"Hm? Help you?" Aria sighed. "I wish I could help. If it were the past me, I could’ve probably done it, because I have been blessed with the Holy Power of the Goddess. Truthfully, I am the Saintess."
Alice’s eyes widened.
She knew about the Saintess from legend. The Saintess was the incarnation of the Goddess of the Sun, and she was meant to balance out the incarnation of the Goddess of the Moon.
Selene, the Goddess of the Moon, had bestowed the Beast King half of her power. Thus, that meant the Saintess was meant to be his fated mate, right? It was just a theory in Alice’s mind, but if she was right—and she was often right—that meant Princess Aria was...
"P-Princess, you are..."
Aria sighed pitifully, "Yes, I was the actual mate of the Beast King. The sun and the moon exist to complement each other, right? It’s written in the legend. But my power was still weak, and I couldn’t defeat the witch," Aria said as she flipped the situation between her and Swan. She knew this bunny was a total idiot, and would believe anything she said simply because she hated Swan’s gut.
Alice was on the verge of tears. Of course, she wanted the Beast King to find his fated mate. But it was mostly because she wanted Swan to get out of the picture. It would be better if she got executed for daring to seduce His Majesty.
"You might not believe me, but Holy Achate has a tradition where one of the King’s daughters would become the Saintess. Now, between Swan and I, which one do you think deserves to be graced with holy magic?" Aria asked.
"Of course, it’s you, Princess!" Alice replied without hesitation. "That woman is crippled. She must’ve been cursed by her own evil spell. Ugh, it makes me angry to think that a cripple like her can manipulate His Majesty!"
"Right?" Aria almost burst out laughing seeing how ignorant this bunny truly was. She would be a perfect tool for Aria. "Swan has always been hostile towards me. She has been crippled from birth, so she wants to make me suffer due to jealousy. She gets so angry when she realizes that I’ve become a Saintess, and she decides to learn witchcraft. She’s so powerful that I can’t beat her alone."
"Then I will do my best to help you, Princess!" Alice volunteered in full determination.
’Oh, this bunny is so easy. I’m glad there’s an idiot like this in this castle,’ Aria thought as she maintained her sad expression. "But you seem to be having trouble as well in this castle."
"That—I—"
Alice felt ashamed as she lowered her head.
