Alice looked at Radiel who was almost as red as a tomato.

"I can't believe something as stupid as this is happening…" Though Alice.

​​

"Listen…"

"No! I won't listen, get out of that car and let's do this like the ladies we are!" Said Radiel.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Meanwhile, Dionysius couldn't stop laughing.

"…" Alice wanted to beat this little guy but she had to maintain her graceful appearance.

Alice sighed and walked out of the carriage and faced Radiel.

"I will say this just to make it clear"

Alice signaled Ezequiel.

"Although I am flattered for Mr.Vladier's propose, I am not interested in a relationship yet, so this whole thing is absurd" Said Alice.

"Hmph! You are just saying that so I would let my guard down and you can steal my man, you thieving cat! Your tricks won't work on me!" Said Radiel.

Radiel looked at the face Alice and smiled.

"I am so smart!" She though.

"Should I just beat some sense on her?" Though Alice.

"Ok, ok, I understand, you first" Said Alice.

"Finally!" Said Radiel.

Radiel took out her blade from her waist and pointed it towards Alice.

"Take your weapon" Said Radiel.

Alice shook her head.

"I don't have enough strength to lift a weapon, I have poor health you see, just attack me" Said Alice.

"I… I wont be polite just because you can't use a weapon" Said Radiel.

"There is no need for you to be, come"

Radiel hesitated a bit, even if she beat Alice, I would be like she is beating a poor sick girl, she wasn't a bully after all.

"I…"

"If you have a bit of respect for me, don't hesitate and come" Said Alice.

Radiel nodded and launched herself towards Alice.

"She is fast" Thought Alice.

Indeed, Radiel was fast, too fast for a mere human.

"She is at part with Esther. Her stance with the sword is also good, the sword emperor, Pierre, also have this stand, of course, the speed of Radiel is nowhere near Pierre, who is a champion" Though Alice.

"Shit!" Said Ezequiel.

"She won't evade it in time!" Though Katherine.

"Sigh…"

It happened in an instant.

"?"

"??"

"???"

Everyone was stunned.

"What the…" Said Radiel.

"Im-Impossible" Said Katherine.

*Thump* *Thump* *Thump*

Ezequiel felt his heart beat increase.

Just as Radiel's sword was about to land on Alice's body.

In just a matter of seconds.

As if magic was…

Alice disappeared!

"Where…" Said Radiel.

*Ting*

Suddenly, she felt something cold on her neck, she didn't want to turn around, she thought that it might be a mosquito that will soon go away.

But time passed and the sensation didn't disappear.

"It's my win I guess"

From behind her, the voice of Alice came.

"Ho-how is this…" Said Katherine.

Alice was pointing her finger at Radiel's neck!

"You-you-you…" Said Radiel.

Immediately, the trio kneeled on the ground.

"?" Alice was confused as she watched the trio kneel.

Everyone in the venue wondered what was going on.

"Hey…" Said Alice.

"I!" Shouted Radiel.

"I AM SORRY FRO MY OFFENSE PLEASE FORGIVE ME, YOUR HIGHNESS!"

"Eh?"

"Noo! I don't wanna die so young!" Shouted Radiel.

"…" Alice was too confused to speak.

"My… my lady… please, if we were rude, we implore your forgiveness" Said Katherine.

"Okay, everyone, on the carriage, now" Said Alice.

Everyone entered the carriage and Alice sat beside Dyonisius while the trio sat opposite of them. Alice noticed that the trio was trembling in fear.

"What's wrong with you? What are you trembling for?"

The trio was quiet for some time before finally, Katherine talked.

"Your… your highness, I mean… you have 'that' power, how can we not be…. respectful" Said Katherine.

"Power?"

"Spa-"

"?"

"Space…" Murmured Ezequiel.

"The only family in all Greycastle… the only one…"

"The royal family…The Laplace family!"

Katherine grabbed her dress and a few tears escaped from her face.

"The power to manipulate space… only the Laplace family has it!" Said Katherine.

Alice finally understood what was going on.

"They confused the power of time as the power of space… but now I finally have an advantaged towards the royal family" Though Alice.

"I understand your fear now…. But I think that you are making a huge mistake"

"Huh?"

"Although my power has some similarities to the power of space, my power isn't space, my surname isn't Laplace after all" Said Alice.

"But… then how…"

"That's a secret, but, I swear by the gods that my power isn't the power of space" Said Alice.

An Oath by the name of the gods was something extremely serious both in Leitol and in Greycastle, if was said that, if you break the oath, you will lose your powers and suffer the fury of the gods.

It wasn't a legend though, it was a fact because it had happened before.

"I see…"

The trio sighed in relief.

"However, you are powerful, Alice" Said Radiel.

"I don't know what your power is, but not everyone can evade my blade" She added.

"I am honored by your words" Said Alice.

Radiel put her sword on the ground and smiled.

"I accept my defeat; You can marry that idiot"

"No, as I said, I don't want to marry him" Said Alice with a cool voice.

Ezequiel felt a pierce in his heart when Alice talked.

"Miss-Miss Alice, would you consider…"

"Brother!" Katherine slapped Ezequiel and brought him to a place where Alice and Radiel couldn't heard.

"Sister of mine, what was that slap for!?" Asked Ezequiel.

"Brother, you must not insist in this situation, you have to take one step down to take two forward, this Alice girl is someone powerful and well as beautiful, you have to take your approach from another angle" Said Katherine.

"You… you are right, but… how do I do that?" Asked Ezequiel.

Katherine smiled and looked at Alice and Radiel.

"Hehe, don't worry, stupid brother of mine, I just come with an excellent idea~" Laughed Katherine.

Alice felt a shiver on her back.

"Am I being paranoid?" She though.
