Chapter 76
2072 Words
Ester POV.
I was eating when I felt something has pointed at me. I look at my back and I saw two guys.
The one is wearing a butler uniform and the other on is like what nobles wear or royal family.
They hide in the bush when I look at them.
I ignore it but I will not lower my guard, they could be an assassin that is here to take Dalia’s life.
“What’s wrong, West?” she asked me and tilted her head.
“Nothing’s wrong. Should we continue?”
She nodded.
We talked a lot of things like about her education, her professors that look down at her, her people and supporters, ghost stories in the Castle and the story of the Marsh Ao Kingdom.
I learn a lot of things about her but never her past life cause she don’t want to remember it.
If possible, she wish that she didn’t retain her past memory.
I don’t want her to push something that she doesn’t want to say so we moved to a different topic.
We decided to move to another place, we moved to her invention room and there was different kind of what she made in her life. And, most of them are invention that is inspired in Earth.
I asked her if she invented a phone, she told me that phone already existed in this world but only in Aurelius Kingdom. The invention of the phone here is different in the Earth. Here, they use magic to make wifi and send messages.
Dalia have it, but she only used it when she was called by someone in Aurelius Kingdom.
The Phone here is still boring and still don’t have application, media, and phone features, only messages and call can be done in this Phone.
Dalia is still finding out what is missing and when she found it, she’ll introduce it to Marsh Ao Kingdom and about her other inventions… she is still looking for the right time.
Next, she let me see her red room.
The pictures that we took from Lucios are here.
We simp over the pictures, we fantasize what we are seeing and when we realize that it took us longer her in the Red room we decide to leave. Of course, she gave me a souvenir.
She told me we are going to visit her favorite place.
Her favorite place is a bench inside the greenhouse, she told me.
What could be possible special of this place that she called it favorite?
We headed to the greenhouse, we went inside and find the bench that we are looking for but in our surprised, that someone is already there.
“What are you doing here, you know that is my place.” Dalia became strict and grumpy.
“Dalia, chill. They are having their time, let’s come back again.” She’s becoming angrier and angrier.
“No…that is my place and he stole it.”
“I’m sorry, sister. Is just that Mio here, is tired of strolling around the Castle and we came here to rest. We are going now.”
W-wait… we disturb their time, we should be the one to apologizes.
“Please stay.” I can’t let them just leave. They came here to rest so let them rest besides, the bench is good for four people anyway.
“West!”
“Dalia, you should be good to your brother.”
It’s not good if you are not in good terms with your siblings.
I let Dalia sits on the right side and left side is her brother and between them is me and the girl that is with Dalia’s brother.
The awkwardness is soaring in the air.
“What is your name?” I started. I asked Dalia’s brother.
“I am Dyster,” he introduced like a gentleman, “and, this is Mio.” I waved my hand.
“I am West, Nice to meet you.”
After that, there this awkwardness again.
“Umm…”
“West, you don’t need to try to get close to them.”
Ah? I’ve been found out.
“What is the witch doing here?”
Witch? Does she mean me???
“Sister, don’t say that. Mio is not a witch.”
Umm…I am the Witch here, actually. Hehe.
“What do you call someone who bewitched a prince?”
“Sister, she didn’t bewitch me! Why do you always believe others than your own brother?”
Haha. They are arguing…why did I put myself between again?
“Because you are a fool! You don’t know how to differentiate a person.”
Umm, you don’t know that I am Witch, is that means that you are a hypocrite?
I look at Mio and she was embarrassed and is looking down.
This must be hard for her.
“I’m not a fool! I know who to love and to know if she is worth loving for and I see it in Mio.”
“You are bewitch by that servant girl!”
That’s harsh…loving a servant is not wrong you know. Why do love also have a class?
“Mio will be executed tomorrow.”
My jaw dropped.
“Dalia!”
“Sister!”
“Shut up, West. Don’t interfere here.”
Mio sobbed and Dyster hugged her.
My eyes widen, did she told me to shut up. Who is she? My mother?
“You can’t execute a person just because she loves your brother.” I convince her.
“She bewitch my brother!”
“How can you be so sure about that?” she didn’t comment means that she doesn’t have a prove.
“Are you also bewitch by her, West?”
What the? What’s wrong with her head?
“Are you kidding me, Dalia?”
I thought she doesn’t care about her brother then why is she interfering her brother’s love life.
“Dyster, can you leave us alone? I am going to talk with your sister.”
“That’s what should we have done in the first place.”
They left and Dalia was about to follow them.
She’s being a prick.
“Dalia, what’s up with your attitude?”
