Chapter 47 Shocking Revelations
- “A prophecy that a female child would be born when the Adair bloodline was all but gone, born under a blood eclipse with royal blood within her veins. A child that had the power to destroy the world within her grasp… There were many versions of this old prophecy, changed and morphed with time. Despite House Adair trying to keep the secret prophecy safe and genuine. With time, parts of it were lost… But what we know is enough. Layana, you hold a power that could protect us or could destroy everything depending on how you use it.
- Your mother feared for your life. Although she knew the risk of bringing you into this world could only bring you hardship, she could end the pregnancy, not when you were living within her. Some foresaw her pregnancy, seeking out the child she carried. I kept her hidden away until she gave birth,” the king sighed heavily, remembering the pain and betrayal that reflected in her eyes when she found out he was married and a father already. He had met her around the time when he had married Azalea… He turned and looked at Layana.
- “Our relationship was already strained due to me having two queens, but for your sake, she remained in hiding. We both decided that once you were born, I would take you and she would leave Ehlesaar and try to throw off anyone trying to find her. We promised not to stay in touch so you could not be traced. There were many who sought you out, however, the prophecy was not well known and the part regarding your royal blood was something only the Adair's knew off. So you remained hidden, in open sight. No one would even consider the king's daughter to be the child of prophecy,” the king continued.
