faes was now angry.
she had been trying to control her anger on the nobles but it was now proving difficult for her. hence she decided to let it out.
not to mention these nobles were reluctant to shame the royal kids. they even dared to call nia impure!
"its connon knowledge that the second princess can't cultivate and even the royal family never rejected those rumors" duke warren hissed. he originally liked this girl as an heir for the throne but seeing how she was helping the royal family his impression of her lessened.
"they neither accepted those rumors" faes replied as she turned to her father
"your majesty, if i may ask. can princess faes cultivate?"
her direct. question seem to start another round of murmurs. but they soon died down and all nobles stared at the king wanting to know the truth.
augustus looked at faes who subtly nodded and smiled. she was ready to come. back as the royal princess but he couldn't help but be worried about her.
still he would support her.
"the royal princess can cultivate and is a genious among the younger generation" augustus turned to the nobles
"she began her cultivation later than others because of the higher level and rarity of her talents but she can already kill me with a click of her fingers now" augustus smiled proudly as he watched the nobles frown
"and i am sure commander shiva would agree" augustus glanced at shiva who nodded smilingly.
"she can even kill me if she wanted to. but she is diligent and hard working. she merely focuses on learning new skills and improving herself. a graceful, elegant and smart lady if i say so myself" shiva grinned feeling proud of himself.
he was the one who taught faes her melee fighting skills! he was her mentor.
"commander shiva had met princess faes?" duke bradford spoke stunned by the turn of the events.
"of course, not only i but all of you have met her recently, its just you have not known it was her" shiva smiled as he watched the nobles who used to bully and humiliate him turn confused and stunned.
"let me clear the confusion before we proceed to the real topic of the court session." faes spoke bringing everyone's attention to herself.
faes stood and glanced at the whole courtroom before turning towards the thrones. her father was smiling at her and her mother looked worried. as for her brother, he was staring at her intently giving her goosebums while nia was not only confused but also worried.
"the second princess of kingdom altai found a way to awaken and went on a journey. there she not only awakened her talents but also began her journey to become the most powerful. she met many people and made lots of aquaintances and also helped many people solve their crisis. she once helped a village and got another name." faes spoke as. she began walking.
all the nobles followed her while all kinds of thoughts. faes walked to the empty throne and ran a hand on its handrest.
it was this place that she never sat on before. not because she doesnt want to but because she wasn't eligible. she couldn't cultivate and was a dumb wastrel in everyone's eyes. a person who was merely royal in name but never was given any respect. not only others but even her own family members didn't think of her as a human, a living being.
remembering the suffering faes felt her anger increase.
"what are you doing? that's the second princess seat?" alex glared at her in anger but he couldn't bring himself to raise his voice hence he sounded calm. to the nobles who expected the royal family to do something to faes in anger, and were waiting for the drama and another chance to get the royal family down were disappointed and suprised.
the royal family had different reaction than what they were expecting.
faes did not reply but merely turned towards her mother and father who nodded encouraging her to take her seat.
she did not accept it.
standing near the seat faes turned towards the nobles.
"now if you would excuse me, we were discussing about the crown prince and the latest incidents. as for the royal princess you would have many spies in her castle? why dont you ask them?" faes grinned and made everyone frown.
they felt betrayed! how can she hype them up making them curious then leave it just like that?
"lady aster, how can you disrespect the second princess by just walking and touching her throne as you wish?" duke arnoult spoke.
"hmm? oh! i thought no one respected the royal princess, wasnt she the trash you all were talking about a while ago? i have even heard many say that princess faes is a bitch, a spoiled brat who couldn't even get her family to see her as a living being" faes hissed she didn't want to hurt her family but it was needed. they needed to know, she was a free living being who want respect.
"the audacity!" duke arnoult was stunned but it was the truth.
each amd every person in the court had thought of the second princess as trash. faes was right on point and it not only gave the nobles a reality check but also to her family.
while. her parents looked ashamed alex and nia were stunned deep in thought. as if they found a reason because of which faes might have run away.
"all of you merely care about your reputation. your social standings and titles. you dont care about anything and anyone. the second princess merely wanted recognition and respect but what did she get?"
her things were snatched and she was beaten up, ordered around by mere maids. not even a single person looked at her with respect that a princess deserves. now she was back and this time she would help the real faes to take her revenge and get her respect she deserved.
at that time a notification rang in her ears bringing her attention to the screen at a side and a floating mi.
[soul mission: help the original owner get her respect and dignity back. also help the royal family get stronger and their rule more established.
reward: levels +4, cultivation +4, rare mineral ores from different worlds, rare herbs and medicines from different worlds, space upgrade
punishment: the destruction of cultivation, shredding and burning of soul]
faes was surprised but not shocked. she merely accepted the mission and focused on the court.
all the nobles were silent staring at her in shock.
"lady aster" faes heard alex and turned to look at him. his eyes were moist and he looked guilty. he suddenly stood up and bowed his head
"thank you for standing up for my sister and helped us understand what we were doing wrong."
faes was stunned at his behavior but then she nodded
"you dont have to bow your head to me, it was my duty to give respect to those who deserve it. as for princess faes~" faes turned to the crowd again. she somehow felt calmer seeing alex almost in tears, and guilty to be the one who was hiding the truth. she should tell her siblings about herself.
"she would take her revenge soon" faes finished speaking and walked down from the throne but did not go back to her seat. she needed to finish this quick and have some alone time with her family.
