"How unfortunate"
a female voice said mockingly.
"If it weren't for the fact that you were chosen as the heiress, I would have discarded you to oblivion ice cube, but now that things have turned out this way, it might be better, I will make sure you don't dare step into Wales again"
Astella said vehemently. The conflict from ten years ago still had her heart raging with the obsession of revenge.
She cast a spell on herself, her black hair and brown eyes turned into a other-worldly pastel pink and blue.
"All the best shizuka"
said a mechanical voice behind a screen.
"I look forward to great things next year"
it said.
The next day the academy was in uproar, news of the founder's decendant rejoining the academy had spread like wildfire. It was rumored that her beauty was unmatched. Curious, all the students were at the ground, eyeing each student as they entered the campus. Aqua too had come out as her friends had dragged her out. She looked around for the second prince hoping to talk to him about what Vincent had told her about her 'slacking off ' but found him ignoring eye contact with her. She also ignored him. Suddenly there was a rise in the noise level, Aqua turned to see, an elegant girl entered with the crown prince of Ghana as her escort. She had blue eyes and pink hair and pearly skin. She was talking with the man as if he were her brother. Aqua mentally yelled at her to maintain distance from strange
Men. She seemed oblivious to the fact that he was imperial royalty and chatted with him casually. Aqua asked her friends which grade she would be in, she was told she was in 2A, the crown prince's class.
None of her business, Aqua thought and left the scene.
In class it was announced that the mid-year ball would take place on the first of May. Aqua thought she still had ten days left to prepare, so it was fine.
Coral reported with disappointment that the ccctv footage didn't show anyone entering the warehouse but said that the footage from 17:45 to 17:50 was missing. Vincent mockingly asked once again if they had done enough fooling around and arrogantly told Aqua to focus on her work in Ghana instead of slacking off. Aqua didn't understand what he meant by slacking off but was seething
What in the what did i do to those brothers?!
she screamed internally, she could neither act nor remain silent like this. If she acted, war may break out, if she remained silent, they were mocking her and insulting Wales and indirectly building hate for the ways they followed, afterall a way of life is known by its followers. Her anger had never reached such heights, she felt her killing intent swell. Her power was also becoming unstable. She went to a little pond in the forested region in Ghana she saw during one of their rendezvous and unleashed a powerful wave of sheer ice. The ice spread with incredible force causing the surroundings to freeze to an extent as well. The ice which formed was a deep red and glowed eerily. Finally calming down a bit, Aqua slowly watched the deep red turn lighter and light until it became crystal clear, the surroundings then glowed with the iridescence and the crystalline ice beautifying the creek. She decided to head home, to Wales and without realizing it, went to the main office and entered the portal. The moment she stepped in to Wales, there was a large boom, followed by another and another, which made Aqua quickly retreat. She turned to sir Bruno and asked him with dread in her heart about what that was. He quickly contacted the crown prince. Luka was injured and spoke weakly that there was an attack at three different offices consecutively. The Westalis office, Capital office and Epsom office.
Each being the forefront of various fields. Aqua's mind was spiraling into despair, the little possibility that she was the reason made her heart race, she decided not to go to Wales.
"But why?"
Sir Bruno asked concerned.
"We will have a council sooner or later right? I will explain then"
Aqua replied with a forced smile.
