“I do not know that I just messed with it and this is not the first time, why open this time so easily? I thought it was just a stupid old myth” Jennifer said.
Victoria opened the book to look at its content.
“What is written in this book?” Jennifer asked her curiously.
“He talks about the earth,” she answered without looking at her.
“And what’s the point? did we need a book about the earth?”
Her mother ignored her words and tried to check this book with all its important details.
“well, happy reading I had a curiosity to know how I opened the box, but I’m tired and I need to sleep and I really hope with all my heart to read what comforts you mom, and saves you from those fears and myths,” Jennifer said then went out.
The queen stayed alone reading that book and all the curiosity kills her to know all the hidden things that she always wants to know about her homeland.
she opened the book and start reading: “ I have no identity and I do not think about identifying myself. many years ago especially when the inhabitants of the northern part were deported away from the earth planet, I was a child who was forgotten at the time and after the departure of my family and friends, I lived trying to penetrate them but it did not last long, on the last moments of my life I was barely able to collect this information everything that will help in the future. I wrote that information in this book and put it in a box that I wish would end up in safe hands “
she began browsing at the titles looking for something interesting, checked the index to find a title “conflict on the planet earth, she began to read the text with great interest.
Since the Earth originated and its inhabitants live in peace despite their division into different cultures, understanding and solidarity were present It began with a small spark that created sensitivities among part of the Earth’s population, This was the beginning of a protracted civil war.
The hatred and anger among the various peoples arose and with it, many tangles began to appear, the one who can gain power is the biggest winner. After a bitter quarrel, people clashed with one another, exploiting their hatred of another, In the end, they managed to split into two parts. the first part lives in the Northern region of the Earth and the other part is concentrated in the southern part of it.
The disagreement did not end here because the two groups complemented each other and each needed something from the other, Instead of establishing relations and creating a new harmony between them, the war began, and a prolonged quarrel began, and who defeated in the war will leave the earth for good.
The war intensified between them for years, months and days until the inhabitants of the northern part realized that their numbers were beginning to diminish so they decided to surrender and leave altogether. “
she turned the pages until she found another headline that caught her attention “Back to Planet Earth”
“The inhabitants of the northern part will try to come back in any way and they will invent a lot of ways, but what they do not know is that the planet is surrounded by a magnetic membrane, No one will be allowed to enter except to decipher the glass ball, This will not happen until they and their enemies on Earth have a Good relation to breaking the enmity between them, they will have to sacrifice by establishing the strongest relationships, by marrying a person from the northern part who “left the planet” with a woman from the southern part “who still live on a planet Land “ Or vice versa, and when a child is born he can only decode the ball attached to the box and the northern people can back to the earth but this will result in the death of the child after a short period”
She stopped reading after being disappointed and shocked. She worked all these years to discover that the solution was far from what she had thought, she continued to flip the pages to find something useful until another headline pop up: “Who can open this box?
“This box can only be opened by a child born of a father and mother of two different parts.
Additional Cases:
The mother of the child can open the box only in case the child is still a fetus in her belly,”
Her eyes widened at that sentence, is this real or just unrealistic expectations? her hand trembled, carrying the book It was a mixture of emotions by finding what she is looking for without struggle or efforts, but she has to sacrifice her daughter’s child which will lose her mind without a doubt if she knows the truth and find out what was written in this book.
Chapter 17

T he place was full of darkness, while the fatigue on the face of Princess Jennifer, But all this soon disappear between the brightness of the strong hope when she heard the scream of her baby but she only heard the sound of his crying she did not even see it.
She suddenly her heart beating fast what made her feel that something bad would happen, she looked at her mother, who was standing like a fetish without moving, she said after she knows that something terrible happened: “Mom, what happened? Where is the baby?”
“Your child is in a serious state and needs health care,” her mother replied with without even looking at her
She was afraid of her mother, who was standing motionless in front of her and could not see her dark features. “I want to see my child,” Jennifer said in an attempt to mute her crying. to add to the midwife “Where is my child? Where did you go? “
“Twins, not just one child, my condolences to you Madam, we could not do anything, they died,” the midwife said sadly.
She went crazy and began to scream with pain and cry insanely.
“I told you they would not live,” her mother said,
The echo of that sentence remained in Jennifer’s head until she wakes up from her nightmare, screamed madly until her screams were heard all over the Grand Palace.
Her mother sat beside her trying to calm her down, but she was still living the details of that dreadful nightmare.
“It was just a nightmare, my love,” her mother said reassures her.
“mom, you know that my nightmares often happen,” Jennifer said with a muffled voice.
She cried with great pain “Yes dear often but not always” her mother said while wiping her hair.
