Chapter 18

Max who strikes at Duke's legs gets strikes back on his back by the duke. Max still held his ground and again attacked on duke.

Fena who was running towards duke suddenly vanishes from her way. Duke's gets confused as to be where she had gone?

Max gets beaten up seriously by the duke and duke's thinks of stopping Max from Fighting any further until Max calls out Fena name.

Max, Who was lying on the ground injured while his right hand bleeding calls out Fena name suddenly," Fena now, Do it! Now is the only chance."

Max and I both played the role of decoy. Because I was sure that old man would go after me. When he will get the chance, And he sure did get lured. He led his guards down around Max that was the moment I got the chance.

Duke Who was standing surprised at the shout of Max gets struck by the fire spirit power of Fena and lands further away from Max.

Fena who tries to pick up the injured Max, Gets struck by duke on her left shoulder and gets thrown further away from Max.

Now the duke keep all his attention towards Fena and walks forward to her, "You sure did a Job on my arm. Now I will see how you get out of this situation and win."

Fena who was collapsed on the ground sits up on her knees and looks at the ground, As the duke reaches to her," Hmm! Lost the will to fight already? Don't tell me this is what you got only? I didn't train you personally to show me this pathetic skills."

The duke who was angry at Fena suddenly feels hit by something hot and cold at the same time. As he raises his eyes to look," You sure are becoming dull minute by minute in this match old man. You already lost the moment you targeted Max first."

Duke's looks at Fena shockingly," It seems I am hit by both snow spirit and fire spirit power at the same time in my back and stomach, Seems I sure aged that I didn't even notice this little trick of yours."

After striking the duke, Max who was still standing holding his sword towards the duke's neck and at the same time Fena holding her sword towards the duke too.

On the other hand the match between Lucas, Dion and the former emperor...

Former Emperor who wasn't giving an opening to the both boys. Started to get more fast after seeing the duke lose.

Dion : "Your Highness! What's with the Former Emperor moves and speed? Isn't it getting faster and harder second by second?"

Lucas : "No, He is in a hurry because the timing of match ends is near! He somehow wants the match to have a winner or a loser. He isn't up for a tie in this match. If that's the case then the winners will be us. Fena and Max already won and ended the match, We can't be left behind."

Dion : "I envy them for pulling such a cool combo in the last moves."

Lucas : "Don't worry we will win too! While pulling a cooler move than them."

Lucas also started to move fast and signaling Dion to move fast too.

Both of them nod at each other and strikes at the former emperor.

Former emperor thought that Lucas is trying to copy Max and thinking of attacking him from the back by his spirit power. While Dion on the front playing decoy.

Little did the former emperor know about the boys plan. Lucas who was on the back side changed his direction and struck former emperor with his water spirit power from the front and gets away from him, While sending Dion with the pressure of water spirit power to close the distance between Dion and the former emperor.

Dion struck the former emperor with his sword on his head, At the same time former emperor throws Dion on the ground far away from him without noticing that the Lucas was already in his range. Lucas gets close to the Former Emperor and struck him in knees. The poor old man gets on his knees and times up, Ending the match in Lucas and Dion victory.

I was really happy at the fact how the both old men were sitting on the ground. While we were injured still standing on the ground.

Max : "We finally made them taste the feeling of a loser."

Lucas : "Finally they got their a$$ kicked."

Dion : "I think! We shouldn't be too happy since we barely manage to win against them."

Lucas and Max : "Stop spoiling the fun and the feeling of getting the victory against such crazy giants."

The three of them gets quiet suddenly. When they look at Fena who was standing there while looking at the ground.

Max : "Say, What happened to her? Why she is looking at the ground?"

Dion : "My lady! What happened?"

Lucas : "What are you looking at Fena?"

Fena who was standing far from them and near the duke, Looking at the blood on the ground.

I was happy about the fact how we took our revenge and won but just when I was about to leave the training ground, I saw blood stains on the ground. When I followed the blood stains, I found old man throwing blood.

Hey! Old man, What's with this? We didn't hit you this hard that you would start throwing blood?

Duke who was sitting on the ground gets up and smacks Fena on her head," How cruel can you be to your grandfather? You hit me with your spirit power, Not only one but twice and dare to say that you didn't hit this hard. I will show you now."

