Chapter 24 - The scarlet knight and the demon kin clash

The two women are glaring at one another. Reiji looks at the new woman claiming to be his fiance. Rosalie just claimed the same.

The woman had a silver breastplate, and silver hemmed scarlet dress on her belt twin swords one golden the other silver. she was short but exhuded strength. her long ponytail dropped over her white porcelain skin with her silver eyes beguiling to look at her ears prove she is a high elf royal.

she stands up and looks at reiji mockingly.

your my supposed betrothed? I'm not impressed"

Rosalie smacks the table

"what do you know of sir reiji ? He is kind, valiant, brave and will save anyone."

The girl is startled she can sense Rosalie powers, but she believes her easy to kill so she scoffs.

" I don't know what makes you think your worthy of me Rosana the scarlet knight first princess of rashan." She says as she pats her own chest smugly.

Reiji sits in a chair and calls Francesca for some tea. she brings it in. But Francesca has a second job other than maid, so she eavesdrop on the conversation to notify the king if anything is awry.

reiji sips his tea and introduces himself.

" I am reiji hashimiya for some reason I was given this big house and tons of money I am an adventurer. this is Rosalie she is very dear to me if you wish for a fight."

Reiji stands walking towards rosana. rosana may be stronger but her eyes shake in terror as reijis pressure makes him look 10 times larger in her eyes.

she snaps out of it drawing her twin swords as they shine in the runic language of spells .

Reiji turns and sits back down and sips his tea the pressure is gone now. she puts her swords back in their sheaths sweating inwardly cursing her father.

"Dammit old man why would you want me to spy on this monster. I sense no power but his pressure is so immense like facing a ancient dragon."

Rosalie is angry her wings unfurl and she puts them around reiji. She slides her hands over his neck pressing her chest into his back. which causes reiji to spit out his tea.

" U..um Rosalie your."

She smiles.."My what reiji?"

she smiles like a naughty kitten who caught her mouse. rosana slams her fist down.

" I am sir reijis fiance and I will not allow anyone else to impede on that ground"

Rosalie laughs and says " I will be sir reijis first wife, and you she says pointing at rosana.

"I don't think your fit for someone like reiji."

Reiji inwardly screams." women are so difficult I never said anything about accepting either"

reiji pipes up " don't I get a say in this at all?"

the 2 girls say simultaneously "NO!!!"

Rosana is angry that she was forced to come here to be reijis fiance and smirks. " how about we fight and make a wager all at once for both of us to benefit from?"

Rosalie smiles "im listening."

rosana replies "we will fight to settle this dispute. if I win you will no longer be allowed near reiji and if I lose"

Rosalie angered by this comment interjects.

" if you lose you go back to your kingdom."

Rosanas arrogance doesn't allow her to see herself losing so she agrees" fine it's a deal"

Francesca comes back refilling reijis tea. reiji waves them down.

"girls you can't fight in my house please take it outside"

reiji opens a door to his backyard where a small arena is in the field.

Francesca whispers something to reiji.

"oh and Francesca here says who the winner is."

Down at the arena they both get ready Francesca brings out an long sword for Reiji and he inspects it. agreeing that it will work fine reiji hands it to Rosalie.

Rosalie blushes" my first present from my mate"

reiji reddens and says " just do your best if you win you can ask for something from me."

Rosalie eyes lighten up " really anything? "

reiji stutters a bit ..if..it's within my power or means I'll try ok?"

Rosalie jumps with renewed vigor putting on some light armor.

Rosana has already prepared and is angrily watching them flirt.

"this isn't a date you know!"

reiji steps back and Francesca brings him a seat. he sits and drinks his tea feeling good about his current life. Rosalie is smiling thinking to herself.

"A gift from reiji should I ask for a ring..or maybe a kiss?:

she starts blushing and drooling.."or maybe I'll just ask for him..hehehe."

rosana is disgusted by this look and goes to say something .

Fight Francesca yells snapping Rosalie out of her fantasy she scowls at Francesca.

Francesca just smiles and waves.

rosana rushes in swiping her blades in an x formation shooting out a sword wave in the same form.

Rosalie flies upwards over it and dives with her blade glowing with black fire.

rosana is shocked " Black fire!!!!! " she can't take this head on her only decision is jumping out of the way.

" a demon kin using hell fire how quaint.."

rosana puts both her swords down into the ground,

She begins chanting in ancient elven.. ashu soma hut shi. she chants these words and her swords are enveloped in white like fire.

she strikes her blades against the hell fire of rosalies weapon.

Rosalie notices her mouth chanting more and she shoots a few feathers at her stopping the chant and forcing them both back to the starting line.

Rosana is floored "just what star level are you?"

Rosalie puffs her chest out. " I am a knight rank demon kin. I have a very strong father and my mate will be even stronger eventually.

reiji again spits his tea..."mate..what the hell rosalie"

Rosalie smirks like a she just claimed victory her ears pointing and moving a bit in pride.

rosanas face darkens.

"your going to wish you hadn't gloated so much."

suddenly the arena shakes and flaming pillars shoot from the ground startling rosalie.

she deftly dodges the flaming pillars.

Rosalie shoots black flame spears at rosana.

rosana deftly cuts them all down and walks towards Rosalie position.

Rosalie lands and says "I have one more thing to try rosana are you ready?"

rosana nods with a serious expression.
