“And how about Erura? Jennifer said in a very choking voice. Her question was an attempt to tear her heart with her hands.
“Erura’s is fine, she only needed some health care and a little rest, I expect to wake up as soon as she is healthy and her energy was easy to compensate”
Jennifer felt a little rest but her nerves were still very tense and she was waiting for Violet to wake up as she waiting for a miracle.
It took several minutes before Eyelids Violet moved several times before she could completely open them, she was not aware of the number of faces that were around her, faces she knew and faces she did not know and were not familiar at all. She did not feel fully conscious, she felt as if she were living a dream.
A great feeling of joy struck Jennifer as she watched Violet awake. She felt as if her spirit had returned to her body again. She could not express her great happiness. She continued to stare at her daughter as she clasped her hands more with both hands. She wanted to make her feel that she was here, somehow wanting her to feel she is her mother without uttering.
Violet could only remember her house, her room and then her mother, but she was not really able to remember what had happened. Did she sleep on her return from university? Did her mother forget to wake her up on time? she was not able to perceive what is happening around, why is she in this room? And who are these people?
she began to wander their faces until she saw Leonardo and Albert, She looked at Leonardo with surprise and said: “Where am I? Why am I not in my room?
Leonardo stared at her without being able to believe what she was saying. The signs of tension were clear on his face. He could not understand what happened to Violet, how could she forget everything that happened?
“We left the Earth Violet, do you remember?” He told her hesitantly, not knowing whether to remind her or not, and perhaps his biggest concern was remembering what he had done.
Violet looked at him disapprovingly and then went back to trying to remember what had happened, her attempt to remember increased the pain of her head. It was not easy for her to retrieve the events and what brought her here.
She remembered what Alfred had done, her last moments with her mother, her tears on her neck, her long hug and bitter weeping. She remembered the last two words she told her mother: “I’ll come back wait for me”.
“I want to go back I’ve done what you want from me I need to go back,” Violet said, Although she felt that her lean body would never let her go back, her mind never stopped calling her mother, who wanted to see her hard and be beside her now.
Leonardo did not know what to say. She thinks he is the one who wanted to exploit it as Victoria wanted.
he wished that she knew that he had thrown all his hopes to see his mother just to save her, he was unable to answer her because he did not know how to heal her wound,
Jennifer said without thinking that she holds her daughter’s hand strongly to convey her feelings to her: “I am the heart that has searched for you for years, I am the soul that withered as looking for the fragrance of your soul, I am your mother”
Violet looked at her as if aware of her presence just now, without ever realizing her words. Jennifer’s words did not touch anything inside Violet as Jennifer had expected to do.
Violet’s tears were on her cheeks, she was very tired and she was not sure of her feelings or what she was saying. She was not aware of what was happening and all she felt was the coldness of her limbs. Her body relaxed and then returned to her head on the pillow she could not stand.
Jennifer looked at her sadly and her heart bursts. She was very tired. She examined the pallor of her face and the color of her lips. She did not know what to do, she thought for a second before looking at her son, William, and she said in a very broken tone and her tears fell from her eyes warmly: “Bring your sister Erura here right now”
Albert and Leonardo could understand what Jennifer was in her heart and what she wanted.
Jennifer thought that this was the only and last thing she could offer her daughter and her heart, who wanted to live by gathering the twins who had broken up.
Violet’s condition was getting worse every minute while Jennifer’s pain doubles, she felt as if her spirit had come back to life again and was gradually withering again.
The entry of Erura with William and Thomas the room moved something small inside her. she watched her silently without being able to give her a strong hug,
Erura approached with hesitant steps from the bed and then her eyes fell on Violet’s weary face, she sat beside Violet while she continued to stare at her and her features. She felt as if she saw a reflection of herself that was different from her body, but they have the same features. It was as if she had found someone who had always looking for, part of her.
Violet opened her heavy eyelids and was overwhelmed by a feeling like a feeling of Erura as she was looking at her, she did not feel fully conscious or maybe she was in a dream that she would never wake up from, Erura held Violet’s hand without hesitation, something very deep inside her, pushing her to give her whole attention to Violet, and without the slightest will, her tears ran down her cheeks.
Violet’s hand slipped into Erura’s hands as the other fell on the bed. Erura began to feel Violet’s coldness, making her freeze without any reaction. She did not want to assume any assumptions, but Jennifer’s cry woke her from her freeze and made her release Violet hand from her hands. She got up from the bed and her heartbeat accelerated as the tears in her eyes prevented her from seeing clearly. Jennifer was lying next to Violet’s body, crying madly, unable even to let her hand.
Leonardo jumped out of his place and wanted to get close to her and shake her to wake up he was never ready for such thing, she can’t die and leave him alone tormented forever, she can’t die before apologizing to her.
