Chapter 73 - 73: She's Not Fine(6)
"All hail the mighty dragon Igneel!!!!"
"Mama, I want to see too." the little kid holding their mom's end of shirt pestering to be lifted up to get a better view of the savior dragon of the empire.
"Alright, mama will carry you--" the mother reached her hand to carry her son but a man with the black cape bumped her shoulder out of a sudden. He bowed down his head apologizing to the woman and continued on his way.
The woman looked dumbfounded staring at the man's back feeling like she saw him somewhere before. The man turned himself at the corner walking at the alley full of trashes.
He put down his hat with his eyes set upon the woman with bloody red hair laid down to her waist with the book she held pressed against her chest.
The woman smirked when glancing her eyes at that man with the pair of golden eyes full of suspicion of her.
"You really come...sir Victor."
"I don't know who you are, but you'd better prepare yourself if something happens to Marinette."
That woman walked slowly to Victor and said to him in a low seducing voice, "Didn't I drink that in front of you?? I really told you the truth, I was the one who picked that bottle of potion."
Victor frowned taking a step back from that woman but that woman kept walking toward him and handed him a book.
"I followed you for quite some time, I'm pretty sure you love that woman, don't you??"
"It's none of your business." Victor dropped the book on the lid of the trash can and put his hat back on in a hurry to catch up with Marinette.
But a hand grabbed his black cape from behind and the book suddenly levitated from the ground showing its content right in front of Victor's eyes.
"Isn't it sad...loving one-sidedly?? She can be yours...if you do what it is written in this book..." her eyes lit up in the alley covered by the shadow of the balcony.
"..." Victor didn't say anything but his mind was already set when he grabbed that book and put it in his bag.
Her grin was satisfying when her plan was going well seeing the black-haired commander make his way to his beloved crush who soon become the new destruction.
A loud laugh escaped from her lip as she brought out the real antidote from her secret pocket, she then poured each and every drop of it into the sewer.
But her eyes soon turned crescent when she noticed the thousand years rival's presence. She clicked her tongue frowning her eyebrow as she cast the barrier around her entire body as the footstep turned louder and louder.
"Aimila...you'd better behave yourself. This is the last warning." the voice came from the pinky lip of the white-haired woman shorter than her, the destruction.
Her size fooled the destruction once, and she almost got killed by that little woman. But there was no second time.
"Long time no see, Vin~" her eyes didn't react the same way as she was smiling at the woman who was even more powerful than her.
"I turned a blind eye on you many times, but my words didn't seem to be effective on your little brain." their cold blue eyes glared at each other, the trashes burned to ashes as those two were testing their power fighting each other just by staring.
"I only came here to enjoy the human world for a little bit."
"Enjoy the human world?? The last time you did that, I had to destroy an entire world. I don't wanna be a bad person, you should tell me where is your disciple?? And destroy that potion you gave to Marinette."
"That's kinda a lot of favor...and are you even a person??" seeing her carefree attitude full of audacity. Vin no longer ignored all the trouble she caused and set the barrier in an instant.
"If Marinette becomes the next destruction, I'll kill you first...Aimila."
"And why is that?? Why can't you kill me right now??? It's because you can't."
"Don't provoke me, you insolent fool."
"You can't!!! You can't touch me or kill me as long as I'm on the character list. HAHAHA, I figured it out!!!! You can't--" her smile dropped when her head hit the ground rolling to the feet of the superior being.
"It's true that I can't kill any of you characters by my own hands, but don't misunderstand...I still have the power to influence your fate." Vin dropped the barrier taking her book of list out as she opened the portal and threw the head of the destruction inside the portal with the view of the snowstorms.
Vin fell down on the ground after casting the destruction away from Marinette, the necklace, ring, and bracelet lit up at the same time. A second later, the smoke came out of it as all the orbs on that jewelry had a crack.
A bunny came out of the necklace floating in front of Vin with a nervous expression, it screamed in worry when seeing Vin bleeding, "Master, you can't continue using these three powers...you'll die."
"I'm fine, Coco. Tell the other two I'm fine." Vin patted the bunny's head smiling at it. Her hand dropped to the ground as she was exhausted.
Keeping Sun-hee's soul in the void, using her magic to guide Eun-Kyung and do all the works alone. She's already at her limit on the verge of collapse.
"Master, you should give up on REALITY power for a moment. You should only use one power at a time, it's draining your life."
"No, I have to wear it all the time...to locate the fourth power."
"But the NIGHTMARE power vanished thousands of years ago, there's no way it still existed."
"But the DREAM power is still activating, that meant the NIGHTMARE power is still existing somewhere in the universe..."
