Chapter Vol. 2 Ch. 123
After listening to Menna’s lengthy narrative, Violet finally understood the entire cause and the behind-the-scenes details.
However, more than the main story, what the priestess was more concerned about was...
“So, you can really predict the future?”
Although there had been similar speculations before, hearing it firsthand brought a kind of “Wow, this world is truly magical” shock to Violet.
“Then, take a look at me. What does my future look like?”
Violet pointed at herself, showing a curious expression of “What about me, what about me,” not even paying attention to the cream tart in her other hand.
Princess Menna smiled and shook her head slightly. Perhaps due to the frequent use of the “Revelation” to predict the future, she had seen too many hearts and possibilities of people that didn’t belong to her age. Despite being only 12 years old, she appeared quite mature.
If Violet had to describe it, it felt like the mysterious and unpredictable aura of a fortune teller in manga or movies.
“Unfortunately, Miss Visitor, I cannot see. As I mentioned before, anyone related to you will make the future unclear, not to mention yourself.”@@@@
Menna lifted her head and looked into the black-haired girl’s gem-like silver-blue eyes. Under normal circumstances, the “Revelation” would take her into another illusionary space, revealing the possibilities belonging to that person on the World Tree.
Regardless of how many futures she saw there, in reality, it was just a brief moment, similar to Violet’s experience of watching others’ memories.
But just like the result of Menna’s several discreet attempts, what she could see from those beautiful eyes was only countless dazzling golden lights to the utmost brilliance.
In the next moment, Menna was squeezed out of that world by an overwhelming radiance, her face suddenly turning pale.
“Uh, you just...”
Just now, Violet did feel a sensation as if something was peering at her, but it lasted for an extremely short time and quickly disappeared.
*Cough cough...*
After coughing a few times while holding her chest and drinking another large cup of warm tea, Menna’s complexion finally improved.
“Yes, just now I prayed to the gods for a ‘Revelation’ about you, but still, I gained nothing. Honestly, among all the beings I have encountered so far, only you, the Visitor,’ have presented such a situation.”
“Well, that’s a shame... By the way, don’t keep calling me a Visitor, it sounds weird. Just call me Violet.”
Violet actually understood that Menna had never actively incited the riot. While she adjusted Ben’s plans while he was in prison, in reality, without the intervention of the young princess, more people would have died that night.
Someone was just upset about feeling manipulated and deliberately made provocative remarks.
Even when she met Ben, she had a rough understanding of the situation. If Violet wanted, she could completely disrupt Menna’s plans.
“Regarding this matter...”
Menna stood up, as if she had already anticipated everything. She bowed at almost a 90-degree angle, lowering her noble head belonging to the royal family.
“I know this is a great offense to you. I also bear a certain responsibility for the innocent victims who died. But besides this, I couldn’t find a better solution... I’m truly sorry. If Miss Violet is still dissatisfied, you can take my life, and Menna will have no complaints.”
The young princess’s words were sincere, and when she planned all of this, she probably had already prepared to pay the price.
The priestess did not immediately respond but calmly turned the question back.
“You can see the future, right? So, before saying these words, did you know whether you would survive afterward?”
Remaining silent, the little girl and the emotionless silver-blue eyes of the black-haired girl locked gazes for a moment. In the end, Menna shook her head.
“I can’t see it. The future is blurry, or rather, until I get your decision, Menna Melchior’s future cannot be observed at all.”
“Is that so...”
Raising her hand, Violet slowly reached towards the young princess’s forehead. Violet could feel that Menna’s body was trembling slightly. Clearly, she wasn’t as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Perhaps she felt terrified about the unseen future or simply feared death.
Seeing this, Violet smiled.
In the end, she just lightly tapped the smooth forehead of the girl, eliciting a cute exclamation.
“Yi!”
“It seems that your heart hasn’t turned into a cold monster by those ‘possibilities.’ I’ll forgive you this time. Make good use of this ability to assist Lilya.”
Pausing for a moment, the priestess looked at the pitiful, teary-eyed blue-haired little girl and chuckled.
“If you have the chance, confess these things to Lilya. I think... she will understand you.”
