36 Chapter 34: The Plan (1/2)
”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.
....
Ivery walked back into the cafeteria with a frustrated look on her face.
Instead of walking to the table that Beatrice sat at, she walked towards the MVP table.
She walked up the three small steps and looked at Luther.
”What's wrong?” Luther asked, noticing her frustrated eyes
”I need to talk to you about something..” Ivery said
Luther stood up from his chair and pushed it near the table. He walked down the three steps and Ivery followed.
....
Ivery and Luther stood in the empty hallways. Luther was patiently waiting to hear whatever she had to say.
”Xia was here” Ivery told him

”Xia? Isn't she in a prison cell?” Luther raised an eyebrow
”She...had a pentagram mark on her forehead, her eyes....were pitch black and her hair was a different color....for her to be able to escape from her cell and heal her injuries to such a far extent... she's being helped by someone with dark magic..” Ivery was stuck in deep thought
”Then, what did she say to you...?” Luther asked
”She told me to resign from my position as Crown Princess and as your fiance” Ivery replied with a sad look in her eyes
”She indirectly threatened me...that she'd hurt Beatrice if I didn't comply” Ivery's voice cracked
”And you said?” Luther leaned back on the wall and crossed his arms, anticipating her next answer
”I told her I would...as long as she didn't harm Beatrice...” Ivery said
”You'd choose a little friend you made over your country and status as Crown Princess and future Empress of both of our countries? And you'd really choose her over me?” Luther smiled yet with a sad expression, the look in his eyes was chilling
”Then what will you do? Can you really have it both ways?” Luther looked at her
”I obviously can't as long as Xia is around...” Ivery bit her finger in frustration
”So what if....we-!” A light bulb turned on in Ivery's head
.....
When Ivery arrived at the Lilith Castle, she requested an immediate audience with her parents.
...
”What's wrong dear?” Cassandra and Julian walked into her room
”I have a request to make and I hope you both can help me with it” Ivery sat on a chair and sipped her tea as she looked at her parents
...
...
...
Emperor Julian hosted a grand event for all of the nobles and royals in the area the day after.
Everyone leisurely chatted amongst each other and enjoyed the evening..
....
Suddenly the doors burst open.
”F-Father!” A little girl with light blonde hair and ruby red eyes tearfully came rushing into the grandiose room filled with high royals and nobles
She was dressed in a small red dress that puffed out to the ends of her feet. Small red twinkling diamonds connected to a golden chain was attached to her beautiful dress and every single one of them made small clinks as she ran into the room.
Everyone already knew about Princess Inanna's current condition, so everyone instantly recognized her as the Crown Princess.
”Crown Princess Inanna! What is the reason for this blatant display!? Are you trying to embarrass me?!” Julian shouted
”Forgive me! I wish to tell you...something!” Ivery quickly bowed
”Speak!” Julian raised his voice louder
”I've lost all connections to my prowess core....I no longer have access to my infinite energy to be able to use my infinite attribute...!” Tears flowed down Ivery's face as she shouted out to her father
”Then you are useless! Take her back to the Hollow's Castle, it's more fitting for someone as incompetent as her” Julian yelled out to the guards
”Father no! Please!” Ivery cried out
”The engagement between Crown Prince Luther and Crown Princess Inanna is now annulled! Crown Princess Inanna is relieved from her status as Crown Princess and shall return to the Hollow's Castle to await her execution!” Julian loudly announced to everyone in the room
Everyone gasped and whispered to each other.
The guards grab Ivery and she desperately pleads to her father to not send her back.
Ivery spotted Luther as he simply watched on the side, casually drinking wine.
”Luther! Stop them..please!” She pleads to Luther
He looks at her with cold eyes.
”You really think I'd help someone as useless as you?” He replied with a smirk, he slightly moved his glass, swirling around the wine inside
”Pathetic, remove her from my sight, I'm ashamed to ever have been engaged to her....” Luther waved to the guards to proceed to take her away
She shouts his name in tears as she's dragged away...
...
Ivery is soon thrown back in the Hollows Castle, the same dilapidated place she hasn't seen or set foot in years.
She is rudely greeted by the maids,
”It's only been four years and she's already back” One of the maids snickered
”Once a useless brat, always a useless brat” The other maid laughed with the other maid
”That makes her child 31...great...another brat to look after” A maid with dark orange-colored hair rocked in a rocking chair as she read a book, not looking at Ivery once
Ivery ignored the disgusting maids and rushed upstairs to her old room.
She turned the door handle and it came right off in her hand....the door creaked as she pushed it inwards, she looked around the room and it was in the same exact state it was in since she left, purely disgusting.
She touched the decaying wall and the whole room transformed into a heavily polished and well-kept room.
Ivery put the door handle on a nearby table and sat down on the bed
Her hands glowed and she quickly summoned Loki.
”So...we're back here again” Loki sighed
