Chapter 5 My plan

Chapter 5

It's already been two weeks since the birthday of the Emperor takes place. My father did as he promised, he was gentle to my mom and the maids were treating us nicely. I'm here back at our mansion and I'm in my room right now gazing at the large window. From up here, I can see the garden and the fountain in our huge yard.

While looking down, my eyes catch a glimpse of the necklace that the boy gave me.

But I'm still curious about that boy who gave me this. I'm thinking that he is the second prince but the possibility is almost at zero. The second prince wouldn't dare to go out of his room especially outside.

There are many aristocrats that wanted to assassinate him. His life will always be in danger the fact that he is unfavored now, the emperor will not care about him anymore. It seems that the world really hates him.

But we're not the same, in spite of everything, he fought back. He's brave but I'm a coward. But never mind, in this life I will be the protagonist!

But... If my plan in leaving the mansion succeeds, I have an opportunity to save the prince! That's right, if Alexis and Ivellina end up together at least we have a chance to live a happy and peaceful life.

It's not a part of my plan but I should give it a try. After all, we share the same fate.

I was brought back to reality when I heard a voice behind.

"Miss"

I turned by back and saw Lina bowing at me.

"What is it?" I asked

"Someone from the Ferrel house is looking for you. He's in the guest hall right now" she said

Ferrell house? Isn't that the family name of the Imperial General? Hmmm, that boy really had the guts to come here after all he's done?

"Alright, Lina help me dress."

She nodded and brought me my clothes. After several minutes of changing, it's already done. Then, Lina followed me downstairs until we reached the Guest hall. From a far vision, I saw that general's son brat's face again.

What the hell, it's too early for me to be in a bad mood because of this boy.

He seemed to sense us walking in their direction. Our eyes met and I can see in his eyes that he really hates me?

Is he here for revenge? But it's only him who's here. He didn't bring along his dogs?

"It's been a while, general's son" I greeted

"You witch... " I can sense him shivering while clenching both of his fists in his lap. His eyes were also worn out close and it seemed he's not having a good night sleep.

"Oh?" I said raising an eyebrow

"Take it back..." he murmured

"What?" I replied

"Take back the curse!" he cried

Ah, this boy really takes my curse for real? He must be insanely stupid.

"Follow me" I said

He quickly stood up and his eyes began to spark.

"Are you going to take back the curse?" he asked

"Probably" I answered with no appetite

"Thank you!" it's a happy language

As if, stupid!

He followed me in exiting the mansion and we are now on the yard and our path leads to the mansion's gate.

"Are we doing it outside?"

I ignored his questions and continued to walk. When he passed through the outside the gate, I quickly moved inside and locked the gate.

"Are we going outside to the mansion---Hey, why are you locking the gate? Let me in!" He cried

I looked at him with emotionless expression and that made him gulp.

"Go home" I said and turned around

"Wait! Please take back the curse! I didn't get much sleep in the past two weeks because of your curse! I don't want to be impotent! Please take it back!"

Oh my gosh, he's really crying! That's right, no one wants to be impotent. Impotent in Tagalog is 'barren'? Something like that. He really takes that thing seriously, wtf?

"I won't" I said

"Please I'm begging you! I'll do whatever you want me to do, just undo the curse! I don't wanna be impotent!" he cried

This guy... He really thinks I'm a witch. Is he really a general's son?

"It's useless, don't convince me anymore because no matter what you said, I won't" I said and walked slowly

Well, I have to tease him more so he can offer me much more, hehe.

"I'll be your personal knight when I already reached my come of age. I will dedicate my life to you so please spare me!"

Hmmm, not a bad offer.

I turned my back and I was shocked when I sensed a strong killing intent from the back of Maximilien.

"Personal knight who?" Neron said smiling while holding Maximilien's collar

Crap! Why are the two bastards here in front of my house?

