Love Agreement With The King - Chapter 301
Ginevra got out Abigail’s house after about one hour, she left on a carriage that drove her back home.
During her ride home, she thought about Roselyn so much that she asked the coachman to lead her to visit Roselyn.
The coachman changed his course and lead to Roselyn and John’s house.
Ginevra was nervous to see Roselyn, she couldn’t stop thinking about what Daniel and Abigail told her and she needed some answers.
She knocked on the door, Kathy went to open and she smiled welcoming Ginevra in.
John peaked through the hall to stare at who walked in and when he saw Ginevra he knitted his eyebrows down and stayed hidden behind a wall.
Kathy went to call Roselyn who walked downstairs to reach her mother in a few minutes.
“Hi!” Roselyn smiled widely, she couldn’t believe her mother surprised her with a visit.. That was such a nice small gesture of her.
Ginevra opened her arms and hugged her daughter.
“Hi! I just visited Abigail and wanted to stop by to say hi and check on you.” Ginevra said, she departed from the hug and caressed Roselyn’s shoulders.
“How is Abigail?” Roselyn asked.
Ginevra offered another wide smile, “she is good, I also meet Daniel! He is very fast.”
Roselyn and Ginevra both giggled, John was still peeking at them, he didn’t dislike Ginevra he just didn’t trust her like he barely trusted anyone.
He kept an eye on her while with his overdeveloped senses he monitored her heartbeat and her breath to find out whether she was lying or not. He had learned that if people lie they are more used to flinching their eyes away and their heartbeat would speed up.
Kathy noticed John hid under the pillar of a wall yet she only smiled, she didn’t say anything.
“Can we have a private chat?” Ginevra murmured gripping around Roselyn’s wists, worry grow in her face as Roselyn glanced at her mother’s hand perplexed.
“Yes … my room is upstairs,” Roselyn murmured and she began to walk toward the hall to go upstairs, right then John disappeared to speed away so that they wouldn’t find him when they turn the corner.
Meantime Roselyn walked her mother upstairs to stay with her alone.
When they remained alone Ginevra sat on the edge of the bed and sighed.
“I have never told you about this but your father…” Ginevra took a long breath and rested a hand on her chest as if something was preventing her, to tell the truth for the heavy pound in her chest.
Roselyn sat nearer to her and placed her hand over her mother. “Tell me,” Roselyn whispered.
Her mother took a long breath and then nodded,
“Your father had some banshee powers too and he often left to train other banshees. That’s the reason why he was often away. He barely spoke about his nature.”
Roselyn took a long breath, she knew something was weird about her father and that there was a reason behind his constant absence. She also talked about that with John and she knew she got her supernatural nature somewhere.
She undeserving her mother who kept his secret for their entire life because Roselyn was willing to do the same with her if it wasn’t for Abigail convincing her to visit their mother. After all, Roselyn wasn’t sad or disappointed, she just comprehended them. She also was quite happy that she found out she shared something with her father and that she had something in common with him.
Roselyn barely remembered her father so she didn’t know if he was a good person or not but hearing he helped other banshees to practice was already enough to prove he was a good person.
At least knowing why he was missing was better than not knowing anything at all.
“So you always knew we could inherit his powers?” Roselyn asked her voice was calm even if the atmosphere was tense.
Ginevra finally met her daughter’s gaze and she
smiled at her. She took a deep breath still resting her hand on her chest while the other one was holding Rose’s hand.
“I thought only Sharon had powers at first. Because I caught her growing plants and turning water into ice as a child.” Ginevra said then she took a long pause as if she was reorganizing her speech and as if she needed to say something else.
“I came here not only to talk about that, Rose.”
Ginevra continued, having Roselyn hold her breath waiting to know more.
Roselyn could say easily when her mother was anxious and nervous and that moment was one of the anxious times.
Although she was dying to know why her mother got there and what was bothering her that much Roselyn waited for her mother to talk.
When Ginevra took the courage she needed she finally spoke, “she told me about the phenomenon that some banshees got so strong to grow wings and on the long run, become immortal too.”
Roselyn was surprised to hear her mention wings and she wondered if Abigail told her that or she was just randomly mentioning that fact. Yet again she remained silent and let her mother finish her sentence. Months ago she would have reacted instinctively and would have probably asked her questions interrupting her mother’s sayings driven by her curiosity but not anymore.
Her mother held more tightly her hand and then continued, “he told me how dangerous you were for other supernatural creatures. He had left for this reason, because he didn’t want to see how cruel creatures and humans could be with banshees. I had never seen him anymore until he left. He told me he saw terrible things happening to banshees he was training.”
Ginevra looked up to the ceilings to hold the tears and swallow down the melancholy giving her sore throat.
“I don’t want that to happen to you Rose. I am here to beg you to give up your powers. You can still do it.” Ginevra said, her voice broke and a tear fell down her face.
