"I can't do that," the priest said, and I laugh wickedly.
"You can't?" I step on his hand, and he scream in pain. Who cares if the highest priest hear this man screams, he's a fucking sick ass psycho.
I am just changing here peacefully, and someone like him will ruin my peace?
And I am being harassed right now, even he's a priest, he has no right to peek at someone who is just changing peacefully.
"An eye for an eye. If you can't then, you will do it on your own." I smiled and he opened his eyes, panicking and he twitched when his eyes met mine.
This is what I hate to people, when they think that they can manipulate you, control you. They will definitely take advantage of the weakness of each person.
He didn't talk, and I am looking at him, watching him to raise his hand, I saw fear to his eyes. But his body is moving at the way that I want to.
I feel it, he's struggling, trying to stop himself, but he can't. I am way too powerful than him, and he knows that.
He slowly touched his eye, there's a tears in his right eye, the fear in his eye is getting stronger, and the way that he is moving, he's trying all of his might to stop me from controlling him.
He get his one eye, using his own hand, placing the right eye to my feet, while the second one is about to be extract, when I stop controlling him, his right eye is bleeding now. Bleading tears, what a nice sight of mine.
I can't help, but to laugh wickedly, that's what he deserve, after harassing me and acting like he didn't do anything wrong to me.
"What now, can't handle your mistake?" I said while he is still crying right now.
"Can't you see, you made a mistake right now. You're assaulting me, peeking while I am changing? That's a mistake. Can't you see that I am a princess?" I said and his one eye is looking at me, the fear in his eyes was there.
He is unavailable to talk because he's under my manipulation, and all he can do right now is to show his reaction with his eyes.
How poor creature he is. He can't stop me, because he's weak. And being weak is also a curse.
"That's enough, Delaney, your royal highness." The highest priest was behind me, he look at the priest and his eyes are asking for help.
But I don't want to stop, I want him to learn his lesson, and learning his lesson means impossible, so maybe killing him is the better solution, I guess.
"Stop that, it's a huge mistake to harm the priest." I rolled my eyes and smirk at him.
"He just peaked, while I am changing, what do you want me to react?" I said and he looked surprised on what I said.
"Like to be fair, I am vulnerable lately, and it's a clear harassment that he is peaking." I explained more and he looked at the priest.
"Speak your truth." I said and the priest looks terrified now.
The highest priest went closer and ask some questions now.
"It's that true, what the princess said, that you peak while she is changing?" He asked nicely, and the priest is crying in pain, due to the lost of his right eye.
"Y-yes. I did peak while she is changing, because I didn't know that it's the Princess Delaney who is changing." The highest priest looks stressed and problematic when he heard what the priest said.
I let go of him, under my manipulation and he lost his consciousness.
"I won't tell my fiance about this incident, because I know that he will do everything to kill that, even he is a priest." I said and didn't look at the reaction of highest priest.
"I'm so sorry from what he did to you, I swear that I didn't mean to sound like I am defending him from you, but I will do anything to make things right." He explained and I rolled my eyes, again.
"There's no need to do anything, just make sure that this incident won't happen again, because what if a normal person is being harassed like this, and has no ability to speak for their truth, what are you gonna do about it?" He looked down, and didn't respond to me.
"I'm really sorry, I promise to do what I need to do." I nod and patted my gown, he offers his hand on me and remembered that he asked me to have some tea right now.
Even I am not in the mood to entertain him, I have no choice but to entertain him and talk about what he wanted to talk about.
I walked with him until we reached the receiving area of his place. No one is here, I don't know where is the other people, or he instruct his people to vanish while I am here at the cathedral?
"After you, your majesty." He opened the door for me, and I sit down at the sofa, and there's a food and tea there.
"Princess Delaney, it's nice to meet you here even what happened at the changing room, I am really sorry and I hope that incident won't affect our relationship." He sit down in front of me, and I look straight at him.
"It won't, I am just a little bit disappointed on your reaction." I said bluntly and prepare the tea and he looks embarrassed on what I just said.
"It won't happen again, don't worry." He keep reassuring me and I just shrug my shoulder. While preparing the tea.
"By the way, what is the purpose of this invitation?" I asked and looked at him.
"I am curious to your ability, wanna see it with my own eyes, and I just saw it lately." He said and I gave the tea to him.
"Why you're curious about my curse, actually it's a good thing that a few people isn't affected by my curse. How is it possible, can you tell me?" I said, even though I already know why, I want to hear his opinion about it why other people isn't affected by my curse.
"Maybe, it's because of how the curse works?" He get the tea cup and sip.
I nod and lean back at the sofa.
"I noticed that if the people has bad intentions, they are the most victims of my curse, but if the people doesn't have any bad intentions to me, the are safe." I looked around the place, I feel that there is someone who is watching near us.
He also stopped talking and look around.
The highest priest snap his fingers and the whole place stops. It's like he created a room, and I saw a man at the ceiling of the room. He was there, looking to my eyes, and I got him.
