Looking at this interaction the anger that had slightly subsided in Tressa's heart rose to another level as she greeted her teeth and was about to speak something when Lea looked at her in the eye.
That stare made her feel a sense of crisis for a second as she thought to herself "What the hell, why did I just feel scared of her?" At this moment Lea spoke calmly, "You don't have to worry about me Tressa, I can take care of myself" Shaking her head lightly Tressa replied "How can I not worry Lea? You are in our palace and if something happens to you my mother will be the one who will be implicated by that. For example just now when you were walking toward Ria a sword was almost about to cut your hand if not for Liam who blocked it. How will you save yourself when you don't know any fighting or self-defense skills, Lea?". "Who told you that I don't know fighting?" "Stop joking Lea… You might know a few tricks that might work on humans but now I am speaking about Super-humans with power here, how can you match their strength". "Then why don't we try?" "What" This time it was not only Tressa who exclaimed in shock but everyone else around. "Lea, what are you speaking? How can you…" Before Liam could complete his sentence Lea stopped him as she spoke "I know what I am doing". "Are you sure Lea?" at this moment Alisha who was standing on the side asked a bit concerned, "Yes I am" But looking at Lea's confidence she relaxed completely. But that was not the case for others who did not know Lea's true identity. On the side "This girl is really bold man" Tim commented as Daviad nodded in agreement. Lea squeezed Liam's hand that was holding her hand lightly as she said "Trust me… I won't do anything I am not confident about" After a few moments of hesitation, Liam finally nodded okay. Lea turned towards Trassa and spoke "So Tressa I challenge you for a sword fight but to keep it fair you can't use your powers, you should only fight with your strength and technique. The moment you use your power it will be considered as you lost the match. Do you agree?" Listening to Lea's words Tressa just stared at Lea blankly and after a few moments she asked, "Are you sure you want to have a sword fight with me" Lea nodded her head in agreement firmly. "Okay then… try hard to not lose too badly," Tressa said arrogantly "And don't worry I will go easy on you" Lea just smiled at her words and replied calmly "I advise you to put in your best in this fight, I don't want you going around later telling you lost just because you were going easy on me". "You…" Tressa's face turned red in anger unable to find the right words to speak back. At this moment Kira who has been standing quietly all this time standing behind Tressa spoke up "Don't act so arrogant Lea… here Tressa is looking out for you and you are speaking to her like this?" Lea laughed sarcastically at her words "Ho sorry… don't take my words wrongly I was also just looking out for her here" "What do you mean?" "What I mean is very simple… Though I don't have powers like you people I have been trained in martial arts and sword fighting since a young age by the best of the best masters in my world" Lea with a non-harmful smile on her face looked at Tressa who was fuming in rage and then looked at Kira and spoke again "So you tell me if Tressa goes easy on me will it not be like disrespecting my master or if I don't inform Tressa not to easy on me just because she thinks I don't know sword fighting is unfair for her?" "You…" This time it was Kira who was tongue-tied and fuming in rage.After a few seconds of a tense staring competition, Kira stomped her foot and snapped, "Fine... Let's see how long you can keep up that arrogance out there." Tressa chimed in, "Okay, then let's not waste any more time. We'll see how good you are at this art." Lea nodded and headed towards the stage, ready to start the match. However, as they reached the stage, Alisha called out to them, "Wait a second." Alisha walked to the right side of the stage, where a door was located. She placed her hand on a scanner for identification. The door opened, and she disappeared inside, returning five minutes later. Confused, Lea asked, "What happened, Alisha?" Alisha shook her head. "Nothing," she said, then turned to Tressa. "As you've agreed not to use your power during the fight, let's just bind it until the match is over." Alisha lifted her hand, revealing a black bangle with golden ancient letters carved into it. Tressa's eyes widened in shock when she saw the bangle. Alisha smiled sarcast
Alina looked back. "I don't know… come on, let's ask someone."They reached the corridor and stopped a dragon warrior who was heading to the west wing. "Where is everyone going in such a hurry?""Little princess, you don't know?" Alina furrowed her eyebrows.Seeing this, the dragon warrior cleared his throat and explained, "Princess Tressa and that human girl are having a sword fight in the training room. We're all going to watch as we've never seen a human fight before, and we're curious about their skills."Once the dragon warrior shared this information, Alina let him go and turned to Sapphire. "This evil sister of mine is surely doing this to bully sister Lea. Please help her, sister Sapphire.""How can I help with this?" Sapphire asked, puzzled."You can… If I speak up, they'll silence me because I'm still young. But you know Master Kai Von, my evil sister has to listen to you." Looking at Sapphire still standing silently Alina added."You don't understand, sister Sapphire. That
Everyone was stunned. Tressa, one of the kingdom's best in sword fighting, had delivered a powerful strike, yet Lea had blocked it as if it were nothing."Come on, sister Lea, you can do it!" Alina's cheer broke the silence.The crowd's eyes lit up with excitement. "This match is going to be interesting," they thought. "This human is not so bad…"Alisha smiled at Tressa's state and cheered with Alina, "Come on, Lea, you can do it!" The rest of the group joined in, while Kira and a few other lackeys stood there with dark expressions.Furious, Tressa stood up and dashed toward Lea again. Her attacks grew stronger, but Lea blocked each one with ease. This continued for the next twenty minutes—Tressa attacking and Lea defending.By the end, Tressa's body was covered in cuts and bruises, while Lea stood unscathed."Dude this girl is a monster… how can she overpower a dragon warrior so easily, did she go through such rigorous training to attain this level of perfection?" David said to Tim,
