I Got Reincarnated As A Demon Princess

Chapter 14 : Forgotten Memories

The breeze paced between the tense atmosphere of Blythe and Lance.

"First, I wanna get something from this. You very well know that Flugels don't give out information without something in exchange of equal value." Lance said standing in front of Blythe who looked like she's about to blow.

"C-Cotton Candy. I'll give you cotton candy!" She spoke with all her might that shocked Lance. He chuckled at her statement.

Does this girl even know what equal value is? Hahahahaha! There's no way cotton candy is of equal value to the amount of information I will give her!

He looked at Blythe again who was unshaken by his mocking laugh.

Wait, she's serious!? Does cotton candy mean a lot to her!? On my end, information about the demon royals really don't mean much to me since my father is the only one interested about these type of things.. not to mention, go as far as using his own son to get what he wants.

"So, will you take it or not?" Blythe said, making Lance come back to his senses.

"Oh, right. I'll accept the trade but I won't fill out some of the information that will most likely affect me." Lance said in a monotone.

Blythe nodded as Lance sat on the bench near them.

"Well, sit down. It's gonna be a very very long story." Lance said looking at her who was still stading.

"I-I'm fine standing up." She said nervously.

There's no way I'm sitting next to a beastly pervert like you.

She thought to herself.

"Suit yourself. Hm.. Where do I start? Ah, yes. The demon sage and master Touya has been erasing your memories left and right."

What...

"What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I mean. They've been manipulating your memories since you were young." Lance said.

"That's impossible. We all know memory erasing is not a stable spell and even if it does work, the one who gets spell casted will eventually remember after a few days." Blythe said in disbelief than made Lance sigh.

"Tell me, princess, what does your special skill do?"

"It sees a second or a minute into the future."

"Is that all they told you?" Lance said. Blythe looked down and clenched her fist, not knowing she had already sat on the bench.

"I also know that I'm gonna die someday." She looked down as she said those. Lance was shocked that she knew her fate.

"How?"

"My special skill. A few years back, while reading the history of this world, I found out that there was someone with the same skill as me from many years ago in the Esberg continent. She died and brought many people with her to her grave. There was nothing more said in history pages. I looked up every history book but none of them contained more than her dying with a lot of people that's why I didn't give much thought to it. Until yesterday when I found out about Queen Mirasol. A picture book that shakened my bare soul like I was connected to it. It scared me.. that's why I asked Miss Sevee about it. She told me that the person in Esberg with the same skill as me died at age 20 and self-destructed, leaving the whole continent to dust. I didn't know that.. Nobody talked about such history and it wasn't written in any books. That's why... I wanna stop that from happening. Stop the disaster from happening. And to be able to do that.. I have to know.. everything." Blythe said looking at Lance with fierce eyes.
