35 Chapter 33: Manipulation (2/2)
”Beatrice..?” Ivery looked up at her
”It's the same dragon that guards the golden egg...the same dragon that devours anyone and anything, you mustn't get close to it...” Beatrice wanted to protect Ivery with everything she had
”The dragon is loyal to me..” Ivery told Beatrice
”What...?” Beatrice looked at Ivery with confusion in her eyes
”I would never harm my master, you gravely insult my allegiance to my master...human girl!” Eness was offended
”Master..?” Beatrice couldn't believe that...Inanna tamed this ruthless ancient dragon...
But the proof was right in front of her so...she had to believe it..
”Eness, it's time for you to return to the castle” A pair a golden scissors materialized with a glow, in Ivery's hand
Ivery vertically cut open a portal with the scissors and the portal widened.
”You might land somewhere unexpected...I'm still not good with the coordination” Ivery waved her hand
”Master! Wait!” Eness had no time to react before she was forcefully pushed by a powerful force
Eness fell into the portal and it sealed close.
The golden scissors in Ivery's hand burst into hundreds of golden particles.
”Inanna! How did you tame the crystal blue dragon in the Dungeon Of Hell!?” Beatrice wanted answers
”Well....” Ivery didn't feel like explaining it but since Beatrice wanted to know..
..
Luther carefully watched with a smile as everything unfolded, he allowed Ivery to handle that situation on her own...he finally realized he had to let her deal with some of her problems on her own, or she'll never reach her full potential..and he loved seeing her display her strength..
....
Ivery managed to leave the cafeteria without Luther noticing...or maybe he noticed and is watching what she's seeing through her eyes..she didn't know..
Ivery had to go to the bathroom and she told Beatrice that she didn't have to come with her...
If Beatrice came with her, Ivery would've felt like she was being babysat and was being walked to the bathroom like a child that isn't potty trained or a child that's afraid of being alone.
As Ivery walked down the vacant hallways, she felt a cold chill sweep across her skin...
Ivery felt uneasy...
She quickly turned around and swiftly jumped several feet back...
....
...
..
”Such fast reflexes....” A voice said
”Who are you?” Ivery asked
”The one you all threw away!” A girl walked forward into the light
”Xia?” Ivery recognized her face as Xia but her appearance was drastically changed...from her eyes to her hair color
And the black pentagram mark on her forehead was ominously suspicious..
”Correct!” Xia cackled
”What...happened to you?” Ivery knew this wasn't the original Xia...something was definitely dark and evil within her
”What happened to me!? What happened to me!?” Xia's black colored eyes bulged out of her sockets and her face twisted in anger
”You happened to me! You stole everything that was once mine! So...now you have to pay...” Xia's lips curled into an evil smile, her hands gathered a purple mist
”Your little friend you helped that day...I wonder what she'd look like with her eyes gouged and her tongue ripped out, I desperately want to hear her screams” Xia's black eyes had a red glint in them, her expression warped with sadism and excitement
”She has nothing to do with this!” Ivery's eyes glowed
”Do I care!? Should I care!? She'll suffer just as I did...or maybe even worse...unless you do exactly what I ask” Xia laughed as she played with the purple mist in her palms
”What do you want me to do...?” Ivery gritted her teeth
”Renounce your engagement to Luther and your title as the Crown princess, and go back to the Hollow's Castle where you rightfully belong!” Xia shouted
”Unless you want poor Beatrice to suffer a fate worse than death...” Xia twirled the purple mist around
”If I do this...you can't touch Beatrice at all...if you do, I'll make you wish you stayed in that cell” Ivery balled her hands in fists, her red eyes seeming like they were on fire...
She wanted to get rid of her...but Ivery felt like if she attacked Xia...something would go awry...
”Nothing will happen to your friend as long as you do as I say...” Xia smirked
”....” Ivery turned around and walked away
Ivery had to talk to Luther...she didn't want to hurt him nor did she want to leave him...but she wasn't going to put Beatrice in harm's way...nor let her suffer...but she also wasn't going to let Xia get her way so easily...she needed a plan..
This wasn't going to be the ending of everything...she was going to make sure of that.
