After listening to nna’s lengthy narrative, Violet finally understood the entire cause and the behind-the-scenes details.
However, more than the main story, what the priestess was more concerned about was...
“So, you can really predict the future?”
Although there had been similar speculations before, hearing it firsthand brought a kind of “Wow, this world is truly magical” shock to Violet.
“Then, take a look at . What does my future look like?”
Violet pointed at herself, showing a curious expression of “What about , what about ,” not even paying attention to the cream tart in her other hand.
Princess nna smiled and shook her head slightly. Perhaps due to the frequent use of the “Revelation” to predict the future, she had seen too many hearts and possibilities of people that didn’t belong to her age. Despite being only 12 years old, she appeared quite mature.
If Violet had to describe it, it felt like the mysterious and unpredictable aura of a fortune teller in manga or movies.
“Unfortunately, Miss Visitor, I cannot see. As I ntioned before, anyone related to you will make the future unclear, not to ntion yourself.”
nna lifted her head and looked into the black-haired girl’s gem-like silver-blue eyes. Under normal circumstances, the “Revelation” would take her into another illusionary space, revealing the possibilities belonging to that person on the World Tree.
Regardless of how many futures she saw there, in reality, it was just a brief mont, similar to Violet’s experience of watching others’ mories.
But just like the result of nna’s several discreet attempts, what she could see from those beautiful eyes was only countless dazzling golden lights to the utmost brilliance.
In the next mont, nna was squeezed out of that world by an overwhelming radiance, her face suddenly turning pale.
“Uh, you just...”
Just now, Violet did feel a sensation as if sothing was peering at her, but it lasted for an extrely short ti and quickly disappeared.
*Cough cough...*
After coughing a few tis while holding her chest and drinking another large cup of warm tea, nna’s complexion finally improved.
“Yes, just now I prayed to the gods for a ‘Revelation’ about you, but still, I gained nothing. Honestly, among all the beings I have encountered so far, only you, the Visitor,’ have presented such a situation.”
“Well, that’s a sha... By the way, don’t keep calling a Visitor, it sounds weird. Just call Violet.”
“Alright, Miss Violet.”
nna didn’t mind.
When Violet first heard the term “Visitor,” she thought the little princess already knew that she was a ga player who had crossed over from another world. However, as she listened further, she realized that here, the term “Visitor” was just a term of reverence given by nna to an existence she couldn’t fully comprehend based on its manifestation.
Although the power of “Revelation” is magical, it still has limitations. Violet had explored this before; aside from the ability to foresee the future, nna was indeed just an ordinary person, much like her sister in the beginning.
So, in that case...
“Did you foresee that Ben’s ring would be stolen, and that the person who secretly placed the contract docunt inside it was you?”
The young princess did not conceal her intentions and nodded.
“I asked Rebecca to do it. I deliberately had her keep that docunt earlier to ensure that Ben’s guilt would increase and everything would be foolproof.”
Violet thought for a mont...
Indeed, if Ben really managed to escape the capital and survive, once this docunt was made public, it would significantly damage his reputation and diminish his influence.
As for why it was specifically placed inside Ben’s personal ring, it was undoubtedly more convincing. Perhaps the content seen by the young princess through the “Revelation” had so other considerations behind it, but that was irrelevant now.
nna had also ntioned that the “Revelation” could not predict every detail, especially when it ca to the future of the “Visitor.” Just like how she couldn’t foresee that Violet would return the docunt to Ben.
“Then, the arrow leading to the vampire mansion...”
“I arranged that as well. The content on it was not arbitrary. If Miss Violet didn’t make the trip, Devitt related vampire forces would continue to introduce new variables in the capital.”
“Although I don’t know exactly what Miss Violet did inside, judging from the changes in the ‘Revelation’ on my sister, I can still determine that the trouble has been resolved, right?”
“Well... and the downfall of the third and fourth princes...”
“I orchestrated those too, adjusting Ben’s plans through Rebecca. The only purpose I had in achieving these results was to eliminate all enemies that would hinder my sister from becoming the queen.”
“Why do I feel like I’ve been used as a pawn...”
With that, the priestess smiled ambiguously as she touched the holy staff beside her, emanating a faint sense of oppression.
“And you should know that many people died in this turmoil. From a certain perspective, they died because of you, right?”
Violet actually understood that nna had never actively incited the riot. While she adjusted Ben’s plans while he was in prison, in reality, without the intervention of the young princess, more people would have died that night.
Soone was just upset about feeling manipulated and deliberately made provocative remarks.
Even when she t Ben, she had a rough understanding of the situation. If Violet wanted, she could completely disrupt nna’s plans.
“Regarding this matter...”
nna stood up, as if she had already anticipated everything. She bowed at almost a 90-degree angle, lowering her noble head belonging to the royal family.
“I know this is a great offense to you. I also bear a certain responsibility for the innocent victims who died. But besides this, I couldn’t find a better solution... I’m truly sorry. If Miss Violet is still dissatisfied, you can take my life, and nna will have no complaints.”
The young princess’s words were sincere, and when she planned all of this, she probably had already prepared to pay the price.
The priestess did not imdiately respond but calmly turned the question back.
“You can see the future, right? So, before saying these words, did you know whether you would survive afterward?”
Remaining silent, the little girl and the emotionless silver-blue eyes of the black-haired girl locked gazes for a mont. In the end, nna shook her head.
“I can’t see it. The future is blurry, or rather, until I get your decision, nna lchior’s future cannot be observed at all.”
“Is that so...”
Raising her hand, Violet slowly reached towards the young princess’s forehead. Violet could feel that nna’s body was trembling slightly. Clearly, she wasn’t as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Perhaps she felt terrified about the unseen future or simply feared death.
Seeing this, Violet smiled.
In the end, she just lightly tapped the smooth forehead of the girl, eliciting a cute exclamation.
“Yi!”
“It seems that your heart hasn’t turned into a cold monster by those ‘possibilities.’ I’ll forgive you this ti. Make good use of this ability to assist Lilya.”
Pausing for a mont, the priestess looked at the pitiful, teary-eyed blue-haired little girl and chuckled.
“If you have the chance, confess these things to Lilya. I think... she will understand you.”
