Lucian scoffed at his father's word 'i am not weak ' . He held his sword in a long point stance "I am ready". He really wanted to show his father what it meant to be the student of a fury.
"Your highness, If I dear, I would suggest you reconsider". The lady spoke . She had blue hair cut to reach her ears and a shining golden eyes that would make you think she always activated her bloodline powers but that was just her eye colour .
"Go all out Emera " Ray called out from the back where he sat. As much as he wanted to support his son, putting him out of his arrogance would benefit him more.
Emera blushed at the king knowing her name which made her panicked more 'what if he comes to look for me when I hurt his son ' .
"Don't worry, I won't come looking for you if you hurt him" Ray read her thought from how her facial expression was "even if you cut a limb or two— it will grow back in two days at most, with the help of the medical team, it would shorten by a day" Ray said trying to abuse the Ortanian regenerative ability .
The Ortanians aren't like vampires who could have their severed limb grow back immediately. They had to wait for two days to make it grow back, and since a lost of any limb could reduce a person's strength be it human or anybeing, they spend those days locked up inside by themselves due to their pride.
The Ortanians could also see clearly in the dark, mist and far as long as they activated their bloodline power which is in their eye . They also have speeds and could read an attack trajectory but not energy attack, if activated.
"Your highness. Severing a young child limbs would cause a...a...a" she really did not know which right word to use "trauma, yes trauma " she seemed to remember when she hit her head with her palm. It shows how forgetful she could be, or maybe she didn't really knew the word to use.
"Is she okay ?" Lucian asked with a raised eyebrow. For some reason, the girl seem to have a screw bot missing, then he remembered what she said and lost his cool "I am not a child !"he screamed as he ran fast then swung his sword in an horizontal line, sending an aura of his dark energy curved like a half moon in the process .
Emera sighed at Lucian lost of cool, then stretched her fingers and gently tapped on the blade aura to disperse it "sigh...young children this days " she sighed at Lucian getting upset at being called a child .
There are rules in everything, and this rule either keeps us safe or confines us. There is a rule related to fighting an enemy which is unknown .
The number one being 'never get too close but attack from a distance to check their power gauge ' and that was what Lucian did .
'what power does she have ? She isn't even using her energy too . Then what is her power ?' lucian tried analysing Emera's strange power of stopping his energy attack before it could get to her.
"Lucian . That was a good fight strategy at the start but it won't work on Emera " Ray shouted from his throne where he held a pop corn and a camera by his side. He palnned to film Lucian's fight and name it 'lucian amazing struggle '.
"This will surly sell in the cinemas " Ray whispered to himself.
"Father !" Lucian called in a stressed tone. This was not he first time he planned on selling his moments to the cinemas.
"Your majesty, fighting here could damage the castle " Emera reminded.
"Do not worry, the castle is more durable than you think " Ray answered . If the council were to hear that the king approved a fight in the castle, the throne room no less, he would have an earful of how childish and irresponsible he is as making , ' those god forsaken geezers '.
"Ha...his majesty" Emera sighed. She wondered if this was the rumored dignified great king of Orton
"You should be taking this seriously. I am going all out! " Lucian warned, he really didn't like the girl lack of care for the duel. He wasn't feeling good the slightest at being ignored by the opponent so he decided to rush his attacks with an Horizontal strike but Emera seeing it early, side stepped while stretching her feet to hit Lucian legs.
"Ouch ..."Lucian let out a low cry of pain when he fell face flat.
"Hahahah..." Ray laughed while hitting his fist on the throne's arm.it was more than durable to withstand the great king's fist even if light. "that was funny " he said amidst laughter while holding his belly.
"Damn " Lucian cursed as his eyes glowed azure blue . He decided to use the bloodline powers. He punched his fist on the ground and with the momentum, he pushed himself back up to his feet.
"hmph. I was careless" he scoffed at his father laughter. "this time..." he said taking another sword stance. "I won't fall for the same trick " he said with a determined expression.
"Yeah, yeah "Emera answered in an unconcerned manner "lets get this over with shall we? " she hurried as if she was in a rush.
Lucian really wanted to use his energy to copy Emera's power but that proved impossible. He had to understand how the power works and the person had to use it long enough for him to learn a skill or two to be able to use their power.
"Damn this "he spat out then went for a thrust but was pushed back when his sword got three feet to Emera .
"That wouldn't work either young prince " she said then swept his feet with hers making Lucian fall with his butt.
"Ahhh...!"Lucian screamed . He has come to a realization that he would never defeat this lady no matter how hard he tried but just incase, he went for a lunge strike to help him close the distance between them, but he was met with a spartan kick this time which sent him crashing towards the throne room door.
"Ack..." he grinned in pain and for the first time, blood came out his lips .
"Okay , end of duel" Ray stood up from the throne. If he let it go anyloneger, lucian would only be in more pain without landing a single strike at Emera. She was that strong.
"Yes your majesty " Emera answered .
"Yes father " Lucian answered 'thank Orton he stopped it . I would have died of embarrassment ' .
"You can go Emera . You did a good job " Ray praised .
Emera had a beaming smile when the king touched her shoulder 'this would definitely increase my rankings ' she said before a light engolfed her and she vanished back to where she came .
"This would sell a lot " Ray spoke with a smile while looking at the tattered prince with is camera .
"Father! bring that here! " Lucian yelled as he sent energy upon energy strike to destroy the camera but his father already ran of.
"Hahahaha..." Ray laughed teasingly .
"Ahhh!!! Father bring that here " Lucian chased forgetting his clothes was already ruffled as with his hair .
"Ha...the king again " the gaurd hit his palm on his forehead . He was already used to this scene .