Duke's drags Fena by her ear and gets closer to the boys and former emperor.

Former emperor stands up and starts talking, "Ahem! So today's match winners are you guys and with this we selected the last remaining members."

Duke let go off Fena's ear and stand with the former emperor.

Dion who was confused same as Fena asked," Your Grace and Your Highness! May I ask about what is that we are selected for?"

Duke's steps forward and looks at Fena," The list of members who will join the battle at the border for four years. We are going to leave for the border in two weeks and by the time we will reach there, It will be one month already."

Fena, Who was standing there while looking eye-to-eye duke starts taking step back," Ha, ha, ha, Sounds rough for you all, Being the big figure of the empire doesn't let you have easy. I pray for your victory from the depth of my heart."

As soon as I finished talking, I started to run for the gate. Because At this moment all I could think of was running. I forgot they never cared about it, Whether I am child or not. They just do the things they want to.

I was caught by the former emperor by my collar and thrown back to the old man.

"You know, You should stop running and start getting ready to leave Fena. I am giving two weeks to you all for preparing and visiting the places you want to because for the next four years, You are only going to see hell."

Both of the old man's started to leave while leaving behind the speechless Fena.

I was so pissed at the old man for throwing such news at me so easily.

"Old man, You better come back here! You expect me to accept this without putting up a fight."

The three of the boys were watching Fena shouting.....

Max : I knew it was going to be something like that because they always do after all, The coward emperor never says anything to them.

Lucas : They are not doing because they want to or the emperor wants that. This is what the council members decided. They sure are messed up in their heads.

Max : I do get that if it were only the two of us. What's with these under ages. Aren't they younger?

Lucas : When council members decides, There is no longer anything like underage. They always go after the people they don't like. This is the quick way to remove the illegitimate successor of the grand duke and make the legitimate child as the duke successor.

Dion : Is it that bad having My Lady as the duke successor even though the duke himself decided, And he is dead set on it. To me, It never felt like the duke is ever going to change the successor.

Lucas : I know right! He is seeing something that we can't see. I get this feeling whenever I see the duke staring at Fena.

Max : "Why do you care about such things? She is stupid, Selfish and Pathetic but...."

Lucas and Dion : But?? But??

Max who looks at Fena and smirks," But she is not useless, At least I can use her for the time being. Let's grab her and have snacks at the near cake shop."

' I don't like her, But she is not bad since she didn't doubt my skill and relayed on me with full trust. I guess at least I can get along with her'

Lucas laughed at the Max acting, "You aren't being honest? Are you?"

Dion : I suggest! First you three should get treated, Please have the treatment first.

Butler Jean who comes to the kids," It's just as the Dion said first get treated then you can go wherever you want. So! Follow me."

Max and Lucas grabs Fena by each arm and drags her with them," Stop! Shouting and come with us to get treated."

Lucas who looks at the Fena for a while," Max is giving us treat, Where are going to visit the near cake shop. I have heard its sells very delicious strawberry cakes."

Fena who was refusing to go anywhere stops the moment she heard about the strawberry cake and let herself dragged by the two of them.

Dion looks at the lady with pitiful eyes and follows them," My lady is really hopeless."

Max who was dumb founded, "When did I say it's my treat?"

"Don't be cheap! Aren't you the crown prince of the empire? Do you want me to tell the people that you can't afford some snacks for your future Archuke and Duke."

Max who gave up arguing since he was out of energy, "Whatever it is, Okay! Fine."

The four of them get treated and falls asleep in the living hall on the sofas.

They didn't get to visit the cake shop that day since they fell asleep.

Extra Story

(When they were getting treated)

Doctor : "You all got broken bones, I suggest you all to stay at your beds for some days."

Max : "I got only two broken ribs and an injury on my right hand, How pathetic of you three?"

Lucas : "I got only one broken arm, And it will heal in one week, You are the one who is pathetic."

Dion : "I only got two fingers broken, It will heal in three days. The one who is in worse condition is the Lady."

Fena : "No, It's only my both hands bones are cracked, Eyes are swollen, And my ankles are sprained, My left shoulder is bruised that's all. It will heal soon so no need to worry."

The three of them looked at Fena with a surprised face and said," Just how much positive you can be?"
