her. On the other hand, Prince Edward''s mother have specially sealed his powers when she gave birth to him and noticed he had inherent her power. It was said that only one of her children will inherit her powers, so she had wanted to give birth to her first child. As long as he did not inherit it, she would not give birth to another child for fear of passing on what should have Bern a blessing but turned into a curse.
Unfortunately, her first son had inherited it. So she sorts for ways to see it off. Although this seal could be broken as soon as he was intimate with another of their kind, his mother did not worry about this, since there was only a very low chance of him meeting another.
This was why prince Edward was shocked by his power and fell into a trance. This had also been the perfect opportunity for General Thompson to kill him.
Prince Edward still felt it was his fault if he had not become overly conf about his strength and let the guards watch over his tent. He would have not died at the point when his star was about to shine the brightest.
Taking a deep breath he narrated everything to his son, He did not try to blame other people but accepted his mistake.
"I have failed you and your mother, but it is a relief that you have grown to be so outstanding. You have over blessing to become the next king," As he spoke he handed over the golden egg.
Prince Sébastien collected it and look at the small egg in his hand that was no different from a chicken egg if not for its golden color.
" Tell your mother to leave her life, she has wasted her whole youth seeking justice for me. Same for your uncle," Prince Edward said.
Prince Sébastien nodded his head. "You should have stayed alive, all this would not have happened," Prince Sebastian reply
before going on his knees.
To him, if his father held on to his will to live after his mother''s help he would not have died. Prince Edward could only mid in agreement, he failed his duty as a father but death did not spare any man when it comes knocking. '' have thought that I the great prince if Avalo will die in such a shame,'' prince Edward thought to himself.
"Then do not make my mistake," he told his son as he raised his right hand and placed it on prince Sebastian''s head.
At this point, the other men who were standing away walked closer all their hands rested on his head blessing him.
