Chapter 53 Lady Nita’s Condition

I had never seen the woman who was standing there be- fore, but instantly, I knew who she must be.

She was wearing a long, flowing purple gown with a robe over the top that reached the ground. Made of black velvet, the purple feathers at her shoulders made the robe look fit for a royal lady.

And that was exactly who was wearing it.

“Lady Nita, Your Highness,” Jake said, bowing low as he moved aside for her to come into the room.

“Greetings, Beta Jake. I am not surprised to see you here. However, I need to speak to my son in private, so I would like for you and the redheaded girl to leave at once.” She nodded at both Jake and Brook, and they exchanged a leery glance before walking out the door together.

Confused, I continued to sit next to Theo’s bed. Should I explain to her what was going on? Should I introduce myself? Should I excuse myself just like Jake and Brook? I didn’t know what to do.

“Ciana,” she said in an even tone, “move aside, please.”

My eyebrows arched. She knew who I was? I did as she said, getting up and scooting away from the bed as she slowly walked toward it. Theo was still unconscious, his forehead creased in consternation.

She stopped at the foot of his bed and stared at him for a long moment. She was thin, stoic and cold. It was said that Lady Nita was known for her beauty when she was young. However, the cold demeanor from the woman who stood in front of me made it hard for me to appreciate her elegant and almost perfect facial features.

I thought she would be around my mother’s age, but for some reason, I just felt that she was a bit older than my moth-er.

She walked past me and lifted her hands. A soft blue glow began to emanate out of them. The soft light filtered through the air and hovered around Theo’s body, bathing him in its warmth.

It didn’t look dangerous, like a bolt of lightning. Rather, it appeared to be inviting, soothing even.

Prince Theo began to blink his eyes, and as the light fad- ed, I saw that he was trying to sit up but was struggling. I took a few quick steps over and helped him to a sitting position be- fore even thinking about whether or not that was all right with the royal lady.

Since she had told me to move aside, as soon as Prince Theo was able to balance himself, I stepped away. Lady Nita didn’t comment on anything I’d done, so I decided to stay by the bed.

“Theodore,” she said, once he was seated up. “Do you know what happened to you?”

He was wincing a little, as if he was in pain, and I wanted to go to him, to help him, but I stayed back, letting mother and son do what needed to be done.

“Not sure,” he managed to grunt out. “But I think someone else was controlling the Moonlit Crystal.”
