I will not die a Villainess's death
Chapter 113 113: A Misunderstanding [Pt1]Those two attacks were going to crash into Elysia for sure. She had no way to avoid them without using her magic.
But using magic here would be opening a whole new can of worms. All because their magic could resolute and cause an explosion.
This was what happened when three offensive-type magics crashed into each other. The best way to pacify someone in this situation was to make them calm down.
"Adam, stop. right there. There has been a misunderstanding-"
Somehow, Elysia instinctively knew that Adam would be able to stop if she pushed herself between those two bodies.
And as she had expected, Adam did manage to control the force of his magic and divert his attack the other way. The force of his magic ended up shattering the magic-restraining pillar that the temple was standing on.
Thankfully, it was only one of them that got destroyed. It halted the collapse of the temple.
"Elysia, don't push yourself in between those who are fighting like that. I thought I would end up hitting you."
Adam complained as his body sagged due. The tension left his shoulders as his body collapsed on top of Elysia's shoulder.
All his weight was pushing Elysia back and it was really difficult to maintain her balance right now.
Chrome moved to support her buckling weight but Adam's glare stopped him from moving. Seeing how Adam did not want Chrome closer, Elysia also took a step back with an apologetic smile.
She did not want the two Crown Prince to fight since it would cause friction between their territories.
Once Adam was sure Elysia was alright, he let her go. But not before nuzzling her neck to surround Elysia's smell with his own. It seemed like an unconscious action on his part but anyone worth their eyes could see what his priority was.
"Elysia, are you an idiot? Why did you shake my hand off like that and run away? What if you had gotten hurt? And what if….."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEve also collapsed on Elysia's other side with a tired sigh. Her strength seemed to have left her body as well once she took Elysia in her arms.
All her energy seemed to have been sapped out of her body after she was done scolding Elysia.
The poor Dirac girl seemed to be the only one who had no idea what was going on. Her confused expression betrayed how she felt about right now.
"I don't think this is something you need to be so concerned about. After all, I am alright and no one got harmed. But you both should think before you attack someone. It could have ended up being an international problem."
Elysia's scolding made Eve look guilty but Adam looked like he was hearing her words from one ear and taking them out from the other.
His expression was utterly blank and he was not even paying attention to Elysia's scolding. He looked content to stand there was hug Elysia for as long as he could.
And as soon as Elysia realized it, she could no longer hold back her irritation. She might not have been able to make a visible move on the crown prince, but she sure could make him take responsibility.
Even if Adam did not want to apologize to Chrome, Elysia had to make him exert a little effort to look guilty. If not for himself, then for the empire.
"Adam, I don't think you need an introduction but I will give you one anyway. This is Crown Prince Chrome Akatsuki. I am sure you know who he is."
Now that Chrome's identity was revealed, Elysia could see Eve eying him with suspicion. Her eyes were cool but interested.
Elysia could tell that something in the man had aroused Eve's curiosity which made her panic for the royal couple.
But Eve refused to move from her current position which finally made Elysia's senses calm down.
'Right. Why would Eve consider any other man when she has Adam? In terms of looks, they are both similar but Eve prefers Adam and she always had.'
Their short fight had brought other people over as well. It had caused a ring of servants to form around Elysia and the others.
Soon gossip would start and Elysia felt disapproving eyes looking at her. It was then she realized that she was in Adam's arms and Eve was also surrounding her from the back.
'I should handle the situation first. It would be bad if rumors begin circulating.'
"W-We should head toward the ceremonial hallway for now. I am sure it will be comfortable enough to get our talks over with."
No one else as much as moved an inch even after Elysia said that. Both Adam and Eve were glaring toward the new black-haired addition to their team.
Adam's weight made itself even more apparent and Elysia felt like she was the only thing keeping him upright. And Eve's hand on her shoulder was keeping her steady on her feet as well.
Elysia looked toward Chrome to ensure that he was alright when she saw it. She was not sure why or how she recognized it, but there was a glint of mischief in Chrome's eyes.
'Please don't do anything funny. Please don't make this situation worse for me somehow.'
Elysia pleaded inside her mind as she smiled a charming smile on the outside. But somehow she had a feeling that all her pleas would go unheard.
She might have only known Chrome for a few days but she felt like she had known him forever.
And she felt a shiver go down her spine as soon as Chrome opened his mouth. Somehow Elysia knew that whatever he was going to say was not going to be good.
"Elysia promised to help show me around since I am new here. I would appreciate it if you let my partner go. You see, her and I–"
"She's not your partner or your anything. Don't say words that you cannot handle or I will make you swallow them back."
Yup! Adam's mood was really bad. He was fuming and Elysia could even feel his magic going out of control.
Somehow, it made Elysia's magic react as well but that might as well have been the danger of the situation that was making her react in this way.
A shiver went down her spine and Adam's attention snapped toward her in a second. As soon as that happened, both Eve and Chrome looked concerned as well.
"Let's get out of the public eye first before discussing more. We also need to stop delaying the ceremony since a lot of people are counting on us."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElysia was not lying. There were a lot of soldiers and other nobles who were waiting for the signal to go off before they could begin their part of the ceremony and begin hunting.
But most of all, Elysia wanted to avoid Chrome meeting Head Priest Yohan. She had a feeling that they would both clash with each other and it would not be good for the diplomatic relationships she was trying to cultivate between the two nations.
'It will be better for me as well since it doesn't seem like Adam liked High Priest Yohan that much.'
Adam looked like he would protest but Eve took matters into her hand as soon as she realized that Elysia was serious.
Luckily, Eve realized that she needed to do something to make the situation a little less tense and she took Adam's arm to drag him away.
That caused Adam to lose his balance and almost fall. Luckily, he had both Eve and Elysia to keep him upright.
But there was a small blush on his cheek that caused servants to chuckle.
"Fine, fine. I am coming so you don't have to drag me like this. The next time you try anything like this with me, I won't be this lenient with you."
Adam spoke under his breath but Elysia no longer cared for his words. Her eyes looked over toward Chrome. He looked a little uncomfortable but gave Elysia a smile that reassured her.
The grip on Elysia's arm tightened as soon as she turned her head back toward Adam. The white-haired prince refused to look at Elysia but he kept on holding tightly to her arm.
It was weird to be escorted like this by both Adam and Eve. Even Chrome, who was the crown prince and their guest, was not getting such treatment.
Elysia felt uncomfortable with the eyes that were looking at her. There were too many and they were all piercing into her.
And just as Elysia decided not to pay any attention to those eyes, she felt something big and warm being draped over her head.
It was Eve's cloak that was often worn by high members of the temple. Even Elysia had never gotten any since her holy power had been weak.
"Are you feeling better now? I know those eyes bother you a lot."
Elysia had felt uncomfortable before but now she felt good. Eve was good to her and Elysia was thankful for her every day.
