Chapter 298: Unveiling Secrets (Part One)
As the crackling fire cast dancing shadows across the library, Annalise took a deep breath and began to share the secrets she had kept hidden for so long. Damien leaned closer, eager to hear what she had to say.
Annalise: "Damien, I need to tell you something, actually all three of you..."
She didn’t even get to finish the sentence before the library door opened and Kenric stepped inside with his usual charming smile playing on his lips.
"Did you just mention me?" He asked while shifting his gaze between Annalise and Damien.
Annalise and Damien exchanged a glance before the former smiled and just shook her head before motioning Kenric to settle down on one of the empty seats next to her.
Kenric didn’t need to be told twice as he immediately settled down next to Annalise and his gaze also landed on the old-looking book and the diary as Damien passed them over to Annalise. "What are these?" He inquired curiously.
Annalise remained silent for a few moments as she softly garzed the leather over of the book and diary, the latter had been giving her weird feeling from the very monet she saw it. The diary felt almost too personal to be shared, personal to her - which once again made Annalise question her entire existence.
Taking in a deep breath, she finally spoke - "This old leather book, it’s not just an ordinary one. It actually contains the history of the Seelie Realm. You can actually call it one of a kind. The source from where I got this... they told me that this one is a real treasure. There’s a lot of information inside it about the Light Faes, their powers, the creation of Seelie Realm, and the history of the Seelie Royal Family."
Finishing, she put down the old book on the wooden table in front of her before her attention shifted to the diary.
Her husbands silently listened as she continued - "This diary... it belonged to the Late Light fae Queen." She took a pause there, letting the information sink in before continuing, "It’s filled with her personal thoughts, experiences, and, most importantly, the secrets of the Seelie Realm and the Light Royal family that is nowhere to be found in the history book."
"Where did you get these from?" Kenric finally asked the question Annalise had been waiting for them to ask.
Looking back, she was not sure exactly what stopped her from telling the truth to her husbands when she found out about the secrets of the castle. Obviously, she was feeling lost and confused back then, but those shouldn’t have been the reasons for keeping so many secrets from her mates.
