Chapter 47 The Witch's Intentions
Chapter 47
47.1
Prince Constance was riding on a white Pegasus, looking very beautiful in the bright moonlight:
The white Pegasus was graceful, its saddle adorned with a golden medallion depicting the "Nine Lights of the Sun and Moon." Its massive wings flapped gently, ruffling Prince Constance's beautiful golden and icy-blue hair.
Euridice half-sat on the grass and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Constance."
Prince Constance's Pegasus slowly landed. The prince said gravely, "Eurydesse Aquitas."
Hesong gritted his teeth and limped forward, trying to protect Olidesi; Olidesi shook his head slightly at him.
"Stand back and protect Zoe," she said.
Having said this, Olidesi stood up on his own, supporting himself with his arms, without waiting for Hesong's reply.
There was a pain in her left shoulder, as if she had been hit by something, but Oulidsi ignored it.
She just smiled, walked past Zoe and Hesong, stopped in front of them, and looked at Prince Constance: "Would you like to introduce her to me? The lady next to you."
On the white Pegasus, next to Constance, there was another lady riding with her:
She has short black hair and wears a platinum cloak that symbolizes the royal family. She has an upright posture and a stern face when she is not smiling. Her cold temperament seems to be somewhat similar to that of Cecilia Karagaran.
Prince Constance said nothing, and the lady with the short hair said briefly: "I am Bertha Caragaran. Nice to meet you, Miss Aquitas."
"Oh," Oulidisi said with a smile, "it's Her Royal Highness the Princess. Nice to meet you."
Prince Constance sneered, "Don't waste time, Bertha. Kill her."
He Song was startled and blurted out, "Oulidesi!"
Zoe helped Hesong stand up; Hesong's right leg was injured when the carriage rolled over, but with Zoe's support, he hurriedly took two steps forward: "Oulidesi..."
Hesong clearly recognized Bertha Karagaran and Prince Constance. He looked a little frightened and anxious. However, Euridsi remained calm, standing in front of them without even a quiver of an eyebrow.
"Oh," she just smiled, "you've finally decided I'm a threat and are going to eliminate me, haven't you, Constance?"
——Before, Prince Constance obviously did not take Euridsi seriously.
The first time Euridsy met Prince Constance was at the Ebrard family's Oplensi Castle; at that time, Constance only regarded Euridsy as Lorenz Ebrard's boring wife, and her last name and first name were not important.
Eurydice's second meeting with Prince Constance was at King Lucinda's birthday banquet. She punished Osborne Karagaran and, for the first time, clearly told Prince Constance, "I wish all the nobles on the Ethereal Continent to vanish."
However, at that time, Prince Constance probably only regarded Euridice Aquitas as a lady who had gone mad. He did not believe that she could really make all the nobles on the Ethereal Continent disappear.
Euridice met Prince Constance for the third time at the wedding ceremony of Princess Matilda and Alex Karajalan. Princess Matilda not only cancelled her engagement with Alex Karajalan, but also took the opportunity to meet Lorenz Karajalan, thus entering the "crown prince competition" stage.
Prince Constance suddenly spoke up, "Ever since Matilda's marriage ceremony, I've felt you were a threat. A knight like Lorenz Ebrard doesn't have such meticulous schemes. Neither does Matilda. They must have someone behind the scenes directing them to do this. And that person must be you, Euridice Aquitas."
Euridice raised her eyebrows slightly, and Constance said nothing more, just waved her hand coldly: "Bertha, kill her -"
His arm suddenly froze in mid-air.
Olidisi smiled and said, "Why do you look like a dead insect, unable to move?"
Constance frowned, startled to find his neck, shoulders, and chest slumped uncontrollably. He was no longer in control, with only his feet barely supporting him. His pupils dilated slightly.
Olidesi smiled. "This is a powdered medicine that paralyzes muscles. Constance, my Highness, think about this: I'm going to fight the entire Karagaran family alone. I have to have something to protect myself, right?"
Prince Constance was unable to move, but Bertha Karagaran beside him laughed.
"They are right," laughed Bertha. "You really are a witch, Euridice Arquitas."
Oulidesi was startled for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
There were still some grass leaves on her clothes and her hair was a little messy, but in the bright moonlight, she looked calm and composed.
