Chapter 220 13

Princess Irene and Princess Seira froze after hearing the name Azalia had mentioned. Their bodies trembled slightly, and their faces showed fear. The two girls did not expect that Azalia's acquaintance was Ziel.

"After seeing your reaction when you heard that name, I confirm that you should know that person. am I right?" Azalia smiled broadly because her guess turned out to be true. She wasn't sure before that the two girls knew Ziel, and Azalia also didn't know what name Ziel used in the Academy. But it looks like Ziel is still using his past name until now.

"Who are you?" Princess Seira neither confirmed nor denied Azalia's words and suddenly became very wary of her. Princess Irene also did the same and kept her distance from Azalia. They didn't know much about Azalia, and the two girls were afraid that Azalia was Ziel's enemy and intended to hurt them.

"You guys calm down. I have no ill will to you. If I wanted to do it, you guys wouldn't be able to live until now. As I said before, I am his acquaintance." Azalia smiled and responded calmly to their reaction.

"Are you not lying to us??" Princess Irene didn't seem to let her guard down to Azalia.

"Of course not. I am one hundred percent honest with you." Azalia nodded in response. Then she picked up the teacup on the table near her bed and took a sip. Her actions made the two girls relax and let their guard down.

"Thena?| what exactly is your relationship with him, and what is your goal in enrolling in this academy?" Princess Seira sat back in her seat and asked Azalia with a serious face.

"I am her lover..." Azalia wanted to joke around with the two girls a little, but Princess Seira quickly cut her off in rebuttal. Her reaction took Azalia by surprise.

"Impossible!" Princess Seira said in a slightly high voice. Princess Irene looked at Princess Seira silently like she was thinking about something. She still didn't understand what Princess Seira's rebuttal meant.

"Hmm? Why isn't it possible?" Azalia tilted her head, not understanding why Princess Seira said that.

"Because she is my aunt's lover!" Princess Seira accidentally answered Azalia's question. But she quickly covered her mouth with both hands after realizing what she had said to Azalia.

Princess Irene wasn't surprised when Princess Seira knew about Ziel, but Princess Irene didn't expect that she also knew about the relationship between Kalya and Ziel.

"What have you said? Can you repeat it?" Azalia asked coldly. Her face suddenly darkened. She felt bitter in her heart after hearing Princess Seira's words.

At first, she just wanted to joke with Princess Irene and Princess Seira. But somehow, she became serious after hearing that statement. Azalia subconsciously released her killing intent to suppress the two girls and force them to speak.

"Ia?|I didn't say anything! I misspoke earlier! You don't have to think about it!" Princess Seira squeezed out her voice under the immense pressure of Azalia's killing intent. Her body trembled slightly, and sweat dripped from her smooth forehead.

<br/>"I don't know anything either!" Princess Irene answered first before Azalia asked her.

When Azalia saw the frightened faces of the two girls, she finally realized that she had done something she shouldn't have done. Azalia quickly retracted her killing intent, and her face returned to its original state.

"I apologize. I was joking with you guys." Azalia smiled at them. But in contrast to her first smile, the two girls found Azalia's current smile very scary.

(You gave us that much killing intent, and you said it was a joke! I had a feeling you seriously wanted to kill us just now!)

Princess Seira grumbled in her heart and didn't dare say what she was thinking to Azalia.

"Oh, yes. It doesn't matter. I understand, but please don't do that again. You looked scary just now." Princess Seira answered with a trembling voice.

"That's right! I thought you seriously wanted to kill us!" Princess Irene added.

"Hahahaa?| how could I kill my classmate. But, regarding the statement you previously said, is it true?" Azalia laughed when she heard the responses from the two girls. She felt guilty when she saw the frightened faces of the two girls. Azalia never thought she would lose control of her emotions and strength after hearing Princess Seira's words.

"Is it possible if we forget what I said earlier?" Princess Seira smiled awkwardly at Azalia.

"Do you think it's possible?" Azalia smiled and asked Princess Seira back.

"I don't think so." Princess Seira sighed heavily. She regretted having said that to Azalia, and it provoked her curiosity. Princess Siera realized that she would no longer be able to avoid that question.

"If you know it's impossible, you must answer my question." Azalia said calmly, but Princess Seira felt her voice urge her to answer immediately and not accept rejection. Azalia's words sounded absolute like a Queen's.

"That isa?|as I said, she is the lover of my aunt, Cattleya Venetia. I thought Princess Irene knew it too when I saw that she wasn't surprised after hearing what I said." Princess Seira heavily repeated her words and looked at Princess Irene. She wanted to drag Princess Irene with her because Princess Seira didn't want to deal with Azalia alone.

"Is that true?" Azalia looked at Princess Irene.

"Yes. She's right." Princess Irene nodded in response. She was frightened by Azalia's piercing gaze at her.

"Since when did they start a relationship like that? What have they done as a couple? Don't they think that the love affair between teacher and student is immoral!?" Azalia interrogated the two girls. She threw question after question without giving Princess Irene and Princess Seira a chance to answer.

