Chapter 41 - 41-Story of Cassandra and Melissa

Grinn opens the door to the private duel room, Kairo quickly runs to Cassandra to hug her. Kairo then starts to cry.

Kairo – Please don't kill us.

Grinn starts to laugh.

Grinn – Hahahahaha!!!

Kairo doesn't understand.

Kairo – What are you laughing at?

Grinn – Who said I'm going to kill you?

Kairo doesn't understand.

Grinn – The one who will decide your lives is the Knight of Judgment.

Grinn then looks at Melissa. Melissa then smiles.

Melissa – Why would I kill my little sister?

Everyone is surprised except Grinn who already knew.

Kairo – What do you mean?

Cassandra – She told me that too.

Cassandra looks at Melissa.

Cassandra – Could you explain that to me?

Melissa – Yes, let's go back to the main room and then I'll explain everything. Grinn could take them while I change clothes

Grinn – yes.

Grinn leads Team Fujimoto to the main room. Melissa then arrives. Melissa and Grinn sit on their throne.

Melissa – now I'll explain everything, as I said before, we are sisters, Cassandra. The one who gave me this necklace like yours was my father, who is your biological father.

Team Fujimoto is surprised by this revelation.

Cassandra – so my father is Tostoff?

Melissa – yes.

Cassandra then laughs.

Melissa – what happened?

Cassandra – I thought you were doing this because you changed, I bet Ros or Tostoff told you this secret, so you must be remorseful for what you did to me and now you want to treat me well.

Melissa – your stubborn way really is your mother's.

Cassandra gets angry.

Cassandra – what's up?!

Melissa – don't worry. My mother was like that too. Did Tostoff only like women with a strong temperament?

Cassandra doesn't understand.

Melissa – Actually, I found out about this secret when we studied together at Magichool, that's why I hated you back then.

Melissa starts to cry.

Melissa – Our father always told me that I should be better than you, and when I caused trouble he would say that I should be like you.

Cassandra – (So that's why Melissa was so jealous of me.)

Melissa – Besides, I found out about this secret when I overheard a conversation with my mother, he told her "Melissa should stop acting like a useless person and work hard like her sister, because Cassandra shows new skills every day." You don't know how much it hurt me when I found out that you were my sister.

Cassandra – (If my mother had told me the truth, I could have helped Melissa overcome that pain.)

Melissa – Two years ago, our father died, but in his last minutes of life and we talked, he told me that he said that because he wanted me to go, but he ended up using the wrong words. Besides, he told me about you and that I should look for Ros, it was at that moment that I regretted everything I did, I shrank the school and closed it.

Cassandra – I haven't seen you for two years, so does that mean you refused our father's request?

Kairo – I kicked her out when she came to meet us, because I didn't believe a word she said, but Ros ended up finding out and went after her.

Cassandra – Why didn't you tell me?

Kairo remains silent.

Melissa – Your reaction would be of hate when you saw me, I think I should thank Kairo in a way that made me stop in Omeron.

Cassandra – What do you mean?

Melissa – I was wandering aimlessly when Kairo kicked me out, so I ended up in Omeron. I slept on the ground for several days, they tried to rob me and rape me several times, but I managed to escape.

Cassandra and Kairo are surprised.

Cassandra – (Melissa was then in the same situation as us.)

Cassandra – Just one question, if our father died, why didn't you stay with your mother?

Melissa – Because your mother couldn't accept the end of the relationship and killed my mother. The information was hidden and was only released two days after Tostoff's death.

Cassandra is shocked.

Cassandra – But how is that possible if my mother committed suicide after you set up that plan against me?

Melissa – I was also shocked and trying to understand why my mother had committed suicide, but then our father told us the reason minutes before he died. Maria, who is your mother, placed a seal on Teresa, who is my mother. This seal connected the lives of both of them. So Maria chose to commit suicide in order to kill my mother. Tostoff only found out about this on the day they both died.

Cassandra is shocked and shaken by what happened.

Melissa – going back to the subject of my arrival in Omeron. As I said, the first few days were difficult, but after a month things started to get better. I got a job with a girl who helped her sell apples at her stall. I was excited to work selling apples.

Cassandra then laughs and then smiles.

Cassandra – Who would have thought that Melissa Merechal was excited to sell apples?

Melissa – So one day the king of Omeron passed by the apple stand, the vendor said he could take as many apples as he wanted, but I intervened and told him he could only take as many as he wanted if they paid for them.

Grinn – This girl caught my attention, I told her that she surprised me and I didn't expect anyone to talk to a royal person in that way.

Melissa – I told him that royals are evil and prejudiced people, he surprised me by saying that I was right and that it was his job to end the prejudice that exists in Omeron, and he also said that I was the hope for that.

Grinn – I surprised her by asking if she was Melissa Merechal, she asked me how I knew, I told her that I had seen her when I went to visit Gagardrel, I wished him my condolences for the death of her parents, and I also said that if a noble girl became like that then other nobles can change too.

Melissa – He then offered me an offer to be the king's assistant. I was skeptical, but he said he needed someone like me, since he had lost his parents when he was fifteen and had to take over the kingdom early.

Shana – (So this guy is just like me.)

Melissa – So I decided to accept on the condition that the kingdom of Omeron would be a fair kingdom, and he agreed. Over time, we fell in love and then got married. I told him my story. One day, Ros managed to find me and we talked. Ros told me about you and Kairo. I wish I could do something for both of you, but because of your theft crimes, I couldn't. So I preferred to make sure the other kingdoms didn't investigate you.

Cassandra lowers her head and then raises it, showing that she is crying. Cassandra then runs to Melissa and hugs her.

Cassandra – I'm sorry for doubting that you had changed.

Melissa – You don't need to apologize. I would have done the same thing if I were you.

Grinn – By the way, how about you two come and live here in the palace for a few days?

Melissa – Yes, because we need to talk about a serious matter.

Cassandra – What matter?

Melissa – Who killed Ros?

The happy and cheerful mood suddenly changes after Melissa brings up the subject of Ros's death.

Fujimoto – We know who killed Ros.

Grinn – We already know too.

Fujimoto – (They've already found Alisiya.)

Grinn – It was Roman Astofolo.

Fujimoto – (What's going on?)

Everyone is shocked and doesn't understand what's going on.
