Aries's eyes widened seeing how his sister appeared from the ice. He leaned his face in front of the camera, asking,
"Dad, how long till I reach this level?!"
"Maybe ten years."
Serenity was the one who talked this time; her voice is calm and deep, but somehow it attracted people to look. "Don't forget Father is a 9th-circle magician with 80% blood purity that was never seen before; you're still way too far behind."
Aries had a dumb expression. "I hope you weren't trying to encourage me with that?!"
Serenity's face frowned as she started rubbing her eyes.
"I wasn't... Anyway, do you still have my medicine with you?"
Surprised Aries asked ,"are you really allergic to mango?"
'More like allergic to people.... that candy was open before i took it for sure ..'she thought then ,shouted at Aries impatiently ," give me my medicine already .."
Aries couldn't really understand what she ment and shouted back at her ,"When did you give it to me?"
"I gave you a dimensional ring, remember."
"Oh, you mean that..." He pulled the silver chain on his neck, showing a golden ring dangling from it ,"…didn't you give it to me more than ten years ago?!? I can't even open it no matter how I try!!"
"Because it wasn't meant for you to begin with."
Serenity extended her hand to her brother. "Give me the ring."
Aries ripped the chain off his neck and handed it over to Serenity. "Here you go."
Serenity removed the ring from the chain and removed her right-hand gloves, then she bit her finger till blood came out, and she soaked the ring's white gem with her blood.
She placed her bleeding finger into her mouth to stoop it from bleeding.
After the ring felt her blood it changed shapes into a silver ring circle and a sapphire in the middle; she placed it on her index then took out a white box full of potions. She took one bottle and swallowed it whole then leaned her back on the chair, massaging her head.
Aries asked, "Why don't you have your allergy medication on you?! If I weren't here today, how would you manage?"
"Stop being noisy...I already have some in my room."
Serenity put her gloves back on and then extended her hand to Aries. "Help me to my room; I still want to sleep a bit more."
"Okay."
He quickly put the phone in his pocket, totally forgetting his father was still connected to the other end.
He helped Serenity up and wanted to take her out, but Grace stopped them at the door.
"Ahem...I think you owe us an explanation."
"For what?!"
Grace felt pissed and pointed at her granddaughter's burnt back.
"You almost killed my family, you bitch, and her back doesn't heal. What in the world have you done?!?"
'You won't treat me as a student, so neither am I...' Serenity's eyes narrowed as she glared at Grace. "Me?...I think you're misunderstanding something; it wasn't me who did anything but your spoiled granddaughter."
Confused Grace asked, "What do you mean?!"
Serenity's harsh tone snapped Grace back to reality,
"Vanessa, as a healer, before understanding the situation, used her healing magic on an ice phenomenon instead of asking someone who is experienced with temperature control...it's not me who hurt her; it's her stupidity that did."
At that moment Grace was reminded by Serenity, 'It's been so long that i forgot how shameless you little cuty could be .damn royalty; am I supposed to swallow this humiliation today...but ..' she looked at vanessa's back with pitiful eyes ,'won't i be able to help this little girl?'
"What is an ice phenomenon?" Mariana asked.
Vanessa's eyes widened, shocked but glad.
"It's something only those born with the cold blood may have…but this explains why my magic didn't work."
Baial got confused, "But isn't ice magic a common magic...many people awaken it, right?!"
Sylvia raised her voice at them, clearly annoyed.
"If you paid attention to what the teacher said, you would've realized it only belongs to the cold-blooded, but maybe you're just too stupid to understand."
"Enough," Grace explained. "Those born with the cold blood don't have simple ice magic but an absolute control...Absolute zero is a power limited to the ice elves' bloodline; it's a devouring type."
A student who was watching on the side asked, full of curiosity,
"What is devouring magic?!?"
Dumbfounded Grace turned to her granddaughter, "What were you teaching your students exactly?"
"He...He's from the neighboring class." She turned to that student, explaining, "Any attack will simply be absorbed, and if the caster doesn't quickly remove the channel between himself and the devouring magic, even life force could also be devoured, and the caster will die. This is what devouring magic is."
'I am sure I have seen this magic before, but where...wait.' Baial's eyes widened in shock; she looked up at Serenity.
"Isn't this just like Queen Luna Voldemort?"
Serenity said coldly, "She's my mother."
"I am just a little shocked hearing you say it out loud, sorry," Baial said.
While the other students were shocked, right now a truth hit them hard, especially Jin, who finally knew who his ex-fiancée was.
His mind turned into chaos. 'I thought she just had some influence to attack me, but who would've thought she was actually the princes...truly, I dug up my own grave.'
"Whatever…"
Serenity saw Vanessa's back and moved forward; the moment she touched Vanessa's back, ice transformed from her hand to Vanessa's back, making it freeze on the spot.
Removing her hand, the ice detached from her body, disappearing into thin air, and the injuries on her back were all healed.
Serenity looked at Vanessa with dead cold eyes.