Her mother’s words could not stop her from wailing and crying nonstop. Victoria asked her with curiosity, puzzled by the nightmare that had affected her daughter so much.” what did you dream of?”
“She died, the twins died,” Jennifer said, shaking.
“what twins?” Her mother asked her with features puzzled on her face.
“Do not you remember what the midwife said? She told me that my belly size was bigger than normal and that there might be two fetuses.”
Victoria ignored her daughter’s talk and her fear and said trying to make her forget that nightmare.
“this just a nightmare, darling do not think about it, you are about to put your first child for this reason you are tense and scared. Your subconscious mind gives you things that are not real, “she said, then wiped her hair to try to calm her down.
She came out of her daughter’s room after she calmed down a bit, Removing the mother’s affectionate mask from her, a lot of ideas were running in her head without stopping. she thought to take advantage of the opportunity in a convincing way. She was still traumatized by her knowledge of the bitter reality,
She swore to return to the earth and take revenge for her royal family and restore her dignity, but the price of this is very expensive. She did not really care for her next grandson as much as she cares for her daughter who will break her heart completely, just a nightmare made her entry in this hysterical case, what if it really? How can she convince her to give up the life of her first child in order to return to earth and she does not even care about the earth?
She entered her room and closed the door trying to blow all those thoughts off her head. She got up on her bed very tired and only a few minutes passed until she was covered in a deep sleep.
She felt someone touch her body and whisper to her.
“Lady Victoria, please wake up,” said one of the maids.
“Why do you wake me up?” She said muttering as she runs her body to the other side.
“Ms. Jennifer, she gives birth to her child,” she said, nervously.
Victoria jumped out of her place as soon as she heard the servant, And she began to run quickly in the corridors of the narrow palace to her daughter’s room.
She arrived at the door to found her daughter’s husband standing by the door waiting anxiously, she went forward to open the door and enter, but he stood in front of her to block her way.
stared at him with her sharp eyes and then said, “get out of my way”
He was surprised by her looks, although his relationship with her is not that strong, but she always treated him coldly without arguing with him, he said with understanding and calm: “The midwife prevented anyone from entering”
“No wonder someone like you wearing the dress of angels and is a demon from the inside, just stop the hypocrisy,” she said with a sarcastic smile.
“I do not know what wrong with you, but all I know is that this is not the time for such a debate,” he said with indignation, after long staring at her, trying to understand her intent.
Before she uttered another word, she heard a loud cry followed by the sound of a child crying and only a few seconds later to heard the sound of another child crying, and the palace overfill with the noises of the two children.
The midwife and the maid came out carrying the two babies with a smile on their face.
“congratulation my lady, two beautiful girls,” she said with joy, looking at the girl on her hands in love.
she stared with great surprise that she never expected this, two girls ?! things are getting more and more complicated with two children instead of one.
“Madam, is there something wrong?” the maid said to her after she notices her mind-wandering.
She changed her features to show a false smile on her face and said “nothing, I’m happy” and then add “very happy”
She went into the room and looked at her daughter, who was lying on the bed with fatigue and tiredness on her face. Her husband was sitting beside her with great joy.
When Jennifer saw her mother, she looked at her in sharp eyes saying: “My mother, are the two children in good health? Tell me, please do not lie to me,” she said with sadness and tears filling her eyes. She is still under the influence of that nightmare.
“Yes, in excellent health” she answered reassuringly.
“So why do you look nervous?” She said and signs of anxiety appear on her face.
“Your mother did not look okay since we were out,” husband of Jennifer answered while he avoided looking at her.
“Edward what happened outside was just a reflection of my stress,” She said to allow a fake smile to appear on her face and add “Jennifer, I’m just a little tired and I need some rest, I’ll be back after a little while,” she said, and then went straight out.
“Your mother behaves in a strange way, she did not even look at the two girls,” Edward said after Victoria’s went out.
“she is just tired, Edward, nothing wrong,” she said, smiling to her husband, contradicting everything in her head.
Victoria was very tired while her mind was completely distracted. She did not know what to do or where to go, she stopped at the children’s room and entered, then looked at their beds with glowing eyes as if she had seen a very precious treasure, she thought among herself that she would never give up on her oath no matter what the circumstances, she looked at the room at the fine details her daughter had placed on the wall of that room with all love, she turned her eyes towards the picture of Edward hanging in the room next to the picture of her daughter, she stared at his image, checking his features with disgust, He is one of those enemies who sent to spy on them, she was oblivious to this, they were able to achieve part of the expected goal, but why? Why did he choose her daughter? she deceived her and made her love the angelic mask he always wore, she looked more closely for a while not so long as she glimpsed a devilish idea in her head that made her fully aware that she was on her way to achieving her goals, whatever the damage is, it will eventually return to Earth and then everything will be resolved
Chapter 18
Location: Gliza Planet
T he sun shone illuminate the vast palace from the glass windows, In spite of all that quiet and bright atmosphere, there was a loud scream over the palace.
