Chapter 19 Estelles Power
I can hear voices, and the volume is slowly getting clearer and higher.
That voice—is it him? Vladimir de Russ
Oh I remember, the villain in this story is my best friend. I need to act fast. I need to change Vladimir's perceptions of this world to avoid destruction and death.
I have tried to change him since the beginning of our friendship.
To make him softer than in the original novel.
Did I successfully complete that mission?
I wasn't able to avoid him. I need to tame him more.
His blackening was concerning. I don't know what to do if he goes crazy and destroys the whole kingdom.
What's this?
I felt something warm that's holding my hand.
"Please. Let me see your eyes, let me hear your voice, or else I'll go crazy," he whispered.
What!? it's Vladimir!
*Eyes wide open*
Oh? Yes, I remember it was mentioned in the book, that Vladimir has a loyal person who's the top tier of healing magic.
He held my hand and kissed it. He looks at Hal and Ramsbury like he wants to kick their asses or something.
*Thunder!*
D*MN that thunder again, I'm sure Vladimir did it.
I saw Hal flinch.
Hal and Ramsbury left the room, leaving us two. Vladimir is staring at me, thinking what's running on my mind. I give him a signal by waving my hand upside down for him to come closer.
*thunder*
Is he proposing?
He quickly kissed my forehead, giving me an electric shock throughout my body. What was that for?
He then stares at my eyes and says, "Tempting, don't seduce me with your innocent face."
*blush!*
I'm in a daze; I don't know how to react. However, I followed Vladimir's gaze. Across the bed is a table with a sunflower plant. My eyes widened when I saw the plant blooming with more flowers.
I saw him grinning.
-------------
Ramsbury and Hal were talking when suddenly the guard at the tower gate announced the arrival of the Princess of Chrolexia. The two were shocked when Princess Althea came wearing her lavender gown with feathers at the back, looking like an angel.
Ramsbury quickly kneels and bows to the princess and says, "Greetings to the jewel, princess of the Kingdom of Chrolexia."
Hal bows, showing respect to the princess, but it seems like he doesn't like the presence of the royal family inside the tower.
The princess smiles and says, "Thank you."
They both look in the same direction as the person who spoke.
Vladimir walks with a threatening look on his face. Giving the princess the dissatisfaction of her presence.
Ramsbury quickly left the two and went inside the tower.
*thunder*
*thunder*
*thunder*
She stepped forward and smirked. "You don't have evidence of your allegations; for now, I'll forgive you. Since you forgot I am of royal blood, disrespect me again, and you'll see."
*flinches*
The princess flinched; she composed herself and walked away from Vladimir. She could not believe she felt that emotion of being afraid of someone. Vladimir is not showing facial expressions, but he sure is deadly as hell.
His eyes are calm on the outside, but there's fire behind them, controlling his desire to kill all living things he hates.
Ramsbury was uncomfortable with how close the princess was to him; however, he just treated her nicely like a gentleman, saying, "As you wish, princess."
----------------------
It's been an hour since Vladimir left, and I don't feel any presence behind the door. Which means nobody but me is in this room. Good thing for me; then shall I test my new-found ability?
'Oh, please, don't strain yourself. You've just recovered Estelle.'
Gaia, who's the goddess of the earth, spoke to me.
'If he finds out, you're dead.'
'Hey, I may be a goddess, but that gorgeous man is different from us. He is too powerful.'
I felt her fear towards Vladimir and saw how she reacted to my question. She's terrified.
'Oh my God, why are you so childish? '
"Abracadabra!"
.....
.....
.....
'ugh...'
.....

'You look stupid, you sound stupid and you act stupid. Please, don't make me regret my decisions; what are you even saying? '
'Focus bitch! Oops, sorry, I said something bad.'
'Hey! I got it from your world.'
'Anyway, listen. You need to focus, calm your mind and soul, and feel the energy in your core.'
I closed my eyes and felt the energy in me. Wow, I can feel it; it is warm and alive. Is this what they called mana?
'Now focus your eyes on the plant and think about what you want to do to that plant. Then, put your hand near the plant, feel it's energy and then release your energy!'
I want to make it bloom!