Violet died as the Violet rose died from the harsh winter. She died because of her longing for her mother,
He found himself coming out of the room after he had lost his stamina, He stopped at the end of the corridor and then began to cry very hard. He was leaning back against the wall, wanting to disappear. He was not able to bear the pain.
“it’s not your fault” Albert whispered to him as he patted his back. Albert felt the feeling of fatherhood toward Leonarda as if he was his son.
He was quite aware that Violet would die and that her death would have a strong impact on Leonardo, which made him refuse to leave him alone,
“Violet has died because of me, she will never forgive me,” Leonardo said with a muffled voice.
“Violet did not die because of you, not because of what Victoria did. First of all, it was a factor, but it was not a major cause. Violet was subjected to many shocks because of the government of the Earth that exploited her first and then separated her from her mother and instigated her father To kill her “
Albert’s words were not calmed by Leonardo’s disquiet and his painful sense of guilt. Nothing compensates him from Violet’s death.
Chapter 33
T hree days have passed since Violet’s death, The calm on the palace did not resemble any calm before, The Victorian authority did not exist anymore, and it began to equip the departure dirigibles very quietly away from the palace, The armies of hundreds of men were preparing to leave with their weapons. they were signs of war, A new war that has terrified the citizens of Gliza, who began to pack their bags according to Victoria’s orders.
Leonardo, Albert, William, Erura, and Thomas gathered in one of the palace chambers. They’ve been meeting a lot lately without talking together, but they kind of shared the same sadness, but they all really share their desire to stay away from Victoria altogether.
William was the youngest trying to help his mother overcome her pain and remove her from the dark room where she locked herself. He was not so much affected by the death of his sister that he only knew her in the last few hours of her life and he really wished he did not know her at all.
Erura meeting with Leonardo after a long period of time shocked her by the fact that she did not expect her to meet him in such circumstances. Nor did she know why he was so sad about Violet’s death, is he knew her? but she was on Earth as she understood and Thomas told her that he was the one who knew she and Violet were the daughters of Jennifer,
Today was the day of departure of spacecraft away from the territory of the planet Gliza perhaps forever while Victoria organized some vigilante groups to stay with the inhabitants of the planet Gliza until they get a signal from her to come to Earth after taking control of it completely, It will not be in her interest to her people arrived before they have full control.
They all met at the dining table for the first time after Victoria had gone with her spacecraft, they shared the same frustrations and despair. The expressions of their faces, as if they were clones, were sitting with their heads lowered without speaking, staring at their dishes without being able to eat anything.
Your father, Erura, “said Albert, referring to Erura.” Edward, who has falsely admitted that he killed you and your sister, do you think he did this for nothing? Do you think he died for nothing? Did not he want to protect you and your sister from the evils of Victoria? Would you give up because you can not stand up to Victoria? “
The expressions of Erura’s face were frozen without answering, but this was the first time she found herself unable to respond. Although she did not know anything about her father, his sacrifice meant much to her. He paid his life for her, Her sister died because of Victoria, although he did what he did to protect her from Victoria.
“John’s father of Leonardo, also sacrificed his life in order to make you live Erura and I also think he was looking for the safety of Violet, so Victoria would not get what she wanted and to protect us from the darkness of war for as long as possible, and I lost my family because I tried to save Violet from a certain death” Albert said while Leonardo tried hard to hide the tears that gathered in his eyes, he felt that everything around him was pointing to him and to what he had done with a great sin against Violet, whom his father had protected before.
The signs of panic were visible on the faces of all the officials gathered in Bernald’s office as Bernald’s body was sweating profusely. He was unable to do anything or even talk, They were told about the storming of the Earth by several huge spacecraft a few hours ago until they broke into many areas and took full control of them. Several police officers were killed in an attempt to prevent them from breaking into the areas, but their strength and number were much higher, Bernald could do nothing but fortify their city, the city of dreams, and even if it fortified it would not last long.
“It’s over,” said Bernald, with a muffled voice and a desperate tone, his forehead resting on his hand.
Everyone was looking at him with great fear, they start to imagine they terrible end at the hands of the intruders or even the general public. That was their biggest nightmare.
Only George who stood up from his chair madly and his body trembling while his eyes were very red and his white hair scattered carelessly to say with a loud voice and high tone: “It is impossible to give up so easily, Do not you know what will happen to us if they can break into our city? Our fate will be death. We should not end this fast” He continued, his voice growing louder. “ What will happen to our families and our children? We will live humiliated we will lose everything “
None of them could say anything. They knew what would happen to them anyway and did not need to hear George’s abhorrent words.
“We have to do something,” he said with great irritation, cuz their silence killed him.
Bernald raised his head in surrender and he replied coldly: “And what do you propose to do?”
