Echo of the Shadows [FKoA Fanfic] [SLOW UPDATES]

III

Christina POV:

"Chris-nee-sama, can we stay here again for the night?"

"Of course dear." I said, taking a sip of my afternoon tea

"Pardon the intrusion, but you have a message my highness." Zya said entering the dining room

"A message? From whom?" I asked

"Pellegarde-sama." 

"Hm...I wonder what he needed.." I mumbled "Alright kiddo's after eating your lunch, you can do whatever you want in the castle, 'kay? Listen to Viera and the others too."

"Hai~"

"Then I will see guys later." I said as I stood from my seat and headed out my castle. When I got outside, I revealed my wings and flew to Pellegarde's residence

(Image not mine. CTTRO)

I arrived and just when I was to knock, I heard voices coming from inside, he didn't call for me to have tea with his friends or comrades again did he?

Last time he called me, I had tea with the Four Evils!

Without knocking, I opened the door as I say, "Pellegarde you better not have invited or called me again for a te-" I stopped mid-sentence when I saw unfamiliar people on his table

"What...?" Suddenly the blue haired girl and red headed boy stood up abruptly and got on guard while the one with pink(magenta) hair sat still on his(her?) seat

"You're...!?"

"What in the world, Pellegarde?" I said "Also you two.." I gestured to the two who were on high guard "Lower your guard. You look familiar, but I will leave that question later on."

"So Pellegarde, why'd you call me?"

"Your highness, these people can help you recover your lost memories." Pellegarde said immediately

"What?" They said in confusion and shocked

"What do you mean about that?" The blue haired girl said

"Wait...First can I know your names?" I said

"Call me Anne." The girl said

"Donny."

"Gowther."

"Gowther of the Seven Deadly Sins? Huh? What is an enemy of brother here in Camelot?"

"Brother?"

Gowther frowned a bit and looked at me, "Arthur is not your brother, Christina."

Huh? Somehow...I am feeling dizzy...?

"Pellegarde, are you telling the truth?" I said changing the subject "Can they really help me recover the ones I've lost?"

However, before my question was answered, a man came barging and said that they've been spotted. I frowned and turned to them.

"Escape through the backdoor, now!"

Pellegarde went out to take care of them. And as they ran out, Anne turned towards me with a hand outstretched, "Come with us!"

I smiled then shook my head, "I apologize but I cannot. Not for now at least. I believe Pellegarde's words, and I know we will all see each other again, not now but maybe some time in the future?" 

I then outstretched my right palm and a light appeared above, "Take this. These vials are potions I brewed for healing, it can help Gowther-san heal the severed arm. It is brewed with herbs and my magic. Take care of these potions as it can also help a loved one cheat death or near death situation."

She hesitated but, took the vials carefully and looked at me with hope and determination, "I promise I'll tell them you are alive and in Camelot but lost your memories. We'll save you too, I promise!"

I nodded as I gave her a smile, "Now go quickly!!"

After seeing them all disappear in the forest I went out, "What is all this commotion?" I asked walking near Pellegarde and Fiona-san

"Ah! Your highness!" The Knight said in shock "Apologies, I didn't know you were here!"

"Pellegarde called me for another tea party." I sighed annoyingly "That aside, what is happening? Why are you here?"

"Ah, you see. There are people who somehow matched the description of the suspects."

"Hm. Is that so? Then go look for them then. Most especially if they are a threat!"

"YES!!"

"Go search the castle then." Pellegarde said nonchalantly

They did as told and search the grounds until a shout was heard in the forest.

Who the fuck shouted?!! Now, they are caught!!

The knight then asked Pellegarde for help in capturing the 'suspects'. I watched as Pellegarde 'destroyed' them. I smiled, on the outside it looked like I smiled because they were gone but actually the opposite.

Let us meet again when fate lets us.