"I used to be a 'lady,'" Olidesi said with a casual smile. "As a 'lady,' I once swore an oath to the master of the academy, vowing not to use the potion I made to harm others."
She shrugged as she spoke. "However, after becoming a 'witch,' I realized that being kind to the wicked is cruel to the good. I use potions to kill the wicked, which is to protect the good."
Bertha seemed lost in thought. Euridice waved her hand, "Let's stop talking about these small things and get down to business. Why did our distinguished Prince Constance and Princess Bertha suddenly come to this little place called South Hill?"
When Oridesi said the word "honorable," she didn't try to hide the sarcasm in her tone. However, Bertha Karagaran seemed not to hear it and just smiled.
Bertha said calmly, "My mother accidentally consumed the 'blood curse' poison at the banquet. As her daughter, I am very worried about her. Her Majesty the Queen specially allowed Constance to accompany me from Kaderinburg to visit my mother in Ravenmount."
Olidisi also laughed: "Oh, so, this is an assassination."
“…”
"You couldn't let the Grand Administrator and Grand Judge of the Royal City know that the prince and princess of the royal family had killed a commoner for no reason. So, instead of bringing the Knights with you, you two came to find me quietly in the night."
Bertha was silent for a moment before she smiled and said, "Sometimes, there are robbers on the country roads. They rob noble carriages, kill anyone who sees them, and then flee. This is very unfortunate. If the Baron and Baroness of South Hill are unlucky and encounter robbers on their way back from the banquet, it will have nothing to do with His Royal Highness Prince Constance."
"What a pity," Euridice sighed slowly, "I am a witch, and the robbers did not succeed."
Prince Constance, who had been silent until now, could not help but speak in a low voice when he heard this: "Eurydsey Aquitas."
“…”
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Euridice looked at Prince Constance.
In the thin moonlight, the usual romantic expression on Prince Constance's face had disappeared, replaced by a cunning gloom: that was Prince Constance's true color.
"Oh, Constance," laughed Euridice, "haven't you known what I wanted to do from the first day, Your Highness?"
Prince Constance looked at her, his breathing suddenly paused:
On a quiet and silent night, under the bright red and white moonlight, a strange, blazing flame clearly burned in Oulidesi's eyes.
That fire was familiar to Prince Constance. He had seen it in Euridice's eyes before, at the King's birthday feast.
At that time, she said to him:
"The royal family, dukes, marquises, earls... we are trapped in this hierarchical system. Many people hate not the existence of the 'class' of nobility, but rather the fact that they are oppressed, rather than the aristocracy that can oppress others. Why am I the oppressed commoner, rather than the aristocrat?
“And I’m not that kind of person.
“I don’t want to be bullied, and I don’t want to bully others.
“No one has the right to trample on me, and I have no right to trample on anyone.
"I, Euridice Aquitas, will always be a citizen of the Ethereal Continent like everyone else. I will never become the most noble of nobles.
“What I want to do is to make sure that all citizens like me will never be trampled upon again; and to make sure that you nobles who boast of your noble bloodlines will never trample upon others again.
"I will destroy this ridiculous ladder of nobility, shatter it, and vanish it. I will completely eradicate this rotten and fetid system of hereditary bloodline succession from the Void Continent. From now on, people will look upon each other as equals, no longer distinguishing between high and low based on birth."
Prince Constance looked at Euridsi, and in a trance, Euridsi's resounding voice rang in his ears again.
There was such a strange, blazing fire burning in her eyes as she spoke these words.
That might be the fire of revenge; however, that "revenge" was not just for herself, nor was it directed solely against the Ebrard and Karagaran families.
That was for herself, and for all the common people in the Void Continent who were oppressed by the nobles because of their blood, lineage and origin.
Just like her name, this is greater justice and greater revenge.
Prince Constance looked at her, and for the first time a crack appeared in his expression of arrogance and contempt.
"Are you really going to do this..."
Euridice tilted her head and smiled. "When I opposed Duke Caragaran, killed Alex, and exiled Osborne, you didn't risk assassinating me. When I secured titles for the three illegitimate sons, Hersong, Eustace, and Simon, and fought against Lady Agnes, you didn't risk assassinating me. However, now, you come to assassinate me. Why, Constance?"
As she spoke, she slowly took a step forward.
"You suddenly come here to assassinate me," she said softly, "Is it because... you finally realize the true meaning of 'Witch's Grace'?"
