The Lost Princess' Second Chance
The Lost Princess’ Second Chance Chapter 49

Raya’s POV

I am still on cloud nine as I meet up with my parents and

Diamond in her guest room on the alpha floor. Looking down at the ring that Alejandro had given me. I can’t help but smile like a total idot.

“What has you in such a bubbly mood, dear?” | heard mom ask.

Ilooked up and saw her and father waiting outside of Diamond’s guest room. I smiled at them and without saying a word, I held up my left hand for mom to see.

It takes her a minute, but I know when her eyes land on the ring. Mom gasped and covered her mouth. “Oh sweet heart.” She said as she came over to me and gripped me in a tight bear hug. “Oh so the boy finally asked you huh?” Dad said in a playful voice.

Mom turned to look at him. “Wait you knew and didn’t tell me anything?” Mom asked him. He gave her a nervous laugh as he rubbed the back of his neck. “Alec asked for my blessing a few weeks ago. I honestly thought he would have waited until al the drama was over to ask her.” He said, sounding nervous as mom glared at him.

“You still could have told me. She hissed. Dad started to look worried. “I am so sorry, love. I just thought that… um… I thought it would be better to say anything about it after he asked Iris.” Dad stammered out. I giggled at him trying to stay out of the dog house, but I know mom is not really upset.

She gave me a knowing wink before she started ‘tearing’ dad a new one. It is kind of funny to see a big bad male turn into a scared puppy at the sight of their mate being upset with them.

In the middle of the drama unfolding between my parents,

Diamond opened her door. “Oh… I was just on my way to get you all.

My father and King Arthur are ready to come through the portal.”

She said, then she looked between my mom and dad. “Um… is something wrong, Queen Ofelia?” Diamond asked her.

Mom turned to Diamond and gave her a smile. “No dear. It just means that later tonight when we return to our own room, my mate and I have somethings to talk about.” She said, and I see dad gulped as mom entered Diamond’s room. I giggled again as I followed her.

As I walked into Diamond’s room. I saw that there was something drawn on the floor. “What is this Diamond?” Mom asked, as Diamond closed the door after dad came into the room. “It is the magic circle that will open up a point here for my father and King Arthur to come through. It is drawn with a chalk and salt powder mixture, so once we are done it is an easy clean up.” She said.

Mom nodded. I looked closer at the circle. It was a big circle that looked to be about ten feet across and had different symbols drawn inside. There was a triangle inside the circle and each point touched the rim of the circle. Drawn over the triangle points were smaller circles. I looked at the symbols drawn in the smaller circles.

The one on the lower left had the sun, the one on the lower right had a crescent moon, and the one at the top had a star in it. «

What is this writing in the circle?” I asked, looking closer at the different looking writing. I couldn’t read it, which was strange for me. “Oh it is known as the demon language, it is a dead language to most. Only power witches and wizards use it for high class spells.”

She explain.

“How come I can’t read it? Normally most languages will translate to English for me to read and understand.” I said. “Oh, well the demon language doesn’t translate to the human tongue. So the only way to read it is to learn it.” She explained. “Oh… Okay.” | said.

“Okay, now I need Queen Ofelia to stand on the moon and King Alberto to stand on the sun.” Diamond instructed. Mom and Dad moved to stand in the spots that Diamond pointed out. “And where do I stand?” I asked.

Diamond just smiles and grabs a crystal orb that was sitting on her bed. “First you will be in the center with me and then you will slowly step backwards into the star space.” She said. I nodded and went to stand in the center with the star space behind me.

Diamond waved her hand over the orb and it looked to us that the orb was filling with smoke. Then we heard a voice coming from the orb.

“Diamond? DO you have everything ready?” A calm and soft female voice came from the orb. “Yes, Queen Guinevere. Both Queen Ofelia and King Alberto are here. As well as my lady and mistress, Princess Iris. She said into the orb. “Alright. Arthur and Merlin are ready to cross over as soon as we open the portal.” Queen Guinevere said.

The confusion must have showen on my face, because

Diamond giggled. “Merlin is my father, my lady.” She said. “Ohhh.” | replied. She giggled again before she came over and placed the orb down in the center circle. “Alright we are ready.” Diamond said.

“We are ready over here as well.” Queen Guinevere said. “So what are we supposed to do?” I asked Diamond. She looked up and smiled as she held out her hands towards me.

“Just open your minds to me like we do for a mind link. The link with you will connect me to your parents, my lady, and I can link with my father through our b***d. Once the connections are in place, Queen Guinevere and my mother, Gwendolyn, will use their magic energy to open the portal.” Diamond explained.

I nodded and took a hold of her hands. “Now when I let go of your hands, slowly walk backwards to the star, alright?” Diamond clarified. I nodded again. “Alright, whenever you are ready, my queen.” Diamond said, looking down to the orb.

“Apelamos aos sonhos, de criatura e mortal. Para curar a ferida que os mundos dividem. A partir de agora, cada um de nós pode criar um portal, e cada um de nós decide o seu próprio caminho.” (We call on the dreams of creature and mortal. To heal the wound that worlds divide. From now on, we each can create a portal, and each of us our own path decide.) Queen Guinevere started to chat.

It sounded different from when Diamond normally does magic.

I believe she normally speaks in latin when she casts spells, but this sounded like it was something else. Nothing like any other language I have heard before.

“Apelamos aos sonhos, de criatura e mortal. Para curar a ferida que os mundos dividem. A partir de agora, cada um de nós pode criar um portal, e cada um de nós decide o seu próprio caminho.”

