Third Person POV
"I-I am so sorry! I-I tried my best to come back with everyone, but Ajisa-sama had been caught!" She yelled out, walking towards The knight and Princess and landed on her shaking knees. Saboten was quick to grab Nikami before she fell to the floor as well, holding her up despite her arm feeling numb and tingly.
The princess nodded and patted over the weeping small girl groveling to be forgiven.
A gentle smile and kind gesture is simply a mask to observe her further. In all honesty, she doesn't believe Ajisa is dead. That girl is tougher than she looks, she has all of that heavy pride carried on that durable carriage called her magic. There is no logical reason that Ajisa would die yet everyone else is safe, not to mention Yasachu and Nikami do not have injuries similar to Raijin.
Shoubu concluded that she was lying.
Another screaming one was added, the naive knight that believed the words of the commoner. She knelt down, gripping Nikami's body as she mumbled words that were too fast for anyone to understand.
The door was opened, the slouched mage hearing what she yelled out from the other side. She panted, narrowing her eyes at the prostrating commoner. She pushed up her glasses, speaking very low she made a command,
"Saboten, go behind me." Her intonation was hard and blunt, no hesitation could be seen from her determined glare.
"What's wrong?" Shoubu asked, clearly knowing something is wrong if Kikyou out of all people is not holding anything back. She gave a slight scoff, taking a step back and folding her hands beside Kikyou.
She followed her sister's orders, standing up and walking behind her. Wanting to ask the reason why, she opened her mouth and before she could let out a whisper-
"She's cursed. Please stay away from her, she's dangerous." Kikyou snapped, pushing the knight slowly behind her further.
"Hmm? Just now or?" Shoubu was intrigued, raising an eyebrow while observing her. With all of her knowledge, she thought that all light users couldn't be cursed. As darkness cannot exist in a vessel of brightness itself.
"I noticed it from the start, the moment I met her it was there. But it was so dormant I couldn't tell if it was just strange mana flow or she had actually had something wrong with her. Th-that's why it's dangerous, if it has affected her for this long and not to mention it actually has a physical manifestation around her head..." She bit her lip, hesitating. "I-I... Don't think we can have the same Yasachu we knew of..."
"Ara? Is that so..." Shoubu just nodded in understanding, turning her head to the side and seeing the erratic eyed Saboten that hasn't said anything in a while. She gestured towards the door, smiling calmly to tell her they can deal with this. And with that, the knight dashed inside the room and they both paid attention to the raising Yasachu.
"And what kind of curse does she have?" Shoubu asked.
"Give me back my Nikami." Yasachu grimaced, having her bright yellow irises turn dead, twitching.
"I-I don't know, but the way she's acting... I-I think her motives are clear..." Kikyou gulped, cuffing her sleeves and straightening her back.
"Hmm? Obsession? Possessiveness? What do you see exactly? I'm not as mana sensitive as you, Kikyou-sama, you'd have to explain what it is to this blind princess." Shoubu chuckled, tightening her low ponytail and making it higher, widening her smile into a grin.
"Pl-please don't say that... I-I see a shadow arm around her head, right above... The fingers a-all covering her face. Sh-she's already corrupted..." Kikyou adjusted her glasses, mumbling.
