"Banish? Isn''t that too much?" Mya chuckled and stood up from her seat.
"What if I do all those things aside from cheating with 100 men?! It''s all that woman''s fault for coveting my fiance. I truly hate her!" Well, she would admit willingly to all those crimes except thest one but...
''Sorry Hyun Jae, for calling you such things. It''s really a relief that you''re not here or I would really extremely feel guilty saying these things. This is after all for my act to my role to the very finale.''
"And again, I <strong>never</strong> cheated with 100 men." She said again in the end.
But at the exact time that Mya spoke those words, the whole ce suddenly turned quiet.
"Lady Mya. I thought you don''t love him." With that soft voiceing from behind Mya, she stiffened. Herst thoughtspletely backfire on her.
She immediately turned around seeing Hyun Jae who was now breaking tears. With her flowy white gown, she looked like a delicate sad fairy in the ground now.
"I''m so sorry, Lady Mya!" She said as she continued to cry out loud.
"No, Hyun Jae..." Mya retracted her hand that was now reaching to her.
"You really are a vile woman!" Both the crown prince and George ran towards her trying to stop Hyun Jae from crying. And also the remaining people of her harem.
Mya just pursed her lips. ''Since it alreadyes to this, let''s seal the final act now of this condemnation.''
<em>Mya Venizever Marina, due to the frustration of her engagement being annulled, to the crimes she was convicted of, her eyes lit up with madness. ''If you''re going to get rid of me, I''ll bring that wench with me!'' </em>
<em>From the hem of Mya''s dress, she pulled a knife that was strapped on her left knee and ran towards the sobbing Hyun Jae. Fully intending to kill her.</em>
Or just like what is supposed to happen in the novel. Mya closed her eyes and sigh. ''But I''m not that Mya in the novel.'' She touched the right earring she wore with blue gemstone from her sister and crushed it. As soon as she did that, different cockroaches, spiders, and other kinds of insects rained down the whole Grand Hall.
The whole room began to be filled with frantic screams of nobles here and there. The proud nobles mask of every people here disappeared in an instant as they were like became crazy people trying to sway away something. A sly smile formed on Marina''s lips. ''What a befitting scene for everyone. Truly something they won''t forget.''
"Mya, what''s happening to them?" Hyun Jae said as she stood up, wiping the tears from her confused eyes. The two people that were with her were also screaming while trying to shake off some things with them.
"They are all under an illusion," Mya said as she started walking towards her. "Don''t worry, they will return to normal after an hour," she stopped in front of Hyun Jae as she sped both her hands.
"I apologize, I didn''t mean anything I said before."
<em>"Ah! Get off me!" The screams intensified around them.</em>
"It was all an act," Mya gently smiled. "Thank you for everything, for saving me and the people dear to me that night."
<em>"Ahh!" </em>
<em>"Please someone help me!"</em>
<em>"Kill these pests! Wahhh!"</em>
"Hyun Jae, it''s been long three years and I''m finally free." A warm smile graced Mya''s face. "When you need anything in the future, just go to the Marina household." She then gently released her grasp to Hyun Jae''s hand.
"Goodbye, Hyun Jae." Mya started to fade away when she tore a talisman with her.
Hyun Jae''s eyes widened. Everything that was happening to her right now just sink into her mind. She reached out to Mya''s disappearing figure, but what she only grasped was the air. As she nced at her right hand. The Ring of Seal of the Saintess that Mya borrowed from her remained.
"Mya," she grasped the ring close to her heart.
<em>"Ahhhh!"</em>
Unbeknownst to Mya and Hyun Jae, there was someone else who was not affected by the illusion aside from them.
Elred watched all these scenes unfolding from his view. He nced at famous Saintess who was grasping something in her. She was just staring nkly at the ce where that Marinady disappeared.
''I thought, they were on bad terms. Did I found something, I shouldn''t have seen?''
---???---
From the academy gates, where Dorris was waiting patiently, Mya reappeared in front of her.
"Mdy!" She eximed happily seeing herdy. But then she looked at herdy a bit confused. Herdy''s expression was a bit brighter than usual.
"Is the party that amazing, Mdy? You seem very happy."
"Yup," Mya put both her hands at her back as she stepped ahead of Dorris. "I''ve never been this happy in my entire life."
Dorris smiled at Mya''s remarks. ''It seems the party is really that wonderful for Mdy to be this happy. I''m d that herst day at school was fruitful.'' But if Dorris knew the events that truly happened inside and herdy being banished from the empire, she would not be able to think these thoughts.
"Let''s go now, Dorris. Rein must have finished all the preparations needed."
"Yes, Mdy!" Dorris started preparing the magic circle now.
"Our real adventure will finally begin tomorrow!" Mya said with great enthusiasm. Her expression right now, showed how excited and happy she was. She then touched the bracelet she was wearing.
''I''m really free now, right?''
---???---
Meanwhile, in the topmost tower of the academy, an old man was standing in front of the window. From there, he couldpletely see Mya and Dorris at the school gates with his enhanced vision using magic.
"Truly intriguing." He said as he kept caressing his long white beard.
"Grandfather," Oliver called out as soon as he entered the office of the headmaster of the academy. The first thing his sight caught as he walk near the table of his grandfather was an envelope.
<em>Application for Early Graduation.</em>
He picked it and open the envelope. His eyes widened as he saw the contents. "This is..."

<strong></strong>"Haha, truly intriguing is it?" Headmaster stairughed with amusement. "I don''t know why she is somewhat in a hurry. But in this old man''s entire life, she is the only one who finished everything in advance and graduate this early. Truly one of a kind person is it?"
Oliver put back the certificate in the long envelope. His eyes rippled with unknown emotions as he nced at his grandfather who wasughing heartily.
"As my grandson, please send this personally at the Duke of Marina. That busy child would be surely d at what his sister has aplished. Those Marina brats really..." The headmasterughed once again. "Every one of them never ceased to amu-I mean amaze me."
''Is grandfather going to say amuse?'' Oliver shook the sudden thought in his head. Then bowed down as he held the envelope. "As you wish, grandfather, I''ll take my leave now."
He then started to walk out of the office.
