"Really?"
Exclaimed Maida as if it was hard to believe it. Cecile nodded her head and smiled.
"Just a sec!"
Maida said. She reached under her white furry cloak. She took out a thick book of animal skin. The surface of which was covered with rose petals that seemed to have been preserved.
"This is the book I just stole. There's a spell here to swap our eyeballs."
Cecile knit a pair of eyebrows. Was it like a spell collection book? This world really had many hidden miracles.
Cecile had known, that was the way when the girl applied the spell. She cast a spell by singing. Besides, she also had a clear voice and a deep breath.
'For a tired rose'
'Tired ... rose ... tired ... rose ...'
'Just be withered!'
The wind suddenly blew hard. It was his roar that blew noisily. Shooke trees and other plants vigorously. And dust, dirt and dry leaves were scattered in the air.
Cecile could feel how hard the wind was messing around. Her golden brown hair fell apart. Several specks of dust covered her face. The wind slapped her cheeks very hard. And there was some dust stuck in her eyes that she blinked repeatedly.
Suddenly Cecile saw the change in the girl's hair.
It was no longer fresh red. But it changed colour from a red rose bloom to a withered brown. And it happened to her eyes too. Her eyes were originally red like blood, slowly faded became pink. But suddenly, they were disappeared. leaving her eyes in completely white. Cecile was shoked by the sight.
'Go to a new place!'
'For something new and better life...'
'Bloom beautifully there!'
'Switch...'
Suddenly Cecile felt a sharp pain in her eyes. Her eyeballs felt like be forced to be pulled out. The intense pain ran through her body. Made her break out in cold sweat enduring the excruciating pain. At last, she cried loudly, because she could not hold it.
"Argh ..." Cecile screamed in pain. Her hands pressed against her two eyes that were in great pain.
'Switch...'
'Turning to something new ...'
'Swap ...'
"Argh .." Cecile howled in pain the umpteenth time.
And the pain disappeared suddenly. Her body calmed down again with the roar of her breath that was a little chaotic. A mouthful of blood came out of her mouth.
"Are you okay?" Maida felt very worried and guilty. Her hands hurriedly released the rope wrapped around the girl in the tree.
Is Cecile, who is a human girl able to accept it?
"I'm fine!" Cecile had not recovered her consciousness a little.
But suddenly she received a tremendous flow in her body. Flowed in her veins. Spread throughout the nerve cells. And her heart was beating very hard. When that energy flow reached the brain. Cecile vomited a mouthful of blood again.
"This is bad!" Maida exclaimed in panic.
"Is it possible that your human body isn't strong enough to accept it?"
Cecile didn't know what to respond it. She felt very dizzy. Her soul seemed to have just been pulled out. And her body seemed crushed to the bones.
"What did you two just do?"
Maida was startled with a voice. Look back. Maida's eyes, now brown were rounded wide. When she saw a familiar figure.
It was a handsome man capable of hypnotising girls with a single glance. Which can ensnare many hearts that fall for his charisma.
"Y-your highness, the crown prince!'
Arthur had just tried to run away after almost been caught in the land of humans. He accidentally found a tremendous force of pressure in this place. So he came to see it.
"Was the pressure that happened before, your doing??" Investigated Arthur.
Knitting his brows, Arthur felt like it was impossible. The girl in front of him was just an ordinary person without any flow of power. So where did that come from?
And he also smelled the human scent around here. Glancing further back.
Arthur caught sight of a girl with red hair in a plain blue dress. Fell unconscious to the ground.
"That's right, your highness" Maida certainly had to admit what she had done.
"I did it"
Arthur's gaze became complicated. Take a quick look at the girl. She had dry brown hair just like a wilted red rose. Her eyes were brown in colour which reminded him of someone. Smelling her body scent clearly, that was the body scent of his compatriot.
And glanced back again. Arthur strengthened his sense of smell. Her blue eyes sparkled in disbelief. The red haired girl is a human. How can?
"You performed the 'Rose Transition' spell?"
'Rose Transition' is a spell belonging to the Rose clan. And those with blood of the rose clan were prohibited from studying it without the clan head's approval. Where did this girl get that spell?
"I-I did it" Maida replied restless. Her body trembled slightly with fear. What if this deed would be reported to the royal party? What if she was claimed to have violated the Batanfrien agreement.
No!
Maida didn't break it at all. The girl herself was willing to do it. So she shouldn't be afraid.
"On a human girl?"
"Y-yes"
"What did you say?" Arthur lost control and yelled at the girl.
Actually, Arthur never cared about the affairs of his people. That's because he never acknowledged his position as crown prince.
But for this somehow Arthur felt unable to keep quiet. What this girl did could be a major offense.
"I did it with the girl's consent," Maida exclaimed in panic. She knew what Arthur was thinking and tried to explain.
"Then do you know? this deed of yours could take her life"
Maida gasped. Her pupils enlarged and trembled. Biting her lip she began to be in a daze. Looking back, Maida found that the girl was still unconscious. Her lips were supposed to be fresh red. It turned slightly blue as if without blood.
"I-I don't know about that"
Maida grabbed Cecile's body. Put her forefinger on the bridge of the girl's nose. The air of life still blew. But it was very subtle and weak. Instantly, Maida panicked.
"Then, what should I do?"
Her brown eyes were trembling. Getting wet with tears.
"Please save this girl ..." Maida would never forgive herself. If that girl is so sincere, it dies only to fulfill her purpose.
Arthur took a step closer to the front. Only to find a girl who was unconscious on the ground.
She was the first girl that he ever hugged.
"Cecile"
