A Sorceress Struggle

Chapter 17: You cannot win against me, princess!

Sitting on the opposite chair of the princess, praised by other noble ladies for her great talent in embroidery, Satiana simply smiled back hiding her true feelings deep inside of her.

The gall of you people… one second you’re insulting and mocking me and the other you’re trying to gain my favor? Should just curse them? It wouldn’t hurt much if I casted a little nightmare curse on them right?

It would be much easier to manipulate them if their minds are exhausted anyway… I should really consider it as an option, I am talking seriously right here hohoho!

Anyways, I need to do what I came here for, other than reserving my honor in the high society circle, I came here for another reason… and that is…

I said with my acting skills on full power!

She didn’t expect me to ask such a question, so when she replied she was intrigued but at the same time…

She didn’t stop at that and continued… will she… let’s push it a bit harder and make her spit it

she said with a gentle smile on her face, but I didn’t stop there and continued

This is as far as I can go… either she takes the bait, or it’s a complete failure…

Now, will you stay silent and let me lecture you for your health or are you going to say what I want you to say…

She didn’t bite it… damn it… think, think of a way to make her say it… I need to confirm it!

If I keep pushing it things will not go on my favor… what should I do?

Did she just willingly said that? If I knew she would be boasting about it, I wouldn’t have stressed about it… I succeeded easily!

the daughter of a marquise said to the princess.

She then gave a display of her power s she controlled and accelerated the growth of flowers surrounding us, the flowers reached to us.

They praised and complimented her ability, so this is the bloom? Let’s analyze it with my [Evil Eyes of Clairvoyance]

This magic is similar to spell casting… it acts like an enchantment in a kind but the reason why I say its mere spell casting is because it requires a magic circle.

This power is nothing to be wary off… it’s full of flaws if you know where to look

Wow, look at her face provoking me like that. Yo! You are being way to pitiful you know? Does she take for a child easily bullied or what?

I’ll be the adult and I won’t take you lame remarks to hearth, come on darling try all you want, words aren’t going to piss me off!

She didn’t like my reply, is she going to lower her mask down now and stop acting?

Suddenly one of the roses approached me and got wrapped around my arm, the thorns entangled around my wrist tore my flesh and blood started spilling

Lost control? My ass, I bet she is doing it on purpose!

And to add it to the soup, the thorns started gridding and tightening around my wrist even more than before… so she’s playing it like this? Fine by me… I’ll show you the fear of messing around with the wrong b***h!

I gathered my mana discreetly and wrote an enchantment glyph with blood on my palm, you want to mess with this sorceress? Fine… let’s get you a decent punishment!

With my hand, a glyph drawn on my palm using my own blood, I reached to the veins of the flower bed entangled around my wounded arm and cast my spell.

The princess smirked secretly, thinking that she had the upper hand, wearing a mask of lies hiding her true feeling.

{Priscilla’s point of view}

“Teaching this b***h a lesson… finally, I’ll make her know her place! All that is good about her is her family name and her looks… how dare she try to ridicule me… I scratch that arm till my thorns rip her flesh to the bone! Even if I killed her daddy would just pardon me, it’s an accident after all! Not even her family would care anyway… If I ruin her and set my brother free from this b***h… bleed and groan all you want… I’ll go for the face now! Yes… even if I kill her, everyone will pardon me because I am the most gentle and kind princess, the lovely Priscilla!”

With such thoughts she called forth her powers, tightening her grip around Satiana’s bleeding arm.

But instead of crying and screaming, Satiana was rather… strangely calm. She reached for the veins wrapped around her wrist… and at that moment… I felt a chill running down my spine.

What is this? This feeling, this uneasiness… something is wrong…

Suddenly, a sharp pain griped my heart tightly, I groaned as I bend down holding my chest barely even able to breathe…

What is this?! Why is this happening to me? I didn’t use too much mana though… why is it backfiring on me?!

Calm down… I need to calm down. I need to trace the mana back… circulate it and calm it… come on

Come on! Why isn’t it working?! Why is this happening to me?!

Her eyes became blurry, and she quickly blacked out as she watched the entirety of the glass house, once filled with flowers of all colors and life brimming inside… wither away.

The last thing she saw was a smirk on the face of black haired woman with glistering Crimson eyes as she stared at her as if the abyss was staring back at her

{Satiana’s Point of view}

Haha, as I said, it was a child’s game! You can never win against me, princess!

How much I enjoy when I scare the pest away… this hypocrite of a princess must have learned her lesson by now.

That enchantment was no normal enchantment little Priscilla, that was one of my strongest and most complicated and lethal spells.

A mix between enchant and corruption and dark affinities! Can only be activated trough direct contact with the target. Using my blood as a stimulant; I corrupted her mana pool with my dark mana which made her mana go rampage and cause a strong backlash on her body

Basically I sent a negative juice inside her positive battery which resulted on a circuit shock!

How did I do this? Well I used the plants that she is controlling as a medium. When I said her power is full of flaws I really meant it!

As for why the plants withered away was because of the little shock wave of Corrosion affinity.

I doubt that anything can grow here anymore, serves you right… b***h!

I acted like a lady in panic as I ran towards the princess and secretly lifted the spell I casted on her cleansing her from my energy and discretely stealing a part of her power pretending to be worried about her safety.

This farce kept on going when they took me and the princess to be treated by the court mages and priests.

The priest was using divine powers to heal me as he was praying… so this is holy power? Too flashy!

Lukretus came rushing in the room to check on little sister.

What a disgusting public display of family affection… Yuk!

They asked what happened and then turned to get the answer from me

Lukretus rushed towards me as he pointed a sword as me, the pointy edge of the sharp blade was only a few millimeters away from my neck…

I have spent a lifetime as a lawyer; do you think I am easy to trample on?

He glared at unsatisfied as he seethed his sword back.

These words closed his mouth as I played the role of the tough victim, does he really think he can silence me that easily?

Then bring it on Blondie… we will see where this charade goes!a
