31 Chapter 29: Meet The Royal Grandparents (1/2)
[Violence] [Slight blood warning]
Ivery opened her eyes, she realized she was laying on Luther's leg.
”Sorry..I fell asleep again” Ivery rubbed her eyes, she looked up at Luther and apologized
”It's fine, you've been sleeping a lot ever since you were affected by the flower of youth” Luther delicately smiled

”A side effect?” Ivery asked
”Probably, there isn't much known about the effects other than it altering your age” Luther said
Ivery looked around and noticed it was midnight and the lights in Luther's room was turned on.
”I was only supposed to stay here for last night..” Ivery felt as if she overstayed her welcome
”Don't worry, think of the Fresia castle as your second home, you can stay as long as you want” Luther poked her forehead
”Really?” Ivery looked up at him with a tint of blush set in her cheeks
”Really” He nodded with a wide smile
Ivery didn't say anything further and abruptly wrapped her arms around him and squeezed him in a tight hug.
He accepted her hug and rubbed her head.
.....
After staying at the castle of Fresia for 2 days, a carriage sent by the Lilith Emperor, waited for Ivery outside of the Fresia castle
Ivery was dressed in a small puffed, purple floral dress by Caribella herself. Caribella added unnecessary things to her outfit...she gave Ivery a purple umbrella that was decorated with real preserved flowers, Caribella said that it was 'to protect her skin from the harsh sun'.
She put a purple floral bonnet on Ivery's head and gave Ivery white silk gloves to put on her hands to 'protect her from any scratches and any unforeseen injuries'. Underneath the bonnet, Ivery had a big purple bow attached to the back of her hair.
And she finished the outfit with a set of white glossy shoes.
Ivery felt hot in the outfit but didn't oppose the Empress's choices.
Ivery hugged Luther goodbye before she decided to aboard her carriage. He told her that he'd be visiting her later...
Her carriage took off and set forward to the Lilith castle.
....
Ivery's carriage finally arrived at the Lilith castle, the door opened and the coachman extended his hand out to help her out.
Ivery felt weird taking another man's hand that wasn't Luther's...she didn't fully know why she felt that way.
She made her way into the castle and the guards looked at her...confused as to who she could be..
They stopped her from proceeding to walk any further.
”Who are you?” The guard asked
”Princess Inanna,” Ivery said, not understanding why she was being stopped like this
”Princess Inanna? Are you confused little girl? Princess Inanna is 17 years of age” The other guard didn't believe her, even though she did resemble the Emperor
”An incident happened when I ventured into the Forest of Everlight, so I'm currently like this for the time being...is there a problem?” Ivery crossed her arms and asked the guards
”Sure you did, what noble family are you from?” The guard asked
”I'm from this family, do I have to force my way in my own castle?” Ivery's eyes flickered with a golden glow
”Force your way in? Try your best” The guards laughed
”I haven't used this in a while..” Ivery cleared her throat
”...?” The guards looked at her with a smirk, what could a little girl be capable of? Against the Lilith Kingdom guards? She must be dreaming too much.
”Kneel” Ivery's voice sounded out
”What!?” The two guards were forced on their knees by an oppressing force
”Now, as for a punishment” Ivery's red eyes burned with a furious golden glow, she smiled and hit one of the guards in the abdomen with her umbrella
The guard flew back from the forceful hit and slid across the floor.
”Oops, it seems I hit him too hard” Ivery scratched her head
”H-H-How...?” The other guard looked at Ivery in horror....how can a little girl be so strong?
”After..training and being with Luther so much....I guess he's been a bit of a bad influence on me” Ivery turned her umbrella around and hit the second guard in the chest with the handle of it
The guard coughed as the blow cracked a rib. He slid back 10 feet across the floor.
”Oh...and I'll remember your faces, look forward to being demoted” Ivery waved and walked down the hall
The guards were both left groaning in pain.
...
Ivery arrived at the throne room doors. But again she was stopped by the guards, who crossed their spears and did not allow her entry.
”Who are you?” The guard asked her
”Not this again...” Ivery rolled her eyes
”You both must be new, not to recognize your crown princess” Ivery shook her head in disapproval
”Crown princess?” The guards looked at her and noticed that she did look like the Emperor
”But last time we saw the princess, she was 17 years of age” The guards didn't believe her
”I touched the flower of youth” Ivery blatantly said it, not trying to bother explaining herself again
”The flower of youth....? How could the princess ever come in contact with the flower of youth? It's heavily guarded by the most esteemed guardians of Everlight, even as an infinite attribute holder, the princess could never defeat one of those monsters” The guards chuckled
”That's disrespectful...to underestimate your crown princess” Ivery's eyes narrowed, she now understood how these people really think of her
”She's not here is she?” The guard shrugged
”Really?” Ivery's hands glowed with a golden light
She pointed at both of the guards in front of her.
Two thin golden chains covered with a pink glowing aura shot out of the tips of her fingers and wrapped around the bodies of both of the guards. Their spears clanked on the ground.
They were restrained and unable to break free of the chains, even though the chains were thin...they somehow were heavy. The heavy chains forced them down on their knees.
”W-Who are you?!” The guard yelled out
”I told you already, I'm the crown princess” Ivery felt annoyed, she was being belittled
”Impossible” The guards still weren't taking her word
”Possible, and it is true, but what does it matter to you?” Ivery walked up to one of the guards and placed her hand on his forehead
”I'm not the type of person that wants to be mean to others....but if you keep pushing me to be this way...it'll get ugly for you” Ivery wasted no time smashing his head into the wall behind him
The wall cracked from the impact.
The guard collapsed on the floor and passed out. Blood began trickling from his forehead.
”Be glad you're wearing a helmet, or your skull would've been shattered” Ivery twirled her umbrella around in her hand
”Your turn” Ivery looked at the other guard
”Forgive me! Crown princess!” The guard pleaded
”You know you still don't believe me, stop playing with that farce” Ivery balled her small hand into a fist
”Please! Have mercy!” The guard squeezed his eyes closed
”Okay, let me think about it” Ivery looked up
”Really?” The guard's eyes opened
”No” Ivery landed a direct punch to his nose
The guard fell back and his head hit the wall behind. His nose was broken, and blood ran down from his nostrils.
Ivery looked down at the guards who were rendered unconscious. They had to be put in their place..
She just realized she had to stop being too lenient with people...if she was to be the true crown princess of this kingdom...then she had to act the part....and if she is to be Empress of the Lilith Kingdom and of the Fresia Kingdom, she can't be some pushover...
Even if it came to being disrespected with words...she would not tolerate it any longer....
.....
Ivery opened the doors and walked into the throne room.
She saw that Cassandra and Julian were talking to two people in the middle of the room.
Ivery walked up to them and waited for them to notice her.
