I'm becoming the Princess?
Chapter 28

“KYAAA!!”

The voice of someone's cry sounded from within the library, yet it wasn't Reina's voice. Everyone around the library was shocked, including Zeria. “Whose voice is it?!” Zeria is panicking. Everyone rushed into the library to check what was happening including the five of them as well.

The atmosphere of the library is usually quiet, this time it feels very stuffy and crowded. And what they saw in the library finally answered all their confusion. “Uhh” Lucas did not believe what he saw.

Blood splattered everywhere, a woman lying on the floor with a terrible condition and full of stab wounds, her body lying lifeless. And sure enough, that woman was Reina Claes, Zeria's lady-in-waiting.

“Ukhhh” Zeria is not strong to see the state of someone's body like that, and Louise swiftly closed Zeria's eyes.

“This is not a good sight to be seen by a child” he said and immediately turned his body to avoid the sight. “Let's just get out” Next.

Louise exits the library to appease Zeria and is followed by Lucas. Zeria's facial features look very unkind, her face is pale and her eyes are blank. William and Razel immediately take over the library to check on Reina's body and tell everyone to get out.

“Lucas” Louise coldly calls Lucas and gives Zeria to him, “Take him to his room and calm him”.

“Yes, without being told I will still do” Lucas immediately went to Zeria's room to calm him down.

Although Zeria did know the intention of Reina from the beginning and did intend to give him a proper punishment, but Zeria still did not expect that Reina would end like this.

#Zeria Room

Lucas was very confused, how did he open the conversation with this kind of atmosphere. Zeria is devastated by Reina's tragic death, and Eric's disappearance. Though Arin said that Eric was there, but there was only Reina who was lifeless.

“Arin, where's Eric? You said she was there” Zeria really didn't understand what Arin said, did she lie about Eric that she found?

Arin slightly muttered and thought of the appropriate answer to say and was confused about choosing the right word. “She, right there” He said in a soft voice.

“Then where is he?” Zeria's tone began to rise, a sign that she was not playing.

While Arin is still confused to say it, “Dia, there” Arin's answer has not changed at all.

Zeria's mood is not very good, and Arin's answer that is not in accordance with his expectations makes the mood worse. “Arin, I ask you one more time. Where is she?” Though Arin did not show his form, but Zeria showed a creepy look towards the empty air.

“Zeria?” Lucas who held Zeria in his arms began to be confused with Zeria's behavior, starting from his mood changing rapidly, and also the aura that Zeria was releasing right now felt like an enormous anger. However, Zeria did not respond to a call from Lucas for being too busy with Arin.

“Jawab I'm Arin. I'm not playing at this time” What a terrible aura, it feels like being depressed by something that is difficult to breathe.

“Dia...here!” Arin immediately showed his form right in front of the door of Zeria's room. This surprised Zeria.

BRACKET!

Zeria's bedroom door opened very hard and surprised Lucas, with Lucas' reflexes immediately dumbfounded from the sofa and away. The instinct of someone who is always under pressure is very sharp. When the door opened, Eric stood at the door with his body still covered with wounds that had not healed.

“Eric” Lucas hugged Zeria tightly and moved away slowly, because what he saw at this time was like not Eric, but someone else.

“Bokah! What the hell are you doing?! Don't approach Zeria more than this!” Arin prevents Eric from getting close to Zeria, but Eric seems to ignore him and continues to walk closer to Zeria. “Bocah!” Arin took out some sort of barrier around Eric, but it was useless, the barrier shattered instantly after Eric touched it.

“He's right Eric? But he felt very creepy and dangerous, unlike Eric who usually” Zeria thought out loud, the aura that Eric exuded right now felt very creepy.

Eric continued to walk closer to Zeria step by step, while Lucas had already found the dead end of the room and could no longer retreat. Arin could not do anything at all, because his form was not real. Eric who kept walking towards Zeria suddenly pulled out a dagger, and it made Zeria very frightened and unable to think clearly.

“Don't come any closer, or I'll do something to you” Lucas threatens, because Zeria is terrified of Eric. But Eric ignored him and kept coming closer. With no other choice, Lucas casts a spell and binds Eric with a chain that comes out of nowhere. “Finally you stopped also” He said.

“Elic?” Zeria was relieved that Eric had stopped thanks to Lucas, but Eric was currently very desperate and disappointed.

Lucas could not hear what Eric had just said, and asked him to repeat it. “You said what?” Ask Lucas and get close to Eric.

“I'm sorry I” Reply with a louder voice.

“For what?” Zeria really does not understand what Eric is discussing, sorry for what?

“Because I failed again” he said while looking down, with the state of the body that is still terikakt with the chain.

“gagal?” Zeria still doesn't understand.

“I don't understand. Now, we sit down first and you explain in detail, but I'm not going to let go of that chain, because I'm still not sure” Lucas walked up to the couch, and told Eric to sit down too.

“I'm sorry for not being able to protect Mr. Princess” Eric lowered his head and his tears almost fell. I don't know why she was crying.

“What's wrong? You will be so if you protect me” replied Zeria. Arin stands next to Eric to keep watch if he does anything dangerous.

“Not so! You used to protect me from the bad guys until you were unconscious, when I should have protected you, but I always failed. When you passed out in the library, too, I wasn't quick enough to catch you falling over. I always failed to protect you” Eric really did not turn towards Zeria at all when talking, because he felt really really embarrassed because he could not do anything.

“What is it?” Lucas denounced “You did it! You protect my brother” According to Lucas, it really doesn't make sense. Even though he had been hurt that badly for protecting Zeria, but he still said that he failed?

“But” Eric still blames himself for what happened to Zeria.

BRACKET!

Lucas hits the table hard, “NO BUT TAPIAN!” Lucas made Eric can't argue anymore.

“Baik” Eric was completely out of words, and his tears fell. Zeria who only saw the small quarrel of the two of them, could only laugh a little.

Lucas lets Eric cry first so he can blow it all away. As strong as you are, you must cry so that all the burdens you carry feel lighter, put them all in your cry.

“So, why did you pull out the dagger?” Lucas begins to question the strange things Eric had done, and the question Lucas asked turns out to be the same as what Zeria thought.

“That, I just want to give the dagger to the Princess in order to punish me”.

Zeria, who was drinking the milk provided by Lucas, immediately choked with surprise at what Eric said. “HAH?! Did I look like someone who would punish you with that cala?” Zeria was really astonished by that, “Did I look like a Princess who likes to torture her subordinates?” Think Zeria.

“No, even you look like someone who never talks” replied Arin.

“I'm sorry” This is the umpteenth time Eric apologized.

Lucas and Zeria are so sick of hearing that. “You're this, so happy to apologize huh? Zeria, just give him the punishment so he doesn't apologize anymore” Lucas gave a very good proposal.

“Emmm, okay. The penalty is, stand in the corner of the room with one leg, and spread out both hands. Don't change position before I toruh.” He said while pointing at the corner of the room.

Eric was surprised, is it alright if only given such a punishment, “Only that's it?” Ask.

“Yap!” Zeria nodded.

“But, I've done something really big” Eric suddenly got up from the couch.

“Indeed, what are you doing?” Lucas asked, and raised his eyebrows.

“A-I KILLED REINA”