Liam, who was walking with Lea to the dining hall, suddenly stopped. He pulled Lea into an embrace and leaned against a pillar."What are you doing? What if someone sees us?" Lea asked, agitated, looking around to check if anyone was coming."Don't worry, not too many people use this route as this route is longer compared to the other one."Lea sighed in relief and then looked at him. "Then why did you take this path?""Because I couldn't take any more of your staring. Now, tell me what's on your mind?" Liam asked, brushing back a loose lock of hair from Lea's face.Lea sighed, a bit embarrassed at being caught. "I... I never knew you had this side to you. It felt really good to be protected like that. Though my father and brothers always stand like a protective barrier around me, what you did today felt different. I don't know how to explain it."A smile bloomed on Liam's face. He bent his head and gave a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I promise I will always protect you, whether we'r
A few days pass by just like that and then a week later…Liam was standing on a balcony, gazing at the town outside the palace gates, when someone walked in his direction. Turning his head, he saw Rayan approaching."What are you doing here?" Rayan asked, stopping next to him."Just sorting out a few things in my mind... Anyway, what brings you here?" Liam replied, turning back to the scenery below."I was on a call with Peter. He said you asked him to find someone.""So that lazy head is complaining to you instead of doing his work?" Liam said as he walked to a nearby chair and settled down in a carefree manner.Rayan sighed, moving to the empty chair opposite Liam. "He didn't complain but was scared to speak to you since he couldn't find anything about that person even after searching for a week now."Liam let out a deep breath and shook his head lightly. "Expected. How could it be so easy...""But why did you ask him to check regarding Master Kai Von's disciple all of a sudden? Did
"Thinking over what you said, it does sound like there's some truth to your words. But didn't Master Yi say that he checked Lea by inserting his spiritual energy into her body and didn't find any trace of power?""He did, and I also checked myself without alerting Lea but didn't find any traces of power inside her. That's why I've been cooped up in the library for the past few days, trying to find if there are any artifacts or spells that can block detection when checked with spiritual energy, but I haven't found anything yet." "You should have spoken to Sharen, she knows more about artifacts than anyone else among us.""I did try, but she's been busy with something these past few days. I can hardly see her or Alex in the palace.""Yeah, that's true. Even I noticed. I don't know what those two are up to these days. Anyway, don't worry, we'll figure out something," Rayan said, patting Liam's shoulder. Then, after a moment, he added, "By the way, what's happening between you and Lea th
"Master there is a small issue but I don't know if it's something to be worried about or not so I called you" Master Kai became instantly alert and asked in a serious tone, "What happened, dear?" "This morning, after I woke up, I saw a streak of hair had turned back to golden, which means my power is coming back. But it is too early this time compared to previous occasions and your estimated time. Will everything be okay, Master, or is the seal broken somehow?" Master Kai thought for some time and then instead of answering asked her a question "Why do you think it's broken? Did something happen recently?" "Elle, what happened?" "I... I was…" Elena stammered "I was attacked by the Knights of Gantrick recently… and I was poisoned by dragon poison during this attack." "What? How dare they lay hands on my only disciple?" Master Kai Von exclaimed, completely angered. Listening to the anger in his voice Elena continued in a meek voice "And I think my powers forced itself to break the
At the same time in Tressa’s room she was speaking on the phone with someone standing on the balcony. “You bit*h you dare to call me now after all that we had to go through because of you?” the person on the other side of the line said angrily. “I know what you went through was really bad and I did not accept them to react that way for that human” Tressa said trying to calm down the other person. “Hahaha…” The person on the other side of the line gave out a sarcastic laugh “You did not expect?... fine I will understand that but this question for me, why did you not receive our calls when we were trying to contact you for help?” Tressa balled her fists and closed her eyes as she took in a deep breath to calm herself down. “Speak up you bit*h” the person on the other line roared angrily after not hearing any answer from the other side. Listing to this the anger Tressa was trying to tame broke out of her control as she spoke, “I could not contact you because that damned mother of
Back at the Place the sun was setting as Elena stood outside at the entrance of the palace waving bye to her friends who were flying away on their dragons. Elizabeth came and stood next her looking at the group flying away as she asked “I have sent them away as you requested, when do you plan to go?”. A few hours before… “Is Aunt Beth in her office uncle Allen?” Elena asked Allen who coincidentally came near Elizabeth’s office at the same time as her. Allen smiled as he replied “Yes princess, Her Majesty is in the office only, please come in with me” as he knocked on the door to the office. They soon received a reply “Come in” as both of them walked inside the office. “Elena?” Elizabeth looked at her confused a little but still asked in a calm tone with a smile on her face “What brings you here, Is there some problem?”. Elena smiled a bit tensed as she nodded “Yes Aunty”. Elizabeth got up from her chair behind the desk and came to where Elena was standing as she placed
“What does that sorry count for now? It's not like it can bring back the people I lost” “Yes it can’t bring them back but if you can forgive me and join hands with me we can get our revenge and build back the Knights of Gantrick that has fallen. This time we can be more powerful and more strong, that no one can bring us down”. “What are you saying?” “I will help you take over Asterin by killing the queen and we can rule over this kingdom together and once we have Asterin in our palms it’s not so difficult to track down those phantoms and get our revenge”. “Hahahaha…” Silva started laughing uncontrollably “You have lost it… Hahaha… you have lost your mind completely. You want to take over a kingdom with the help of the handful of people I have under me? You want me to lead the few who survived to their death bead to fulfill your fantasy like that fool brother of mine?” “No one is going to die, listen to my plan first and then come to a conclusion. Okay?” Listening to the confide
