CHAPTER 3: THE WHOLE TRUTH BEEN TOLD
At midnight, everyone's asleep except for some of the guards who were on night duty are guarding the castle. Amy is not asleep either. She was in her room reading a book about the Dunan Unification War that held 15 years old. Then she felt very sleepy after reading as she closed the book. As she was about to put the book back on shelves, she heard a knock on the door. Her eyes widen as she didn't expect someone to see her late at night.
She got up and answered the door. She was very surprised to see Duke's team right in front of her doorstep. "Oh. Hey guys! What are you doing here?" she asked them. "We just want to talk to you, Amy." Duke replied.
"At this hour? It's already midnight," she said. "Well we got a lot of questions to ask you in private, so come on," Gau replied. She sighed and nodded, "All right, I'm coming," She replied as she got out and closed the door. Then she followed them.
When they reached to a safe place to chat, she found out that they're still at the second floor they're near the elevators and the library. Duke's team looked around them to make sure nobody's watching them. Then they turned to Amy.
"So, what you guys want to talk to me about?" she asked. "Well Amy, it's just that we knew about your secrets, about you being a sorceress," Elaine explained. Amy was shocked after she heard what Elaine had told her. Amy took a step back from them. "What?" she replied, looking frighten. "It's true, Amy," Duke replied. "But how did you found out? I never told you anything like that." She tried to ask them.
"Well, we saw you talking to a spirit that evening. We didn't know what's going on, so we hid ourselves behind the trees and watched you," Nicolas explained. Amy closed her eyes as she turned her back. "So. you guys finally knew..the truth about me." They approached nearer to her. "We didn't mean to hurt your feelings just because we knew about your secrets first," Gau replied.
She opened her eyes and turned her back, "No. It's alright. I'm just surprised that you finally found out the truth, that's all," she replied. "Amy, who was that spirit you were talking to, by the lake?" Duke asked. "That spirit..you saw was..my mother," she said.
"Your mother?" they whispered softly in surprised. She nodded, "Yes. My mother has been a spirit as long as I could remember. She died 8 years ago in a shipwrecked. All the people on board were dead too except me. I was the only survivor."
"If your mother was dead, what happen to your father?" Elaine asked. "I don't have a father. The truth is my father died 17 years ago, before I was even born. He was killed by the Harmonian soldiers. My hometown was destroyed by them too, a few months before my mother died," Amy replied sadly as she began to cry softly as she placed her hands onto her face.
Duke and his comrades were very upset after they heard what Amy had told them. Duke came in front of her and hug her very close to calm her fears down and wipe away all of her tears from her face. Amy cuddled him close to his chest as he stroked her long black silky hair with his gloved hand. "Don't worry Amy, we'll still protect you even though you're a sorceress," Duke replied as he let her go. "Thank you, everyone," she replied. "Why didn't you say anything about your parents to us, Amy?" Nicolas asked.
"Well, I always had nightmares about them dying. Every night, it's the same. When I think about them, my heart was always full of fear in myself. After their death, all that's left behind for me was my sorceress powers. I got them when I was born. I could never use them because people would think I'm an evil sorceress. So when nobody's watching, I use my powers. Of course, it's hard for me to hide them away from people including here," she explained as Duke's team listened to her explanation carefully.
Downstairs, they didn't know that some of the people were hearing their conversation. It was Geddoe's mercenary team including Aila and Chris with the other five knights and Louis. They quietly talk about Amy. They were hiding behind some walls near the hall.
"Well, you could have told us about it earlier. We could help you about using your powers," Gau replied. "Yes. I fully agreed," she nodded. "Well, I guess my powers could be useful for our combination attacks. The four of them nodded in agreement.
"Can you guys ever forgive me for not telling you about my real powers earlier?" she asked. They smiled at her. "Of course, we forgive you, Amy. Besides you're our best friend in this castle," said Duke as he lifted his right gloved hand to touch her smooth cheek and began to brush it gently.
They noticed that it was late and Amy had a night guard duty to attend in the next couple of minutes. "We better get going. It's already late." Elaine told her comrades. They nodded. "Well Amy, guess we have to leave you," Elaine replied, looking at her sadly. "It's alright, guys. I've got a night guard duty to attend tonight. I'll be taking over Cecile's place," Amy replied. "Are you sure you'll be alright by yourself to be doing this?" Gau asked, looking very concern about Amy. "Maybe I should go with you to help out," he replied. She shook her head, "No. I'll be fine, Gau. Some of the Karayans and Zexen knights are on guard too."
"Let her handle this one by herself. The guards would take care of her," Nicolas said, facing to Gau as he knows that the Kobold is always worried about Amy's safety. "All right," Gau replied.
Duke and his comrades accompanied her back to the room for her to get ready. They gave her a big hug after they reached her doorstep. She cuddled them tightly on their chests for a long moment. "Well goodnight, guys. I'll see you in the morning," she replied before she shut the door.
"Goodnight, Amy," they replied as each of them gave her a goodnight kiss on her forehead, smiling at her. She smiled at them back as she shut the door. Then they walked back to their rooms to get some sleep after a long talk with Amy.
