"Are you kidding me? Please tell me you're joking...please..." With a voice that has gone so rough because of crying, Marie weeps to Hero, tears streaming down her cheeks. This whole week has been a nightmare for her. There has been no moment that her eyes were not misty and her throat was not sore.
Right next to her, Bianca simply stays silent. She has thrown the blanket she once wrapped around her body away to the side. Her eyes are not as distracted as before, though. In fact, they are now showing signs of intelligence again.
From the state of delirium, she now looks like she can at least think for herself. This is all because of, or thanks to Hero telling the two the plan of Lord Kan.
After the explanation of Hero, Marie yells angrily: "You people are just going to throw me away like this?! Right this instance?! After you have had enough fun with me!?"
The Hero replies with a troubled face: "Marie, Marie. Please, ...I need you to calm down first."
That does not help at all.
"Calm down!? You tell me to come down!? After telling me that I am being discharged like a used sex toy? Am I your cum sock?" She starts to break down. Her whole body trembles uncontrollably.
There is something starting to build up inside of her, something dark and sinister. It tells her to go crazy. It tells her to release her feelings.
"That...that's just not true!" Hero struggles to find the right words. "I do not think of you like that!"
Yet Marie is incomprehensible to his reasoning: "Hero, we are supposed to be with each other forever, aren't we? You have sworn over and over again that you are going to protect me no matter what, haven't you! Can you hear what you're saying? You are doing the exact opposite of it!!"
"You...you need to think carefully about it, Marie. This plan will help us all!"
"Help us? Or help you two?!" Marie grunts. Her hands clench tightly and the face is just getting worse by the seconds. She is shaking more and more. No one can notice her pupils widening up more and more.
Her stare scares Hero as he is clearly taken aback.
"We just... we just need to stop meeting up for a while. That's all! And then..."
"And then what?!" Marie yells from the bottom of her lungs. She can feel like a warm liquid is starting to fill her throat up. A metallic taste swarms her nostrils.
*Cough cough cough*
She wheezes and covers her mouth.
It is blood. She has torn her windpipe open with all of the howlings.
"Marie! Are you okay!?" Hero comes to her aid. A golden sphere with mythical runes starts to form around him as he places his hand on her neck.
The signs of the Restoration spell.
"*Cough* Just...finish your sentence..." Her pale face improves a little bit, yet her eyes remain the same.
"And then things will just get back to normal!" Hero tries his best to keep a low voice, yet rage is already invading his mind. Never had Marie yelled at him like right now and he does not like the feeling one bit.
How dare you? He thinks.
"How long?! *Cough* For how long do I need to stay away from you? Why am I the one that needs to be sacrificed? Why not her?" Marie points her resentment towards Bianca.
To which, the princess replies with: "Because there is no need for your existence, dear Marie."
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!!! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!!"
Instantly, yellow orbs appear around Marie. From there, shining beams of light shoot out at a ridiculous speed.
Light Magic: Laser Beams.
Bianca does not move an inch. It is not because she is terrified, but because she is confident. The outfits she wears are all Manafused items with the highest level. There is no way she can be harmed by such basic attacks.
Nonetheless, even before the magic could reach Bianca, Hero has already prepared for it.
*Sizzles*
An Ice Shield, thicker than the length of an arm, is there to protect Bianca.
"Pfffft. Pathetic, dear Marie. You are truly pathetic. What are you trying to do? Scratch me to death? Your spell is not even Creation Magic! Hero staying with you is already the highest form of blessing there is in this entire universe." The princess laughs maniacally.
"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!"
*Sizzles*
Marie is already consumed by wrath. She does not care about anything anymore. What she wants right now is to kill that woman. Marie craves violence. Her blood lust must be quenched.
*Bam bam bam bam bam*
She hits her fists onto the Ice Shield. Of course, with her meager physical power, it does not bulge. Instead, after a while, her hands break open and are dyed in crimson color. Every punch she makes is just making it worse. Soon after, the floor is filled with a red liquid.
"DIE WHORE!! DIE!! JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY!" Marie feels no pain as she keeps hitting the shield. Her body starts to glow a yellow color.
Light magic: Physical Enhancement.
"Stop being crazy! I am doing this to protect you!" Irritated and not knowing what to do, Hero shouts at Marie. "Open your damn head and think for a little! We are trying to help you, to help us! What have you done to solve this? Nothing! Absolutely NOTHING!!"
What is happening? Why is she acting like this? What should I do? Bianca? No, Bianca doesn't care. Shouldn't they be nice to each other like the novels I read? Why is everything bad keep happening to me?
A bunch of questions shows up in his mind.
"JUST SHUT UP! I DON'T CARE!!"
Muttering most of her strength, combining it with the spell, Marie raises her fists once more. It glows in yellow light.
*Bam*
A crack forms. Bianca looks at Marie with a smug.
*BAM*
It gets bigger. The princess's smile changes.
*CRACK*
It is shattered.
"GOT YOU NOW BITCH!! DO YOU HAVE A PROTECTION FOR YOUR FACE?"
Immediately, Marie grabs Bianca by the shoulders. Around the clothing, runes light up, protecting Bianca from harm.
She was so fast Hero could not do anything. Even if he expected her, he would still do nothing. He would just stand there looking at the two girls like an idiot. Since he has never dealt with this kind of situation before, it is understandable.
"What...are you trying to do? Hero, help me!" Bianca is a little scared of what is about to come from her rival. The eyes of Maire are not that of a human, but an animal. They are not the normal color.
They are black.
She needs to run. She needs to run fast.
But her pride does not let her. If she stands down now, she is completely lost.
Bianca can not be defeated by her love rival.
"LET'S SEE IF YOUR FACE CAN HAVE A SCAR, SHALL WE!!"
Marie plunges her fingers into the left eye socket of Bianca.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
