"You..." I said as I looked at Noraya, who was frowning at .
"What?!" she said as she was glaring at like she was asking for a fight.
I looked at her and I could really sense Abanoon’s energy coming from her.
Why didn’t I notice it early a while ago?
And why did Abanoon choose Noraya?
Noraya, who was known for being sweet and kind but mostly for being a little stupid for keeping on insisting she never did and never coerced anything or anyone.
"You have her," I said as I looked at her, who frowned at what I said.
"Have her?" she asked as she looked confused.
"What are you even talking about? Are you just trying to change the subject so you have a reason to stay here?" she said as she grimaced at and made so face.
The odd energy was gone, and it seed like it wasn’t in the air anymore.
"And why are you not even scolding her for being here?" she asked as she was glaring at Ernie and Jarnus.
"We already told you, lady Noraya, we can’t just let you, as the empress is in very bad shape," Ernie said as he even glared at her, like he was losing his patience.
"How can so knights be as rude as you?" Noraya asked her as she even faced Ernie and looked at him from his head to his feet.
"Are you sure you’re even qualified to be royal knights?" she asked Ernie and Jarnus as she was obviously looking down on the two of them.
"That’s insulting, Lady Noraya. How can you question soone if they are fit for their role or not?" I said as I did the sa to her, and she seed offended at what I did.
"You will be gone here after I told Helion all your evil deeds," she said as she was even pouting herself.
I almost slapped my forehead in frustration. It seems like I was arguing with a kid instead of a full-grown lady.
Noraya seems to have lost so senses in her head as she keeps on twisting her words and making her own scenarios inside her head.
"That’s if His Highness wants to see you, Lady Noraya," Ernie said as he looked at her with a grimace on his face towards her.
"And why wouldn’t he want to see ? Didn’t you know that Helion loves only ? Is that clear with you?" she asked as she looked at us, her eyes shooting so glares at the three of us.
"You’re out of your mind, lady Noraya. His highness has been clearly making things up to you," Jarnus said as he was defending Helion.
"And besides, His highness didn’t want any problems right now; that’s why we were suggesting that you should leave this place," He continued as he looked at her.
"And why would you shove when she was here? Don’t I have the right to be here more than her?" she said as she was glaring at while also pointing her hand.
"I am the saintess of this empire, and I have the ability to help the empress." she said as she was dramatically pointing at herself as she was glaring on us.
"What’s going on in here?" We all looked at when we heard so voice behind us.
"Your Majesty." We all bowed our heads, well, except for Noraya, who didn’t bow her head.
"Lady Noraya," Jarnus said as he was giving her so warning and Noraya seed not to be listening to him.
"Father, I’m glad you’re here," she said as she looked at the emperor, who also looked surprised at what she said.
"Father?" I looked at father as the corner of his lips raised at what Noraya called the emperor.
"Is the baron here, Lady Noraya?" he continued as he acted looking for soone.
"That’s rude, Duke Solaris. I am referring to my father-in-law, the emperor, of course," she said as she smiled sweetly at the emperor.
"I didn’t know your son is already married, Your Majesty," my father said, which made the emperor sigh in awkwardness.
"Lady Noraya, as far as I know, the crown prince is still unmarried and the crown princess position is still vacant, so what are you saying?" His majesty asked her as he looked embarrassed at what she said.
"Oh, co on, father, don’t be shy. Where do you think it will lead? Of course, Helion and I are going to get married in no ti, and you’re going to be my father," she said as she smiled at the emperor while the latter looked shocked at her bold words.
"I don’t think you still get it, My lady... but the betrothal between you and my son was ended months before," the emperor said as he looked at her.
I looked at Noraya, who was left with her mouth wide open as she looked shocked at what the emperor said.
"No, you’re just bluffing, right?" she asked as she was still not blinking.
"Bluffing?" the emperor looked at her confusingly.
"I an you’re lying, am I right?" Noraya said to him while she was forcing herself to smile.
"I am saying the truth, Lady Noraya. Your betrothal with Helion was never even confird by ; it was just that the empress wants you for him, but there have been no official things such as that, and besides, the empress seed to end things with your father, as he said you were unstable." the emperor said as he looked at Noraya.
"But I am fine now, see? I am even here now to help the empress," Noraya said as she was about to grab the emperor’s hand when Jarnus and Ernie went in front to block her from doing that.
"I think you’re still not alright, Lady Noraya. And besides, Lady Acantha was here to help. I suggest you should take so rest first," The emperor said as he looked at Noraya with concern in his eyes for her.
"Her? What can she do? she didn’t even manifest any power so how can she help her?" Noraya said as she exclaid while pointing her fingers.
Sothing wasn’t right.
How could Noraya forget that she already manifested her power?
I looked at her suspiciously and there was really sothing strange about her.
"Jarnus, If you may assist the lady," The emperor said as he looked at Jarnus, who nodded and grabbed Noraya, who keeps on yelling sothing.
There’s the nauseous feeling again.
I looked at Jarnus while he was carrying Noraya on his shoulder; there was really so dark energy coming from her.
"Lady Acantha."
I was about to follow them when I heard so voice.
I turned around and saw Hernand with my father and the emperor waiting for .
"Shall we see the empress?" he said and I nodded at him, while my mind was still with the dark energy coming from Noraya.
When we entered the empress’s room, Helion was there, but he was not inside the barrier, but it seems like he was looking at his mother from the outside while talking to her head maid.
"Helion..." I called and he looked at and stopped talking to the head maid.
"Where have you been?" he asked as he was looking at .
"What do you an where I have been?" I asked as I looked confused at what he said.
"I thought you were following behind ," he said as he looked at the others who were also there.
"Father, duke, Hernand, You’re all here," he said as he seed not to see them a while ago.
"Son," his father greeted him, before he looked at his wife and there was so sadness in his eyes.
"I didn’t see you awhile ago, Father," Helion said as he was looking at his father.
"Oh, we just ca out from the other room as we were talking about your mother’s condition," the emperor said, which made look at him. why did they tell another thing?
I looked at the empress as there was ominous energy that was coming from her.
I walked inside the barrier without them noticing.
I put my hand on her forehead, and the empress woke up.
"What do you think you’re doing?" she asked as she looked at and her eyes were glaring.
Her eyes...
That’s right.
The empress used to have blue-green eyes, but why did her eyes beco a little redder?
"Who are you?" I asked as I looked at her.
"Who am I? I am the empress, of course," she answered as she looked away.
"You’re not her..." I said as I put my hands above her body to see her soul.
"What are you doing? Dion... Get this lady out of my sight," she yelled as she was asking for help from the emperor, who seed busy talking to Helion, and they must not have noticed that she was already inside.
"No one can hear you here," I said as she kept on yelling.
"You damned goddess, why do you always interfere with Goddess Abanoon?!" the empress yelled and this ti her voice changed.
"No, you, along with Abanoon and the likes of you, keep ruining people’s lives," I said as I was trying to make her speak.
"Now, tell , where’s the empress’s soul, and why did you take her body as a vessel?" I said as I used so purification power on her to make her say sothing.
"You won’t get anything. I am the empress and I will kill you," she said as she was trying to break the chains that were on her bed.
I used my power to put so divine power there in order for her not to break it.
She looked at her hand and yelled when she got burned and looked at , glaring as if she wanted to strangle my neck.
"Now, shall we begin?" I asked as I sat on the chair near the bed.
