43 Chapter 41: Consequences (2/2)
The shock jolted through her entire body like electricity. The maid was suddenly sent flying back down the hallway.
The boy's eyes stretched as he saw the maid that flew straight past him…
”Doesn't feel so great being slapped…now does it?” Ivery cracked her knuckles
The maid crashed into the far distant wall, instantly rendered unconscious.
The decaying wall started to crumble from the strong impact.
…
”Y-You…” The boy backed up in fear
”These maids need a taste of their own treatment…even if it's amplified by ten times…” Ivery smirked
”That slap was equivalent to all of the children she slapped.” Ivery said
”H-H-How…?” The boy stuttered, at a lost for words
”I um…physically trained…” Ivery didn't know how to explain this…after she told him her prowess core was broken
”…..” The boy stared at her
”You could at least thank me…” Ivery felt like she did something unwanted
”Thank….you? Why would I thank you when you only did this for your own benefit?” The boy
”My own benefit? What makes you believe that I did it for my own benefit? It's the least I can do for my own relatives that are being treated like slaves..” Ivery didn't understand his incredible distrust of her
”You have a reason for everything and you know it.….but did you ever stop to think about whether or not I want to even be related to someone like you….” The boy said
”I could've just walked straight past you, as if I didn't see anything and minded my own business and did nothing as she slapped you, but I didn't…what do you even think that I could possibly gain from all of this?” Ivery asked
”Then you should've minded your own business! I didn't ask for your help!” He turned away from her and shouted
”You..” Ivery didn't know what else she could do…
”Just do what you came here to do and leave….this isn't a place for a royal like you..” The boy started to walk away
”I used to live here before…you know..” Ivery said
”What?” He stopped walking and turned around
”Four years ago…I used to live here…in the Hollow's castle..” Ivery told him
”You're lying!” The boy didn't believe a single word she said
”I'm not telling you any lies, I was born with little to no detectable magic prowess, so right after I was born….I was sent to live here like the rest of you.” Ivery earnestly looked at him
”Then how did you happen live in the royal castle?” He suspiciously asked
”Prince Luther…helped me.” She said

”Prince Luther? Why would a prince help a useless child?” His suspicions were rising
”One day, I suddenly was able to use magic…and my prowess core started flowing a special type of magic through my body, I had encountered prince Luther one day by fate as they say and he found out about the similar type of magic we had...and that interested him.” Ivery explained
”I hope you know that this sounds stupid..” He narrowed his eyes
”I'm sure it does, but I'm speaking the truth.” Ivery understood his perspective of hearing this..
”I'm not asking you to believe me, I just want you to know...” Ivery sighed
”Whatever.” The boy turned back around and walked away
....
”Who is he?” Luther walked up next to Ivery
”One of the many siblings I have in this place...” Ivery told him
”That's some attitude he has to someone that helped him..” Luther felt irritated
”It's fine, his distrust comes from a good reason.” Ivery looked at him
”That reason is?” Luther raised an eyebrow
”He knows he was abandoned by the Emperor, his father...he doesn't know his mother, this place is all they know and it's hell for all of them...and it was royals that caused them this miserable life....and I'm sure when Inanna died, she hated royals just as much if not more..” Ivery didn't know what else she could do for them all while in a predicament herself...she had a better chance of helping them with Eos and Xia out of the way
”But I also have a strong feeling that during the execution of the residents of the Hollow's castle that turn eighteen, my....Inanna's grandparents were always present...making sure Julian carried out the execution.” Ivery said
”But now with Julian freed from their control, along with their lives in Julians and Cassandra's hands, the residents that turn 18 won't be executed anymore since that was ordered by Ilestrie and Grace...maybe so that the Hollow's castle won't be overpopulated?” Ivery didn't know what to think since all of this knowledge was all still so fresh to her
”For now let's just think that's the case.” Luther rubbed her back
”The question is....what to do now..” Ivery was puzzled
”Hades and Hecate are working on a plan to help us get rid of Eos and Xia along with her.” Luther said
”A plan? Why didn't you tell me yesterday?” Ivery asked
”I just remembered about it, but regardless, for their plan to work.....we're essential.” Luther told her
”I wonder what it is then...” Ivery felt ready for whatever they were preparing
”Ivery...” Luther said
”Yes?”
”Wasn't there a maid over there?” Luther asked
”Oh right.” Ivery turned around
”.....” Ivery was confused
”Where did she go..?” Ivery didn't see the maid that was unconscious by the crumbling, far end hallway wall
...
Suddenly multiple footsteps were heard.
”There she is!”
Ivery and Luther's attention focused on a group of maids.
”That little girl did that to you?” One of the maids starred at the maid with a bruised mark on her swollen cheek and noticed the bits of missing teeth from her mouth as she talked.
”T-This wall is also proof.” The maid limped over to the wall she crashed into
”How is that proof when this place is dilapidating?” Another maid asked with a chuckle
”You're sure you don't need your head checked?” Luther asked
”How could a little girl like this hit you so hard that you ended up looking like you've been beaten by several people?” Luther smiled
She angrily glared at Luther.
”W-Wait..there was a boy...that saw what happened!” The maid shouted to the others
”What boy?” The maids asked
”C-Child...t-twenty nine!” The maid exclaimed
”Go get child twenty-nine.” A maid ordered with a sigh
Two maids went downstairs.
....
”We have child twenty-nine.” The maids held a dark blonde haired boy with hair that touched his shoulders by his arm
His dark brown eyes looked at the maids furiously, he obviously was confused and angered as to why he was forcefully brought upstairs.
”Well, that's just great..” Ivery brought her hands up to her face
”Now boy, tell them what you saw.” The injured maid looked at him with desperate eyes
”What I saw? What exactly are you talking about?” The boy asked as he pulled his arm out of the maid's hand
”That girl over there, you witnessed her do this to me...” The injured maid pointed at her face
”....” The boy looked at Ivery and smirked
