“Wait, what are you talking about!?” Jen asked. I guess she did not pay much attention to the outside world.

I smiled as I pulled her along and answered: “While you may be able to curse a person or two, I can destroy the entire kingdom in one go if I so wish. So in words to best explain it, I could become the demon queen of this world if I wanted to.”

“You can what!?” Jen still seemed quite confused. I walked straight to the sign out book and signed out in order to not cause Jen any trouble before walking to the door when Jen suddenly pulled hard on my arm.

I turned to look at her in confusion, but Jen stepped back. “I can’t leave. There is a barrier placed on this door to keep me in….”

“Hmmm?” I turned and looked at the door before waving my hand. “There, it’s gone,” I said with a smile before grabbing the dumbfounded friend of mine’s hand and pulling her right through the door.“What how!?” Jen was completely stunned. She looked at me in disbelief as she passed through the door with ease.

“Faith Cyrilia! You better explain yourself!” A roar came from the sky. I looked up to see the Dean standing in the sky with a furrowed brow.

“What? I am taking a new member into my team. Any questions?” I asked coldly.

“Faith, don’t do this! I will just stay here. Why get yourself in trouble!?” Jen was still trying to pull away from me, but I held her wrist tightly.

“You will no longer be alone!” I shouted. I then turned back to the Dean and said: “Jen will now be a Cyrilia and be under my name. Have her sign a blood seal contract with me. Plus, if anyone should have been locked up, it should have been me, right? But look at me. I am free and walking around even though I could destroy this entire kingdom. Just because she has curse magic means nothing. Curses can be removed. I know since I have removed them myself. But I will say this now, and I will even say it to the king himself. If you wish to keep Jen locked up as you have been, then I will break her out and leave this kingdom behind.”

I was not joking. Jen had suffered because of me. I would not let her suffer anymore. She was my best friend in my past life and still will be in this life. Although I would feel bad for Adel and the others, but Jen was someone I spent my childhood all the way to the day I died with in my past life. I could never abandon her. This world revolved around power. I had the power to defy those in high positions whether they liked it or not.

“I can not make that decision.” The Dean seemed to be put into a tight spot.

“Then we will go to the castle then. All three of us.” I said as I grabbed Jen by her waist and flapped my wings. “I don’t have time to walk, so let’s fly there.”“No, we can just use the teleporter. Come follow me.” The Dean replied. I nodded and followed after him.

Jen, who was in my arms, was in a daze. I can understand why. Things were happening quickly, but this was just who I was. We arrived at the Dean’s office, where we were led to a secret room behind a bookcase. Inside was a teleporter. But this one could only be activated if you had the same mana signature as the one who created it. In seconds we were inside the palace.

Jen looked around in awe as I pulled her along. The Dean kept sighing with each step he took. When we walked into the throne room, a meeting was going on. “Why are you….” The King looked at me, then at Jen, who had her head lowered and let out a long sigh before rubbing the spot between his eyes. “Meeting postponed for an hour. Everyone should leave.”

The room quickly cleared out, and King Gravos’s eyes fell onto me. “I can guess why you are here.” After saying this, he looked at the Dean, who nodded his head before looking back at me. “I can not allow….”

“I object!” I cut him off. Causing Jen’s mouth to drop and The Dean to look the other way. “Your Majesty, who is more dangerous, her or me?”

“Ahem…. I guess… That would be you.” The king replied. Well, he couldn’t really say otherwise.

“Then it’s settled, Jen will come live with me, and we can be dangerous together. Any questions? Good. I will go back to being under house arrest. Dean, can you send me back to the academy?” I said as I went to turn around and walk away.

“Faith! You brat! You are worse than my daughter! I don’t mind if she is under your care, but she must sign a blood seal contract! I can’t have her being controlled by another kingdom. You are a different story as you have high magic power and can’t be controlled. But she doesn’t have such a thing. She is unable to resist mind control effects. We have tested her many times.” The king explained. I turned to Jen, who nodded her head. I now understood why they kept her locked up. Not just to keep her from harming others but to keep her safe as well.

“Then why did you not do it before?” I asked.

、 “I refused…. I would have rather have stayed in the library anyway. It was the only place I felt at ease. I had no reason to leave but now…. I will sign whatever contract I need. I now have a reason to leave the library and maybe see a new side of life.” Jen held my hand. I could tell she wanted to go back to the old times when we spent so much time together talking about this and that.

“Ummm… Just to ask…. Are you two lovers?” The King had a bit of a troubled face on as he asked this.

“Huh? Jen is my best friend. I can’t explain it in a way that you would understand, but, we are just friends. You can say we are childhood friends.” I could tell by the confused expression on both the King’s and Dean’s faces that they still did not understand but I did not care. I did not feel like explaining anything more.
