Here I am, sitting around a table with my siblings, the head maid and teacher Ledang. Fie is also in the room, sleeping peacefully. As for us, I just asked them why they are hiding the fact that the prince of the empire is coming to Amleth from me.
"And they're afraid to tell me because the prince of the empire might actually be after me?" [Diana]
"That's right, young lady. Even though I was told that it was the Third Prince who orchestrated everything that happened in Emas, the Elder Prince couldn't accept that one of their most powerful units was wiped out in a foreign land without any significant result. They're here under the pretext of peace talks, especially regarding the news of the Devil King's reincarnation, but the information gathered suggests otherwise" [Head Maid].
"And how does not telling me anything help?" [Diana]
"And that's what I said" [Ledang]
"Alright, you win" [Nar]
"It's just a hard news to break" [Sas]
"How strong is the prince? If anything, I can easily beat him" [Diana]
"This is my little sister" [Dana]
"Don't resort to violence right away, although in the worst case scenario, it's not the prince you have to worry about. I'm confident that you can definitely defeat him in a one-on-one fight, but it's his retainer that you should worry about more" [Khamisah].
So the prince is here to talk, but you all know that's not the case. He's here for other reasons, one of which is aimed at me. Hmm... Strange, why did he have to target me just because of what I did in Emas? There should be more valid reasons, right?
"Is it because of the fairy heritage?" [Diana]
"Why did you suddenly mention the fairy heritage?" [Dana]
"I mean, isn't it strange that a powerful person like the prince would come all the way to Amleth just for me? There must be something else. I thought it might have something to do with the Fairy Heritage." [Diana]
"The last time I checked, it was that bastard Flint who had it. How incompetent he is that he still couldn't unlock it. It's literally just a cube and a key" [Dana].
"I'm lost" [Khamisah].
"Miss Saga, you weren't there during that time, so let me explain" [Ledang].
Fairy Inheritance. Fairy heritage. Fairy Legacy. It goes by few names, but it refers to a large brown key with a cube where our family inherited it from the founder of our village, Aru herself. I asked Master Merlin about it, but even she was unsure of its contents. Whatever it is, I remember Father saying that the time would come when we would use this inheritance. I also remember how the new village leader, Flint, stole it from me when he killed my entire family.
"Grr..." [Diana]
"What's wrong?" [Sas]
"Remembering how the village leader Flint stole it from us just makes me angry now. I still can't accept the fact that he and the villagers killed my family" [Diana].
"Neither can I, although I'm glad you're still alive" [Dana].
"I usually tell you not to be too violent, but if you find yourself in a position to beat him up, then do your best" [Nar].
That I will though.
"Is it possible because only Diana or Dana can unlock it?" [Khamisah]
"I don't know" [Dana]
"Father only tells our older brother about it" [Diana]
"I see. Assuming that is the case, what do they need it for?" [Sas]
"Something to do with the Devil King? I mean, Aru and Fairy Queen Titania defeated the Devil King, and now that Devil King will be reincarnated, so..." [Diana]
"I see. That makes sense" [Head Maid]
"My little sister is really smart" [Nar]
"See. Don't ever hide anything from me again!" [Diana]
"Yes. We wouldn't" [Nar]
At least that's the reason I think he might have come here. I'm not sure because I never heard anything else. I asked her another reason why the prince might come here.
"He's after Teacher Tiara too?! Makes sense, since she's the princess of the empire. I hope they will not succeed" [Diana].
"That, and something that will surely leave a bitter taste in your mouth" [Khamisah].
"I don't like the sound of that..." [Diana]
"It's just a rumor, but they are going to ask Princess Kara and Mara to marry as into their family as well" [Nar].
"That... That..." [Diana]
That's just...
"TELL ME THAT SOONER!" [Diana]
