Chereads / Stoneix High / Chapter 3 - A RISING ENMITY

Chapter 3 - A RISING ENMITY

"Heir and heiress of each kingdom, you may now proceed to bring your fellow classmates or schoolmates to your respective dormitory." The headmistress announced

and as on cue, we all went to our respective dorms, while my fellow Elementians are following behind me, and Rovina at my side, walking silently.

-

When we all reach at the front of the building, I directly stopped and face at the students behind me.

"Before we all get going inside, I, Princess Ebieria of Elementia, must remind you of the rules and regulations when you enter the dormitory, and a small information about this building,"

"First, fighting is not allowed especially using your powers, 2nd, non-royalties are not allowed to go up to the 9th floor, 3rd, no one is allowed to go out from the dorm at midnight, and lastly, no one is allowed to let a Valorian inside an Elementian dormitory. am I clear?"

"Yes, your highness!" They all answered in unison

"And about the dormitory, this one that you are seeing right now, is our dormitory, called the House of Elements, there are also 5 different dormitories that are placed on far different areas here in Stoneix, which owns by the other 5 kingdoms, and I know that some of you are wondering, if non-Elementian students can visit the house of Elements, and yes, they can." I stopped talking for a bit, then continued

"Does anyone have a question?" I asked

"I do your highness!" I look at the far left corner to see who was raising their hand, and surprisingly it's the ruby haired that Rovina was fussing about, I think his name was Ryezon Revis

"You may now ask,"

"You had just said right now that non-Elementian students are allowed to go in our dormitory, but didn't you say that the fourth rule is "Valorians aren't allowed to go in the Elementian dormitory"?

Oh, I forgot to clarify about that

"Good question, and yes, despite the other creatures, those Vampires from Valoria are not welcome in this dorm, and it is because, Elementians and Valorians are mutual enemies, and I could also tell that we are not welcome in their dorm as well, is that all?"

"Can't Valorians and Elementians be friends like the other creatures?" Then I heard gasps from the remaining students, including Rovina.

"No they can't, bec-" I was about to explain the situation, but then he suddenly interrupted.

"Why can't they!?" he continued, now I can understand why Rovina doesn't like the presence of this creature, he does not have proper etiquette.

"Ruby-haired, do you know that you're being very rude to her highness right now?! I suggest that you apologize to her." Rovina then told off Ryezon, looking very irritated

"and is there a reason for me to listen to you?" he shot back at Rovina, making the spectators shock.

Rovina's expression starts to darken which is making her lose her composure 

"There is a lot of reason for you to listen to me if you don't wanna get exiled from your own kingdom." 

"if you're trying to frighten me then I apologize, for it's not working."

"using the power of a title is clearly wrong but in your case, as you disrespect two royalties in a row, I would be ecstatic to explain your situation right now," Rovina said in a sarcastic tone

Ryezon's expression changed into a confused one. "what do you mean?" he said.

"First of all, the creature you had rudely interrupted awhile ago is my cousin, Princess Ebieria, heiress of Elementia, the kingdom where your bloodline came from. Second of all, how you speak to me is like your looking down on a commoner, I didn't really introduce myself since I do not want to be the center of attention, but now I'll gladly introduce myself to you," Rovina said with a piercing expression

"I am Lady Rovina, daughter of Duchess Ireyns of Elementia and next in line of being the Fire guardian." she continued

I can clearly see a tint of shock and guilt on Ryezon's eyes

"and because of what you did, you deserve to be punished." and with that, Rovina's eyes began to glow, which made the spectators run behind me.

She suddenly summoned a massive fireball then throw it like a cannonball towards Ryezon

'wind barrier'

before the fireball could hit Ryezon, I immediately summoned a wind barrier which causes the fireball to be trapped in it and later disappear.

"Both of you go to the student council's office right now!" I shouted feeling disappointed of the two

I'll just let Salvage deal with them, by now the magic mirror have already reported the violation Rovina made.

"And the rest of you, get inside the dormitory and get in your respective rooms, since tomorrow will be the official start of the classes, all of you may take your rest for today," I continued.

I was about to check if there are still students left outside but then professor Liwei suddenly appeared.

"Your highness, headmistress Amrea requests your presence right now"

"I'll be heading there," I answered like I had already predicted this would happen.

-

"Princess Ebieria, I'm glad you could make it"

"headmistress Amrea" I smiled then courtsied. The headmistress might not be a royalty in Enchantia, but she and the headmistress of spectre university is far more superior since they are the angels from Archane, who guarded or take care of the 2 most important magic stones in Enchantia, the power and time stone.

"headmistress, if it's about what happened outside the house of Elements, I apologize on behalf of my cousin and mr. Revis" I apologized sincerely

"oh darling, It's okay, afterall we all know how Lady Rovina is, and I actually didn't call you here for that," she told me while smiling sincerely

"I actually called you here since I heard about your royal duel request with Prince Austin, and don't worry, duels aren't forbidden in this school after all. I just wanted to tell you personally that the arena of Aries has already been finished building, so I requested that you and Prince Austin will take your royal battle in that place and it will be a great start where both of you get to try the arena first"

"that'd be great, I'm pretty fine with it, but isn't the arena placed outside of Stoneix, from what I've known in the rules is that only 1-10 students are allowed to go out of the school premises, especially if they are visiting there kingdoms or they have something important to do outside the school, then how would the other students witness the battle?"

"About that, I placed five massive magic mirrors inside the school, two in the grand hall, one on the court yard, one at the front of the house of Elements, and one at the front of the house of Vampires, and don't worry, the magic mirrors that I placed outside of the two dorms are temporary, so after you and the prince's royal duel, it'll just disappear instantly"

"Oh I see" Then I nodded agreeing to what the headmistress said.

"and lastly, I decided this new arrangement because I don't want the same incident that happened on Princess Owlfia and Prince Rikou's royal duel last year will happen again, I don't want another of my students will accidentally get involve in a fight that they aren't even part in the first place,"

"I get what you mean headmistress and I strongly support this new arrangement after all, the safety of the students is the number one priority," I answered with pure sincerity

"I'm glad your fine with this Princess, and one more thing before you can head back.." she suddenly stood up and went to her bookshelf, then she took a golden book which is actually more of like a box looking like a book, and in it is a golden bracelet with a mini-scythe dangling on it.

"Here, take this" she gave it to me while smiling warmly

"W-wait, headmistress why are you giving this to me?" I asked confused, the headmistress is not having her favorites right?

"oh, your mother, gave this to me 2-3 years ago, she told me that once the time comes, I'll give this to you,"

"What do you mean headmistress? and my mother?"

"Soon, you'll figure it out by yourself," she said while smiling then went back to her seat

"For now, it's a secret for me to know and for you to find out,"