“We must equip the military to attack, we must defend ourselves”
“And do you think that our soldiers can stand in front of them, even their number is not enough?” He replied coldly.
George’s enthusiasm has increased and he says tight-fisted: “But do not forget that our weapons are stronger than their weapons and know that their weapons are primitive, they do not have Bombs”
Bernald’s eyes widened for a moment and he was eagerly listened to, but as soon as he returned to his consciousness to say with disapproval: “The bombs will destroy a lot and then you forget that the enemy settles in our areas, we can not shoot them so easily”
“But none of us stays in those areas and the people in which they are just ordinary people have no value, “he said sarcastically, then smiled.” Since when have we been attentive to the public? One blow from our defenders will end everything and wipe out our enemies, and the citizens will be proud of their blood that was wasted for the homeland “
He finished his sentence to make his sarcastic laugh while There were signs of relaxation and rest on the faces of those present who had not disliked George idea.
“So let us thank the loyal citizens in recognition of their wasted blood for the safety of the nation and the safety of the nation’s rulers,” said Bernard sarcastically, as he was impressed by George idea To share with him the crazy hysterical laugh.
One of the planets of Gliza landed on Earth’s territory, Specifically where Albert’s secret place is. It was not difficult for Albert to convince everyone to leave the planet Gliza and the walls of the Victoria Palace, which was gripped by sorrows and painful memories. The process of persuading Thomas and William was the easiest and none of them liked to stay that way.
There was one goal that unites them, which is to stop Victoria, but Albert still aspires hard to avenge the government.
Everyone sat in the small Albert hut to begin to discuss exactly what they should do.
Albert said after lifting his eyes on the computer screen: “The news says that there are several areas occupied by the soldiers of Victoria” a little silence and then follow the “I fear that the government will behave madly”
“what do you mean?” Thomas asked, watching the confused features of Albert.
“I know them perfectly. They will not wait long for Victoria to take on everything.” Albert shied deeply then add “They’ll be crazy and they will not even care about the number of casualties. If they do, this war will never end.”
“What should we do now?” Erura said wearily, she was enraged by his puzzles and she did not understand anything of what he was saying.
“We must definitely stop them” Erura looked at him disapprovingly and then said:
“We Six Will Stop Them,” Erura said Sarcastically.
Albert ignored Erura and answered seriously: “I suggest that we separate into two groups. I am not sure that I still have the ability to enter the region of the government of the planet. Maybe they will not be able to see my existence anymore. I hope that this is possible.” he silences a little to think then followed : “We have weapons that we brought with us from the palace, so we can break into the headquarters of officials quietly, They will not care much about guarding their headquarters if they tighten the guard on the outer border and once we enter we will pass the stage of danger”
Leonardo just nodded to Albert to continued: “I think it would be appropriate if I, Leonardo, Thomas, and Erura went on a mission to storm the headquarters of the officials and then we would try to find out what was going on in their heads and we would prevent them from doing anything crazy, and William and Jennifer, I think it would be better if they tried to influence Victoria, I think William can affect Victoria or even deter her from doing anything harmful so we can act “
“But how can we affect my grandmother? You know very well that she did not care for anyone when she hurt my sister and hurt my mother,” William said sarcastically. Albert’s suggestion was not logical to him, if his grandmother cares about him they will not be here trying to save the planet.
“Your mother is still a strong point of influence on Victoria, she cares and gets so shocked when your mother found out the truth, and almost stopped everything so that Je
nnifer would not end her life, You are also her grandson, Carrying the royal blood,” Albert said.
William sighed, staring at the floor, could not find an explanation for his grandmother’s contradiction and how he could affect her.
“So I’m leaving now with William and his mother to get them to the nearest location where Victoria is now and have absolutely no one gonna hurt them because the place is surrounded only by Victoria’s guards who can identify William and his mother. The rest will wait for me here until I come back and then go “
Albert was the only one who planned and presented plans while everyone continued to listen to him in the hope that the war would end, but this did not limit the fear of some of them.
The employee looked at Thomas and Erura while she was busy watching the computer screen in front of her and only a few minutes until she looked at them to say: “I can not let you in now. I did not find any date for you with Mr. Bernald”
Thomas sat on the chair in front of the employee’s office and then said in a low voice: “We are here in a secret, necessary and very urgent order that will certainly anger you Mr. Bernald if you do not let us enter his office now”
The expressions of the employee’s face were a little confused, but she returned to say in confusion: “But Sir, I do not have the authority here, no matter what the reasons”
Thomas tried to maintain the coolness of his nerves as says to her smiling: “Do you allow me to call him and ask him for permission to enter”
The employee’s features were muted, but she only picked up the phone and started pressing a few buttons and then waited a little while to get a response.
The employee closed the phone and then said with confusing features: “I apologize but I have not received any response that seems have a meeting now.
