Chapter 55
PEACOCK PALACE**
After trying and trying but all in vain Nevaeh gave up and went to sit on her bed.
That damned big brother of hers, how dare he do this!!, How will she get out of here now, she was planning to leave tommorow evening but how would she do it.
Footsteps were heard and she slowly turned to see June and Oprah walking towards her room.
They were both holding a tray of food each. Well great because how will they enter?
Just as she was thinking about that and to her surprise the barrier went open for them to come in.
“Princess why are you sitting there?” Oprah asked with a creased brow and Nevaeh slowly stood up.
“How did you both enter?” She asked slowly.
“What do you mean?” June asked back and Oprah nodded.
Nevaeh ignored them and tried running past the barrier but the same force pushed her back again.
“Princess” both June and Oprah shouted and rushed to raise her up.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
She slapped their hands off and stood up on her own.
“What’s wrong princess, why did you fall?” Oprah asked.
“Isn’t it obvious, there’s a barrier here but it can work for just me alone” she replied and crossed her arms.
“Well who set the barrier?” June asked looking a bit stupefied.
“Who else apart from my brother, he kinda find out about my plans and he’s in oppose of the idea of me going to the demon kingdom to have my revenge. He said if I wanna leave I’ll have to think of how to break this barrier first” she said and stood akimbo.
“Maybe your powers can break it, try using your powers” Oprah suggested.
“My powers aren’t even working!” Nevaeh snapped and fell on the bed.
“Yes your powers might not be working for now but you won’t know if you don’t try” June said.
Nevaeh breathed and closed her eyes then sat on her bed with folded legs.
She did some finger formations and pointed it to the vortex but nothing happened.
“This is ridiculous!” She snapped and tried again but still nothing.
“Maybe you should eat first and try again” Oprah tapped in and Nevaeh shook her head.
“I don’t have appetite and I won’t eat anything till I break this barrier” she replied, sweats were forming on her forehead lightly but she didn’t seem to care.
June sighed and wrapped her hands around Oprah’s shoulder.
“Let’s just sit and wait for her highness” she muttered.
Oprah nodded and they both sat on the small stool.

OUZE PALACE**
After reading the latest news about the demon king, Daiyu found her way to her sister’s chamber.
As expected, Chuyun is always found, meditating on her golden throne, her eyelids immediately went open the moment she noticed someone had stepped in.
“Sister” Daiyu called and went to sit beside her.
“That Kia is getting more rugged, did you see what he did to the senior general of feathers palace, I heard that he cut his head off then gave it to their king as a surprised package” she said.
Chuyun scoffed silently and shook her head.
“What we should be thinking of is when he’ll decide to attack us, he knows what he’s doing, he’s acting like he don’t recognize us so we won’t do anything and when the time comes, he’ll attack us, unexpectedly” she said and breathed out.
“So what do we do, shouldn’t we be training our armies till then?” Daiyu asked.
“Hmm but there’s really no need for you to panic, he can try doing whatever he plans we will always be prepared for him after all we were the ones who took down the great Xia Meilin right?” Chuyun replied with a short laugh.
Daiyu slowly nodded and looked elsewhere.
*What about me, I still like him. what do I do now* she thought.

BACK TO THE PEACOCK PALACE**
Nevaeh was still sitting on her bed and was still trying to break the barrier open.
“Princess please just stop trying for now, you might injured yourself first have a little rest” Oprah pleaded but Nevaeh ignored.
She’s not planning to stop anytime soon, she must break this thing open today whether anyone likes it or not.
“June how do we convince her?” Oprah asked worriedly.
“Maybe we can try going to her brother’s chamber to beg” June suggested.
“What if he doesn’t listen to us?” Oprah muttered, folding her arms under her breast.
“You see Oprah, that’s one thing about you… You’re always afraid of everything, let’s just go try our luck” June rolled her eyes and pulled her out of the room.
They both got to the crown prince chamber and began looking for who to knock the door first.
“You said I was too scared but who looks scared in the both of us, tell me?” Oprah asked in pure sarcasm.
“Not that I’m scared I’m just thinking of what to say when we get in” June replied and Oprah scoffed.
After breathing, June brought her hands to knock on the door but before her hands could even reach it opened by itself revealing the peacock prince.
Her eyes widened and she immediately looked at Oprah then looked at him and blinked.
“Yes how can I help you both?” He asked with crossed arms.
June hit Oprah lightly and they both fell on their knees.
“Your highness we…
“Wait!” Rennie cut off the both of them by putting his hands out in the air.
“If Nevaeh had asked you two to come here just to plead on her behalf then forget about it” he said.
“No no, her highness didn’t ask us to come beg on her behalf, we just want to plead for her because we can’t stand seeing her torture herself” June replied and Oprah nodded in agreement.
Rennie nodded and crossed his arms at his back then moved a bit closer to the both of them.
“Do you both care about your princess?” He asked.
“Yes highness we care about her very much” Oprah replied.
“Then if you do, you’ll try to convince her not to go right?” He said with narrowed eyes as he croosed his arms.
“We have really tried but her highness is just too stubborn, she even refused to eat” Oprah pouted.
“Listen, you’ll have to try more harder, it’s really dangerous to face the new demon king and I don’t think you two can understand that” Rennie sighed and shook his head.
