Chapter 26: Do I look almight?
1064 Words
I was horrified when I saw Farrah in front of me. Her style and aura she brings was the same from Farrah that I knew.
She smirked and looked at me. "I see, you are alive."
"Mariella," Lazarus hissed. "This is Mariella and Meriel. The princess of this Kingdom."
Mariella? Oh god, she is a princess!? That means she is a vampire? What a waste. I wanted to do something about Farrah's ancestors so she cannot exist anymore in my timeline.
I thought Farrah was really my friend. But looking back, Farrah didn't help me at all to grow. Not that I blame her for not reaching my dream...
But if only, if someone supported me, maybe I can have things I didn't know I can have. Maybe if I reached my dreams, I didn't have to kill myself and travel through someone's body... or time.
My forehead knotted in the random realization.
What if... I am really Genevierre!? A princess?
I always thought that what happened here is my soul traveled to a body. But what if I traveled through time and this is my life before!? This is my face, my name... This is all me but in different timeline.
"Are you okay?" Lazarus come to me. "You are spacing out. I said, let's go."
The two princess just chuckled and look at me from head to toe.
"Is she even okay? Maybe Princess Genevierre have hit her head hard. I heard she is crazy," Meriel insulted me bluntly.
Mariella—the one who is with Farrah's face chuckled. She didn't tell anything but I really feel insulted the way she looks at me.
I can sense that until here, she will make my life hard. I was planning to cut off their ancestors but here she is—a princess! How can I stop them from spreading their genes?
"Stop it. She is the princess of Kingdom Amadeo so respect her. Princess Genevierre is quite surprised with the crowd because this is the first time she get out from the castle..." Lazarus told the mean princess.
My eyebrows shot up because he sounded like he really did care to me. Lazarus just look back and glared. I chuckled.
You're suspicious, Lazarus! Do you like me now? I wanted to tease him that.
I looked back at the princess and they obviously didn't like how Lazarus and I exchange glances because they are glaring at me.
These girls are really after Lazarus, huh?
"Let's go upstairs. Let's greet the king," Lazarus break the tension between us. "Mariella, please lead the way."
Mariella obliged in silence and lead us upstairs. We are all in silence until we reach the end of a long hallway to second floor.
Mariella glared at me. "Look, my father doesn't want to see you. You know why–"
"I said stop bullying my princess," Lazarus hissed in annoyance. "Why are you doing this to her? I told you two too respect her—"
Mariella–this Farrah just laughed and rolled her eyes. "Do you hear yourself, Lazarus? Why would we respect someone who doesn't have any respect to life? You should've known better why do we feel this to her. Royalties are vampires. We are immortals but we should have some respect to life in order to set an example to our people!" She hissed.
Lazarus gritted his teeth and was about to answer–but I held his arms. Sadly, Marriela makes sense. She is correct and I don't want to make a scene here so I should just let things be.
"Lazarus, it's okay. Don't talk back..."
His eyebrows met and glared at the two princess.
"Then be a princess who knows how to show respect to the other one. Set an example to your people and don't be rude to her." Lazarus said before looking at me. "Stay here and wait for me. If these two try something funny or will tell you something–don't listen to them and tell me. Okay?"
I nodded my head in confusion. Why does he sounded like he cares for me? Is it because of our agreement? Or the people around us?
But more importantly, why the hell my heart is beating so fast again? Oh no, this is not good!
"What did you do to the prince?" Mariella asked me the moment Lazarus entered the room to meet the king.
"What did I do?"
Meriel took a step towards me, squinting her eyes.
"Did you do something? Magic?"
Mariella laughed. "She's a human, sister. Genevierre can't do magic. She must've someone who did the work for her to have the prince."
"Excuse me, what are you talking about?" I asked the two of them. They are talking as if I am not in front of them!
They are also implying that I cast a magic or spell towards Lazarus!
"You even called him in his first name. I will tell him that you did something to make him act like a dog–"
"Do I act like a dog now?"
Lazarus pulled my waist into him. That was... fast! The royalties is known for long conversations! Why did he back so fast?
"Prince!" Mariella was surprised. "Did you greet the king already?"
"The king is not here. He is downstairs. Your relatives are here," Lazarus explained. "I said stop telling her bullshits. She didn't do anything to have me. She is just a mere human who is now, important to me..."
Oh god, is this a show?
"So if you will excuse us, princess. I need to find the king—"
"Why do you even need to find the king if you don't want to marry me?" Mariella asked in annoyance. "I thought you hate that girl? You said for yourself that you will marry me instead of her! What is this?!"
My eyes widened in disbelief. Wow, I cannot believe you, Farrah. Up until here, you really know how to hinder something!
"I didn't say I want to marry you. I said, marrying you is favorable–but as you can see, I choose Genevierre so stop."
We walk out after that. I am still confused for what happened and confronted Lazarus while we are both walking downstairs.
"Why are you acting weird?"
"Do I sound righteous and almighty?" He chuckled.
