Chapter 45: Chapter 45

Chapter 44

"You didn't tell me that Vivian is also a winter demon" I said to Trevas who was currently stretching his arms in front of me to help me stand up. I held out her hand as if there was no fight between us before I turned my gaze to Vivian who was currently kneeling on the stage and her hair was gradually turning white like the characteristic of a winter demon every time she transforms.

"That's impossible," Trevas said. "I grew up on powder and I'm sure there's no trace of dark magic in her blood" he replied but I couldn't answer when Vivian suddenly shouted as if writhing in pain.

She was caught in his senses as she screamed in her horrible voice.

"Get the f*ck out of my head!" He shouted, making me frown.

"Lieutenant Jared" Trevas called Lieutenant Jared so he quickly walked towards us and saluted Trevas.

"Take the people to a safe place and evacuate the people living near this place, it looks like there will be a fight here"

Lieutenant Jared nodded before running away, presumably to follow Trevas's orders.

"Sergeant Min, Send a message to the palace about what's happening here and send for a back-up" Trevas even ordered another general he led but I didn't quite understand what he was saying because I was distracted when I saw Vivian slowly stood up.

I was preparing to attack but Trevas suddenly grabbed me by the arm so I turned to him.

"We will talk later"

I nodded at him before releasing the wing behind me and I saw him transform.

"Be careful" he said in his scary voice before quickly disappearing into the shadow created by the nearby pole.

Trevas suddenly appeared behind Vivian and was about to attack when suddenly black creatures appeared from Vivian's stand just like how a winter demon's powers works.

Because of those black creatures that covered their faces with a hood, Vivian was not hit by Trevas' attack but it hit those creatures.

Vivian slowly turned in Trevas' direction but instead of attacking her she suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of me. My eyes widened because of that and before I could react Vivian pulled out a scythe and waved it in my direction.

I tried to avoid that leftover but the scythe still hit my arm and it caused a big wound and blood flowed from there.

I was so bitten on the lip because of the pain I felt in that attack I was suddenly horrified to see Vivian smiling at me but somehow, I knew it wasn’t Vivian in front of me now.

"Anna, I know you're there" Vivian whispered in her horrible voice and stepped closer to me but just a few steps later Trevas suddenly appeared between us and cast a black circle in front of her and from there came out the black magic that iskicked Vivian a few meters away.

Vivian's back hit the post due to the force of the impact of Trevas' shot and the post was immediately crushed and thick smoke covered Vivian's seat.

‘Anna what the f*ck was that?’ I asked but like before, Anna still didn’t answer.

"Stay here, I'll fight her my own" I just nodded at what Trevas said because I also don't want to fight Vivian who seems to be possessed by some kind of spirit that is much more powerful than me.

“You will fight me on your own?” Trevas turned to us at the same time when we heard Vivian's scary voice like Trevas's. "You're now a grown up Trevas, a long time has passed"

"Who are you?" Trevas asked and even I wanted to know who really was the spirit that had merged with Vivian and I asked that what I thought was wrong but instead of answering he just smiled.

“Are you my mother?” Trevas asked hesitantly but the one who was attached to Vivian's body still didn't answer.

"Freya?" I turned to the speaker and saw king henrick slowly walking towards us while staring intently at Vivian.

The smirk on Vivian's lips did not disappear even when we were surrounded by the royal guards who were with king henrick.

“Look like I’ve lost”

"Freya, let's-"

"Shut up, I'm not talking to you" Vivian interrupted what king henrick was saying. "You're all saved from now, but to me the soul of the woman who owns this body"

After he said that his hair and eyes gradually returned to their former black color before he knelt on the floor. Gradually, the black smoke disappeared around Vivian and sank to the floor. the same happened to the black creatures who were opposed by other royal guards and generals.

After all that, things changed for the better.

Vivian was subjected to a thorough trial but there was no need for a trial because Vivian admitted everything that surprised not only the people of Beifang but also the people of Firlame who are currently staying in this kingdom.

Since the incident in the plaza, Vivian seems to have lost her soul. He was still alive and talking but no emotion could be seen on his face and everything he said was true so it was not difficult for the investigators to find out the truth.

It turned out that Vivian was the one who sent the opponents on Trevas' coronation day and she also planned the poisoning here. Sergeant Min's suspicion that someone was betraying one of their allies was also true because Colonel Jay was also an accomplice in Vivian's plans and Colonel Jay was also the one who discredited and invented evidence to emphasize the blame on me. Vivian has many more accomplices in the plan to assassinate Trevas to replace Alastor as the crown prince once he wakes up and every officer mentioned by Vivian who is proven to be an accomplice will be included in the execution.

On the side of the people, many are bored and angry with the people of the firlames because the people of Beifang feel that the people of Firlame are underestimating them because of their plan to assassinate Trevas who is currently the crown prince so nothing has been done. the nativesFirlame but return to their kingdom and leave Vivian. Many also sympathized with Trevas' side, especially those who once sided with Vivian, which is why the number of people who support Trevas gradually increased.

It took two days before the investigation of all the accomplices in Vivian's planned crimes was completed and finally the day of their execution was set to be held in the very plaza where I was about to be hanged.

Recently Trevas has been busy investigating so we haven't talked or met since the incident in the plaza so we're still not official in good terms but now that it's all over and the execution of all the culprits is set it looks likewe can talk again… And it actually made me nervous.

“You’re ok now right?” Lina asked.

We are here now in the pond next to the cherry blossom and ventilating because it is quite hot inside the main building. We sat at an outdoor dining table where food and tea were served by a servant.

I grabbed my arm because of Lina's question. Until now, my arm is still bandaged because of the wound I received on Vivian's scythe and it still doesn't heal because it's too deep.

“Yeah…” I said, still not taking my eyes off the pond in front of us.

"I'm not talking about your wound" said Lina so I turned to her. Our eyesight was right before I gasped.

I know he's not referring to my wound. He doesn’t ask if I’m ok Physically but if I’m ok emotionally.

"I'll be Ok" I replied before smiling at him.

"Miss Alissa, Miss Lina" Lina and I turned to one of the servants in the courtyard. He bowed to us before speaking.

"His highness has just arrived" after he said no we could already see Trevas and Lieutenant Jared walking towards us.

Lina stood up and greeted them. I saw him say something to Trevas before Lieutenant Jared was pulled away who quietly followed him.

Trevas walked closer to me and I couldn't help but feel my chest pounding especially when he ordered the servants to leave first and leave us alone.

Trevas sat down in front of me before pouring tea into the cup. I just bent down and looked at my hand resting on the table because I didn’t know what to say to him.