"That isa?| I don't know. Maybe Princess Seira as her niece knows better about it." Princess Irene answered in a low voice and forcefully threw a shower of questions from Azalia to Princess Seira.

"I'm not aware of such personal matters either! If you're curious, why don't you ask Ken directly? Didn't you say that you were his acquaintance?" Princess Seira answered frantically. Although she is Kalya's nephew, their relationship is not that close until Kalya wants to discuss her personal relationship.

"Ahaha... I couldn't possibly ask him about it." Azalia averted her gaze awkwardly from the two girls.

"Suspicious..." Princess Irene and Princess Seira both narrowed their eyes at Azalia's reaction.

"Okay. We don't need to talk about that anymore. Ooh, you should drink your tea while it's still warm." Azalia was forced to end the topic. She was still curious about it, but she couldn't possibly urge the two girls to answer a question they didn't know the answer to.

(I will find out the answer myself! I'm sure that woman named Kalya will come to the inauguration of the Arcuz Grand Academy!)

Azalia felt that she would continue to feel bitter in her heart if she didn't get the answer to her question.

"I understand. But you haven't answered my question. What exactly is your relationship with Ken?" Princess Seira nodded in agreement with Azalia's words. But then he remembered that Azalia still hadn't honestly answered her question.

"That isa?| our relationship is friends." Azalia answered doubtfully. Azalia also doesn't know what Ziel's relationship with her is. Azalia has met Ziel only twice so far. They could be referred to as acquaintances, friends or perhaps foes. The answer she gave Princess Seira was just a one-sided assumption. She was afraid that Ziel would never consider her a friend.

"Could it be that the person who beat you was him?" Princess Irene suddenly entered into their conversation after she suddenly remembered something.

"You are right. If you can ask like that, you know how strong that person is, right?" Azalia had guessed that the two girls must have known about Ziel's true strength.

"Hmm... yes. But, can you keep this a secret? especially from him." Princess Irene answered honestly. She felt unable to tell a lie in front of Azalia. Princess Irene was afraid that Azalia would report everything they talked about in the room to Ziel.

Princess Seira nodded in agreement with Princess Irene's words. If possible, she didn't want to have anything to do with Ziel, and Queen Jasmine had also warned her never to get into trouble with him.

"Hmm? Why do I feel you are afraid of him? Is it possible that he did something terrible to you? If that's the case, I'll talk to him!" Azalia raised her eyebrows when she saw their frightened reaction to Ziel. She felt pity when she saw the pale faces of Princess Irene and Princess Seira.

"No, no, no! He has never done anything terrible to me!" Princess Irene quickly refuted Azalia's conjecture.

"He never did anything to me either!" Princess Seira added.

"Then why do you guys seem so scared about it? Didn't we talk bad about him?" Azalia became confused with the two girls. They never do anything wrong, but they are scared like people who have done it.

"Anyway, you can't tell him what we're talking about here!" Princess Irene subconsciously raised her voice to Azalia.

"Okay. I understand. I won't tell him. But instead, you have to tell me all about that woman named Kalya. do you agree?" Azalia wasn't angry with Princess Irene's way of speaking to her. Her mind was full of curiosity about a girl currently in a relationship with Ziel.

"What's the point of asking about her? You don't have any ill will towards my aunt, do you?" Princess Seira became wary of Azalia's request.

"Of course not. I was just wondering what made my acquaintance love your aunt." Azalia tried to convince Princess Seira. Another thing that stuck in her mind was how Ziel, who had lost his emotions, could have a romantic relationship with Kalya. Azalia felt that she had to find answers to all the questions in her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

"I understand. I will tell you, but you have to promise that you won't tell anyone about this." Princess Seira said weakly. She felt Azalia would keep pressing her even though she refused to talk about Kalya.

"I promise!" Azalia answered with a big smile on her face. Her smile didn't fascinate the two girls but instead made them suspicious. Princess Irene and Princess Seira couldn't do anything about it because they felt that they wouldn't be able to get out of the room if they didn't follow Azalia's request.

After that, Princess Irene and Princess Seira started to talk about everything they knew about Kalya. Unexpectedly, Azalia listened to their story very seriously. The three girls kept chatting until they lost track of time and ended at night.

***

By midnight inside the Monarch Palace, the students and teachers were already asleep in their respective rooms. The remaining people were the guards who went around the area to maintain security at the Academy. Behind one of the palace pillars, a person in black and wearing a mask on his face was hiding to avoid the guards.

That person is Azalia. What she was doing right now was routine since she was accepted into the Academy. Azalia searched for the world altar fragment hidden within the Monarch Palace. Several nights earlier, her search had ended in vain. But tonight, she was determined to find a clue to the whereabouts of the world altar fragment.

Azalia moved at an astonishing speed towards the place covered in strong barrier magic. That place was the headmaster's office of the Arcuz Grand Academy.

When Azalia reached the front of the room, she carefully tore apart the barrier that enveloped it. Azalia didn't take long to do that. After a tear formed in the barrier, he slowly opened the door and peered into the place. Azalia widened her eyes after seeing what was inside the room.

"impossible! Isn't their race already extincta?|" Azalia couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing right now.