“The new demon King is worst than his late father, he kills without blinking, I’m sure you guys have heard his history five hundred years ago right?” He asked.
“We heard that he discovered his real identity and….
“No!” He cut June off making her to blink.
“Okay okay, do you both know why Nevaeh wants to take revenge?” He asked.
“Because he killed her best friend” Oprah replied.
“Yes, five hundred years back on earth when the bliss college was still existing, Gianna was her best friend’s name a very naive girl I remember everything about her those times” he sighed out and continued.
“She had feelings for him and back then he was still general Kia, a very tough general at the Ouze palace who was really clueless about his identity..
“Oh my God, general at the Ouze palace?” Oprah gasped and June hit her lightly.
Rennie rolled his eyes and continued.
“Gianna has always loved him back them and suddenly he disappeared for days and everyone became worried well for me I was worried knowing that he was planning something bad while Gianna was worried thinking he was not okay then he showed up but he looked really angry, he began slaughtering people, he began killing violently and then he killed her without blinking or caring” he narrated.
“That’s harsh” June muttered.
“Very and now you want Nevaeh to go there and seduce him so she can kill him, can’t you see that she is being as naive as her friend?” He said, hoping his finally making sense then both June and Oprah looked at themselves with a sigh.
“Now I’m really glad to have convince you both so go back and talk to your princess about this unless you want her to die” he added.
“Yes your highness” June bowed and looked at Oprah.
“Let’s go” she said.
Oprah nodded and stood up then they both left. Rennie did nothing other than watch them leave then shook his head again.
❀❀❀❀❀??
BACK TO THE EMPTY DESSERT**
She slowly stood up from the ground and looked at her hands, her face showed how surprised she looks.
“I’m… I’m alive” she muttered and a wide smiled formed on her lips.
“I’m alive!” She repeated, touching her body all over.
Suddenly her head began hurting and she began recalling everything that happened before she died.
And she did, the boy she loved… Wait if he was to be called a boy anymore because that was how many years ago…
“Five hundred years ago” a voice replied making her to look around.
“That’s right, it is I… I’m free, you should be dead but I had to spend years in using my powers to save you just so I can finally take control of your body” the voice sounded then let out a loud laugh.
Gianna slowly brought her hands to her head and went on her knees.
“Don’t fight it, you’re still so week plus you should have been old now if not because of me, don’t you know that you were a human and five hundred years has past, can a human live up to five hundred years?”…
The voice reasoned then continued.
“So come to think of it, if my spirit hadn’t entered you that they then you would have been dead and would have even been out of existence just like the rest but I saved you”…
Gianna is now sweating already, the pain she was feeling in her head were already too much to handle.
“Go away” she muttered.
“No, I’m not going anywhere, I’ll really need your help to do a lot of things like having my revenge and it’s not optional because you must help me”…
Gianna shook her head as it began hurting even more.
“It’s not optional Gianna you will help me” the voice sounded one last time before she let out a loud scream and her eyes balls turned purple.
The Scarlett mark formed on her forehead again but this time it didn’t disappear or fade, it just glued there.
Her eye balls begun turning darker, her brows began growing thicker and her lips begun turning darker too.
Slowly she began standing up and an evil smile formed on her lips.
“Finally, what I’ve been waiting for” she muttered, looking at her hands and body, although her face was still looking like Gianna but she was still happy.
“Xia Meilin is finally back, I might not be in my usual body because it got destroyed but that doesn’t mean I won’t have my revenge by using another girl’s body” she smiled and her face turned angry.
“You casted me out of my own palace but I’m back now” she smiled and looked around then flew up.
“Chuyun, Daiyu better be ready for me” she smiled then begun flying to the direction of the Ouze palace.
****
She finally got to the Ouze palace and smiled then slowly landed.
The first thing that welcomed her was that huge gate, infact everything outside looks like how she had left it, she just wonder how the inside will look like.
Well that’s not even a thing to wonder anymore because she’s still going to find herself any moment from now.
She finally stopped thinking and decided to go in but before she could touch the gate, a strong force pushed her backwards.
She creased her brows and tried going back in but still the same thing.
This time she tried running in but the force still pushed her back.
“What is happening?” She muttered then did some finger formations but her powers revealed to come out.
“What?” She asked herself in confusion.
Her powers are no longer working and she can’t get inside this damned gate, could it be the…
“The curse” she muttered.
She was cursed never to step foot inside here till she does the forbidden and she had exhausted all her powers on this human girl so what now?
What will she do now? Just was thinking about this, her mind drifted to someone.
Angie.
“Maybe I should meet Angie, he loves Gianna and he’d do anything for Gianna” she thought with a mischievous smile before starting another journey to the Jade heavens, she needs to see Angie today no matter what!
Finally she got to the Jade heavens and landed, she creased up her brows because it kinda looks as if they were throwing a party or something.
“How do I get in, how wish I can just make myself invisible” she muttered and crossed her arms, thinking of a next move.
Then she saw an empty vail on the floor then she decided to pick it and tie on her nose so no one will see her face.
As if luck shined on her, after doing that. She saw some groups of maid passing and as the last maid walked past her, she grabbed her and took her behind a fence then exchanged her clothes before stepping out.
“Now I’m free to go in” she smiled and confidently walked in.
When she got into the palace, her smile slowly turned to a frown. Yes she can see Angie but he was…
He was getting married.
