5 hours had passed since she waited in the train carriage and during that time, The Protective Classa remained standing and silent without asking and saying anything again to Greisy after his humiliation before.
Greisy just sat there, dreaming and thinking about her future destiny. She kept asking about her own mistakes, why she had to be forced becoming a victim of hatred from NTC citizens later?
The woman's tears had dried up and she was too tired to keep crying. She begged, desperately begging to be given just one chance to escape. If she was given an opportunity not to have anything to do with the Crown Prince, she would try to be more grateful for everything she had received so far even if it was just a bitter life.
Krakkk..!
The double-sided carriage door opened again. The sound of footsteps was not heard because the sound of the train engine echoed in the underground, The Exile Area.
Greisy who was very disappointed and angry even though she could only keep them in her heart seemed reluctant to look at the Crown Prince who came and approached her.
"I'll give you one chance to disobey my order," said the Crown Prince shockingly until the downcast Greisy started to lift her head, feeling a little relieved.
Really?
Was it true that the hope in her heart would be granted?
Greisy looked at the Crown Prince who had sat back in front of her with full expectation.
"What do I have to do to get that chance?" asked Greisy who no longer cared to speak politely to the Crown Prince.
She didn't like him. Her Future king was not as good as many people knew.
"Didn't you say earlier that you have mastered more than 4 tribal skills?" asked the Crown Prince back, asking Greisy for reassurance while flashing a mischievous smile, a sign that he really liked to see the sadness and suffering of the woman in front of him.
"Hmm, yeah, that's right," answered Greisy, nodding her head
"Well, just Prove me!" The Crown Prince's firm order made Greisy stunned.
"What skill do I have to prove to you, Your Majesty?" asked Greisy as she swallowed, feeling so nervous and so indecisive.
If she failed, would she be able to live in a normal again without any pressure and heavy burden that would befall her soon?
No,
She couldn't fail anything happened.
She tried to convince herself to be able to prove her ability to the Crown Prince.
Even if only once. Let her show her skill once to someone who wanted to see her and to someone who might be able to admit her.
She still believed that one day everyone would see her and so that with her parents. She really hoped they would come to bring her back home and also hug her again.
"Hack! If you could hack the CCTV of Palace Apartment, 15th floor number 300 then I would let you go. I want you to hack footage starting from a week ago!" the Crown Prince ordered while signaling to his military noble giving a PC to Greisy.
Greisy's heart was beating fast. It wasn't that Greisy was unable to do so, it was just that she was nervous if she made a mistake and failed to obey the Crown Prince's order.
Greisy slowly unfolded the computer screen. She turned it on then was surprised when she saw the locked screen.
"Hack!" ordered The Crown Prince again to Greisy who had to open the lock without knowing the password.
Greisy was stunned, she slowly began to take deep breaths and then immediately concentrated on fulfilling the order.
Tiiing…!
The sound of the computer being successfully opened was heard. It did not take long, Greisy managed to overcome the problem.
Surprised!
It seemed that there would not be any nobles in the room who would underestimate Greisy's abilities. Because hacking was a skill that was very difficult to obtain for ordinary people who had never visited the Urban Region. However, Hacking was a great skill of the Coshi tribe of their main profession as a programmer.
The Crown Prince smiled wryly because in reality Greisy was not someone to be easily manipulated.
Even so, it seemed that the Crown Prince had his own reasons for choosing Greisy as his future queen. Otherwise, he might not be planning something to change the woman's mind in front of him to obey her order.
Yes…
Greisy's mind began to change.
Not slowly but so fast.
The tears that had dried up seemed to be flowing again, faster and faster than before.
"Do you think you have a chance to be loved or even if you have proved that you're great?! Just look! They won't come to take you home, it's impossible, Grei." It was the Crown Prince's words that were influencing Greisy's thoughts.
"Why?"
"Because what has been thrown away cannot be retrieved. They will definitely look for other things. More useful, better, and they will never come back because you have been replaced with another daughter," continued the Crown Prince affecting Greisy's thoughts that have been messed up. The woman was no longer able to control her mind and her heart when she saw the results of the CCTV footage that she had managed to hack.
Yes,
The CCTV apartment that had she hacked was an apartment belonging to her parents who lived in a palace apartment because they were royal nobles. And in the Apartment, Greisy could see a woman of her age who was so deeply loved and cherished by her father and her mother.
Who was she?
She never even knew that her mother had given birth to another child while she was dumped after she turned 7 years old.
"This is your chance. If you don't want to take my order then you will be here forever. They won't care because that woman has replaced you. Now choose! Obey or you will regret it for the rest of your life?" said the Crown Prince firmly, putting pressure on Greisy who was slowly getting affected.
"If they don't want to see you then show yourself to them even if what you do is useless, at least they will see you instead of you rotting in this place!" continued the military noble who also contributed to Greisy Hawysia's chaotic thoughts.
Right,
If being good was impossible to be seen, if trying best was impossible to be cared for, and if her all hopes was not possible to come true, then being bad didn't matter either because the most important thing was that she would be seen. She just wanted her parents to see and she didn't want to be in a Exile and took other people's food.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will obey your order." Greisy answered quietly with eyes still filled with tears.
She would become a useless woman, a useless crown princess who would be hated by people of her country.
"Great. Come on, Baby, close to me!" commanded the Crown Prince while outstretched his arms to await Greisy's arrival into his arms and to hug the woman.
