Chapter 20: Methis' plan
Back with the small group, they eat their dinner quietly. It's been a couple two hours since Miles flew off to the castle and Elise's headache started to calm down a little, but it was soon to be worst when she heard her name being called by Methis. Looking up she saw him standing in front of the mansion. Rolling her eyes she gets up and walks over to the sorcerer. Once she was in front of him she folds her arms. "What?!"
Methis quirks an eye brow at her. "Well, someone's in a particular bad mood tonight."
Elise grits her teeth. "Yes. People who have obtain headache in the middle of the day, which have just gotten stronger for some annoying reason, will develope a sudden negative mood swing."
Methis smirks. "Well if it's a headache that you have I can fix it."
Elise eye twitches. "If you follow that sentence up with 'if you marry me', I'll just wait until it passes."
"Oh I wouldn't dream of it." The Sorcerer opens the mansion door to let her in.
She sneers annoying at him then walks inside.
Methis shuts the door behind him and walk over to the table and chair. Looking over to Elise and smiles. "Have a seat, princess."
Elise lets out annoying sigh and walks over to the chair, which was being held out by Methis. He pushed the chair in and goes over to his books. Pulling one out he flips through the pages until he found a particular page. Setting the book down, he starts to go through some potions, mixing them together. While Elise sits in an uncomfortable silents. Moments later Methis hands her a potion. "Drink up."
Elise's emerald eyes life up to the sorcerer's face. "I don't think I should trust it."
Methis rolls his eyes. "I didn't poison it or made a spell that will make you go crazy if that's what you're thinking. It's completely harmless."
She then looks at the potion and takes it from his hand. "It better not." She takes a few sits until the potion was completely gone. In a matter of minutes her head stopped pounding painfully. Stands up, she looks to Methis. "Thank you for your help." She then heads to the door.
Methis grabs her wrist. "Is that all I'm going to receive? A simple thank you."
Elise snatch her wrist back. "Yes. Unless you have forgotten, Monsieur. I'm not too found of you at the moment."
He then starts to circle her. "Why do you continue to refuse me?"
She looks at him straight in the eyes. "I had already answered that question on the first night you propose. Why do you want me to marry you so badly anyways."
Methis smirks. "Every king need a queen."
She eyes wide before she glares at him. "What? You're no king. You're not even a noble."
Methis walks up to her. "No, I am not king, ...yet."
She looks up to him. "Yet?"
He smiles to her. "Yes. Do you wonder why I chose to hide out in Adam's kingdom."
She grits her teeth. "You mean to tell me that you plan on over-throne Adam!?"
The sorcerer laughs. "I knew you were smart. But not at the moment, eventually though. But why just stop with King Adam's kingdom? I plan to also to take over Alex's kingdom as well. While I'm at it I might as well add the kingdom belonging to that spoiled Princess Martha on the list."
Elise grits her teeth tighter and glares at him, her face turning red with rage. "If you think that I'll sit here with this information, You-!"
"Oh I know you will sit here and keep this our little secret. In case you forgotten, I'm a sorcerer. If you let one thing from this little conversation slip,...well lets just say that the King and the Castle staff will be living a reoccurring nightmare. All that time and effort your so called family put in for the spell to be lifted will be all for nothing. If some one out of this mansion is to learn of my plan everyone in that castle will have to relive the curse that was place on them thirteen years ago."
Elise eyes wide and she gasp. She shakes her head. "Your wouldn't!"
"I would! But wait! There's more. In addition of the curse being replace on them, I will have it so that it can't be removed. But of course the queen, baby, and Martha wouldn't be effected but I can think of something for them."
Elise turns her head down as tears stream down her face. She starts to yell. "I can't believe you! You threaten me with the safety of my family!" She let out a sob before looking at him, he face completely red with anger. "IF YOU THINK I THAT I WOULD MARRY AFTER SAYING THAT THEN FORGET IT! DON'T BOTHER ASKING ANYMORE, I'M TIRED OF HEARING IT. I WILL NEVER MARRY A HEARTLESS MAN LIKE YOU, EVER!" She runs past him and out the door, crying her eyes, and her heart out.
Methis watches her leave the mansion before turning his attention to one of his books.
Elise find a spot away from the mansion and the group and falls to her knees crying. She think of the castle looking once again, gloomy, the servants revert back into their house hold forms, Belle and Lori taken away from Adam, and Grant and Adam turn back into their beastly forms. If it were to happen she would believe that the blame should fall on to her.
