Standing in front of the castle's drawbridge, the guard yawned and stretched his arms. It was early morning, and he had just heard the news that Arad's mom had been found.
The guard had seen Arad up close, and he knew he was Alcott's son. It wasn't strange to think Alcott had another woman before Ginger, but that meant she was the drakaina. Seeing how massive and powerful Arad was, he could only imagine how his mother would look.
All the guards are now expecting a massive dragon to land in the castle's courtyard anytime soon, so the bridge has been drawn up and entry to the castle's courtyard has been blocked.
It was then that he saw a woman, a familiar face, approaching. She was tall, wearing common clothes, and had glowing purple eyes. Vasilissa, he had seen her in Arad's wedding that happened months ago in the capital.
"Lady Va..." He couldn't remember her name, so he quickly coughed and cleared his throat, "Sorry, but you can't go inside."
