The Witch and The Blind Princess

The One Without a Name

"Whattttt?!" Voices from the audiences emerged.

While, Ines smack her palm against her forehead in disbelief. Quickly, she grabbed Haidee's hand ready to leave. "Come on, Haidee! Let's leave that idiot here before we get into any trouble!"

Haidee stopped Ines from taking her hand. She looked worried, now that the knights circled Medeia. "No. I'm going to watch over her. Two is better than one if anything happens,"

Ines sighed, "Even if I force you to leave, you rather die than to leave her all alone. Am I right? I guess, three is better than one,"

Meanwhile, the hall became noisy, and the amount of insulting voices raises. The knights pointed their swords at the commoner who seemed to not wavered at all.

Aiken's expression slowly changes from façade to genuinely amused. After all, all of these candidates were trying hard to appease her attention that it makes her want to vomit. "I guess your speciality is making people laugh?" Aiken then gave a stern command at her knights, "Put down all of your swords,"

Immediately, the knights put down their swords, but they were still staring indifferently at the commoner.

"Pfft," Ailee who was covering her face with a veil was actually laughed for the first time. It caused the hall to be put in silence. For them, it was a beautiful siren's laughter.

They were in awe, that the secretive princess finally revealed her face.

They couldn't help but be proud and surprised that Ailee of Qaedel was on par with Romulus' Eldest Princess.

This is because the Eldest Princess of Romulus Kingdom is widely acknowledged to be the most beautiful woman.

Now that Princess Ailee revealed her face; Ethereal, existed for her.

It caused everyone, including all the prince consort candidates to clutched their hearts.

Previously, they were only interested in marrying the princess for the power it would give them. It was then that the men's eyes were filled with lust and they became even more desperate to possess the princess.

"What—on earth—is that? How could anyone be that—" It took Ines a few seconds to adjust her awestruck face after she felt the frightening auras that accompanied her. "Hey, obviously you are more beautiful," Ines who are still flustered, quickly whispered at Haidee who chose to ignore her in annoyance.

Haidee's attention fixed on Medeia, who seemed to be frozen in place by Ailee's beauty. From Haidee's knowledge, Medeia was never interested in any beauties. It was always herself who caught the emerald eyes.

Now that Medeia was frozen from the impact of another beauty, Haidee felt conflicted about it. She also has a bad feeling about Princess Ailee. The way Ailee moved, was familiar to her.

Walking gracefully towards Medeia, Ailee finally stood in front of Medeia with a smirk on her face.

Unaware that she was the one   falls into Medeia's trap.

-Medeia disguising as a Commoner-

Medeia was waiting for the right moment to reach Aiken, whom she was fully aware was a woman. Karis' letter informed her of it. While Karis didn't say much, the letter was enough for her to learn about Aiken's secret.

However, Medeia was questioning what motivated Aiken to pursue Karis? Nobody else was supposed to know about Karis' existence. As of now, only Haidee, Ines, Gaian, and Liam are aware that Karis is her sister.
