Nova sat on the dining seat working on her laptop as both Nicole and Michael sat on the couch looking at her, she pretended she wasn't seeing them and kept scrolling with the mouse as her eyes were glued on the computer screen.

The printer was connected wirelessly to the laptop and after clicking the print option the printer began to print the files she had chosen.

She pushed the laptop aside and turned to the printer as she pulled out the papers one by one.

After she had pulled everything out she turned off the printer and turned to Nicole.

"I'm done." She said, pushing the files forward.

"Ok," Nicole said as she walked to the table and began to go through the files.

After going through the files and seeing that there wasn't any problem she turned to Nova.

"So you've been an Angel all this while." She said,

"Yes, I've told you yes like five times already," Nova said.

After Michael had discovered her true identity and told Michael she knew there was no point trying to deny it.

Michael asked her what her mission was again and she said that she was just here to check a few things out and didn't specify what she was checking out.

Nicole promised her that her secret was safe with them and things had gone back to normal after that but not exactly as Michael and Nicole were no longer viewing her in the way they used to do before.

"Yeah, can I ask a little favor from you?" Nicole asked.

"What?" Nova said.

"Can I see your wings?" Nicole asked.

"You want to see my wings?"

"Yeah," Nicole said, looking at her shoulders.

"Ok but I'm going to need a new shirt after this," Nova said.

She got up from her seat and walked to the center of the room where there was enough space.

Nicole's eyes brightened as her white wings slowly sprouted out from her back stretching to the far ends of both sides of the room.

Nicole didn't say anything as she walked to her and began to caress one of the wings.

"Doesn't bringing out your wings cause you any pain?" Michael asked.

He saw that unlike Luis she had brought out her wing while standing and he didn't see any form of discomfort on her face while the wings were sprouting out from her back.

"It used to cause me pain but I've gotten used to it," Nova said.

"And I thought Luis' wings were beautiful and soft," Nicole said as she caressed the wing.historical

'Luis.' Nova thought.

"So are all Angels in heaven as pretty as you?" Michael asked.

"Michael," Nicole said, turning to Michael with a not-so-pleasant look on her face.

"Sorry," Michael said, turning to sit properly on the couch.

A lot of noise was being generated as the people of Asaka had once again received a call from the king and were all gathered in front of the king's castle.

"I wonder what this one is all about."

"It may be good news."

"Or it may be worse news than the last one."

"Maybe this time we will be on total lockdown instead of the night curfew."

"Don't say that my business has fallen considerably because of the night curfew."

"Where's Jude?" Felix asked Maya who was standing beside him.

"I don't know, he left this afternoon and hasn't returned till then," Maya said.

Everyone's attention was called as the king made his way to the stands where he addressed his people.

The amplifying stone was handed to him as he observed everybody present there.

If the people of Asaka could see the face of their king they would know that all wasn't well and worse news than the last one was about to come.

"Greetings to you all people of Asaka." King Roy spoke as his voice was amplified to the hearing of everyone with the help of the amplifying stone.

"Greetings your majesty." The people's voices echoed in unity.

"The last time I called you all to gather like this it was because of the threatening message I got from the elf king and this time he has also sent me another message."

The murmurs among the people increased as they heard that the king had gotten another message from the elf king.

"It has to be another bad news given that we haven't found the elves yet."

"I sent a messenger to tell the elf king that we couldn't find any elves and the messenger returned with one of his hands gone. The elf kind accused me of lying and said he had removed two days from the seven days he gave us." King Roy said.

The murmurs among the people increased the more the king dropped bad news.

"Where's Jude?" Felix asked, looking around.

"Please for the safety of our kingdom, if you know you are the one harboring those elves, turn them in, I do not intend to fight a battle that will not benefit me and my people anything.

"You are the ones that will suffer most if the elves should invade our kingdom."

That was the last thing the king said before he made his way down the stand.

Felix rushed home to Maya and when they got there they still couldn't find him.

"Where is he?" Felix asked, looking around the room. "Why has Jude returned from knight academy to cause problems for this kingdom?"

"Relax Felix," Maya said.

"I should relax?" Felix said, giving her a cold stare.

It didn't take long before the front door moved and Jude pulled it open to enter the room with a scroll in his hand.

"Where have you been Jude?" Maya asked.

"Why are you asking him that question? We both know he went to check on those elves where he is hiding them." Felix said.

"Why are you acting like this father?" Jude asked.

"You and those elves you're hiding are the reason why this kingdom may be in a big mess in three days to come," Felix said.

"Three days?" Jude said, turning his gaze to his mother.

"Yes, the elf king had shortened the days," Maya said.

"Turn those elves in Jude or I am going to do it myself and you are going to be in deep trouble," Felix said.

Jude stared silently at his father as he clenched his fists and bit his lips.

"Go ahead father, do it, turn in the elves that helped your son escape near death and have helped me find a way to find Tania," Jude said. "I can't believe you all have forgotten about her, the only reason you're trying to prevent this is because of your business and everything you've built the things you value more than your children."

After saying all those things directly to Felix's face he didn't say a word again because there were some truths in what Jude had told him.

"Did you say you found a way to find Tania?" Maya asked, that was the only thing that had really caught her attention.

"Yes mother, we've found a way," Jude said, raising the scroll he was holding to his view.
