faes went to stroll around a city. she was not feeling well due to the poison asuna secretly mixed in her breakfast this morning, again. though she was still strong enough to walk and move around on her own, she still let gray and eli out to accompany her just to stay safe.
they were hiding their aura and race with a special tool they found on market.
faes went to many stalls window shopping and also bought few items for sky and others. faes was not just there for shopping but rather to know the citizens opinion on the royal family. But she was tired and hungry enough to go to a restaurant for her lunch.
beside her gray and elijah were worried, they were aware about her being weak and poisoned. but they didnt interfere with many things faes was doing as it wasnt something that would take a troll on her body or harm her.
once they entered the most famous restaurant, starlight delight: they were met with a scene out of movies.
faes frowned from the noise as she was already feeling down from the poison. when she was thinking of going to another place a notification appeared in her view.
reading it faes felt her anger increase and she grinned.
gray and elijah exchanged worried glances when they saw faes grinning eerily and moving towards the crowd.
they too followed hurriedly not wanting faes to get in trouble.
"is that how you treat a royal? your crown prince?" faes heard as she moved to the front of the crowd.
in front of her was her brother, crown prince alexander monesterio von altai. wearing a white and golden traditional robes and his crown with many accesories he lived up to his title of the crown prince.
"i apologize sir, it was my fault. i would accept any punishment you bestow upon this lowly one but i would still beg for forgiveness as it was really an accident" the waiter was on his knees in front of alex sobbing.
faes saw that the dress of her brother had a stain on it. it was a washable stain and was merely about the size of a finger. but alex was angry and punishing the poor waiter for accidentally spilling the food.
"you mean you tripped on air and tried to burn me from hot soup?" alex countered making faes frown.
she had already sensed that alex was filled with ego of his title. but the sentence was also suspicious.
"i speak truth, your highness. i really felt something knock on my leg that made me trip. as for how it vanished is something i dont know" the waited cried.
"if something was there to make you trip then why isnt it there anymore?" alex hit the waiter making him fall on the ground crying out from pain.
faes heard a snigger and frowned turning towards the other side of the room. there was a man in his twenties wearing a hood. faes scanned him and got to know that he was a noble establishment stage cultivator who used telekinesis.
she understood what happened. that man was taking advantage of alex's short temper and egoistic nature to harm the royal family.
but she could also see why it happened.
"eli" faes called out lightly but eli heard her clearly.
"yes milady"
"i want that man in hood, alive" faes nodded towards the hooded figure as eli nodded.
"be careful, he can use telekinesis" faes warned even though it wasnt needed. eli was already strong enough to even subdue her father much less a noble establishment stage cultivator.
eli nodded and vanished in the crowd as faes focused again on her brother, thinking of how to deal with it.
"you dare try to hurt a royal and lie? you think i am a fool?" alex spoke making faes roll her eyes but then the next second her eyes twinkled with mischief
"milady, please take it easy, you are not well currently" gray warned faes when he noticed her eyes twinkled.
"dont worry i would be fine. i just want to play a little" faes smiled at gray and then turned to alex who was going to hit the waiter again.
with a twitch of her finger a knife was sent flying towards alex though not aiming for his vitals.
"wha-" alex barely dodged the slow moving knife when more utensils began flying and pointing towards alex.
"who is it? who dares to attack this prince? show yourself"
alex created a qi shield around him but the utensils merely stayed afloat and didnt attack him or anyone.
when the hooded man noticed that the utencils were not hurting the crown prince he realised that he had been found out and began retreating.
but alex deserved to be the crown prince, he noticed the slight movement and turned towards the hooded man who began running away when caught.
"catch him" alex ordered but before the royal guards can move eli appeared near the man and caught him easily.
"let go, who are you?" the man tried to struggle and fight but eli subdued the man easily.
faes watched all this bored, she knew that difference in cultivation realm was too much for eli to even exert his strength.
seeing the man shake with fear in eli's arms faes let the utencils return to their original place.
"who sent you?" alex asked angrily
"i would rather die than serve the prince who abuse their power" the man pulled out a pill and was going to eat it when faes signed loudly.
"really, you would die just like that? at least complete what you came to do" faes was not expecting the trouble maker to be so cowardly.
but her sentence had successfully stopped the man from eating the pill and eli used a rope to bind him up properly.
"who are you?" alex asked faes but faes merely shrugged
"i would deal with that guy first if i were you" she then ignored alex and went to the waiter who alex was beating up initially and helped him stand up.
"are you alright? here drink this potion and you would heal in no time." faes offered the waiter a healing potion but the waiter merely hesitated glancing at alex with fear
"you need not be afraid of him, he was merely decieved. as for his behavior, i apologize in his stead." faes glared at alex who looked at her angrily.
"who are you, you dare disrespect me?" alex glared at faes who sighed again.
when she was gathering information about the royal family only her brother's character had problems. that too was merely anger and ego. but she wasnt expecting to deal with him this early.
[early is good, i would have more time to deal with those people later]
"we will deal with you later, gray" faes waved her hand and gray appeared behind alex chopping at his neck.
before alex could respond he fell down unconscious. the royal guards were alert and wanted to fight with faes, gray and eli but couldn't move due to fear.
"take him back to the royal palace. i would deal with him later. also when he wakes up tell him that i would take care of this guy on his behalf. if he dares to hurt the innocent citizens again then he can forget about living" faes ordered the royal guards slightly releasing her aura.
