BXBX NOVEL Chapter 9 - 5
The back garden of Argaint Kingdom castle is very spacious and beautiful. Many colorful flowers decorate the garden. In addition, there is also a gazebo where to relax and Sheltering from the sun and rain.
Today Ziel and Theodore stand face to face while holding wooden swords. Princess Aishia and Princess Elise take shelter under the gazebo while enjoying tea.
"Remember Not to hurt each other seriously, this is just an exercise so don\'t get too serious. Especially you Theo." Princess Aishia reminded with a serious face.
"I understand Princess. Take it easy, I\'ll hold back and try not to hurt him." Theodore replied confidently and somewhat arrogantly. Princess Aishia can only frown to hear it..
"Ziel you must be careful, do not get hurt you understand!" Princess Elise He said to Ziel to remind him again.
"I understand Princess Elise." Ziel replied briefly.
Princess Elise said while looking worried about Ziel. He can only nod and look forward to his sparring partner. Seeing his cunning eyes, Ziel can only think in his mind how to lose normally and safely.
(Looks like I should play here a bit. So that Princess Aishia and Princess Elise don\'t suspect me. All I have to show is my mediocre swordsmanship and quickly defeated by him)
"Are you ready? Take it easy, I won\'t hurt you seriously." Theodore said arrogantly.
"Thank you for your generosity." Ziel just replied flatly.
"All right, let\'s get started. You can attack me first. Use all your strength." Theodore provoked ziel with a smile
"All right..." Ziel nodded softly at Theodore\'s provocation.
Ziel ran slowly towards Theodore while raising his sword and swinging it like an amateur. Theodore blocking Ziel\'s attacks with his sword.
"Hahaha...yes, that\'s it. Are you a baby? Let\'s unleash your powers again. Swing your sword even stronger." Theodore laughed loudly while insulting Ziel.
Ziel continues to swing his sword indiscriminately. From the top, right, left, and stab forward. But everything is handled by Theodore. They continued their sword fight for a while. But judging from everywhere, Theodore looks to lead the way of the fight. It\'s like teaching you to use a sword. But suddenly Theodore attacked Ziel right at his vital point. Ziel pretends to slip to avoid the sword.
"You can avoid that. What a lucky one. Try to hold my attack on this one." Theodore said annoyed.
Theodore twists his body preparing to attack Ziel\'s neck with a wooden sword. If hit even with a wooden sword. It\'s going to cause serious injury. But Ziel stayed calm against it. Like a robot that has been programmed to fend off or avoid attacks that Theodore will launch. Ziel pretends to stumble and falls, so Theodore\'s sword just cuts through the wind.
"You\'re lucky again, but not this time!!" Theodore was angry that Ziel dodged his attack again.
1 aura seal is formed in Theodore\'s thigh. The speed and strength of Theodore increase 2-fold. He slashed his wooden sword towards Ziel\'s head.
"Theo what are you doing!? It\'s just training. Stop it!!" Princess Aishia shouted at Theodore.
"Theo you\'re cheating!?" Princess Elise followed Princess Aishia\'s screams.
The voice of Princess Aishia and Princess Elise screams at Theodore. But he didn\'t listen to what they were screaming. Perhaps his mind was filled with anger at not being able to hit Ziel with his sword. His rage that overflowed made him can\'t hear anything.
Ziel just narrowed his eyes. He slightly loosened the handle on the hilt of his sword. He was also Slashing his sword from below. When their swords clash, he slightly rotates his sword to change the direction of Theodore\'s attack and releases his grip on his wooden sword. So the sword was thrown. Theodore\'s attack was just a pass by Ziel.
Ziel Lift his hands to indicate his defeat. But Theodore doesn\'t see it, he\'ll come again to attack Ziel. He slashed his sword again towards Ziel. But Ziel didn\'t move to see Theodore\'s attack. Because he knew someone would stop him. It is true that before Theodore\'s attack touching Ziel there was a silver wall between Ziel and Theodore.
[Mercury Shield]
He heard a beautiful sound like a bell chanting the name of her spell.
(Is this mercury?)
Ziel saw a silver wall in front of him. And look at the girl who threw that magic. Princess Aishia.
"Theodore Blanco I said stop!!" Princess Aishia this time shouted louder.
Hearing Princess Aishia scream finally Theodore returns to his common sense. He then Kneels with one leg, Puts his head down, and apologized to Princess Aishia and Princess Elise.
"I beg your forgiveness Princess Aishia. I was too excited and carried away." Theodore made an excuse with a soft voice.
"You said get carried away? But you use your aura seal. Isn\'t this just sparring in pure swordsmanship? And you attacked Ziel with the intention of hurting him. Do you think I don\'t know?" Princess Aishia couldn\'t believe what Theodore was saying.
Theodore could only grit his teeth hearing what Princess Aishia had said.
"Once again I beg your forgiveness princess. I just got too carried away with my emotions. I promise I won\'t repeat anything like that again." Theodore could only admit his mistake with reluctance.
"Haah... I don\'t want to see anything like this anymore Theo. I understand very well what you are and what your purpose is to do this sparring. So please don\'t repeat it again." Princess sighed at what Theodore said.
"I get it." Theodore could only answer briefly.
After talking to Theodore, Princess Aishia saw Ziel from top to bottom.
"Ziel are you okay?" She asked with a somewhat worried face.
"Are you hurt? You look like you were attacked by Theo." Princess Elise\'s voice followed behind her.
Princess Aishia and Princess Elise asked about his condition. Meanwhile, Princess Elise examined his entire body in search of injuries.
"I\'m fine, Princess. Thank you for your concern." Ziel thanked the two Princesses.
Ziel bends his body a little. But he glanced at the Princess Aishia. He didn\'t look at her because she was beautiful. But because he was looking mana around Princess Aishia is raging greater than he\'s looking at it before.
The chaotic flow of mana will explode sooner or later. It seems that using the previous spell triggered mana rampage and getting out of control.
Princess Aishia looks pale holding back her unbearable pain. Ziel can see that from her. Even Princess Elise knows it. Because Occasionally she looks up at Princess Aishia.
"Nee-sama are you okay?" Princess Elise asked worriedly at Princess Aishia\'s condition.
"I\'m fine. I\'ll rest for a while. Take me to my room, Elise." Princess Aishia replied calmly.
"Yes, nee-sama." Princess Elise\'s reply still looked worried.
Princess Elise helped Princess Aishia to her room. And Theodore followed them from behind. He glanced at Ziel with hateful eyes before returning to follow the Princess sisters. Ziel just stood in his place while looking at the Princess sisters gone.
"Haah... I think I should do some extra work." He sighed tiredly.
Ziel walks away from the castle\'s back garden to his room.
