Extra-Changing Fate

Chapter 34==Words That Are Meant To Be Forgotten==

"Have fun on your date with His Highness!"

Virgo teased, and I shot her a glare. Now that Libra, Cancer, and Pisces were back from their tasks, the teasing from all the zodiacs had started up again.

It had been a week since the King had invited me out, and I was still annoyed that I was the one who had to deal with the mess our prince had made.

Honestly, I hated this whole plan! I wanted to say no, but too many nobles had witnessed the scene in the park. I couldn't ruin the reputation of our honored guest.

And because so many nobles had seen what happened, rumors had begun to spread, getting wilder with each telling.

My sister had been treating me so nicely since then, and even the Princess had suddenly given me some of her precious jewelry, which shocked me and the zodiacs. Were they really that happy that the King was interested in me?

I'd been avoiding going out in public ever since. I didn't want to run into the Prince, the Marquis, or the King. I couldn't stand their flirting or whining.

I'd been staying with Grandfather every day, and the zodiacs had helped me sneak over there, so I'd successfully avoided the King at home.

But today was the day of the date. His Highness had even sent me a letter about it. He sent me a letter even though we lived under the same roof because I was avoiding him, and he was smart enough to know it. He was the most intelligent ruler in all of the Northern Kingdom; he had to be smart to live up to his title.

"You know how much I hate this," I told Virgo as she finished putting powder on my face, getting me ready for this so-called 'date'.

"Don't worry, Master. I think the others dislike this relationship even more than you do," Virgo chuckled. She was in Ellie's usual form, which was actually Aries' appearance.

I remembered how most of them had been trying to mess with the King's mind, trying to change his memories, afraid that I would be taken away from them.

I smiled softly, knowing how overprotective they were of me, and I was happy about it.

"I bet they'll try to ruin our date," I joked, laughing out loud, hoping Virgo would take it as a joke. But when I kept laughing and saw Virgo's serious face, my laughter died down.

"Don't tell me they're actually trying to ruin the date?"

"Yes, they are. As you've seen, they don't like the King's feelings for you," she explained, and I smiled slightly.

"I hope they do a good job with their plan," I said, feeling excited about ruining this date.

"But Master, what are your plans? Don't tell me you're planning to stay as a Silverton? You know you can't work if you keep using your fake identity?" Virgo asked.

"I have it all planned out... I want to make them think I'm dead..."

"And when will your plan happen? And how can you be sure you won't really die?" she asked, her voice worried.

"I have you guys to make a fake me, a dead fake me. What's the use of your magic if you won't help me?" I told her. She was quiet for a moment before understanding.

"That's true... But won't your admirers think it's strange that you suddenly died?"

"Don't worry about that. I have Grandfather, and if not, I just need to be 'dead' in front of them, using mannequins, of course," I replied. I'd done this kind of thing a lot in the past, so it wasn't new to me, especially now that I had magical beings to help.

"You never fail to amaze me, Master, and all done!" she exclaimed as I looked at myself in the mirror, feeling a bit disgusted.

"You really went all out," I sighed, only to get a bright smile from Virgo. "It's a date, of course you need to look good!" she said. I rolled my eyes and shook my head, disappointed.

"I thought the plan was to ruin this date? Why do I look like I'm so excited and looking forward to this terrible date?" I asked, looking at the off-shoulder purple dress with butterfly patterns that ended just above my knees.

My wavy white hair flowed down my back, and my makeup was simple, highlighting my golden eyes. It was finished with four-inch purple sandals with big flowers on top.

"I support everyone who has feelings for you, except for the Prince and the Marquis. They are all trouble... but as for the King, he is a good man, and I just want you to find love," she told me seriously, her eyes slightly sparkling with hope.

"Do you want me to settle down now so I can have your next master?" I joked, and I heard her chuckle softly.

"You know that's not it. Love is a wonderful feeling. You're still young, and this is the perfect time to find love, even if it's just for a little while."

I smiled slightly, continuing to look at my reflection, admiring Alyssa's beauty.

"Master!" I turned my attention to Virgo, who was now holding a blue envelope.
My eyebrows furrowed. I knew who had sent that.

"It seems it's from Kian. Do you want to read it? Or should I just burn it?" she asked, and I sighed loudly.

"Burn it. I don't want to see him," I told her, seeing her hesitant face. "But Master, won't you at least read what he sent? You've burned every letter from him without reading it. Shouldn't you at least know what's inside?" she asked.

"Even if I don't read it, I know what he wrote. It's obvious he wants to talk... And I never want to see him again, not in this lifetime," I replied, stopping myself from messing with my hair so the style wouldn't be ruined.

"But you can't avoid him forever."

"Yes, I can. I can just hide in Moonlight," I retorted. Virgo couldn't argue with that, knowing that Moonlight was the only place no one could search.

I knew the Zodiacs sided with him, but I didn't care! I hated love.

I closed my eyes, remembering some words from my past, and I cursed myself for remembering his last words.

'"Red, I'm sorry, and I love you..."'