"This will be the only time again, and you're dead."
Grace was full of anger; she ended up shouting all of it at Serenity, "It's not like it's her fault. How were they supposed to know you're a Voldemort when they, including me, didn't even know you could use magic?"
"You didn't know, but she knew, and as a healer she must know.....you owe me one grace. " Serenity said, then turned to Aries. "Let's go."
Aries nodded and took Serenity away, moving through the crowd and helping his sister back to her room.
He helped her lie on the bed and removed her shoes; he removed his white gloves and then removed his mask. He looked around him and was honestly shocked.
"Your room is...unique."
He opened the bathroom and saw the mess inside and the broken shards of glass on the floor.
"Is this place really suitable for living?!"
Serenity looked around, then raised her eyebrows. "Just enough, I guess...it's not like we're allowed to live outside the dorms."
A male's voice suddenly echoed in the room.
-I will talk with Grace about this.-
Aries remembered he didn't turn off the call and his father was still on the other end of the phone; he took the phone out and gave it to Serenity.
"Here, you take it."
Serenity took the phone but still gave Aries a bunch on his head.
"Aww...that hurts."
"Suits you right…" She turned to the phone screen, smiling. "Long time no see, Daddy."
-Glad to hear your voice, are you really okay? -
"I am fine, Daddy... don't worry."
-So what actually happened?...Why were you surrounded by your magic again? -
Aries suddenly popped out of the screen.
"Again?...Did this happen before?"
Serenity punched Aries again. "Of course it did."
Aries, rubbing his sore head, asked, full of confusion, 'In my memory no such thing happened.am i beeing mislead or something? '
He asked serenity looking for answers ,"When?! How come I don't know?"
"Maybe on my birth date which was also your birth date .....anyway it's normal not to remember" Serenity said.
Both Jevon and Aries froze on the mention of her birth date; both looked at her with shocked eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" She tilted her head. "Don't tell me you thought I didn't know about the events of that day?!"
-How?!?-
Serenity shakes her head. "Don't ask about something I don't want to talk about, but this phenomenon is related to me reawakening my ice physique ."
- Wait, reawakening?! Why did you say it like that? -
"Because this physique is different from the one I had as a kid," her lips curled into a sly smile with eyes full of mockery. "Why else do you think Vanessa was reduced to such a state... "
Aries looked at his sister full of suspicion, but with a steady voice,
"You attacked her on purpose, didn't you?"
Serenity placed her index over her lips, and with intimidating eyes and a cold voice, she said,
"Hush~...just say it's their karma."
Aries felt cold all of a sudden looking at the seemingly harmless words.
"You're truly a demoness...I pity those people."
She crossed her arms, looking all annoyed.
"You want to take their karma instead?...If not, then shut up. "
-Enough picking, kids; there's still more important stuff I need to know and work to do... so continue after I'm off, okay?-
"Got it, old man," Aries said.
Serenity hit his head hard on the head. "Okay, Daddy."
-When did you regain your memories? And what happened ten years ago exactly? -
"What happened ten years ago I don't want to talk about." Her face turned cold just from the thought alone; she looked her father in the eyes. "As for when I came back, it should be less than a week."
Jevon knows his daughter well enough to realize that it's impossible to take the events from that time out from her mouth, so He chose to be cautious.
'I have a feeling ;That year holds something dangerous. It's best to be cautious since Serenity is now back to her old self, and her lips refuse to move.'
-What happened to your magic? -
Serenity rubbed her index finger against her lips, thinking, 'I need to be cautious...some things are best to stay in the dark.'
She raised her head to the screen, saying, "The ice physique I awakened to when I was a kid wasn't complete."
-What?-
"It wasn't complete, and you tortured me like that?!" Aries said.
Serenity punched him again; he crawled to the side of the room, and she kept talking with her father.
"Just now when my physique awakened again, I got the blood memory this time, which didn't happen before, not to mention..."
She stayed silent while staring at the screen in a daze till her father's voice snapped her back.
-Mention what?!...continue…-
She shook her head, smiling softly. "Nothing ... just discovered something really funny."
Jevon smiled back at her. -What are you hiding, my child?-
"Hush~...it's a secret...hehe."
Seeing her playful just like she used to be as a child warmed his day.
- It's good you're back either way. -
Serenity tilted her head, smiling at him.
"Thanks, Daddy."
With this, the phone call ended, and Jevon went back to his work.
A rough voice came from behind him, mocking, "Are you done babysitting your kids?"
The genuine smile that was on Jevon's face faded the moment he heard the voice. He glared at the man behind him.
"None of your business."
His name is OLSEN. He's the head of the royal guards in AVALOR, a royal subject for his majesty. He has a huge build, a bald head, and a long white beard with a body full of scars. Apparently, his relationship with Jevon is more like two women fighting over a man; both are constantly fighting for his majesty's favor.
Olsen walked toward Jevon with threatening eyes.
"How is it none of my business? You already delayed our work..."
