---- SIGRID I finally left my refuge in the mountains, keeping the cave protected with a spell.


    It was cozy and safe, a perfect hiding spot in any situation.


    Exhausted and sad, I decided to take a walk to clear my mind.


    Thated going back to that mansion.


    The only thing tying me to it was Ss.


    Lost in my turbulent thoughts, something triggered my sixth sense.


    The clouds in the sky were moving too fast, and there was a murderous magic whispered in the air.


    I went to transform and escapeeverything screamed: DANGER! P''dbeen followed.


    I''d probably walked right into a trap.


    Before I could even take flight, the roots in the ground twisted up, trying to grab my ankles.


    Tleapt nimbly, but the tree in front of me whipped its branches down threateningly, lowering itself to strike me.


    Violence everywhere.


    The forest awoke, enraged, enchanted with powerful magicI could feel it.


    My opponent was strong...


    very strong.


    ---- attacker.


    They caught it in their palm and reduced it to ashes inside their ck glove.


    They lowered their arm from their face, giving me a re filled with hatred and rage.


    ck hair pulled into a high ponytail, blue eyes, powerful and untamed.


    Damn it, why out of all people did it have to be her? Blectra De Croix, you picked the wrong fiancé.


    Too bad for you, " she sneered with a twisted smile full of murderous intent.


    I couldnt even scream at her: Youre wrong! Thats just a cover for your fling with d! Im your family, your descendant!! Inan instant, she was in front of me, attacking with viciousness, and all I could do was desperately defend myself to survive.


    Wait! Princess Selenia, wait! This isnt what it looks like!" I shouted between blows.


    She didnt relent.


    She was ruthless, going straight for my head, no exnations.


    My back mmed against a tree trunk, making me cough up blood.


    My arms and legs were trapped in the bark, and her firm hand mped around my neck.


    Squeezing, giving me no time to react, cutting off my air.


    Electras magic sealed me offI was defenseless! ---- Electra was nothing like her rival! T''d have to unleash my Selenia magic, expose myself I wasnt going to die under her unjustified hatred! But my eyes drifted past her hateful gaze, over her shoulder, and what I saw froze my blood even more than Electras imminent threat.


    "SILAS, NO! DONT ATTACK HER! SHES TOO POWERFUL, DONT ATTACK!! RUN, RUN!!" But it was toote.


    Princess Selenia Renata, Zareks mother, sensed the stealth attack from behind.


    She spun around, all her fury unleashed, ready to crush the fly buzzing in her ear.
