The Princess is Evil - Chapter 16

“She made a pillar of fire today.”

“Yes? A pillar of fire!”

Harriet looked at the emperor in surprise. The same with Leona

I told you not to tell anyone! Leona looked at the emperor with angry eyes, but he ignored it.  ‘Ahh i don’t know anymore.’ What’s the use of living like this?

Leona raised her head with a sigh.

“Ah you surprised me!”

I lifted my eyes and saw the face of the Tower Master. Leona jerked back in surprise. The emperor’s arm cut between them.

“What are you doing?” said the emperor, glaring at xeros. He raised his big eyes,  smiled and raised his head.

“You didn’t call me to check the princess’ magical power, so I’m trying to check it myself.”

He retreated and crossed his legs. His loose hair fluttered gently.

“Furthermore, I’ll go ahead and make her my disciple if she’s suitable.”
Disciple?  Leona blinked.

“Who?”

Everyone looked at Leona.  Leona opened her mouth wide in astonishment.

“I’ll be the one getting taught?”

Harriet nodded. Leona cried out with arrogance.

“Are you sick?”

“I’m fine and so is the princess.”  Harriet again lifted his thumb and waved.

Disciple. It was nonsense. Then it’s obvious  that you’ll find out who I truly am.

“Ahh this is annoying, I haven’t agreed to be your disciple yet.”

Xeros got caught up in Leona’s words and laughed at them.

“You don’t know if I’m qualified or not. Huh? Maybe ill just be your babysitter then.”

“Yes you will, I’m really looking forward to it”

Leona said to Xeros, clenching her chubby fists

‘Hm’. Xeros patted his chin and spat out a faint nasal tone. It was at that moment that his golden eyes glistened.
“Time Bind!”
Powerful mana washed in like waves. It was a hair-shaking stream. Time Bind, a high-level magic that binds and stops time temporarily. Leona looked around in a hurry. But it was already too late. Except for herself and Xeros, Harriet and the Emperor were frozen.. But the Emperor will soon unravel this spell. He’s not the one who’s tied up with the time he’s paused temporarily.

“You.” Leona blasted her eyes at Xeros.

“You can show me your magic now.” (Xeros)

“Who told you to cast this spell? You’ll get in trouble with the Emperor anyway. I mean,”

Xeros raised himself up. Then he leaned his hands against the sofa where Leona was sitting.

‘Shit’ Leona opened her eyes, signalling to Harriet that she’s okay- Looking at Xeros, who was  still smiling. She didn’t know what was so funny to him but he was still very young. Come on, he had no respect for his elders.

“Woooh.”

Leona breathed deeply  and tidied up the leaked Mana.

“What have you done?”

The voice of the emperor rang in Leona’s ears.

However, it felt different from before. At the same time, Leona felt a sense of numbness in both arms and legs. There was no force but heavy amounts of pressure. She couldn’t even breathe properly.

“Oh, my God, Hyuk,.” I pant trying to catch my breath. He didn’t even use his mana, but I can’t believe I’m being affected this much. I couldn’t even feel how strong the emperor was. But Xeros was relaxed. It seemed as if he had never felt the power of the emperor. How strong is that human? And how weak am I? Damn it. I’m angry!

“I didn’t do anything man.” said Xeros, who had laughed for a long time, wiping the tears on his eyes with his fingers.

The emperor’s momentum grew stronger. I caught it.

“After all, your Majesty is strong.” Xeros scratched his head.

“But, wouldn’t it be better to draw your strength first?”

The emperor’s power was reaped before his words were over. The emperor looked at Leona with a bit of amazement, and then looked at Xeros again with a glance.

‘Ugh, I almost died.’  Leona thought, hitting her stuffy chest.

“Speak up. Why did you use magic?”

“That’s how her mana can be measured more accurately.”

Oh, I’m lying without even applying saliva on my lips.

“But why is the princess in pain?”

“Well.” With a smile, I looked at Leona, and I wasn’t lucky to not burst out in laughter.

“Mana must have leaked out abnormally, because the princess’s magic power is great.”

Xeros tilted his head to one side. Turning his hair over and letting out haughty laughter.

“The princess has lived for a long time…”

“Hey!”  Leona shouted hastily.  ‘Tell anyone about my age and you’re dead.’ Making a slicing motion on her neck with her fingers.

“…You will have to practice for a long time. Now, your mana control is weak.” Leona wore a satisfied smile with her arms crossed.  As a result, Zeros’ dark eyebrows knit together ever so slightly..  He frowned in one eye and gazed at Leona.  It looked like he didn’t like something.

“So.”

But that expression remained for a moment.  He smiled vividly with a gentle and soft face as usual.

“I can help.”

He reached out to Leona.. A thin, long finger fumbled in the air.

“You don’t know how precious the teachings of the Tower Master are.”

“I’m sick and I’m afraid of you!”

Leona exclaimed slapping his hand away.

“I’m afraid. I’m afraid I hate you. I’m going to learn from cage!”

As Leona spoke,  the emperor’s eyes, which were looking at Harriet admirably, cooled down.

‘Oh, my expression’s showing again’ (emperor)

Leona really couldn’t understand these humans.

(1)- there was a line about xeros’ help that literally made no sense so I removed it. Leona said Xeros help was medical care???