"Ne-Neron!" exclaimed Maximilien

"What Neron-Neron, huh. What are you doing here?" Nero's threat

"I-I was---" Maximilien was interrupted when Neron suddenly shouted

"Shut up! I wasn't asking you!" Neron shouted to Maximilien again

"Y-You asked me!" replied Maximilien

"Calm down, Neron. I can handle this" said Arthur

Hey, it's good that Arthur is there but Neron will disappear..

"Tsk" said Neron

Neron immediately released Maximilien.

"Tell me..."

The atmosphere becomes cooler and my hair is straightened up.

"Are you perhaps harassing our little sister forcing yourself to be her personal knight?" Arthur asked fearfully

He's really scary when he gets mad!

"No, I wouldn't dare! Please listen to me" said Maximilien

"Very well, go on" replied Arthur

"I was pleading Lady Adelaide to take back the curse she enchanted to me."

"What curse?"

"... Im... Impotence.. "

As soon as the two heard of it, they began to be anxious for some reason and their personality towards Maximilien changed.

"Man, that's really awful" Neron said while patting Maximilien's shoulder

"I know right" Max said smiling while shedding tears

"Man, you need to convince our sister. The offer you made earlier is not enough to take back the curse. What if she sacrifices her life just to take back the curse from you?" Nero said

What the fvck? I'm not really a witch, I just piss off that impotent impotent! You are a traitor, Neron!

"That's right, she kept on refusing me even if I'm bribing her." answered Maximilien

It's because I want more offers, idiot!

"Judging on how she reacts, she must be careful in making a decision. Her life is at stake here, you should offer her more to undo the curse. The consequences must be too hard for her to overcome." explained Arthur

Are you Arthur too? Traitors!

"A-Alright, I'm willing to pay 200,000 cers to her. I'll compensate her if she will have to go to the hospital before the removal of my curse." Maximilien spoke determinedly

Sigh, this is hopeless. Did they drop their brains?

"Sister, open the gate. We will help you to remove the curse." Neron said seriously

I sighed.

"Fine" I said and signaled the guards to reopen the gate.

Neron and Arthur stood beside me leaving Maximilien in front of me.

"I'm begging you Lady Adelaide, please spare me" Maximilien said while bowing

Arthur patted my head and I looked at him. He smiled at me and so did Neron.

"Don't worry, we got you sis" Neron said and winked

Eew..

Hey, it seems that I have no choice but to finish what I've started. Nevermind, his offers make up all of this stupid stuff.

I pointed my hands on Maximilien's forehead.

"Curse release!" I speak strongly

Let's pretend, I'm really having a hard time releasing a curse from him so I act a little.

"Argh, the curse is too strong!" I gritted This is hilarious

"Hold on, sis!" shouted Neron

Haha, another fool.

"It's done" I said pretending to be short of breath

"Its over.. " Maximilien knelt down and looked very happy

Its OA.

"I felt it, it's like a lightning rushed into my forehead and all over my body." Max said in shock as he looked at his hands

"I can't believe that you have a powerful aura in you, Adel." said Arthur

Hey, yes. As many of you know, get out of here and I'm stressed out with you.

Should I put an act? Suppose I'm tired or dizzy? Right! They are sure to leave.

Pretend I fell and rocked.

"Adele, are you okay?" Arthur asked worriedly and supported me

Hehe, I rushed them blehhh.

"I feel dizzy.." I said and acted

"Neron, quickly call an ambulance. Adel's life is in danger, I can tell it." shouted Arthur

"Roger!" replied Maximilien

"Are you okay, Lady Adelaide?" asked Maximilien

"B-Brother, just bring me back to my room." I said

"No, you must be treated immediately!"

"But..."

What's happening? Why is my vision suddenly disappearing? I'm feeling dizzy and nauseated. Why is this happening?

"Sister.... on.. hold...."

My hearing is slowly fading too.

Am I gonna die? What's happening?

I slowly regained my consciousness as I heard the sound of my breathing. What happened to me? Why did I pass out that time? I clearly remembered that I did nothing to Maximilien that time so why did I lose consciousness?

Ah, it's really frustrating!

