5 Chapter 5: Living With The Ruthless Prince? 2 (2/2)
Ivery's hands flared with a golden pink glow and as she lifted her hands up, the hem of Xia's light blue dress caught on fire, the golden pink flames traveled up her dress slowly. Xia screamed trying to pat the fire down, but it was no use no matter how hard she tried to put out of the fire it still remained. Xia ran over to a vase filled with flowers, she grabbed the vase and poured it over her dress. The water seemed to have fueled the flames power and her dress was being eaten away by the fire.
Ivery put her hands down and in an instant the flames burning her dress disappeared. The damage to her dress was evidence that she wasn't imagining anything. Her eyes furiously looked at Ivery.
”Kneel” Ivery's voice sounded out and suddenly Xia's legs were beyond her control and she dropped to her knees
”What is this!? What did you do!?” Xia didn't know what this girl just did but she couldn't move her legs no matter how hard she tried to move them
”I believe I was told that this was called, divine commandment” Ivery's red eyes flashed with a golden glow
”You bitch!” Xia held her hands up and green balls of mist shot out of her palms and headed towards Ivery
”Useless” Ivery held up her hands and a golden pink shield appeared in front of her
The green mist dissipated as soon as it hit the shield. Xia continuously shot her poisonous mist at Ivery's shield, Xia's rage increased ten folds when she saw Ivery sit down on a chair and looked very amused at Xia who was struggling to get her poison through Ivery's shield. Ivery's face showing the utmost haughtiness, and zero fear. It was as if she saw Xia as someone below her, someone she could easily crush with no effort.
”What's going on in here?!” A deep voice yelled behind them
Ivery turned around and saw an incredibly handsome man with long hair as black as the night sky, his dark purple eyes looking uncannily identical to Luther's. Ivery then understood who this man was...he's the Emperor of Fresia! And Luther's father!
Ivery's eyes then looked at the man and woman behind the Emperor of Fresia. Ivery's heart was frozen solid and her eyes widened at the sight before her eyes. A undeniably handsome man with long blonde hair, his eyes red as a demons, she recognized this man instantly as Inanna's father! And the beautiful woman beside him was no other than the beautiful Empress Cassandra.
”Princess Xia?! What are you doing?!” The Emperor of Fresia yelled out
”This vixen dared to seduce Luther! I'm trying to teach her a lesson!” Xia didn't stop attacking and continued to shoot her balls of green mist as Ivery's unfaltering shield
After sensing an unknown powerful force in Luther's room all three of them rushed up to see what the problem was.
Cassandra looked at Ivery with tears in her eyes. Cassandra hastily walked over to Ivery and tightly held Ivery in a warm embrace. Ivery didn't understand what was happening at the moment, was this the same Empress that cold heartedly sent her daughter to the Hollow's Castle and watched Inanna burn at the stake?
Cassandra pressed her forehead against Ivery's and sensed that this girl was definitely her biological daughter. The Empress looked up at Princess Xia who was still attacking Ivery's shield. Cassandra pointed her finger at Princess Xia and a thin golden string shot straight at Princess Xia. The string tightly wrapped around Xia's upper body, confining her arms and hands in the unbreakable string.
Cassandra put her hands on Ivery's that were still holding up her shield. Cassandra lowered Ivery's hands and as she did, the golden pink shield faded away as if it was never there. She held Ivery's hand in her palm and flipped her hand over, she put two fingers on Ivery's wrist and detected a powerful prowess that seemed like it was endless but still growing and getting stronger each second.
”So it's true...” Cassandra pulled Ivery in for another hug
”I'm sorry, my child, could you forgive your mother for sending you to that damned place?” Cassandra cried, her ocean blue eyes overflowing with tears
Why would Ivery deny the Empress, she's not stupid. If it'll help her succeed in her goal then she'll accept it by all means. Ivery looked at the Empress, her face not full of disgust or hatred this time, it was just full of sorrow and regret. Ivery nodded and this made Cassandra cry even more.
”If this mother of yours could do it all over again, I would've raised you myself” Cassandra hugged Ivery tighter
”That girl is your daughter?” The Emperor of Fresia asked Julian
”Yes” Julian replied
”Julian, how come I've never heard that you had another daughter?” The Emperor of Fresia smirked and nudged Julian's arm
”She was mistakenly put in the Hollow's Castle” Julian pushed the Emperor of Fresia away
”She's a child of the Hollow's Castle?” The Emperor of Fresia stroked his chin
”She was” Julian looked at the Emperor of Fresia
”Why was she taken out?” The Emperor of Fresia asked
”Erdel, stop asking so many questions” Julian sighed
”Tell me” Erdel smiled
”She's the holder of the Infinite attribute, Golden Infinity, like your son over there” Julian looked at Crown Prince Luther who was sitting down on a chair, nonchalantly watching everything unfold before his eyes
”She's the second infinite attribute holder?” Erdel looked at Ivery who was in Empress Cassandra's arms
”Yes” Julian nodded
”What are you going to do with her now?” Erdel looked at Julian
”Infinite attribute's was said by the saintess to be given by the Gods, they're only bestowed upon people that the gods take a unique liking to, since this girl has a God's favor she'll become the crown princess of the Lilith Kingdom” Julian looked at Ivery
”Wait, you can do that? Regardless of her prowess and the fact that she attracted the attention of a god, she's still a female, a woman can't succeed the throne and you already have Crown Prince Liam” Erdel was in disbelief
”So what? When she masters her infinite abilities, no one would dare defy her right to the throne, she'll get the throne by default if something unfortunate happens to Liam” Julian said
”If you say so, I won't object” Erdel sighed and then he suddenly realized something
”Since the other daughters of Cassandra were executed because they had no magical prowess, wouldn't that make that girl the only daughter of Cassandra?” Erdel asked
”She's always wanted a daughter, but since every girl that was born from Cassandra was born without any magical prowess and they were sent to the Hollow's Castle waiting for execution, she became depressed, I never saw it as a problem because she gave birth to Liam and Carviel, since Princesses are usually married off when they become of age and Princes manage the country and the castle, I couldn't understand why she was upset” Julian explained to Erdel
”I see...” Erdel nodded his head
”I've been wondering for awhile but why did you think Princess Xia was a good match for Luther?” Erdel honestly never thought Princess Xia was a good match for Luther, her magic was decent but if compared with Luther, her powers weren't even a fragment of Luther's
”She was the only Princess that was stronger than the rest” Julian crossed his arms
”Do you think that girl could marry Luther instead? The only two infinite attribute holders in the world, married to each other, that type of marriage could do more than just make peace with both of our countries” Erdel's eyes lit up as he imagined Ivery and Luther as a power couple
”It can be arranged...but first I want to have her become an official Princess of the Lilith Kingdom, people will still look down upon the arrangement if she has no title and is only known as a child from the Hollow's Castle” Julian full heartedly approved of Erdel's idea
”This is a very good day...” Erdel smiled
