Who Made Me a Princess-Chapter 97

Chapter 97

Strangely he could immediately tell where the girl named Athanasia was without having to look for her. And when he saw her in the white rose garden with her blonde hair flying around.

Claude felt an unknown longing.

But he didn’t feel like being shaken from that today. So Claude stretched out his hand with murderous intent without hesitation.

Clang! Smash!

As magic was tossed against itself, it swallowed the two people. The sharp sound of glass cracking filled the air.

Crack!

The person who met his eyes should’ve realized they were about to be killed, but didn’t step back.

Was it because they were frozen in fear? Or did they still believe they wouldn’t be killed by him?

Whatever it was, it was foolish. It would be better for her to run away right now.

Claude pretended not to know the lingering feeling in his mind of hoping for her to run away.

Fizz! Clang!

The magic protecting her was clearly his magic. He laughed in belief at the many layers of magic.

It was quite ironic that he was the one breaking it.

Clang! Shatter!

Claude had to grit his teeth to continue doing what he was. He fought the questions arising in his head.

Was this really what he wanted? After he was done, could he be sure he wouldn’t regret it?

Claude forcefully agreed.

Of course. He stepped foot in the garden to do this. But…..

Why did his heart hurt, like he was about to die?

Like he would also die if the person in front of his died, trying to harm the girl in front of him felt horrible and dreadful.

Clang!

Now there was only one layer of magic left.

And his hand reached the neck of the girl. Her palpitating heartbeat traveled up his arm and he unconsciously dropped his grip from her snow white neck.

Flare!

And it was then.

The white light waved like tides and combined with the flowers to turn into a whole other white substance.

He thought it was the remains of the broken magic, but that wasn’t it.

Pop pop.

They were white shining bubbles. Claude’s eyes widened seeing the person standing in front of him being swallowed up by the bubbles.

His surroundings were flashing white to the point of blinding his vision. It became harder to tell if this was a dream or reality. As Claude was blanking holding out his hand, the girl started to fade away in bubbles.

He stretched his hand out again.

But this time it wasn’t to kill her.

No. Don’t go.

Like she had in his dream, Claude gaped his mouth in desperation. But he couldn’t grasp anything in the white bubbles…..

“Bye, Dad.”

The wave of lights blinded his eyes and the girl whispered towards him. Like a final goodbye. Like it was her farewell to him.

And the light disappeared.

Ah, that…..he had never felt that kind of fear in his entire life.

Claude hopelessly stood in the white rose garden that was eerily silent like nothing had happened.

The origin of the thing that had made him so confused was completely gone but…..he felt like he was being suffocated.

A deep loss wrapped around his throat like he lost everything he owned. But he didn’t know what he lost.

“Your Majesty!”

So Claude didn’t move despite hearing Felix and other servants in the palace call him.

“Your Majesty! What happened?”

“Princess Athanasia, where is Princess Athanasia…..”

They couldn’t approach the garden because of the magic explosion but now entered since it was gone. Felix and female servants from the Emerald Palace approached him with pale faces.

“Gone.”

When he barely opened his mouth to speak, a low voice entered his ears.

“Right in front of me.”

They all seemed to be relieved at the fact that he hadn’t killed her. But Claude couldn’t accept the fact that she had disappeared in front of him.

“Felix, find her.”

She dared to slip from his fingers. Right in front of me, just saying a goodbye…..!

“Using whatever means, find her and bring her in front of me!”

Then I’ll chase you until the end of the world!

Claude promised himself and gritted his teeth.

The white roses and the splattered red drops of blood that she left were painfully pricking his eyes.

It was quite loud outside today.

I filled my cheeks up with a bacon sandwich and looked outside the window. I could see some people standing around a wooden post.

What had happened for them to do that? I took the last bite of the sandwich and stood up to find out.

“What happened?”

I went to where people were gathered, but I couldn’t see the information on the post because it was covered.

For a moment I hovered behind them and gave up trying to look for myself. Instead, I asked people around me. The owner of the inn answered me.

“Why, you know, they stuck around posters trying to find the princess that disappeared. But after hearing that it was hard to find her with just a drawing, they’re turning on a viewing stone for us today.”

At her words, I was taken aback. But fortunately, no one seemed to notice, and people added onto what she said.

“I heard from someone who works there that they’re rotating viewing stones around the different districts.”

“Isn’t that super expensive?”

“It’s nothing, they’ll willingly do it to find that precious princess.”

“Apparently, the girls they’ve taken to the palace weren’t the princess.”

“You should be careful too. I heard they just take anyone with blonde hair.”

“Yes, I guess I should.”

I faked a smile and left the spot. Then, I immediately went to my room and began to pack.

What, a viewing stone? Just when did he make it? It had only been a while that I got over my surprise that they were handing over montages of me in this rural area, but now it was going to be in 3D and not 2D? Intense, that Claude. Did he want to catch me and kill me that bad? Hm?

Packing my things, I complained to myself and paused to listen to what I heard outside.

“Apparently there’s a lot of natural disasters these days.”

“I heard that in the North, there’s been several landslides. Why, even that Countess…..”

“And I guess it snowed in Kinlan?”

“Kinlan is a desert, though!”

“That’s why it’s strange. A few days ago in the Cycania Holy Empire…..”
