Late night visit, my ass! Frederick Greyworth looked at the man sitting up high on his throne and wanted to scream. If not for the fact that he was the King, Frederick would have kicked his ass. Waking him up with a magical messenger bird telling him to get to the castle right away. The only good thing about this was that he could finally tell the King that the heiress to the Greyworth family had been decided and that Alissia would take over! But it still irked him that he was being thrown under the bus. The damn King was making it his fault that his demon wife couldn't pin him to the bed. He had never met such a man before. Why the hell was he running away from sex!?
Frederick took a moment to compose himself as he said: "Yes, your Majesty…. I came here because I would like to name Alissia Greyworth as the heiress to the Greyworth family."
"Oh! Goood! Yes, Alissia is a good girl with amazing potential. She makes a fine heiress. I am actually glad you came. You see, I think Alissia really does suit the royal family well and well, I would like to keep the engagement between her and my dumbas- the Crown Prince and have it officially announced at the next Rune Festival in two months. What do you think, Frederick?"
Frederick's eyes glowed as he nodded his head. "Yes! Yes! Haha, your Majesty is wise."
"Yes. Mmm, we will need to make sure they can not get back out as well. Someone come and take a decree!" Gerad yelled out. A man wearing a butler uniform walked over with a large platter that had a scroll and a magic pen on it. He was doing this because he wanted to lock Alissia to the kingdom. She was powerful, very powerful. Even without magic, she could wipe out an entire kingdom on her own with how fast she was. He had to make sure she stayed in this kingdom no matter what!
Gerad quickly wrote up an entire decree and turned it over to Federick. "I need your signature here as well."
"Yes, your Majesty." Frederick was no fool. With how strong his Alissia was, she could easily rule this kingdom on her own without the need of the dumbass crown prince. After signing the decree and handed it back to Gerad, who looked it over and smiled. He had made a few extras in the decree that would allow Alissia to want to abide by it. It was very beneficial to her to do so. And because it was a magic based decree that she would need to sign with blood, she would be bound by it no matter what. That night two men snickered in the throne room like two drunken idiots.
While plots were being set, Mary was sitting in a deep dark dungeon. She was leaning against the damp mossy wall. Her hair, clothes, and face were all a mess. She had not eaten, and no one had come to see her since she was locked up. She had no idea what was going on. She wanted to go home and sleep in her comfortable bed. But as she sat there and thought about the reason she was stuck in this dark, dingy dungeon, causing her hatred for Alissia also began to rise beyond the peak of sanity. "Just you wait, Alissia, I will skin you alive and then toss you out to the magic beasts to be eaten alive!"
As she finished her declaration, she heard footsteps coming from the hall. A guard walked over with a small bowl of gruel. "Dinner is up."
Mary watched as the guard put the bowel down and was about to walk away. She quickly stood up and yelled out: "Wait! Please contact my father, Frederick Greyworth!"
"Your father? Listen, little girl, I hate to tell you this, but if your father cared about you at all, he would have long requested you to be set free. I mean, I got word he even came to the castle not too long ago. Sit tight and wait for your trial. Also, you better eat that quickly before the rats get to it." The guard did not want to even look at this ugly woman anymore. Mary had no idea what she looked like, but her face had been completely distorted. Her nose now stood sideways, and half her face was now a bit higher than the last. Alissia had punched her so hard that she basically got a botched plastic surgery job.
But how could Mary care about her looks when she suddenly heard about rays! "Rats!? No! Let me out! Let me out! I hate rats!"
"Ahh, shut the fuck up! It's too bad you are so damn ugly your body is not half bad. But that face. Shit…. I think I would puke even if I covered it with a bag. Otherwise, maybe I would have 'helped' you a little bit. Hahaha! But Nah! All set, ugly bitch. You screwed up and hit the prince. You will probably die at some point." The guard let out a loud laugh as he walked away, feeling much better about himself.
Mary stood there, unable to understand what was being said to her. "I'm ugly? How? There is no way! How could I be ugly? I was one of the top beauties of the capital! It must be because of that bitch hitting me! It's her fault! I will kill her! I will kill her!"
While Mary was going nuts in her cell deep in the palace dungeons, Alissia was snuggled up with Millie. The two girls looked very close with how they hugged each other. Alissia was basically hugging her with both her legs and arms. And standing in the doorway with a pillow in her arms, looking at the scene, was Princess Fina with a small pout on her face. She was troubled if she should join them or not. But seeing how they were sleeping so peacefully, she couldn't bring herself to wake them. "I guess I will have to wait until next time…."
Feeling depressed, Princess Fina walked back to her room with a pillow in hand. Her maids all gave her looks of pity. They all could tell how much their Princess liked Alissia. They each were cheering her on. They also came to like how Alissia was. So carefree and easy going, not treating their Princess differently like others.
