CHAPTER 248:

“What do you mean my scar is gone? I made sure…”

I let the sentence drop and ran to the mirror. When I gave myself that scar I made sure it would be impossible to remove it. Even the surgeons said they are unable to do anything. How can it disappear all of a sudden? But despite that, looking at my own reflection, there was not a trace of the once ugly scar. The smooth skin looked almost unnatural to me and the symmetrical features seemed like I was looking at a stranger.

“Nao-chan, you look so beautiful. This is truly a blessing.”

A blessing? How can this be a blessing? It is already hard enough to keep the flies away with my ruined appearance, if this starts causing more trouble, I don’t know what I will do.

“Did Thanatos-sama do this? But why now?”

“No matter who did it, you should be happy. But right now, there are some issues that I have to deal with. It seems that the Royal Family of Vilikis needs to change.”

I looked at Vitou who was burning with rage. Such anger surprised me. I knew he had some feelings for me, but I didn’t think it was to this point. He really did a lot for me lately, and while I am still against the marriage, I think I will be fine treating him as a genuine friend.

“Vitou, calm down. There is no need to do anything now. Tomorrow we will leave Tiremia. Three days later, the King will understand what the word regret means. Don’t involve unnecessary people in your revenge.”

Someone dared to plot against me, disguising his schemes under goodwill. The King obviously knew the final outcome that item would bring and still gave it away. Very good, since he dared to hurt me, I will make him faint in frustration.

“What are you planning on doing? Your smile is giving me the creeps.”

“Just wait and see.”

Just like that, we decided to leave. The next morning we bid goodbye and set off for Elicia. That evening when we decided to rest for the night, I took out my prize and inspected it. Since I didn’t know if the Sword of Fire had any special traces that could be tracked, I made sure to clear away all foreign aura and put up a barrier around me before taking it out of inventory.

[Rainbow Blade – Ruby] Rank: Legendary

A sword forged by Hephestos for goddess Iris. It was bathed by the strongest fires and infused with essence of flame

*SKILL – Eruption: calls forth the fire of the planet and erupts it with great heat melting everything around it

*SKILL – Cleansing flame: burns impurities within materials. If cast on magic, burns the magic person is influenced with.

The effects are really good. Eruption can be used to deal with a lot of enemies at once, while the other skill can be used similarly to the way Amethyst can be used to cut magic. However, this skill can be more helpful with curses.

“Nao-chan, are you asleep.”

The knocking on the door startled me and I quickly put away the sword. Vitou opened the door and peeked inside.

“Just come in, no need for sneaking. I am still awake. What do you need?”

This time Fulgy went out to do something, so he wasn’t here with me. If he was, I am sure another fight would break out between him and Vitou. He walked in and sat down on the bed right next to me. I was surprised with his boldness, but I didn’t reject him. He should be aware of his boundaries.

“Why did you let them go? They tried to hurt you more than once. This is not your usual self, so why are you being this calm?”

He was looking deeply into my eyes as if trying to figure out my very essence. I was worried my Charm skill would affect him, but this time the one that fell into a daze was me. I couldn’t think of anything and completely lost myself. I am always at odds with him and pushing him away, but overall he is not a bad person. He does have his flaws, but he really puts a lot of value on his people and cares about them.

Looking at him like this, I had to admit he was nice. Not just his looks, even his demeanor was top notch. Aside from him marrying me against my will, everything he does is for the sake of protecting his people. I couldn’t help but think that one day he will become a good king. At least better than his father who, while being a good ruler, seems to have too much greed for power.

When I recovered, I felt my cheeks were burning and for a moment my heart skipped a beat.

“I am not calm. I am merely waiting to strike back. How about you join me in my revenge? I originally planned on going alone, but bringing you along might help you vent some of your frustration.”

“Oh, care to tell me your plans?”

He smiled mischievously. And immediately I smiled in return. I knew that he really wanted to do something, so I didn’t hide anything and told him my plans for revenge.

“Tomorrow, at this time, the two of us will be paying a visit to the Royal Treasury of Vilikis. I feel it is too stuffy in there and needs good venting and cleaning. Naturally, we would not be doing this job for free. The pay will be taken from the room.”

“Haha, I knew you wouldn’t take this lying down. Count me in. I will support you, so you can go and rampage all you want once we get there.”

He seemed in a much better mood than when he first arrived here. He got up and left after saying goodnight to me. I thought for a second and ran up to him and gave him a hug and a small peck on the cheek. I turned around and rushed back to my room after leaving him with sincere words.

“This is my thank you for everything that you did for me lately. I really made you worry a lot. Good night.”