"Miss is finally awake!" I was surprised by Lina's cry

And even more surprised when people suddenly came here. Annoying...

"My daughter!"

I suddenly smiled when I saw mom. Maybe he was worried about me a lot.

"I'm glad that you're safe" she cupped my face and I can see her worried expression.

I hugged her so I can say that I'm okay.

"It must be tough for you" I was surprised when father suddenly spoke

Why is he here? I doubt that he cares about me. An unknown person is also here, Neron and Arthur, and seriously, Max? Forget it, as long as Mother, and the others are here it made me happy.

"What happened to me?" I will ask

"I believe that you had just awakened your magic, Miss" said the light-blue haired middle aged man

"And you are?" I asked

"I'm the Imperial magician, you can call me Letto, my lady. I was ordered by the emperor to heal you but I found out that you had just awaken your magic" he answered

Awaken my magic? That's absurd, I didn't have any magic in my past life. Only Ivellina has magic, and she inherited the magic of Lascena family, the bloodlust eyes.

Our red eyes are the proof that we are a Lacsena. Our eyes will beam and create a dark and eerie aura that can intimidate people just by looking at them. The inheritor of the magic of our eyes will be passed by each generation. Father is the one who inherits the bloodlust eyes and he is a manipulator.

The function of the eyes will determine by a sequence; Ze, In, Pi, and Mon. Ze is the ability to see everything within a 300 meter radius. It can also zoom in everything like a microscope. In is the ability to see things even though it was covered or kept in a box. It is used to see-through objects that are not seen. For example, you can use In to see what's inside the box. Next is Pi, Pi is an ability of a pictographic memory. He can clearly recall the scenery in his mind and can even draw a whole art just by looking at it in one second. Its user's memory did not last, as long as he lives. And lastly, the Mon. Mon is the ability to manipulate other people's mind just by looking at their eyes, it was the very dangerous yet powerful ability of our eyes.

Lascena who inherited the Mon ability had a hard time to properly use it. Some of them died because the power backfired in them. They lost their insanity because they did not properly control their power. But Father was one of those who succeeded in controlling it, I heard a rumor before that he was the first to undergo harsh trainings and tortures in order to master the ability.

I can't possibly inherit the bloodlust eyes, this generation will be the ability of Ze, it's pretty good ability. But what magic do I have?

"You are a spell caster, my lady" the Letto said

Everyone in the room gasped at what they heard. Wtf, I'm really a witch! This is bad...

"Tha-That's impossible!" Arthur exclaimed

Huh? What's impossible?

"Didn't a spellcasters are rare magicians, how can you tell?" asked father

Father is surprised too. Why the hell did I become a spellcaster? No matter what you call it, it is always thought of as witches. Whyyyy??

"She's responsible for the curse she made to Maximilien and also by removing the curse. I can see a trace of young lady's magic in him. The proof is, once a spellcaster is bestowed a spell and wishes to undo it, it will cost more Mana than the casting a spell itself." explained Letto

So it means.... sh*t, the curse is real and removal of the curse is real! I can't believe I was tricked by my own acting! I really didn't know that I had that magic. Argh, that Maximilien bastard really... Argh!

"Me and Neron was the witness of the curse's removal. We really didn't know that she will use a real curse upon him, I usually thought that it was a simple words curse that can be removed by taking back the words" Arthur stated

So these guys knew my acting all along, waahh it's embarrassing!

"Will she be alright with her current state?" mom asked

"Yes, Duchess. She is fully recovered and I can say that her Mana is stable right now. She will soon discover the true power of her magic herself and I recommend that you should take have her teacher to teach her how to control her magic . She's still young but her magic has already awakened, you shouldn't waste the time. The young lady seems to be a genius."

Me a genius? No way... There wasn't an event like this in my past life how did this happen?

"No need for seeking a teacher.."

We were shocked when my mom suddenly spoke.

"I will teach her. I am currently a Duchess in Lascena house but I'm a former war general in my country when I was not yet married.