"Show yourself." I said and highest priest finally let the whole place in normal state, and the invader show himself now.
He look lifeless, means he can't resist to my curse.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?" I asked him, and he twitched, now he started to resist from my spell, and the highest priest looks around.
"Who instructed you to be here?" I asked and he nod.
"Priest Nobelino." He said and the highest priest looked disappointed now. Maybe he didn't expect that, or that name is the priest who is peeking lately.
"Kill yourself." I said and stand up, he started to stab himself and the highest priest also stand up.
"Leave it to me, I will clean the mess, your highness." He walk hurriedly and snap his fingers again, but my place wasn't stop.
I watched him walk away and the spy was dead now, he is laying at the floor and the blood is spilling all around the floor.
I want to go home now, this is making me uncomfortable and this isn't what I want to see here.
I rather go home, so I decided to walk away from the tea room, and finding my way to get out of the cathedral.
I finally found the big door, and it's closed. I don't know why I feel worried and conscious, is there someone there, watching me?
"Princess Delaney," a highest priest called me, and a lot of blood at his face and hand.
It seems that he murdered people with his bare hand, and when he noticed that I am looking at his hands, he hide it like a small kid.
"You're leaving already?" He asked and I nod. But still looking at his whole body. A lot of blood to his dress.
"Yeah, I have to go now." I said and he touched my hand, gently kiss it and looking at my eyes.
Thos eyes tell that he is eager, like on what?
"Please visit here if you have some time," he said after kissing my hand.
"I will, but I think I will become more busier than ever." I replied and he nod. "I can wait for you." He said and stand up.
Showing his smile and I am kind of worried on how he act right now. His eyes is black, I just realized that his eye is similar to the dead eye.
Means no reaction, like mine.
"I can wait for you, but if I can't anymore. I will come to you." I nod and he opened the door for me, before Lady Criseta and Sir William was at the door, waiting for me.
They look worried and when they saw the highest priest, they look alarmed. Maybe it's because of the blood to his clothes.
I raised my hand, to calm them until I reached where they are standing now.
"Until we meet again, Princess Delaney." He bowed and I just waved my hand.
"What happened to him, why he has a lot of blood to his clothes, why it looks like he murder someone?" I looked at Sir William until we reached the carriage.
"That's true, he murdered someone, and that someone is a priest who peek while I am changing lately." They looked even more surprised that the highest priest did that because of peeking incident.
"But don't worry, I am totally fine." I smile to them, but it seems that they are not believing any words that came out of my mouth now, like why?
"He also saved me to kill the priest, I just remembered that I can't lay my hand at the priest, it will be a grave mistake but doing it, but only the highest priest can kill his men once their innocence was not proven." The carriage stop at the gate of cathedral.
Sir William opened the door of carriage and I sit down, Lady Criseta still looked worried and offered the water to me. I gladly accept it, and drink the water that she just gave.
I didn't realized that I am so thirsty, maybe it's because of I used my mana and didn't noticed it because I am mad and I want to kill that pervert priest.
But above all. I will be alright, soon.
"Thanks for the water, I didn't notice that I am thirsty." I gave back the container and look at the trees. Maybe a little stroll at the Itumg isn't a bad idea at all.
I want to check the local stores before I go home. Or stay here for one night, before going home.
"Let's stay here for the night, before going back to the capital." I said and they look happy.
I also want to experience the night time at the other place, stay there and socialize with other people.
"Let's have a great time here," I said before we stoped at the inn.
...
"Goodnight, have a great sleep." I turn off my lights and Lady Criseta closed the door of my room.
I waited for a little time, and changed my clothes that I brought lately, when I shopped at the local stores.
I also wear some robe, so I can hide while I am walking around the street. There's a festival here, and I want to check out the stores where the merchants will only open at night.
I got my money and I didn't wear my eye silk. Because if I did, people might notice it even I am already wearing some robe.
I sneak outside the inn and walk around the street, how cheerful the streets are, and the people are calling you out to check their items.
I am excited to see the other stores, and to buy other things aside from what I brought lately.
"Sorry!" I didn't noticed that I justt bumped into someone, and I almost fell. But he catches me and now, he is holding my waist, and looking straight to my eyes.
"Princess Delaney?" He said and I started to panicked, because I don't know or notice who is this man, he know me but I don't him. That's why I am worried right now.
"It's not safe that you're here, without you guards, where is Sir William?" He asked and I didn't know how to answer his questions, maybe he noticed that I am confused, that's why he kneel after hiding my face at the robe that I am wearing.
"I am Warren, the owner of biggest merchant at the capital, and I am also the one who is controlling the market. It's nice to meet you, your highness." He kissed my hand and looking straight to my eyes. I didn't know where I met him.
But I just smile to him and I don't know why a lot of ideas came out of my mind.
"It's nice to meet you, Sir Warren."
