Chapter 63: Coward. (1/2)
Violet's side.
”Darling…” Violet muttered worriedly as she looked towards the coliseum. Even though the structure couldn't be seen in the distance, Violet instinctively knew where Victor was.
”Don't distract yourself in a fight.” A cold voice spoke from beside Violet.
Violet turned quickly and tried to defend against the oncoming attack, but she wasn't quick enough.
Hilda kicked Violet in the face, and her kick was so hard it threw Violet across the hill, ”Ugh” Violet was buried under a pile of rocks.
”Never let your guard down, always be prepared to use your powers at any time, remember; you are the heiress of Clan Snow, everyone envies you, and everyone loves you, but at the same time, you have a lot of enemies.” Hilda straightened her white glove and continued watching the place where Violet was buried.
”HAAA!” Pure fire covered Violet's body, and soon she came out of the rocks.
She looks at Hilda, ”Now I understand who was inflating my mother's narcissism.”
”...It's not a lie if it's true.”
Violet rolled her eyes.
”You don't understand how special your Clan is,” Hilda appears beside Violet and whispers.
”Huh?”
Slap!
Hilda slapped Violet on the cheek and sent her flying again.
”You've let your guard down again.” She spoke coldly as she watched Violet, who was buried in the same area.
”BITCH! Stop hitting my face!” Violet yelled angrily.
”Your 'Darling' would be disappointed to see how weak you are right now,” Hilda said coldly.
”...Huh...?” Violet's face darkened, her eyes lifeless. Then, slowly, her body began to release a dark red pressure; this was killing intent... She was irritated.
And Hilda saw it.
”That's it, use the anger, our power comes from that anger, but-...” Hilda walked towards Violet with elegant steps.
And slowly, Hilda's image was blurred; it was as if she was drifting in and out of existence.
Violet's fist started to catch fire, and as soon as she punched the air, a massive amount of flames flew towards Hilda!
”Anger out of control is just a waste of power.” Hilda's image slowly faded.
”Tsk,” Violet realized that the attack didn't touch Hilda, she started using her senses in an attempt to find Hilda.
”Your way of using power is very raw.” Violet heard a cold voice behind her.
”!!!”
Violet turns around, and soon she sees Hilda's hand inches away from her face.
Hilda's two fingers began to be covered in fire, ”Looks like we have to work on all your control again.” She finger-flicked Violet's forehead.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
With one simple move, she managed to create an explosion that sent Violet flying away.
As she looked at her clan heiress, Hilda thought; 'Tsk. Agnes did a sloppy job again. I should have taken over Violet's training when she got home...'
Hilda has noticed Violet's improvement this week, but that's not enough for her since she is a strict woman. So she will not be satisfied with this 'little' improvement.
Hilda visibly sighed. ”Hmm?” She looks at her shadow and, seeing the shadow of a man within her shadow, she said:
”Oda?”
”Yes, Lady Hilda” the shadow's mouth moved, and she heard a voice in her head.
”...Go get Lady Violet, and when you finish this work, I want you to get in touch with Kaguya. I want her to come home.”
”...” The man was silent, and he seemed to be thinking about something:
”Kaguya was fired from her task by the Snow Clan heiress.”
”I know, but she's still part of Clan Snow, she has to go through all the legal processes to get fired from her Maid job. She also needs to find her new co-worker.”
”... Yuki, huh.”
”Are two maids not overkill?” He can't help but ask.
”...You're asking a lot of questions today, huh?” Hilda spoke.
”I'm just trying to understand, is this man so important to receive a servant from Clan Snow and Clan Blank?”
”I don't know... But that was Lady Agnes's order and Lord Adonis... Initially, she would just be a servant of Clan Snow, but now that Violet has fired her Maid and transferred the right of the master to her husband ...Things just ended up like that...”
Hilda frowned a little; 'For some reason, Lord Adonis is very supportive of Violet's new husband. He seemed very happy that he found a son-in-law. Lady Agnes doesn't seem to like Lady Violet's new husband very much, but in the end, it doesn't matter if Lady Agnes doesn't like it. After all, when Lord Adonis wants something, Lady Agnes will do anything to please him.' She thought.
”...” Oda didn't know what to say; he just kept thinking about what he heard.
”Finished with the questions? Now go do your job.”
”Yes!”
...
Human world. Outside Queens.
On top of a building, a white-haired man was sitting on the balcony while drinking a bottle of tequila.
As he stared up at the starry sky, he was thinking about Jessica.
”I fucked up,” He knew he'd screwed up, he was aware of it, but he couldn't apologize.
”Whatever. I'll think about this problem in the future.” He took a sip of tequila
”This is not what I expected from our meeting, my son.”
Johnny's whole body shivered when he heard the sudden voice behind him, he was startled! Johnny turned and looked at the visitor who was standing on top of a water tank.
”You keep doing this, huh? Can't you show up in the normal way, Old Man?”
”Normal?” Adam put on a confused face, ”I'm just an ordinary professor working at an ordinary university. I'm the most normal person you'll ever meet, my Son.”
