V2-C47: Setting a Trap Just as the sun rose in the sky, Aqua and Sheira made their way out of the servants’ chambers. Sheira led the way, closely followed by Aqua. They passed by many servants whose whispers reached the duo’s ears, yet neither girl cared about it. “Isn’t that princess Sheira?...” “It is. What is she doing in the servant’s chambers?” “Did not expect her to be indecent with her own attendant…” On the contrary, Sheira wore a smug expression despite the fact that a rumor of her exiting her tutor’s chambers in the early morning would spread. There was no point in trying to suppress something that would inevitably reach many ears. Everyone would have their own interpretation; some would accuse her of fornicating with servants, some would call her a pervert, yet it did not matter. Even if she had done anything like that, it would be less when compared to most of her siblings. Sorry about that, Aqua, but it will be very funny! She squealed slightly as they rushed toward the palace garden where the queen usually spent her free time. However, Aqua did not even acknowledge the rumors; after all, they were inconsequential. She, Sheira, and Soleah were to meet and speak about a way to finally put an end to Lira’s scheme. Despite the boiling anger she had felt every moment that Lira took breath, Aqua suppressed it. For her new friends and adoptive daughter, she had to do it. She lifted her hand in front of her as she trailed Sheira. The fist clenched as Aqua thought of what she would put Lira through. She could turn her into a rat or a snake and force her to experience the worst moments of her life ten thousand times. Her mind could join Gabriel in the eternal hell of her own making, Aqua’s lips stretched into a smirk. My more sadistic tendencies are showing. She exhaled audibly. She was never merciful to her enemies, while those she held dear would only know her kindness; those who dared threaten her would suffer and be eradicated. After all, it was the only way to survive; there was no space for mercy in a world ruled by the supreme god. While she was willing to extend a hand to those who surrendered and abandoned the tyrant, it was such a rarity that she could count the number of times it happened on one hand. The duo passed through the halls and toward the entrance of the garden. Unlike most times, where it had one guard, the walls were lined with a dozen. A gasp escaped Sheira’s throat before she pulled Aqua behind the corner. “I guess Mom and Dad are in there.” The princess nudged Aqua with her elbow, “Do you think you can make us invisible so we can enter the garden without being noticed?” “Why?” “I want to spy on them.” Aqua blinked slowly, “Sheira…” A low grumble reached the princess. “Come on! They love their garden and they like to talk about a lot of important things in there that they never tell me, so this would be an ideal opportunity!” “Just this once.” Aqua stepped back. “Thanks so much, Aqua!” The things I do for people I cherish. She waved her hand, and [Beyond the Veil] fell on both, yet they could see and hear each other. “Oh, I can still see you. Did the spell fail?” Sheira stared at her arms and then at Aqua. “No, it just can be seen by those who are allowed. It would be a rather ineffective spell if it weren’t selective.” “I guess so. It’s very handy… Teach me eventually!” The princess giggled as she wrapped her hand around Aqua’s and pulled her past the guards and into the garden. The heroine merely nodded as she let herself be pulled by her daughter. Very quickly, they made their way into the garden. Inside was tranquil as usual, yet it was not as empty as usual. Both Soleah and Sheira’s father stood next to the mountain, yet Sheira’s jaw dropped as she saw what they were doing. Her parents’ lips were interlocked, and her Dad’s hand was on Soleah’s waist. “Aqua… I think we made a mistake.” Sheira’s voice shook as her face became red. The princess turned toward Aqua, who wore the same blush as she d
