Chapter 63: Chapter 63

Eliana's Point of View

"Thank you for talking to me today. I know it must have been hard to speak out about the things that have happened to you."

"I am not going to lie. It was hard for me to speak out, but I knew I needed to do it. I want to speak up for all of those who have been abused by someone who was supposed to care for them. You are not alone," I said

"That was well said. I have a question for Prince Cayson,"

"Yes," Cayson said

"How are you feeling about having an older sister. Do you have any resentment toward her?"

"Why would I?" Cayson asked

"Well, you have been raised as an only child and now someone comes along and you are not the only child anymore. plus, now that Princess Eliana is here, that means that she is the rightful heir to the warlock throne."

"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion

"Well, you are the eldest of King Syrus's children. You are the only one that has the power to take over. Just like Prince Killian is the eldest and the only one that can take over the werewolf throne,"

I was shocked at what he said. How was I supposed to take over the warlock throne?"

"I am happy that Eliana is here. I have known about her existence since I was born. I always wanted to be in her life and so did my father. The only reason we stayed away was because we thought it was best for her. Now I know we were wrong, and I feel just as bad as my father does. I hate knowing that she suffered. I always knew that Eliana was the rightful heiress and I have always been okay with that," Cayson said

"Well, that is all. I am so happy that you found your family, Princess Eliana. I can tell they care about you," the reporter said

"Thank you for speaking to us," Syrus said

"Of course, King Syrus. Thanks for having me. I should get going . I have another appointment soon. It was nice meeting you Princess Eliana."

"Nice meeting you too," I replied, and they left.

"That went well," Killian said

"Yeah," Helena added

"What is this about me taking over the warlock kingdom?" I asked

"We should talk about this in my office," Syrus said and we headed to his office. Killian and I sat across from Syrus and Helena at his desk

"Eliana, it is true. You are the eldest child and that means you are the only one that will be able to take over the warlock kingdom."

I had learned at Enchanted Academy that the firstborn in a supernatural royal family would be the one born with the power to rule, but I had never really thought about it much.

"What about Cayson. He is the one that was raised here. I am sure he is more capable to rule then me," I said

"Cayson wasn't born with the same abilities that you were born with. If he tried to go through with the crowning ceremony, he would die because his body would not be strong enough to obsorb the powers," Killian said. I remembered learning that as well

"Eliana I know this must be a lot for you to take in but the throne is your birthright and only you can claim it," Syrus said

"Is that the reason you wanted to meet me? Because you knew I was the only one that could take over," I asked

"What? No. I wanted to meet you because you are my daughter."

I didn't know what to believe. Syrus had never came to see me. Not until now. He stayed away from me my entire childhood and now I learn that I am the only one that can take over the warlock kingdom.

"Look, Eliana. I know you are not ready to take over as Queen of the warlocks and witches. I know this is a lot but this is your birthright. I want to help you learn. We can wait until you are ready," Syrus said

There was a knock on the door, taking us from our conversation

"Come in," Syrus said, and a man who looked to be around Syrus's age walked inside

"King Syrus, the meeting is starting soon," the man said

"I will be there in a moment," Syrus said, and the man closed the door

"How about you go and take care of your meeting. We can talk about this later," Helena said. Syrus looked at me and I could tell he was worried

"Go ahead," I said

"Okay, we will talk later," Syrus said, and he left.

"How about I show you around. I am sure Cayson would like to come too," Helena said

"Love," Killian said as he looked at me

"Sure."
