Chapter 58: Learning A Magic Trick
Annalise stared at the moon from the window of her room, lost in thoughts as she recalled her conversation with Pristine.
At this point, she was really curious to know more about the history of the castle and the one who built it.
From what she had learned about the history of their Empire, it was the Great King Gawain who was crowned as the very first ruler of the empire and it was around the time when the pure Seelie bloods were rumored to have disappeared.
If anyone would pay a little bit more attention to these details, they would definitely see the loopholes present in the history written in those books and scrolls.
Stepping away from the window, she picked up a candlestick with a burning candle sitting on it before she walked out of her room and headed upstairs. Her destination was that one place that could probably provide her with some answers to the questions that were swirling in her mind like a typhoon.
She made her way inside the quiet and dark library and the first thing that she did was to light up a couple of candles around the place to fill it with some much-needed light.
Now, finding books in such a huge library was already not an easy job but she was doing it in the middle of the night with just a candle in her hand, it would surely be a miracle if she succeeded in finding the right book.
She skipped the sections that she had already explored during her previous visits, knowing fully well that she won’t find any informative book there regarding the history of the Seelie Realm.
But as she made her way between the long rows of shelves and looked at the books and scrolls sitting in them, she realized that she won’t succeed at this rate. A sigh escaped her lips as she stopped in her tracks and closed her eyes to take a break for a moment. The silence of the night greeted her as her mind went blank for a moment.