“West, I told you not to interfere. You don’t know anything about the royal family.”
Wow... I know about how the royal family’s love life works and I know when they will give a right and wrong decision.
Dalia executing Mio could lead her to undress her from her title. She doesn’t have the proof that the girl is a witch and her brother got bewitch.
Even though, that she is a princess…this could be use as a weapon for her enemies.
“West, I think you should leave now. I will fetch a carriage for you.”
I want to laughed right now.
“Hah! No thanks, I don’t need your help.”
I left Dalia there in the greenhouse. I look for a branch to fly with and use invisible magic so no one can see or else I will be mistaken as a witch too and get executed.
I should be careful when I am around with Dalia, she shouldn’t know that I am also a witch.
I left the Castle and went home to Lucios’s house.
I look for a refrigerator.
“West, you’re home? How’s your trip in the Castle?” Lucios appeared behind me.
I look for a food and I saw a bread. I ate it and I can’t taste anything.
I look for another food and eat it. Again, I can’t taste anything.
Again, I can’t still taste.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Why I can’t taste anything?!
“West, are you okay? What’s happening? Are you stressed eating?” Lucios asked and wioe the pieces of food in the side if my mouth.
“I can’t taste anything…” I mumbled.
“What?”
“I can’t taste anything, Lucios!” I cried.
“What’s happening here?” Virgil appeared.
Lucios is trying to comfort me. He patted my back and pet my hair.
“Her taste bud is not working.” Lucios answered.
“You don’y need food, why are you being dramatic?” Virgil went back to his room.
“Don’t worry, West. Your taste buds will work again, just be patient.
I hope it does come back.
I discovered that my taste bud is not working when I am in the Castle, that time I ate with Dalia I can’t taste the food but I can smelled it.
I calmed down.
“Are you okay, now?”
I nodded.
“Where is Moon?” I asked after noticing that I didn’t see Moon.
“He is out, taking a walik with his cat.”
That’s good that he cannot see me like this.
I went to the room that Lucios assigned to me.
My taste bud, it brought me into thinking why it is not functioning. My tongue didn’t got burned though.
What the hell happened?
Next morning…
“Moon and Virgil, be careful out there.”
They are now going to leave to head to Primus.
“I’ll come back here in 6 days.”
“Don’t forget about Rom and Rem, and send my regards to everyone.”
“I will!”
“Now, Go!” They left and waved my hand at them.
“We should get inside.” I told Lucios.
“What a witch will be burned today?!” My ear caught a gossip.
“It was said that the witch bewitched the Prince!”
“How scary!”
I got face-palmed, Dalia…
“Where are you going, West?”
“I’m going somewhere, don’t wait for me.” I throttle, I have to go, I can’t be late. I can’t be late or else Dalia will regret this all her life.
I asked where the execution will be held and the told me that it will be in center of the private sector and they’ll held it today.
In the private sector? Why there?
Dalia…are you really serious that you will get rid of her?
I can’t get in the Private sector but I can use magic to get in though.
I use my invisible magic and pass through the gate without worries.
I can see them from afar and they are setting it up to fire.
“How much did you bet?”
“I vote for 6 minutes.”
“I vot e for 3 minutes.”
I heard about betting?
Did they did betting?
How cruel! The girl is going to die and all they did is bet?
The private sector is worst than the lower class sector.
Now, I have to save Mio.
I have to disguise myself or else they might recognized me.
I change into a nun outfit and put a mask in my mouth.
They started to set up the fire.
I ran and ran.
They set the wood on fire and in speed and lack of time. I jumped and luckily, I landed beside Mio.
I untied her and the people are throwing rocks at me.
“Moved!”
“Get out of there!”
“ You shouldn’t help a witch!”
Are they really hate the Witch that much that they set them to fire?
“Don’t worry, I’ll set you free.”
I Assured her.
“Anghel,” Is she talking about me? Did she called me angel?
“Please go, I can’t let my savior suffer too.”
Savior? I haven’t save her yet but she’s calling me a savior.
“Done!”
The rope that is tied in her hand is loose, now let’s get out of here. I use float magic and invisible so that they cannot see is where we are going.
We float and went to the Lucios’s home. We hide there until they had enough looking for Mio.
“West, what have you done this time?”
“Lucios? You’re home! Hehe.”
“Who did you brought here, West?”
“She’s nothing special, hehe.”
Lucios raised his brow.
“She just someone who got blame into something?”
“And, this something were?” ugh.. he keeps asking questions.
“Dalia suspected her as a witch.” His eyes widen.
“If she got punished because of Dalia, then you brought something in the house that is dangerous.”
