Capítulo 43: Chapter 43: Life of Idonea
However, that man's attack didn't travel far before it was intercepted by Illumia, who had appeared right in front of the palm attack and effortlessly destroyed it, causing all the attention to be focused on Illumia.
"There will be no interruptions with his highness watching." Stated Illumia as she looked at the man coldly, though it didn't seem like he was satisfied with that answer.
"I apologize for my actions, but that little devil had almost killed my son after he had already lost; she deserved to be punished." Said the man as he bowed while venom laced his voice.
"I don't care about her attempt to kill your son; if you wish for her to receive punishment, then you should speak to his highness as he is present." Coldly stated Illumia before floating back to Elif's private booth while the man was debating internally on whether he should speak to Elif.
When I noticed Illumia had already dealt with the attack, I ignored them and watched how Idonea sheathed her sword before flying off the stage back to a VIP area. At the same time, her opponent was getting carried about by some servants.
'She doesn't even look worried about her well-being, and to be so calm with everything going on just causes my interest in her to increase.' Pondered Elif with a smile as he turned to Illumia, who had just flown into the booth.
"Everything has been dealt with, your highness." Said Illumia with a bow before returning to her usual spot beside Elif.
Looking at the man who started all this, he seemed to be contemplating something as he looked at my booth before eventually releasing a sigh and returning to the VIP area. I wasn't paying attention when Illumia confronted him, so I had no idea what he was thinking, though I wasn't interested either.
"Bring Idonea here; I would like to talk with her." Ordered Elif while watching the next match start.
"Yes, your highness." Replied Illumia with a slight bow before leaving the room through the door.

When I arrived back at the VIP area, instead of everyone ignoring my presence like usual, everyone looked at me with eyes filled with disgust while murmuring about me.
"To think a little girl could be so bloodthirsty that she tried killing a fellow noble, it's repulsing." Quietly said someone with hatred laced in their voice.
"Well, you shouldn't have expected much from her, don't forget what her family name is; she is that man's daughter, so of course, she's an abomination." Quietly replied another voice, this time filled with disgust and hatred.
"She is nothing but a dangerous beast that should be put down for good." Commented someone who actually didn't have any negative feelings about her; they just wished to join in the conversation and possibly build connections with more nobles.
Even though they were whispering, with my cultivation base, I could hear everything, but I didn't care; I've had to deal with much more gruesome things than some stupid words. After walking through the hallways, I was about to enter my assigned sleeping quarters, but when my hand reached for the door, I heard the air behind me getting pushed by something moving fast, and I could tell that it was aiming toward my head.
With how fast that object was moving, I wouldn't be capable of dodging it in time, so I decided to start leaning forward so that the impact would be lessened when it hit my head.
'If my divine sense weren't still blinded from earlier, then this situation wouldn't have happened.' Thought Idonea the moment the object collided with her head.
When the object hit my head, I instantly knew it was a fist, though I worried about that later as the force of the impact sent me crashing into the wall beside my door, causing me to be embedded into the wall; however, I quickly got myself out of the wall and unsheathed my sword while eyeing my attacker.
"You're quite powerful to still be alive after taking one of my weakest attacks; however, that's good; that means I can use more strength when I torture you for injuring my younger brother!" Said a teenage boy with similar physical features to Idonea's previous opponent with anger, as his eyes emitted killing intent
'Even after trying to lessen the attack, I was almost knocked unconscious, and my skull has fractured. However, the important thing is I can't sense his cultivation base, which can only mean, he is no longer a Saint but a Divine.' Thought Idonea as she prepared to fight even after realizing she had no chance of winning against someone who had passed through the second half-step chasm.
"Don't worry about interference happening again; I've activated a Divine-grade artifact that'll keep our fight from being noticed." Said the boy with an evil smirk as he prepared to torture Idonea; however, before he could make a move, they both heard a sound of glass breaking, and then the next thing they noticed was another person standing in front of both of them.
"Hey, I don't care who you are bitch, but you better get out of the way, or you'll be the enemy of my Marquess noble family!" Yelled the boy with anger and pride as he looked at the woman, though since the woman was facing Idonea, he didn't realize who it was; otherwise, he would've never opened his mouth like that.
