Chapter 326: Using Her Power
(From Demetrius's Perspective)
"Don't open the door!" I yelled at the mirror. "Don't open it!"
There was no point in yelling. She could not hear me. Only I could see her and hear what was happening there.
She did not open the door and sat on the bed, hugging her knees close to her chest. She must be scared.
I told a maid to get Flint and send him to me. The mirror was in my hand the whole time. I needed to watch every single thing.
The knocking stopped. At this point, only my wife's deep breathing could be heard. Flint also arrived.
"Come in and close the door," I said.
"Where is Her Highness?" he asked.
"That's not the point right now. I need you to be here in case I need to go somewhere immediately."
"Can I have some cupcakes?"
"..."
"Her Highness lets me have cupcakes or cookies whenever she tells me to come here," he said.
"... They are on the tea table."
I stared at him for a second in confusion before looking back into the mirror. The knocking had utterly stopped.
"I think the person went away, Dem," my wife muttered. "It might be a maid or so, I don't know. I mean, the King won't come here himself, right?"
She laughed as she said it.
*click*
She looked immediately towards the door at the sound. Someone opened the door with a key.
"Hello there, Freya. Mind if we have some fun together?"
"That motherfucker!" I exclaimed. "Flint, get ready. We might need to go to this place soon."
I showed Flint the mirror as well. He did not have any question that it was Blue. "What is Her Highness doing in that guy's bedroom? And why is his bedroom that shabby? Isn't he the King of Lacuna?"
"She is not in his bedroom! She went with Luc and it is Luc's bedroom. That creepy guy entered the room forcefully," I said.
"What?! Shouldn't we go there now? What if he harms Her Highness?"
"Yes, we need to go right away!"
But something happened again.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I don't know. But I can't teleport there," Flint said, confused.
"What? What do you mean?" I asked angrily.
"I don't understand either. It's like something is blocking my magic," he replied.
"What the fuck...?"
I kept my eyes on the mirror while Flint kept trying to teleport. The King of Lacuna kept advancing toward her.
He was known as a luscious person, but why would he lust after someone else's mistress? She was not in reality, but he did not know that.
Blue looked troubled. Anyone would look troubled in front of that creepy man. Just when I thought she would back away, she stood up straight and walked over to him.
"What the hell are you doing? Why are you going to him?"
"What is Her Highness doing?" Flint asked.
"You don't need to know that. Just do what you need to do," I barked.
"Wow, this lady wants me too?" the King of Lacuna smirked. "You see, after seeing the lady's features, I could not help but want to take a taste of what Lord Luc is tasting."
"Shithead! Piece of shit! Shut your mouth!"
"Your Highness, he will not hear you," Flint said.
Blue did not even care about what he was saying and kept moving her hands in the air. She was doing what she was supposed to do. I just wished she would not push herself too hard and this bastard would stop lusting after her.
He stared at her up and down for a while. His thoughts were just messed up, but it was not like his every move was controlled by a dark mage. So, he still did not know what she was doing.
Suddenly, he grabbed her by the waist and pinned her down on the bed. This time, I totally lost it. I almost threw the mirror but remembered that it was the only way I could see her right now.
"Where the fuck is Luc? What is he doing?"
Though I was freaking out, my wife seemed very calm. She calmly kept doing her own thing. But the moment, he tried to touch her inappropriately, she kicked him between the legs.
"Ugh!"
He groaned and moved away from her. No man could stand taking a kick right there. If someone could, then something was wrong with him.
"... What...?"
I stared into the mirror in shock. More than her kick, it was more shocking how calm she was.
She calmly stood up and moved away from him and the bed then smiled. It seemed she succeeded.
"You woman! How dare you hit the King of Lacuna?!" he yelled.
He used his power to control plants and pinned her against the wall with it. Then, he limped his way to her. She struggled but did not look scared for some reason. She was even scared when I pinned her to the bed using my power. What happened now?
"Ah, you don't look scared at all. I like you already," he said. "No other woman has ever tried to hit me, or even look at me like that."
"So, he is the type of man who says you are the first person to do it to me, so I want you," Flint muttered under his breath. "Anyway, I think my teleportation will work now."
"Do it now then," I commanded.
But before he could do so, there was a loud noise that came from the mirror. I looked into it only to be taken away by surprise.
My little wife threw him across the room using some kind of force. He hit the wall and fell to the ground. She even freed herself from the plants. She walked over to him calmly and grabbed his face from the chin.
"Agh...!"
"Goodbye, memory, hmm?" she smiled and circled her hand in front of his find. He fell unconscious right away.
Flint also teleported us to the room. I caught her right before she was going to fall. I had no idea how she did it, but it seemed her power was awakened more than we thought.
"She is exhausted," Flint said. "It is the sign of using more power. We, mages, use mana, and then it reproduces again. Her Highness used too much energy and her mana could not reproduce. That's why she lost consciousness. But the thing is- I never knew Her Highness is a mage, nor could I sense any mana from her."
"Take us back to the palace. Send a female spy there and make her wear the things the Queen is wearing."
Flint teleported us back to the palace. I told him to get a female spy with the same build as Blue. There was one just like that and she was on sick leave. Anyway, since it was important, she needed to come right away. In the meantime, I changed my wife's clothes and called for Doctor Dimitri.
"Wear everything that's here and go to Lacuna with Flint. He will leave you there in a messed-up room with the unconscious dumb King of Lacuna. You have to cause a scene and make it seem like he was trying to force you. Then, people will come. The worse thing is you cannot speak. So, make hand gestures or whatever," I said and handed her a ring, ignoring her confused expression.
"You will tell using only hand gestures and mouth moving that this is a magical ring and Lord Luc gave it to you to protect yourself."
"Is it though?" she asked.
"No, it's not," I replied. "But no one will check that because you will be crying your eyes out and asking for Luc using gestures. Don't let anyone touch you because you are traumatized and need instant help from someone close to you. Throw a tantrum. Remember not to use your voice because you are supposed to be mute. After Luc comes back, he will understand the situation and do something about it."
"But I was on sick leave, Your Highness."
"I will give you one hundred gold coins extra."
"Let's go, Flint. I will do everything as Your Highness says," she said, changing her expression completely.
"Now that everyone is gone, may I ask what exactly happened to Her Highness?" the doctor asked.
"She used her power," I said. "It seems her power is awakened more now. Flint said she used more mana than her body could produce and thus, she lost consciousness."
"That might be the case. I don't see anything wrong with Her Highness right now. I am no mage, so it is as far I can go," he said. "I think it will be great if Her Highness takes enough rest. Usually, when mages use too much power, they need to take some rest to recover. Sometimes, they take potions too.
But for that, Your Highness needs to call a mage, or Lord Luc himself."