It turns out Jevon was already in a meeting when Aries called him with the special number. Jevon looked at Olsen with absolutely no expression on his face.
"His majesty permitted the call; if you have any objections, feel free to complain to his majesty."
"That's not true,stop misleading my words." Olsen nervously shook his head, then turned his head, looking at his majesty. His eyes were still covered, just listening.
He turned to CAROLINE, the woman with orchid wavy hair and creamy eyes standing closest to the king's disk. Only when she nodded did he finally take a breath.
He rubbed his chest in relief, 'Few~...thank god the old monster is not interested in this topic, or else I would've been a goner.'
He turned his gaze at Jevon,'damn you sly fox almost killed me'
trying to annoy him,but ended up angering someone he shouldn't.
"How about you become a stay-at-home dad? Oh... or should I bring your daughter here? I noticed your daughter is noticeably beautiful; maybe find her a husband while I—"
Olsen dropped to his knees, scared out of his wits; he slowly turned his head to be horrified seeing his majesty releasing his mana, playing with his ring.
Caroline had a bad feeling about it: 'Every time his majesty plays with that ring, someone dies. I am afraid Olsen is done for this time'
His majesty finally opened his mouth, an icy, low voice combined absolute authority with threat, stating his order.
"If I ever hear you mention this topic again, you have no one to blame but yourself."
His body was shivering from fear barely holding on ,but he collected all his remaining strength to answer for the order ,"Roger that."
Only then did his majesty stop the killing intent from targeting Olsen.
Seeing olsen collapsed on the ground gasping for air ,Caroline was stunned and doubtful, she narrowed her eyes looking at his majesty,
'Is it because of the noise or is there some other reason we don't know?...I hope it's just my imagination.'
"Let's carry on with our meeting since this is already over," Caroline said, and the meeting carried on as planned.
On Serenity's and Aries' end,
After Jevon ended the call, Aries sat beside his sister on the bed after wearing his gloves he asked her,
"Why is your hand bandaged like that?"
Serenity looked at her hand, smiling. "Just a minor injury; it will heal with time."
Aries looked at her, feeling relieved. "You said you reawakened; is this why you regained your elf form ?"
Serenity nodded her head, "More or less...let's just say I regained what was rightfully mine."
Aries stared at his sister in concern.
"While I don't really understand what you mean, ...congratulations."
Serenity leaned on the back of her bed, smirking.
"This is not something worth congratulating for." She turned her head at him, "So...why are you here?"
"Ugh...that…" Aries hesitated for a moment, but under her persistent gaze, he spilled out everything.
"Last night your fiance delivered the engagement annulment letter to the Alkana estate."
"So...what's that got to do with me?"
Saying it so bluntly stunned aries to the core ,"Aren't you disappointed?!"
"No, you knew from the beginning that if not him, then I was the one who would end it."
Dumbfounded by her confident words, he found himself unable to process anything.
"Is that all?!"
Serenity looks at him. "What else?...I don't love him anyway, but I might actually use this incident to my favor."
"How?!"
Serenity had a sly smile on her face. "The partners my family chose, one hurt me and almost got me killed while the other broke it himself ...so my family isn't allowed to choose my marriage partner from now on."
'She is my sister, but her train of thoughts is questionable.' Stunned by the way she thinks, "You wish."
"No, I am serious." Her smile faded away, replaced with a stiff, serious expression. "No one can choose my partner for me; it's impossible whether I agree or not, cause I know whoever they choose can never be my destiny."
Aries found himself lost in her words, but somehow he couldn't deny them. 'Speaking with such confidence is actually strange, especially when it's about something that is decided by fate, such as marriage...this girl is definitely hiding something.'
After that Aries got up. "I already said what I needed to say and made sure you're okay while at it, so it's time to go back to attend to my own stuff."
"Careful on your way, then."
He turned his head at her ,"Aren't you going to ask me to stay longer?!"
"Why should I?!"
"Cough...it's good to be back."
"Leave already; I want to sleep for a while longer."
Aries closed the window and covered it with the black curtains, covering her with a blanket making the atmosphere around her suitable for sleep,
"Okay, see you at home."
"See ya "
-shut-
Serenity closed her eyes laying on her back falling into deep sleep not untill three hours later when she woke up on her phone ringing, someone sent her a message,
-ding,dong-
"It's daddy, seems like he talked with grace and arranged for me to move out, as expected of him "
Serenity suddenly had a mischievous idea and sent her dad a message saying,
"Astrum already have a big villa in regis , i was there and It's quite comfy so can i stay there?"
-do as you please astrum won't say no to you-he replied
" thanks daddy "
After sincerely thanking her father serenity's face turned serious as she got up from her bead , she stretched a bit,
"Mmm...haaa....the rest of this day is going to be dangerously lively... better take a shower and change, then head to the stadium "
she moved twards the window and removed the curtains,with a face looking all serious,
"Today's cup of glory will be crammed with alot of uninvited guests "
