Chapter 89: An azure

" Do you really have to make that face huh?" asked Bree as she walked past the corridor, dawn was slowly approaching and the corridor was lit up with the evening rays of the sun casting an orangish hue on the portraits on the wall. Each portrait belonged to the previous ruler of the Dragniere empire with tons of facts listed under them, facts that no one will bother reading because they knew what kind of ruler these people were exactly.

Dion who was walking behind her had an expression that was full of fear and puckered up lips as if he was looking for a quick way to die before meeting the leader of the nymphs. "I am just trying to tell you, your majesty, if something happens to me then I will be submitting a request for my salary to be increased—— Woah!"

He slipped down the ice sleet while he wasn’t paying attention and winced as his head hit the ground and the thin layer of ice was shattered a bit due to the impact.

" Aren’t you going to stand up?" asked Bree as she looked at Dion who remained on the floor with his hands clasped on his stomach like he was lying in a casket.

" I don’t think it’s going to make a difference, your majesty," said Dion as he raised one hand and pointed at the corridor behind her and she immediately knew what he was talking about. The entire corridor was slowly being covered with a thin layer of ice and that wasn’t all, the entire dragon palace seemed to have been covered in ice and all the butlers, servants and maids were having a hard time navigating through it.

Only the head maid was able to slide and skate through the entire ice blockage without the slightest bit of trouble.

" Not again," snapped Bree as she walked towards the head of the staircase carefully, before she looked at the condition of the staircase. From the amount of snow that was accumulated on top of each stair and icicles were sticking beneath the bannister making it look like a blizzard has hit the castle.

Her gaze swept through the main hall of the palace and Bree felt her brows twitch as she raised her head and shouted, " Enough Vexy, you have done enough damage already, you can stop now, all right?"

The ice didn’t stop flooding through the palace and Bree felt annoyance sweep past her as she lit up a flame in her hand and placed it on the bannister melting the ice that was coating it. " I said stop it before I make you."

There was a childish giggle and with a pop, a ghost of a small girl appeared out of nowhere before she swept down and looked at Bree with a pout. " You are no fun, your majesty."

" I can be fun if you don’t make my people slip and hurt their tailbones every second day," said Bree sounding annoyed as she looked at Vexy.

Her first meeting with Vexy didn’t go all too well, she still remembered how this little girl doodled on her face for an entire night and that too with Mrs Mary’s waterproof magic marker. It was literally torture for her to get those doodles off her face.

Imagine waking up to a small ghost of a girl who was doodling on your face not a good way to get up, right? She too was very shocked by what she saw and of course, woke with a scream. It was then that she found out that Vexy was an ’azure’, named after the dark smoky figure of her ghostly body —— she was more or less like a poltergeist but the only difference was that she was a poltergeist with very powerful ice powers and liked to trip people with them, like right now.

Dion told her that Vexy was the child of the thirteenth consort of her father who died before Bree went ahead with her coup d’état, it was said that the thirteenth consort was abandoned after she gave birth to a daughter when the King wanted a son. And that was why instead of living an alone life by herself, she committed suicide together with her daughter..but the thing was only the thirteenth consort was able to pass on, her daughter who wasn’t prepared to die so soon stayed where she was and now she haunted the Dragon palace, pulling small pranks on others for her enjoyment.

"I was just having fun," said Vexy with an aggrieved expression as she looked at Dion who was slowly getting up on his feet. " Why do you not let me have fun? I didn’t break anyone’s spine this time."

" Making them fall on their back is also out of question," said Bree as she pinned Vexy with a stern expression. " Now set everything back to its original state."

" All right, sister," said Vexy as she waved her hand causing the ice from the dragon palace to melt, though she did that, she didn’t look really happy about it.

Bree sighed and then looked at the head maid who was climbing up the stairs. " Take her to the playroom that I requested you to prepare and just tire her out... if possible."

Vexy who never got a chance to play with a doll while she was alive was very excited upon hearing that there were dolls for her to play with, so she immediately followed the head maid without even asking anything.

Once she was gone, both Bree and Dion heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.

At least they will be saved from the daily pranks for a few days until Vexy gets tired of the playroom and then goes back to her original prankster routine.

" Now let’s go," said Bree as she turned around but when she noticed that Dion wasn’t coming with her, she sighed and clasped the back of his collar and pulled him along with her. " You are coming with me, so stop trying to run away."

" But your majesty——"

" Shut it."