'This fool is dead.' Thought Idonea calmly, as the moment the woman appeared in front of her, she knew who she was and who she was affiliated with.
When the woman turned around to look at the teenage boy, his face, which was filled with anger, turned into shock before instantly morphing into horror and dread.
"I'll have his highness decide on what to do with you for attacking someone who he wished to see." Said Illumia as she reached forth and grabbed the teenage boy with a palm before throwing him into a portal that appeared out of nowhere.
When the Prince's maid finished dealing with that man, she looked back over at me, and the way she did caused me to get slightly nervous.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Idonea Voyāge; I have been given order's by his highness to bring you to him, so if you could follow me, please." Said Illumia elegantly with a slight bow.
"O-Of course." Replied Idonea with a nod as she sheathed her sword while also feeling slightly startled as she had no idea why the Crown Prince of the Empire would possibly wish to see her, though either way, she didn't dare to dally and somehow anger the prince.
As I followed behind the lady, we once again reached the community VIP area, and the moment they saw me walking behind the Prince's maid, they started happily whispering.
"Hmph, it seems the Crown Prince couldn't allow such a dangerous killer to be left to roam freely under his watch." Said someone happily.
"You're correct; we are lucky that even though the Crown Prince is young, he is righteous and upright!" Commented another person as she looked at Idonea smugly.
Those disgusting nobles continued praising the Prince while saying terrible things about me, sometimes, I would even hear them say something about me that wasn't true, but to them, it didn't matter.
"Idonea, where the hell do you think you're going!?" Yelled a man angrily while stuttering and clumsily walking in their direction.
When I heard that familiar voice, my hand immediately went to my sword's hilt as I tightly gripped it in anger; however, I didn't do anything other than turn around and look at that man with emotionless eyes.
"I heard what you did to Marquess Vann's son. Do you think after doing all that, you can just leave without any punishment!?" Angrily said the man while taking a second to drink the beer bottle in his hand as he made his way over to Idonea.
"I did nothing wrong; my opponent directed his killing intent at me first; he was in the wrong." Stated Idonea boldly as she stood before the man who had approached her.
I could hear the by-standing nobles dismiss my words as foolishness or me lying, and the man before also heard it.
"Shut up, you bastard of a daughter. First, you almost try killing Marquess Vann's son, then you blatantly lie about it in front of everyone and embarrass me, and stop looking at me with those emotionless eyes, you fucking waste of space!" Yelled the man angrily, and in a moment of mindless rage, he attacked Idonea, not even thinking twice about it, which makes one think it wasn't his first time doing that.
With how angry he was, I had already prepared myself for getting hit as that's the only way he knows how to speak to me, but when I sensed the power he attacked me with, I knew if that connected, I would be seriously injured, forcing me to forfeit from the tournament and no longer get the winning prize.
However, the attack never hit me as the woman I was following before appeared in front of me, blocking the man's attack.
"Huh, who is this bitch! Get out the way; I'm disciplining my daughter!" Said Idonea's father in anger like always.
"My goodness, to be called a bitch twice within one hour; it seems people really did forget about me." Softly muttered Illumia with a twitch of an eye.
"Huh, what did you say, woman? Never mind, I don't care; move out the fucking way! Don't you know who I am? I'm a noble!" Yelled the man with his common anger while standing up straight in pride when he mentioned his status as a noble.
"We're in a hurry, so if you could excuse us." Said Illumia as she copied what she did with the boy from before and threw the man into a suddenly appearing portal.
After the lady did that, we continued on our way, this time with no more interruptions, and about a minute later, we finally arrived just before the Crown Prince's booth.
"Your highness, I've brought Idonea as you've requested." Said Illumia with a slight bow after walking inside the room with a nervous Idonea right behind her.
"Hmm, finally, you took your sweet time, didn't you, Illumia." Replied Elif casually as he turned his throne to look at Illumia, though he focused on Idonea when he saw her behind Illumia.
"My apologizes, your highness, there were some pests that needed to be dealt with."
"Well then, since you're finally here, why don't you introduce yourself, Idonea." Ordered Elif as he threw a lightning cherry in the air and caught it in his mouth.
"My name is Idonea Voyāge, and It is a pleasure to meet you, your highness." Said Idonea, slightly nervous, along with a deep bow.