"Master..." the bunny became teary flying to hug its master. Her master brought out the list to do. Only a glance of it, she already sighed.
"I'm the holder of the FANTASY power, don't underestimate me that much." she smiled stroking the fluffy bunny's fur. They both stared at the list together as they rested for the first time in a hundred years in that remote alley.
[-Fix the plot hole of the story -Teleport the mc to the fantasy world -Kill an author and send them to the ancient world -Create a new boss for the mc's adventure -Send the mc to their original world -Make the male lead fall in love with the female lead -Be the villainess's substitute for a day -Timeskip a story -Deliver the story to the author -Reverse the time for the mc -etc...]
"Master, how can you do all these alone??" the bunny's jaw dropped reading just a part of the long list. But her master already changed her face and put on the new hair for the job as she was already used to those kinds of things.
"Coco, we can't neglect our job."
"It used to be so easy when those three are still alive..."
"Now, now. There's no use in complaining. Those people need some fantasy for their lives." Vin opened the portal and entered the new world with her bunny.
Her remorse feeling still stuck in her heart when the bunny reminded her of those three.
'They all died because of love...so foolish...'

The royal palace, in the chamber built for the princess for many generations of the northern empire, the bed with the soft texture to it laid down a beautiful woman just like a single rose, her legs kicking at the pillow dropping on the floor with red carpet.
The only thing in her hand that could be considered a thorn on the rose, the only ugly side of the rose, the rose could only be beautiful when its thorn was cut off. But to her, the thing in her hand was only her weapon to protest against those father and daughter duo.
With her thorn, no one will be able to touch her. She raised the fruit cutting knife on her neck raising her voice at the woman with the scar on the other side of the red carpet, "Don't take another step or you'll get the same scar as me!!!!"
"Diana, let father handle this--"
"No, I can deal with it myself." Diana's eyes turned from purple to blue as she walked to close all the curtains. Seeing the new behavior of his new daughter, the emperor was relieved to leave her alone with Marinette in the room.
"Me??? Same scar as me??" Diana threw the dairy book of a certain someone on that white princess bed.
She let out a mocking laugh at the woman standing on the bed with her back pressed against the wall.
Marinette noticed something unusual from Diana, she felt like she used to see Diana with blue eyes once in the past.
"Seriously...none of these bodies belong to you, you pathetic b*tch!!" Diana rolled her eyes and then blew off the lit candle and then raised the candle and let its wax drop on her hand without showing any pain.
Marinette's eyes shook terribly when she glanced at the name Sun-hee with the red underline in the diary she wrote. That diary was also teleported with Diana.
"Diana...you..."
"That's right, Sun-hee...surprised???" the knife on Marinette's hands dropped on the floor and was later picked up by Diana.
Marinette's heart beat faster in fear as the woman in front of her threw the candle across the room. Her cold blue eyes gazing at her almost pierced a hole through her body.
"Where is the antidote--"
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
Diana fell down on the floor without finishing her question to Marinette, she rolled down in pain on the red carpet, her hair became a mess as she used the table to stand up.
Her eyes turned pink and blue till one of them was blue and one of them was pink.
"She's not the real Marinette, she can help us defeat Richard..."
"Shut up, you useless Diana. We always used people...we burnt, we killed...all the one stood in our way..."
"No...Richard is too strong...stop all of these...I want to go back to father..."
"You stupid b*tch, I'm really curious why you weakling is the main personality!!! Our father is the northern emperor, with him, everything could be ours..."
"No...no...stop...it...you meany..."
Marinette covered her wide mouth as her back pressed against the head of the bed seeing Diana slap her cheek and the eyes turned pink and blue like a robot.
Her hands were trembling when Diana in Marinette's body picked up the knife and raised it at her.
"Give me my body back!!!!"
"No...who are you...??? Get away from me!!!"
"You stubborn b*tch." the blue eyes grabbed Marinette's hands and threw her body against the window glass shattering it then dragged her to the middle of the room.
Huff huff
"Urgh...how can you live in this body??? It's freaking painful!!!"
"...ah..." Marinette groaned with the pieces of glass stuck deep inside her stomach. But she had to pretend to faint because of her fear of facing that woman with glowing blue eyes.
Diana picked Marinette's hair holding it tightly, she bit her lip in anger, "I can't believe you're not the real Marinette. Haha, you could only fool that stupid Diana."
Marinette was hurt but had to endure it, she felt the urge to heal the wound but she definitely couldn't show it to Diana.
"Urgh!!! She already fainted. You're in charge while I'm resting, don't mess up!!!" Diana closed her eyes and the purple eyes opened that time crying her eyes out.
"Hic..."
'Diana has split personality...??'
To be continued....!
