"Do I have a hidden power inside me that is showing its effect now?"
Drayce helplessly shook his head. "Hidden powers? Seems like my little kitten loves to play magic games."
"Maybe I need to have a magic wand like what those witches have in the storybooks?"
At those words, Drayce chuckled. "So naive."
A soft sigh echoed from her chamber as her voice dulled. "If I am the daughter of a witch, then let me use my powers so I can use it to run away from here. Before abandoning me, you should have at least given me some of your powers. I would have been grateful to you."
'It seems like she is talking about her mother,' he thought.
Seren continued, "You gave me nothing but this veil. Even this lifeless veil has its own power, then why not me? I don't even need this veil! I can just take it off."
"Veil?" Drayce thought about it. "Once we return to Megaris, I will allow you to take it off. You will no longer have to wear it."
He had seen that veil closely and he knew it was not an ordinary veil since it was an item someone had enchanted. Even though Seren didn't like it, she was forced to wear it all her life. He was sure he could take it off if she allowed him to.
Just then, the servant returned to her chamber to announce Prince Cian's arrival to Seren.
Drayce picked up his sword as he was ready to go out and mumbled, "Enjoy your brother's company because, after this, there won't be the next time."
Drayce left his bedchamber with his knights trailing behind him. When he stepped out of the royal residence, he saw a fancy carriage standing outside and understood it was for Seren to go out with her brother.

When Cian and Seren came out of the royal residence, they found a horse-drawn carriage already waiting for them outside. Two beautiful white horses were attached to a beautiful black carriage with a blue crest of the Ilven Royal Family on the side. It was the personal carriage of the Crown Prince, therefore it was not an exaggeration to say that it was one of the largest and most luxurious carriages that could be found within the kingdom.
Seren gave her brother a questioning look. "This…"
"It's for you. We are going out of the palace, and of course, the princess needs to go in a carriage," Cian replied. He would be out of his mind to ask his lovely sister to simply walk all the way out of the palace. Even he would have to ride a horse for that.
One knight opened the door of the carriage for them and another pulled out a footstool. Cian personally offered his hand to his sister to help her get into the carriage.
Once she was inside comfortably, Cian climbed inside as well,choosing to sit opposite to his sister.
The royal servants as well as the palace officials coming early to work who witnessed this scene were both equally confused and startled. With the many eyes in the palace, whenever royals were heading out, it usually caused great fanfare to the people around them. However, this never had occurred for the Third Princess before as nobody has ever seen Seren step out of her tower except for some special occasions within the palace.
Seeing her climbing the prince's carriage with such respect and treatment was something even the other princesses never experienced.
A princess. The witch was being treated like a princess. Sometimes, even the people in the palace forget her true status, treating her more like an abandoned royal imprisoned in her own residence. Things had changed for her in the past several days. Her presence was no longer restricted. Instead, she was allowed to stay inside the royal residence instead of sending her back to the tower, and she was even free to roam in the royal gardens. It was even rumored she even stayed an afternoon in the lake in the eastern part of the palace. Some more people did not believe that story, but now she was even given a privilege to be personally escorted by Cian himself and ride the royal carriage of the Crown Prince.
Suddenly, too much importance was being given to this witch. People thought such treatment must be due to it being her last days in the palace.
It was the first time Seren had ever ridden a carriage. The space inside was large and she found the seat soft and comfortable even when the carriage moved, contrary to what she had read in most books. Her excitement only existed for about a minute as she looked at her brother.
"This… is this allowed? Can I truly leave the palace? His Majesty might not like this. I don't want Brother Cian to be in trouble because of me," Seren said with worry in her voice.
"Don't worry about it. Father knows everything," he replied.
Despite his comforting words, there was no happiness in her eyes even though her father permitted her to go out of the palace, not in hiding, but in front of everyone. A tinge of sadness appeared in her eyes.
"What are you thinking?" Cian asked.
Seren shook her head and looked outside through the glass window of the carriage. She could see the various structures and buildings inside the royal palace, and then the large gates that separated the palace from the rest of the capital. The entire journey, all she did was to observe outside. It must be the last time she would be seeing this place. Though she did not have much attachment to the royal palace, she could at least keep it in her memory that this was the place where she had spent seventeen years of her life.
"You can say it. Don't keep it in your heart," Cian insisted. "I want to hear what my sister feels and thinks, so that at least I can understand you a little better."
