Two Broken Hearts Chapter Two
" What have I…. done" Lina thought in her head. " What am I doing? I got to go after him!"
The red haired teenager screamed as she ran out the door.
* Bam*
" Get out of my way, I'm in a hurry!" Lina scowled to the scrubby looking man.
" Are you, Ms. Lina?" Questioned the man.
" Huh, how did you know my name?" Asked Lina.
" I see, you don't even recognize your own father." Snorted the man.
" Yeah right, like you're my dad, my dad has like the most powerful magic, he's a top class sorcerer! If he were here, I would have sensed his power! You must be stupid to not know about my dad, Ra the Magician of All Light!" Lina laughed triumphantly knowing that she stumped the man completely.
" You may know a lot about your old man, but you surely don't remember his face. You haven't seen him for ten years." Grunted the so-called Magician.
" Well if we haven't seen each other for ten years how do you know how I look?" Lina said rather irritated.
" A father never forgets his daughter's face. I'll prove it to you, ask me to perform a trick, answer some questions, anything." The man replied.
" Okay. This is a thing My Dad would know. Why did…. Mom die? Lina questioned as she started to feel tears form in her eyes.
" Well your mother died because, she broke her promise-her family tradition by marrying me…. You probably know about it, everyone in your family has a mate chosen for them when they hit a certain age. Your mother was of course given a mate, a knight from a neighboring kingdom. He was handsome, intelligent, and was a promising mate. Although he had all these great qualities, your mother didn't love him. Not because of his personality, but just that she didn't love him. Also the fact that her parents chose this person because they needed peace with that kingdom. And your mom's parents being the king's servants, they used their daughter as a peace offering to the kingdom. Your mom was brave, she ran away from home on the day of their wedding. She was running away for days- without food, water, shelter, and love. She finally collapsed at the door of my house. I took her in and nursed her back to health. She and I fell in love after a few months together. Knowing that her parents would come for her sooner and sooner everyday, we tried to enjoy what we had and kept hidden when royal guards came and searched for her. One day though, I went out to the royal banquet and of course I couldn't bring her along. I would've stayed to protect her, but I couldn't, if I didn't go, it would have been suspicious plus I was expected to show my perform my magic tricks. I left to go pretty late at night, not expecting the twist of fate. Well when I came I found cheers coming from everyone at the banquet. I went to where all the commotion was coming from and found your mother at the guillotine. I would've of saved her, but when I was about to yell stop, they dropped the blade, it was too late…. I was crushed and I knew that I could do no more for the world without my love in the world, so I retired two months later. Even after two months, people still talk about the ' Traitor of their country.' Yup that's what happened, your mom didn't love her chosen mate, found me fell in love with me, and was killed because she didn't want to live a lie with her chosen mate. Ain't it a world we live in…." He trailed off.
" So you are my father…. I'm sorry that I had to make you waste your time with that stupid test. Speaking of wasted time, I have to go find my mate. See- huh?" Lina said dumb-founded.
" Let me go! I have to leave to find Gourry!" Lina screamed angrily.
" That's what I'm stopping you from, I know you love that man and I know he's not you chosen mate. I can't let you go through the same fate as your mother…. Not again."
" The only reason Mom died is because she was supposed to be a ' Peace Offering' to that neighboring kingdom!" Lina shouted.
" Well you are going to be a peace offering too…." Lina's father said.