Jennifer stood in her daughter’s room, still wearing her long white dress. she looked at the maid with blame and then she said: “ are you kidding? Where are my daughters?
The maid shakings and the horror runs through her heart as she thinks of her fate if something wrong happened to the granddaughters of the royal family.
“Madam, I heard a loud noise and I rushed to see what was happening. I was only a few minutes away and when I came back I could not find them.” She said,
Jennifer’s eyes were filled with tears when she remembered her nightmare. Maybe it was time to come true or maybe it was a new nightmare, this is her dream at the moment.
The maid was very nervous. Sometimes she was afraid for herself and sometimes she felt sad when she looked at Princess Jennifer.
Jennifer’s sitting on the floor of the room and crying without thinking of any solution, and the sound of her crying gathers everyone in the palace. Victoria dragged her long dress after the gatherings were dispersed at the door of the room. she looked at her daughter, who was still yelling and crying, If not the situation is critical she would scold her for her behavior who is not appropriate of being a princess. she was very upset by the personality of her very weak daughter, so how could she rule a whole kingdom in the future?
“What are you doing here? Come on to your work” Victoria shouted at the crowd at the door.
Everyone was quick to leave, anyway, the news will spread in seconds, nothing hid in this palace. Victoria went up to her daughter and then asked her “what happened?”
Her daughter did not answer her as if she were in another world where her sorrows and pains, Victoria turned her eyes towards the standing maid and asked her the same question.
the maid rushed to respond before the anger of her lady grows: “The two girls .. I went out for minutes and when I returned I did not find them here”
Victoria stared at her with her sharp eyes and then she said “ How did this happen? Where were you from all this? How can you leave them alone? “
her greatest anger was the behavior of her daughter, she called on her guards, Two large men dressed in silver and gold, with a blue cloak and two iron hats of the same color.
She pointed to the maid and then order the guard “Take it until I look what I’m gonna do with her”
after the two guards left with the maid, Victoria went over to her daughter and then pulled her out, after her mother’s long insistence, she stood. she saw her swollen eyes and then said: “Crying without saying anything, is this the reaction of a princess in front of the servants and the guards of the palace?”
“Have not you heard from the maid? they have been kidnapped,” said Jennifer crying.
Victoria pulled her daughter from her arm and sat on the couch and then stood in front of her and said: “Stop crying and start thinking, what we gonna do about it”
Jennifer stopped crying, maybe her mother was right, there was no time to waste, “The most important question, where is your husband?” Victoria said.
Jennifer looked at her mother in surprise “I do not know I have not seen him since yesterday”
“he did it?” Victoria muttered and then said audibly, “I will figure out and you be strong and stop the wailing is useless now”
Without adding a word to what she said, Victoria went to where her throne and soon she sat down until a guard came to her. He bent the knee then barely said as he catches his breath:
“ My lady, one of the guards who have been assigned to follow Mr. Edward has come back”
“Listen very carefully to what I’m going to say and do it exactly,” she said, staring at him with her sharp eyes to add “ first you will send with this guards another group to help them and you will bring Edward and the two girls back here, but that would be without causing any fuss, I do not want anyone to know about their arrival and what is the most important is the girls, bring them to the cellar of the palace, I will be there waiting for you, I dont want anyone to see them, be careful about the secrecy of that”
The guard nodded to her and then asked permission to leave to Perform these commands.
“You will suffer, Edward,” Victoria muttered angrily.
Edward stood next to a huge vehicle that was looking at the orchards on the horizon, sighed with alarm.
he felt a hand on his shoulder, making him wake up from his daydreaming while the other person chose to remain silent
“How many years have we stayed here, John?” Edward said without taking his eyes away from the orchards.
“I think six years I do not remember exactly,” John replied.
“I feel I belong to that place more than I feel to my homeland”
John smiled and then said:” This is because your presence here was like a convalescence while you were on the planet was full of dangers and risks”
Edward shared the smile and shook his head in agreement,. Follow John saying: “The situation here is not so different from the earth, do not forget that everyone is looking for one thing and it is revenge, can you imagine if Victoria’s plans to return to Earth were successful? do you know what’s gonna happened”
“Definitely will not be worse than it is now,” Edward replied.
“It would even be worse, the war of the past will be repeated again and that humanity will be destroyed this time for good by a group of crazy people seeking power and victory,” Jhon said.
