"What do you mean?" Iris wondered.
Leigh moved toward a chair and sat there, Iris followed him and she stood up there looking at him waiting for answers.
"The parent of Lysandre killed my parents" he said calmly.
"What?!" She exclaimed
"My family and lysandre's family were eligible to become the rulers of the kingdom. So to eliminate their opponents they killed my own parent" he explained.
Iris was shocked. How could they do that? That was the question she asked to herself.
"And what happened to them?" She asked
"My uncle caught them and they have been executed"
"So your uncle was like a hero" she said
"Yes! Uncle Japheth is everything for us, the only one that we can trust" he said.
"I see…" she looked downward.
She now understood where all this hatred come but what she doesn't understand is how has lysandre became a thief and their boss.
"It's only lysandre that can answer this question to me" she thought.
"Leigh? Do you know what will happen to me?" She asked a little worried.
"Nothing for the moment. They have to confirm if you're really the one before doing something " he explained.
"I Hope when your brother will realize that I'm Bastet he will change his mind on me"
"I Hope too" he stood up as he said it but suddenly he felt dizzy.
"Are you okay?" Iris asked with concerned.
He grabbed his head.
"Yeah, I'm okay. This dizziness started the day I met you, I don't know why"
Iris stood silent then her eyes opened slightly , as if something came into her head.
"I think I'm just tired. Excuse me Iris, I will come to you later" Leigh said as he opened the door and left.
"I Hope it's not what I think" her eyes was widely opened.

"Uncle Japheth, If that girl is really the goddess Bastet then I will marry her" Ashkav said
"What stupidity are you saying Ashkav" Japheth said displeased
"The people will never accept it that a thief become a queen of this kingdom" he added.
"They will change their mind when they will know that she's the goddess" Ashkav said.
"Your majesty, I think you should think twice before taking any decision" Japheth proposed.
He really dislike that idea but it seems as if Ashkav had already taken his decision.
Ishkev that was behind the door heard all their discussion without them noticing him and he left.

In Iris chamber.
She was already sleeping when someone put a hand on her mouth. She opened her eyes in surprise and afraid to , she saw lysandre.
He gently removed his hand on her mouth.
"You frightened me!" She said
It didn't seem to bother lysandre.
"How did you came here?" She wondered
"By the window" he said simply.
She looked at the window, she wondered because the distance between the window and the ground outside was very far.
"Did you fly?" She wondered
Lysandre ignored her question.
"Let's us go" he said
"I'm not going anywhere lysandre.
