The Goddess of Revenge
Letter from the Academy

Krystal had expected from the start that Cleon would ask her that question. The look on Cleon's face wondered at the source of Krystal's power, for as long as he knew, Krystal had only been languishing in the room without any interaction with others. Cleon used to be curious, but Fred forbade him to meet Krystal who was a different sister Mother with him.

"From the devil,” replied Krystal meant to joke.

“Huh? From demons? Did ya? D-Then does brother intend to make me an offering so that brother gets even more power?”

Apparently Cleon believed Krystal's joke, his fearful expression could not be lied to, he was actually trembling while standing a bit away from Krystal. Watching Cleon who believed him, making Krystal chuckle, he laughed at Cleon's cute facial expression.

“Hahaha you are easily lied to, where may I get strength from the devil. I get the power from the goddess.”

Cleon grumbled, but he grew increasingly distrustful if Krystal had gained the power of the goddess. Cleon believed in demons more than gods or goddesses, according to him the gods and goddess never existed because he considered his life too unlucky and never tasted happiness like a child in general.

“Lied once, where there is a goddess in this world. I'm more confident that brother gained power from the devil than from the goddess,” Cleon denied.

“As much as you want to believe it or not, now we get out of this place first. I've been cold ever since I got in here. Come to my palace,” invite Krystal to pull Cleon's hand out.

The two of them walked together towards Primrose Palace, just arriving in front of the palace, again Cleon did not expect that Primrose Palace was in Krystal's hands at this moment. Krystal instantly gave a room to Cleon, in which room there were all kinds of clothes Cleon was wearing.

“Your Majesty, who is this brat?” ask Austin.

Hearing the boy's words from Austin's mouth, Cleon felt called, he immediately raised his sharp eyes towards Austin. Their gazes clashed with each other, Cleon did not like when he was said to be a boy because he thought 15 years old was not the age for a child.

“Bokah? Watch your mouth, I'm not a kid. I'm 15 years old, so I'm an adult,” Cleon denies.

“15 years? It's still a kid. No need to argue and just admit that you're a kid,” Austin replied.

“Bigger! You're my brother's concubine, aren't you? You should have respected me because I'm the sister of my brother.”

“I don't care, all I respect is Her Royal Highness Princess Krystal. You as a sister do not fall into the ranks of people I must respect.”

The two had just met but had started to antagonize each other, the material of their quarrel was just a trivial matter. Krystal shook her head, it felt like the palace was getting crowded more and more days.

“Your Highness, are you okay? Your body is very cold,” said Lucio embracing Krystal's shoulder.

“It's okay, the basement where Cleon was held was filled with ice. I don't know if it was covered in ice, when I entered the cold temperatures immediately burst onto the surface of my skin. That's why my body is a bit cold,” explains Krystal.

Austin paused his argument with Cleon, he approached Krystal and touched Krystal's cheek. Apparently it was true, all over Krystal felt the remaining cold.

“This is because of you! His Majesty so shivered from picking up a boy like you,” accused Austin of scolding Cleon.

“Already! Enough's enough! You guys don't fight anymore. Just makes me dizzy.” Krystal broke up the two quarrels, they fell silent as Krystal got angry. Krystal's anger was a sign that their quarrel had to be ended at that very moment.

...***...

Cleon's release from the basement, caused the entire palace to stir, they were worried that Cleon would give them more trouble. Coupled with Isabelle from yesterday was not conscious after being beaten by Krystal. Fred can't do much, because he doesn't want to create estrangement and conflict with Krystal. Any kind of grievance from the nobles about Krystal was not piqued by Fred, he only thought about the profit he had gained from Krystal.

Emilia is still serving her sentence from Fred in a week of confinement in her room. Emilia only hears from the servants about the new problem that Krystal created and his mother's injury by Krystal. Emilia wants to file a protest with Fred, but is repeatedly rejected by Fred. Emilia was asked to refrain from looking for trouble with Krystal for a while now.

In the midst of the palace furore, Krystal did not care about the bad rumors about her, she was busy indulging in bed with her favorite romance novels. While he was reading a novel, Cleon entered through the wide open window of his room.

“Son, did you really not sell your soul to the devil?” Once again Cleon asked what he had clearly answered yesterday.

“Huh basic! If you want to enter it through the door,” said Krystal had to stop its activities for a moment.

“The answer used to be my question, because everyone calls you a crazy demon, even people think you are possessed by a demon. So, did big brother sell souls to demons?”

Krystal exhaled a rough breath, according to him this was an unimportant thing to discuss, but because the sister was very curious, she had to answer it.

“I'm not possessed by a demon, okay? Again, there is no devil in me. I was lent strength by the goddess,” asserted Krystal.

“And I told you that there is no goddess in this world, so I will assume that brother is possessed by the devil.”

“It's up to you, dizzy me long ago.”

Then Krystal opened her novel again, she did not want to discuss any further about the strange questions Cleon asked. Then Cleon pulled up the empty chair beside Krystal's bed, he sat down while showing a serious face in thought.

“What are you thinking again?” ask Krystal.

“What will sister do after this? Against the Emperor is no small matter, especially behind them supported by noble factions that have influential power in this empire.”

“I've considered the worst possibility of it happening, the Emperor has a powerful magician behind him even the Emperor himself has abundant mana in his body. Not to mention he had wider connections with other empires, but that was nothing to me. Now we just need to torture them slowly.”

Tok tok tok tok

Someone knocked on the door of the room, Krystal told Cleon to open the door and see who was coming. It turned out that a guard knight delivered a red envelope to Krystal with the logo of Parthevia Academy, the academy where Krystal had studied.

“Letter from the academy?”