(We call on the dreams of creature and mortal. To heal the wound that worlds divide. From now on, we each can create a portal, and each of us our own path decide.) Diamond started to chat along with Queen Guinevere.

The wind started to swirl around us as both Queen Guinevere and Diamond continued to chat the same thing over and over. Soon the air between Diamond and I started to become drstorted, like something was trying to rip through reality in a cartoon world. The voices of Diamond and Oueen Guinevere started to sound as if they were coming from all around me.

I felt Diamond let go of my hands, so I slowly stepped backwards to the circle with the star drawn in it. I looked up and saw that Diamond had moved outside of the whole magic circle and was on her knees, her hands placed onto the circle’s edge. With a flash of light, a blue bubble started to form and grew bigger with each time the spell was said.

“Apelamos aos sonhos, de criatura e mortal. Para curar a ferida que os mundos dividem. A partir de agora, cada um de nós pode criar um portal, e cada um de nós decide o seu próprio caminho.” (We call on the dreams of creature and mortal. To heal the wound that worlds divide. From now on, we each can create a portal, and each of us our own path decide.)

As if that was the final push, the blue bubble popped and became a light blue spiral with a white border. The wind had died down and the flashes of light were gone. I felt as if time itself had stopped. On the portal side facing me, I saw a figure stepping through. It looked like they were pushing through one of those jello molded desserts.

Once they were fully through the portal I could see what it was.

It was a man that seemed to be the same age as my father and around six foot tall. With sun golden hair and deep green eyes. His golden hairs surrounded his full lips, though his extended goatee failed to hide the strong chin and cheek bones.

He stared at me for a moment before he moved out of the way for something else coming through the jello portal. This man came through quicker and stared at me until the portal closed behind him. He had raven black hair and storm grey eyes, but with a light swirl of green within them.

Our staring contest was broken when Diamond threw her arms around the dark haired man’s neck. “Father!” She squealed. He laughed and twirled her around. “My little gemstone. I have missed you so much.” He chuckled in a deep baritone voice. After their short reunion, Diamond let go of her father and came over to my side.

“Father… King Arthur.. ” She bowed to the man with the golden hair. Then she raised her hand in my direction. “Allow me to introduce my lady, and misstress. Princess Iris Madrigal of the werewolves and lycans.” She said. I gave a bow to the two men in front of me and they bowed to me in return.

“It is a pleasure to meet you, your highness. I am King Arthur Pendragon.” The man with the golden hair said. “And I am his protector, Merlin Sylvestrus. I am also Mara’s father, if you haven’t guessed that part.” He said with a playfully wink.

Ilaughed and nodded. “Actually father, my name is now

Diamond.” Diamond said, fully proud of her new name. Both men chuckled a bit. “Oh so now you truly are my gemstone. My little diamond.” Sir Merlin said, in amusement. Diamond beamed and nodded happily.

Then she introduced King Arthur and Sir Merlin to my parents.

“This is Queen Ofelia and King Alberto.” She said. Mom and Dad both bowed to King Arthur. “Though it is only for one more night.” Mom jokes. “Yes. Tomorrow is the ceremony when we pass the title down to our eldest son, Prince Miguel Madrigal, and his mate. Our daughter and her mate will be taking up the second in command position and become the royal betas of the pack.” Dad told them.

king Arthur and Sir Merlin both nodded. “And this woman, Bethany, is suppose to strike either during the tournament or the ceremony along with Morgana… correct?” King Arthur asked.

Diamond and I both nod. “We believe she is. We know what Bethany is planning so far, thanks to Diamond, but we have no clue on Lady Morgana.” | said.

I noticed that Sir Merlin clenched his fist tightly, but before I could ask him anything… Mom spoke up. “We will be finalizing the plans tomorrow morning at breakfast, so for now let me and my mate show you to your rooms for the night.” She said.

King Arthur gave a slight bow. “That would be perfect. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Hopefully when this is all over, we can visit again and build a great bond.” He said. Mom and dad smiled as they led them out of the room. I turned to Diamond. ” Diamond, does your father know Lady Morgana?” I asked.

She nods. “Yes he was the one that captured her after overthrowing King Vlad. Why?” She asked. “I don’t know. He seemed to tense up after I said her name.” | told her honestly. Diamond scratched her head. “I don’t know why. We can ask him about it tomorrow morning.” She suggested. I nodded in agreement. We needed to know everything we can about Lady Morgana and I have a feeling Sir Merlin knows something we don’t about her.

Third Person POV

As King Alberto and Queen Ofelia led King Arthur and Sir Merlin down the hallway to their guest rooms. King Arthur mind linked Sir Merlin.

‘Merlin, you still haven’t told Diamond about Morgana?’ He asked. ‘No. I haven’t. To be honest, I was hoping I would never need to. Merlin replied. ‘This won’t be good. Diamond has a right to know.

You and Gwendolyn should have told her before sending her off her find her liege! Arthur scolded.

“I know. I just didn’t know how to tell her. It was difficult telling

Gwen about it all those years ago. Merlin said. ‘It doesn’t matter.

When Morgana escaped she left a message behind. You should recall what it said? King Arthur said sternly. Sir Merlin internally sighed. ‘Yes sir I do! He replied.

His mind goes back to the day the evil witch had escaped. In the b***d of the guards she killed during her escape, Morgana wrote a single message on her cell walls.

‘I will have my little dove!

Sir Merlin knew what she meant. It was the only thing Morgana would ask for on a daily basis. He never thought that a bad mistake in the past would come back to haunt him now.
