The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Crashing Into the Palace Walls

Once they exchanged their vows to never again get acquainted with each other, Aisha no longer stayed in the hall.

She didn’t bother greeting the remaining Novalis family, who scrambled to approach her as if they wanted her to say something to the emperor about their parents.

But what can she possibly say or do? The emperor wasn’t a stupid man. For the Novalis family to deceive him, he needed to be certain of what they did to get this result.

Naturally, since Aisha was very young back then when she was adopted by the Novalis family, the emperor didn’t try to hold her accountable. What could a baby who could barely crawl and talk have any idea of what was happening?

Thus, even if the Novalis family wanted her to take half of the blame and responsibility because she was the one who replaced Irene in the engagement with the prince, they were unable to do so when the most powerful man in the empire didn’t say anything.

They could only watch as she stepped down the stairs leading to the throne and walked down the aisle.

"Aisha!"

Theon came to stand on the aisle as well. He stared at her back as she paused to turn around.

With her looking at him with the same disinterested look on her face, Theon found himself unable to utter the words he wanted to say.

"What is it, Theon?"

Aisha patiently waited for him to speak.

"You..."

He began to speak as if he had something urgent to say, but then he seemed to sputter as if he was at a loss for words.

"D-don’t... don’t you have a-anything to say?"

"Oh... Sorry."

Seeing him looking worn out, she couldn’t help but apologize. That spectacle earlier must have been quite upsetting for him.

"The consort will find a way to get your parents out soon. I’m sure she won’t let anything happen to them."

She moved her gaze to Irene, who had been staring in a daze and didn’t react even after the ceremony was over.

"Y-your parents? That’s our—"

"Theon, shut up. I’d be uncomfortable if you keep spouting nonsense even after what has been said to everyone. Or perhaps, do you wish to still play house with me?"

Theon’s expression twisted as if he had swallowed flies in his mouth. But Aisha didn’t care.

"Unfortunately, I do not have any desire to play along with any of you. So, let this be the end of our sibling relationship. Like I said before... don’t treat me as your sister anymore. I don’t have a brother like you, nor do I want to have one."

"How... how can you say that?"

He sounded incredulous. When he first heard Aisha say that on the night Irene’s bracelet went missing, he didn’t believe it. He thought that she was just saying it out of anger and would eventually return to how they usually acted with each other later.

"Mm... What’s wrong with saying the truth?" She smiled gently, the same way an elder sister would to her younger brother. "Theon, Irene’s still not in her right state of mind. When she snaps out of it, can you pass a word from me?"

Theon didn’t reply or indicate he would pass it.

But Aisha didn’t care either way. "Tell her that treating people like toys isn’t something a human should do. In the future, she’ll pay greatly if she still doesn’t know her place."

"W-what do you mean?!"

Theon shouted as Aisha turned around and didn’t even stop to listen to him anymore.

Irene had gotten everything she wanted from Aisha. Some of them Aisha could give because it wasn’t her own in the beginning. However, if Irene thought that the matter between them was over...

I’ll make her regret ever crossing me.

What Irene didn’t know was that she had been so lucky that Aisha held back several times. If Aisha hadn’t been trying to adapt herself into this world first, Irene’s corpse would’ve been a perfect place to grow the seeds in her grandmother’s room.

She didn’t know if they could actually grow, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.

As she continued down the aisle, Aisha heard steady footsteps behind her.

Step, step.

She didn’t need to turn around to find out who it belonged to.

"Are you going back to the residence I told you about before?"

Aisha didn’t stop walking ahead of him and replied, "No. I have to go back to the Novalis’s house to get all of my things."

She didn’t have much, just a couple of things that she bought before that didn’t have any ties to the Novalis family. Besides, she left her spiritual beasts alone with Daisy.
