A Wizard's Romance

As soon he saw her he dragged her to a shady corner.

"Today you just keep your mouth shut and act like a shy girl and only nod your head when I ask you, okay, Uhm, and make sure to act like we are close acquaintances Rune tod Resel in a hushed voice.

Resel was exasperated and didn"t grasp what he was saying but nonetheless she nodded.

Rune patted her head and signaled her to go back. Resel mindlessly went back and was deep in her thoughts about the Rune plan.

She was wondering "What type of mighty plan would work on his illiberal father"

She was cleaning the shelves when she heard her father calling her.

Resel darling, can you come here for a moment, her father asked her.

Yes, father, she came close to her father and bowed her head in respect.

Do you know him?Mr Rubin pointed toward a man.

Resel knew who the man was and thus nodded her head in acknowledgment.

Oh my so know him. Well he told me that he observed you here for more than a week and is impressed by your knowledge and hard work and it"s such a coincidence that he needs your help so he asked me whether you can accompany him for a month to help him with his research,after all you yourself are very educated and intelligent.

Well, to be honest, i don"t want you to leave me but this man is from the Head council research department and also has the authority to ask cooperation from any citizen from the whole empire so I can"t decline.I also hope that you can be helpful to the empire in any way so go ahead and pack your bags you will be leaving with him in the evening, today. Hurry up, Mr. Rubin ordered to Resel.

Resel was shocked beyond the limit.She knew very well about her father"s personality and to even think that he will send her out of this library was like a dream but now here he was sending her with a strange man and who knows for what purpose. She looked toward Rune in amazement and gave him 3 claps in her mind.

She soon composed herself and replied in an even tone "but father how can i be of any help to this mister?"

Nonsense you are so intelligent and all the knowledge that has been imparted to you would be gone in the drain if you won"t help someone, Shooo now goes pack your bags, with that Mr. Rubin chased away Resel.

Mister, she is my only daughter and I hope she will be safe with you, Mr. Rubin said earnestly and the worry was evident in his eyes.

Rune knew that there was something more about Resel that met the eye but it was yet to be figured out.

Soon the evening came and it was time for Mr Rubib to bid goodbye to his beloved daughter. A simple but strong carriage and Rune was already waiting for them.Mr Rubin came holding luggage of Resel and placed it inside the carriage. Resel too came soon.

Father, I will e back soon, Resel said with teared eyes. It was not acting , she was truly sad as it was the first time she was leaving his side.

Silly girl, no need to cry .Just help this mister and come back to your father as soon as you can.Okay,Mr Rubin said to her while concealing his sadness.His hands which were now resting behind is back was tightly clenched in a fist.If he can then he would never allow someone to take his daughter away from him. Alas his little bird has grown up and as much as he hates it he had to admit that she needs to fend for herself thus he steeled his heart .

Resel was the first one to enter inside the carriage while Rune entered inside following the cue.The carriage left in an instant but Mr. Rubin stood there for a long time even when the carriage disappeared.

Sigh! Winds are changing there course in Reinstle empire, Mr Rubin muttered under his breath.
