Ok, it’s been a long time but here it is~
Here’s Chapter 5
Medea’s POV
I'ht that will serve me came
Sigh…I shall surely missed Patricia…She's such an obedient child
I know the person ill replace her and I did not expect that we shall ain in this kind of circumstances
Someone knock on the studio's door
”Enter” I answered
The door creaked open and it revealed a tall young man He still looks the saht of him
He kneeled before hness, I am Div Umbra Claymore, a Paladin that is set to serve you”
I can't help but feel aard at his formality to me It's like we only just met
”Stand for I want you to do so for me”
I pointed at the black pianoforte at the side of the room
”Didn't you kno to play that? Help me in my practice”
He went to the piano and read the scores ”Tchaikovsky?”
I nodded ”Swan Lake…The play will be showing soon and I do not want to make any mistakes So if I have some time, I practiced as much as I can”
I' to hear him say 'You're still the same' but he remained silent
He is not the same as he was back thenNow, you cannot even perceive any emotions from his face
Oh, he already started playing the piece The tempo is slow so that is why it's sounds lonely
”—I'ot to ro tempo”
He repeated it from the start
I started the dance with the croisé devant ht foot is pointed forwards while my left foot is behind it Meanwhile I raised my left hand while the other one is outstretched
Then I did the cabriole, a kind of juht
I prepared myself to do a piroquette
I turned using just one footAfter the turn, I lowered my other foot to support the first
One…
Two…
I tripped at the third piroquette
The music stop and I didn't fell down on the floor
My knight saved me
”Are you alright your Highness?”
He's so close to me that I can felt his breath fan my face
I just nodded for the fear that if I spoke, my voice will tremble
”If you hness, I think you are not suited for ballet It seems difficult to do this kind of dance—”
That words of his brings ache in et why I really wanted to become a ballerina?
”I bring joy to soI also help many people with it”
Because all the profit gained froive hope for those who are in need
I carefully stand up as I leaned into hiazed at the horizon
”How about you Div, do you think that being a Paladin suited you? Because I would want to see you more as a—”
”—the right to becoiven to someone” He cut off ”And the tihness—”
I immediately stared at him ”—Where did you learn it from?!”
”Any va people who get close to the declared prince under your orders—”
My ears hurt at what he said I did not give any orders to kill innocent people!
Really, even I can't escape politics -play!
I went out of the studio and marched outside the ht that serves as uide
”—FRANCES! FRANCES!” I haven't reached the back of the cathedral yet as I yell the bishop's name
He io outside alone? Where is your Knight?!”
Pak!
I greeted him with a slap
”WHY ARE THERE DEAD INNOCENT PEOPLE?”
He couldn't answer and it just made me so mad I stared at him
”Y-your Highness, don't bescared For sure, he has noticed that his body moves on its oithout his consent
His nails got longer and he pointed it on his heart
”P-please spare ive me one more chance!”
”Spare you? Did you have mercy to those innocent people who you carelessly killed? As a powerful being, isn't it our duty to be humble to those who are weak?”
”YOUR HIGHNESS, STOP THAT!”
My concentration slipped and I lost control ofbishop because of Div's yell
I'll just do it again then
Div put his arh…” He whispered
I suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness
Div's Umbra's POV
I carried the princess when she lost her consciousness
It's dangerous for her to use her power for there are times when she lost control of herself
”—You have done well Paladin” I can clearly see the relief on the bishop's face
”I'll carry the princess inside” I said as parting words
”Wait You're the one who told the princess of what she has learned isn't it?”
”I am”
He glared at me ”YOU DEGENERATE!Aren't you a chatty one!”
Behind hiure of a woman She then tore both of the bishop's arms
”W-WHO IS THIS IMPUDENT? Let go of me! I'm the princess's bishop!I can make you suf—”
”Her name is Penu for I ahtRemember that I was supposed to be the prince”
”Pwe! I know you! A Duke who's title was taken away because of—”
He couldn't finish what he is saying anymore for a horde of shadow aro until his head was severed from his body
He instantly turned into ash
”You're still easily pissed U is the truth anyway…”
”Shut up Penumbra Go back to where you came from”
