'Hmm… I wonder if they have more peppers here… I'll go ask'.
Violetta stashes the herbs away and walks towards the door, but then stops in front of it. She takes a deep breath in.
'It's so hard to act pure when you're not anymore. Luckily I have my amazing acting skills back too.'
Violetta walks out the strolls out of the room where she is greeted by one of the mages of the Demigod Society.
"Good timing, I'd like to have an audience with the Supreme Demigod please. Would you please make an appointment for me?"
Violetta asks in a sweet, gentle voice she always had, but with a tinge of maturity that was never there before.
The mage nods and hurries over with teleportation magic, showing how advanced she is.
A couple of mage escorts bring her towards the grand doors again. They create the bubble-like barrier around her and walk inside the grand hall.
"Greetings to your supremacy," Violetta curtsies toward the Supreme Demigod.
"You may stand. What brings you here?"
Violetta stands with her back straight as always, a mellow feeling filling the air around her.
The Supreme Demigod, combing his beard, looks at the young princess with a trace of suspicion after hearing the story from Claude.
"Have you heard of the 'legendary spice'? I heard that the spice is grown here."
A couple of eyes look at the princess with astonishment. The sheltered princess knows of the spice? And she is interested in it?
"Yes, in fact, it is."
"I'd like to request a couple of their seeds please. I hope it's not a bother."
"Oh, what do you need them for?" he says with his eyes narrowing a bit.
"I recently developed an interest when my friend brought them to me. I'd like to experiment around with them in my free time."
The Supreme Demigod washes his suspicion away. 'Oh, so it's just a child's curiosity. No wonder she's curious, after all, she was sheltered like that. It'd be weird if she's not curious about everything around her.'
He looks over at a hooded mage who doesn't notice the Supreme eyes that laid upon him. The mage's eyes sparkle with a bit of ire but also interest.
"Very well. I will have my successor bring you over. It's about time I introduce you to the successors of the Demigod Society, as you all are in the same generation."
Violetta curtsies, "Thank you, your supremacy."
A couple minutes later, a somewhat loud private meeting is held.
Bam! A fireball crashes into the wall as the 'old man' dodges.
"Damn you old man! Why do I have to do that! I have to wake up early and meet that sly little... kitten?!"
Blade holds Claude back, as Claude kicks around, trying to free himself.
The fire quickly dies down, showing a sturdy, flawless wall without even a scratch on it, as if nothing happened.
"You looked interested, and she'll find out about it soon enough. However, it's quite a surprise for her to be interested in those, though," the Supreme Demigod comments.
"Tch… why, because she's 'gentle and submissive'? You're all quite blind."
"Yeah, we were quite surprised when we learned of her actual personality... Her acting skills are remarkable," Blade holds his chin thoughtfully.
"What… she's your type or something?" Claude looks at him with a look as if he's saying 'lame~' or something.
"You seem to be talking about yourself… your reverence~"
"Shut up."
"It's quite a surprise though, for your reverence to be interested in a girl~"
"Shut up and don't call me that."
"Alright your reverence~"
"Shuddap."
"Stop bickering you two meatheads. Especially you, Claude, is 'shut up' all you can say? Both of you are too much of a meathead to treat a lady and if it's someone as cunning as that girl, you'd be stabbed in the back more that a thousand times."
"Shut up, old man," both of them say, simultaneously at the old geez- ahem, Supreme Demigod.
"You're not one to talk, first, it's not like you got married before, AND I am more powerful than you," Claude roasts.
"I already have my eyes on someone, so there's no way that's happening," Blade puts bluntly without a single blush.
Claude nudges him, "Good luck with her~"
Finally, Blade blushes, "Shut up."
Claude gives a satisfied smug at Blade's rare blush, feeling rewarded.
Amidst of the darkness of the night, an interesting scene happens. A young girl hops from tree to tree, towards a prison guarded by guards. Her blonde hair glimmers in the moonlight as she pauses. Her black cape shrouds her presence in the night as she, Princess Violetta, sneaks into the prison. She easily dodge and slinks past all the guards, not even a hair in sight.
She easily passes through into the prison. If anyone else were to see this, their jaw would definitely fall to the ground, after all, there are advanced guards and mages and spells cast around this prison? Hello?! This is the Demigod Society! Even the prisons are way more advanced than anyone else's and, of course, coated with magic! Of course, Violetta is not at all aware of this, forgetting she is in a world of magic and all...
She walks towards a certain cage…
With no eyes on her at all - a rare occasion - she lifts her hood and stares coldly with disdain, at the dreadful looking girl in front of her.
The girl immediately shrieks and spouts hatred, "You bitch! Damien is my destined darling! You'll never get him, ever! He'll definitely come save me! Haha, you wish you could be with him! Ha! He'll never fall for you!"
Violetta whistles sarcastically, "Hun, are you ok? Since he won't fall for me, then why did you want to kill me? Of course it's because he could fall for me. You're being quite oxymoronic~"
Catching her mistake, her face turns a dark shade of red, full of anger. She mutters under her breath, "That damned Concubine Lotus, that slut played me for a fool. Damn, she knew that I was a threat to her so she …"
Maya holds her head as if it would explode. Violetta looks at her a bit surprised. 'Good thing I came here, or else I wouldn't have known there's someone else behind this. So, this Concubine Lotus must be that Damien kid's favorite concubine, interesting.'
Maya starts to laugh madly, a laugh Violetta is the most familiar with. The laugh of self-hatred. Violetta's bright eyes dim, 'She was also fooled, by that horrible 'love'.'
Trying not to remember, Violetta leans to the side and perks her ears at the sounds of guards talking.
"She's probably going crazy again."
"Jeez, she should save her breath, no one's gonna rescue her."
With one last look at the crazy girl who's finally calmed down, Violetta leaves.
