after the duel between faes and lucas belle was not determined enough to fight sky and hence they ended up leaving the arena.
after a quick lunch cleo belle and lucas took their leave to rest and continue their own journey while faes and sky too rested in mystic fog castle before exploring the city.
while exploring the city faes got a call from her father king augustus. she took sky in a cafe and picked the call after taking a seat in the corner.
"greetings royal father" "greetings your majesty" faes and sky greeted king augustus who appeared in front of them.
king augustus was quite surprised to see sky along with faes as he had not seen them together before but he knew that they were together on their journey hence he calmed down and nodded with a smile in return
"i believe you are already in sea point city?" king augustus inquired to which faes nodded while sky was busy ordering snacks for them to the female waiter which appeared near them
"your sister was originally coming to pick you up but she encountered some problems and was unable to arrive there. i will contact the duke and have him escort you to the castle personally." king augustus actually contacted faes to tell her about this arrangement. while nia was going to pick faes up she encountered some trouble and had to cancel her plans to go to faes. this had made king augustus depressed but once he thought about having the duke of sea point city dukedom he held hope.
"not to be disrespectful royal father but i don't think it will be wise to contact lord duke" faes interrupted king augustus hope "i believe other than royal family and other selected few no one knows that i am not in the capital's royal palace. if you contact lord duke then it will cause a commotion"
actually faes didn't wanted to go into political mess and wanted to live peacefully for as long as she can. hence she decided to refuse the idea and there was also the reason that she was looking for someone to teach her new skills.
"you are correct! then which way are you coming to the capital? i will send some shadow guards for your safety" king augustus sighed
"royal father; i wanted to ask something" faes said suddenly. her father was the emperor of kingdom altai and he might know someone to teach her new skills, hence why not ask him?
king augustus was elated hearing faes his gloomy expression vanishing. this was the first time in a while that faes had taken initiative to ask something from him and he was going to do his best to answer her.
"my skills and experience isn't at the level they should be, can you suggest someone who can help me improve my skills and martial arts?" faes asked
king augustus fell into deep thought hearing faes question. there were many people in the kingdom who can teach faes but the main problem was that he didn't knew faes current level. from her fight against liam that he saw in the video he can deduct that she might have some good skills otherwise she wouldn't have managed to become a dragon princess that the whole dragon kingdom admired and respected. not to mention faes had told him she can teleport!
hence she would need a high levelled teacher! he can think of few people who can teach her but they were all currently not in capital.
"there are few people who can help you if you are looking for a magical class instructor lady ira can help you she is also living in capital currently; if you are looking for physical instructor to help with weapons then lord shiva can help you, he is currently in village farcas taking his time training the soldiers there. there are also other teachers who can help you with different elements and skills; for precise instructor i would need to know for what you are looking for" king augustus spoke after thinking for a while.
though he wanted faes to get to the capital asap he couldn't let her down. if she wants to learn something he would let her learn it; if she chooses a instructor that isn't in the capital then he can just contact them and tell them to keep her safe wherever she will be. after all she was now back in her own kingdom.
"i need to increase my martial arts and weapons skills; though i would also need to review my magical skills but they are fine for now hence weapons and martial arts teacher is good" faes replied excited. she can finally improve her skills!
"then lord shiva will be best; he is currently in village farcas which is famous for its compact power using all kind of weapons and martial arts. he is there training his personal army and also looking for an heir; if you want i can order him to help you" king augustus offered but faes shook her head
"i don't want my instructor to know who i am; otherwise they wont treat me properly as a student. hence i would like to learn under lord shiva by myself!"
if the people knew that she was their princess they would either take her lightly treating her delicately or bully her. in either case it wont help her; hence hiding her identity was best choice for now.
"i understand but if you want to learn from lord shiva you would either have to join his army or pass his personal test to become his disciple which isn't easy" king Augustus knew shiva's nature and his passion for a good fight. many people with high cultivation and skillset wanted to be lord shiva's heir but they all failed to even become his disciple. this was the same case for lady ira who was looking for a disciple in the capital city.
"don't worry about that; sky and i can handle any test" faes replied patting sky's head
"yes! bis sister faes is correct, with sky sister faes can take care of any test!" sky too exclaimed excitedly making king augustus shake his head.
"fine then i will not inform lord shiva about you but you have to promise to stay in his care till the time you are there; i cant rest easily otherwise"
"i will be under his care don't worry royal father, and tell big sister nia that i will need time to come back to capital as i was going to get trained. and also don't tell them where i am."
"alright; but continue to contact us from time to time otherwise i would come there to pick you up myself" with some pleasantries they ended the call. faes felt better now that she knew a place where she can improve her skills.
