I kept pulling Freya's hair with all the strength I had. Intending to bald her, if possible. From the start, I haven't let anyone hurt anyone I care about. Even if the feeling of disappointment still remains in my heart for my brother's betrayal, if he did those to survive, I think I can still forgive him. It's true that I can't put my full trust in Emma, but now she's the only one on my side. If I couldn't protect her, it would be really embarrassing for me who is the strongest woman in Macross Lily.
"Stop right now, you will regret this, Amelia!"
Freya kept cursing while trying to free her hair from my grip, until her escort knight appeared, grabbed my arm and pushed me quite hard. If Emma had not supported me from behind, I might have been hurt badly. I had been push back before too, but not as forcefully as this. Because Emma tried to save me, she injured her palm.
"Princess!! Are you alright?!!" At that time, seeing a lot of blood pouring out of Emma's palm made me stunned. She is still worried about me when she even barely realize that she hurt her own hand.
"Emma, your palm is bleeding a lot.."
"Ahh, oh my. i might hit something on the grass.." I pull myself up and slap the man on his cheek quite hard. To him Amelia's slap might not have felt at all, but Amelia's weak palm showed the bruises from the slap I had put in with all my might. Freya seems surprised since that is the first time she experience Amelia rise her hand on someone. The knight staring at me as if I'm a small creature in the world. How people in this palace pushed me and not even apologize, it is clearly they despise Amelia.
Lord Vicent Altermia, because of his ability at swordsmanship, the emperor give him a high position to Escort Princess Freya. But it seems a high status that he suddenly required make him ignored the true oath as a knight. He was also one out of people who humiliated Amelia under Freya's command but aside from that, he actually hate people that coming from Mahalingga because he has no trust in any of god.
"Princess Amelia, how dare you!!" Freya still rising her voice after what I've done to her loyal dog. She indeed likes Vicent a lot, not only because his sword skill but also because of his handsomest figure.
I then throwing my gaze upon her, the hatred that fill my gaze as if i want to eat her alive stagers her body, she step back and hide herself behind her knight.
"It's your own fault, i told you to let me go, You dare to put your hand on this empire's royals body. You must be have a dead wish!" The other lady nodding agree with her.
"Although you are the crown prince's fiancée, we witness your wrong doing. You attack her highness first!" another lady with a brown hair, green eyes also rising her voices blaming me. she is daughter of Count Trinity, Freya's closed friend. Vicent who was received a slap from me keep staring. I know very well that not even a single person in this empire respect Amelia. Despite how Amelia still able to kept her head up ignoring them, she was torn inside by the word and how mistreated she received along the past of 2 years since she being here.
They were right, i attacked Freya first as the same status. They won't count the slap that Emma got first from Freya since she is a low servant. In this all of people i'm the one who at fault.
"Your highness, just apologize to her. She won't let you go easily. She hates you" Emma whispering slowly.
"Emma, go treat your palm. If you let it that way, it might have some infection later.." Emma startle.
"No, i can't leave you here by yourself. you getting pale. you are not recover, yet. let's go back together, your highness.."
"Emma, i won't ask you twice. Leave. Tell the priest, i asked them to treat you. if they dare to refused, i will cursed them" Most of the priest in Gerantine were came from Mahalingga. As Amelia been know as the god's daughter. A cursed word from her to the priest, templar and the holy knight as the same as the God's punishment. Emma still worried, but she can't argue more.
"Yes, princess.."
"Who told you to leave?!! it is because of you standing in the meddle of our conversation she was went wild!" Freya stop Emma step. Emma staring at me and bowing hen leave.
"Hey!!"
"Freya, if you dare to take one more step. i would definitely make sure the whole troupe of my holy knight from Mahalingga arrive" A cold sweat suddenly rush on her body when she see me glaring at her. She knew that Amelia was a person who her arrogance found no bound even when she entered Gerantine. But then, the way of Cessare treat her little by little crush all of that and she lost the balance on how to act like a high status noble woman. Which easily mistreated, she even receive the humiliation without utter any single word. People saw her like a broken doll. And it was getting worst after her father choose to neglected her.
"It is impossible..." The knight suddenly rise out his word.
"As much as i know, Mahalingga won't bother about you anymore, your highness. Princess Amelia. You know it yourself"
"You are nothing without the crown prince"
"Instead of fighting with her highness Princess Freya, why won't you start to crawling to his highness the crown prince to safe you?"
"Saying that you would call for the holy knight is a laughing stock to hear" The knight mocking me. But he is also right. But-
"Hey, why a lowly servant like you keep trying to go on my nerves. I tried to be a little bit nice to you and you keep barking like a shit to me.."
"I might been neglected by my family, but have you ever heard that they said that i also been neglected by god?"
"Have you ever heard I tried to call them for once?"
"You will never know when I'm myself not even tried to ask for help from them even once"
"Holy knight, templar, even a lowly born priest in Mahalingga they serve The god not the kingdom, Lord Altermia" The knight now looks not sure about his own word anymore.
Amelia's family cut ties with her, that was what I recalled from her memory. But not even once Amelia asked them nor even begging them to help her even when she was in despair. That was all because her was also a person who can't get back to her own word when she promised her father that she will depend on herself once she living in Gerantine and of course she was too arrogance in asking for help. But that dosn't mean her entire kingdom also neglected her, right?
Since Mahalingga worship a lot of God, Given her prosperity as God's daughter, that won't be easy to entirely erase her shadow from that kingdom. She was indeed not able to used her holy power with the great amount of mana that she had. She tried it so hard in the past. But people from the temple still believe on her.
"Didn't you try to kill yours self twice, your highness?" One of Freya's friend pointing the suicide that Amelia's did.
"Wasn't that meant, because the God also abandoned you?"
"What?"
