62 An Unknown Within Her

Angelica's looked at the clothing with gloominess. Her hands shook when she touched then vile piece of cloths. Or the be more precise dress.

What the heck is this balloon dress?!

She frowned and threw the dress away and pulled out a dress from her white pouch.

Thank god she packed majority of Valeria's dresses in this otherwise she would cry. She picked four a long dress that didn't look like a balloon and wore it.

The emerald green looked good on her and she elegantly tied up her hair into a bun. She felt satisfied and went out right away to meet with everyone.

Crack-

Her body fell side ways and she held onto the wall to support herself. She felt cold sweat appear and on her back from the sudden pain she was experiencing.

It was as if someone was ripping apart her limbs one by one. Just like what she felt during the time she took the antidote for the poison. All over her body.

"Princess Silver?!" She heard a voice and she got up instantly and smiled at the person.

"Oh, Knight Ace. What's wrong why are you panicking?" She asked as if nothing happened.

"Ah- um. His Grace has asked me to come find you." He cleared his throat and explained.

"I was just going there, but my heel stumbled. Let's go." She gave a lame excuse but it seems like the knight believed her.

'He seems fun to tease?'

"Knight Ace your not married yet?"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Ace choked hearing the sudden words and he looked at the prince with a red face.

"N-no."

"I see. You not much young away. Try getting married. Trust me the one to your heart is right around the corner." Angelica laughed and teased the boy. But she wasn't wrong.

This fellow here had someone he likes but is to shy to confess. And if she wasn't wrong-

Her eyes moved to the group of maids heading down the hall. Particularly the maid in the middle of the 5. She had long brown hair and a cute face, the type of girl who look like a soft person.

"Just saying. If you have someone you like confess otherwise your bond to be single." She truthfully said.

It was the flow of spirits that she was reading and she could see that their sprints started to flutter even more when they came near each other.

Ace found her words random but when he saw Lily. His heart started to beta faster than ever and a small blush appeared on his cheeks.

Angelica inwardly smiled and picked up her pace to head to the room they were supposed to be at.

Throb.

She hissed to herself quietly and paused her steps making Ace wonder what was wrong.

"Princess? Do you need something?"

"Ahh, it's nothing I was just thinking about something. Let's go inside." She opens the door before he said anything and walked in.

Ivan and Travis looked at her walking in and greeted her.

"Princess..." Ivan's eyes fell onto her outfit and then back to her face as if questioning her why she didn't wear the dress the maids had prepared.

"It looked like a balloon." She spat out hatefully.

"Pfff-" Ivan almost laughed and his shoulders trembled as his laughed.

Travis on the other hand shared the same sentiment and also believed that the dress here looked like balloons. He couldn't understand how people wore them?

There weren't even useful for combat!

"I see. Anyway let's get back on schedule. How long will it take to break the curse?" Ivan asked.

"A day or two at most. But the main thing is recovery. I have seen both Felix's condition and Sir Travis's condition." She sighed to herself and said to them, "Have you heard of the poison call Eternal Night?"

Ivan thought about it for a moment before asking her, "You mean the forbidden poison found in the era of the demons. I heard it cause terrible nightmares if injected into a body."

"Forbidden... indeed it's forbidden. Well since you have me I will tell you that I have experienced that poison in person." She didn't mind sharing.

Their brows shot up as they were caught off guard by the sudden words.

She had her smile on but anyone can see that she has a past that can't be shared or even said.

"It was close to that poison but it was later destroyed by the witch queen 5 centuries ago. Only a small part of it was persevered in the Shape Shifting Forest. But it seems that a small amount had been recreated somewhere else."

"But it soon came into light a few years ago. Illegal testing that involved a few races. But I was there to destroy it when I was 60 years old. They sent me and two other witches that included the one that m get be the cause of the curse running through their bodies. It was..."

"....a massacre."

Death comes and goes like the storm. And exactly then she felt something call pleasure in killing. She had fun to be precise. That's why she stopped after awhile and became completely quite.

Ivan study the face of the woman who was lost in her thoughts. If anything everyone had their fair share of rights, death and a one side slaughter.

He was no different. Having seeing death over again and again. He felt used to it but he was different from her.

"What happened? To the left over poison?"

"We made sure to obliterate it. But there wasn't cure until I used blood. My blood."

She raised her head and spoke to him, eye to eye. "That's why... when I heal them I will be in my most vulnerable state."

Honestly it was a risky thing she was doing but for the sake of her students she will do anything. After all it was the mess she made and didn't clean up. She should be the one to fix everything even if he might die.

'Maybe death will finally smile upon me?' She thought to herself.

Ivan's hand paused hearing the selfless thoughts running through her brain. His golden eyes flicker as he thought about something's.
