"ah... is that so," I am not surprised anymore by it and even if I was I don't have to worry about it.
One thing I know of my spirit is that he doesn't live with human logic. He literally is a walking airhead and that is not a problem for me but then Prince Zairon came.
"is he your knight? Punish him"
this kid is being bossy as soon as he came. What irritates me more is that he has reason for this. If others saw this especially someone who was narrow-minded nobles will say this is an act of disrespect for its master.
Why is he so mad about it though. Zairon glared at me when I did not answer him. I mean how could I give punishment to such a handsome spirit.
"just banish him,"
"I can't do that," I absolutely do not want this spirit to let out of my grasp. Besides, I can't banish a spirit. I tried it with Boaife before, but just like the book said, they will stay with me until I die.
"tsk, why? Then don't give him any food and lock him for a month." my mouth hang open because of his horrible suggestion.
"master I can run 200 laps just don't make me starve."
is that a new torture? I can't handle running 10 laps in my past life. Besides did he really think that I will really starve him?
"I agree with that brat's punishment master!" and Boaife starts calling me master and she couldn't contain her thrill with the punishment Zairon laid.
Obviously she liked to see Cervi starving and then she would eat in front of him. I had done that in my past life just to torment my friend after not eating for days.
"we should kill him," startled by what followed by, my mouth moved– cursing Zairon, "What the fxxk are you saying, Prince Zairon?"
it is too late to change what I said. A laughter from behind us and by this voice I kind of know that this is the 1st prince. He came along with Zairon which made me feel bad more than I'm feeling now.
I looked up and saw Zairon's face. I almost shrieked as I found him in a gloomy state when Prince Asterion patted his back rapidly.
"the young lady knows how to curse bwhahahaha," he really is having his time laughing,
"master, Im not banned from eating right?" Cervi is holding skewers in his hand. Somebody gave him food while we were at it. My head is throbbing painfully at this moment.
"..."
"I did not expect this..."
I surprised him, I think. "Uhm... what are you doing here anyway?" I asked and Prince Asterion replied, "To visit you, Wren. It's been a long time since we saw you. I heard you will not have a party for your birthday."
the news travels too fast, "We figured that we will visit you even though no reply came back"
Reply? I looked at both of them with such questions, Prince Asterion is smiling while Zairon looks away.
I knew it. Those letters he burned are from the palace and he doesn't want me to read it, but brother should have informed me! I am surprised to see the two princes here.
"prepare some food for the princes in the garden. We will eat there," I instructed the maid I am with and look up to see Prince Asterion has rune beaneath him as his golden eyes glow as his grin is totally visible.
wait, wait, what is this?!
"Your Highness what are you planning?!" I asked, "there is someone who hides their presence. We should... kill it"
they are really blood related as they both thought of killing someone today. I looked everywhere and found Cervi and Zairon on the other side while watching Prince Asterion cast his spell.
Cervi who sense I am staring at them suddenly pointed in front of them. I saw Boaife who was relaxing herself on the bench. Was it Boaife he sensed? Just as expected of a candidate of archmage.
Huh?!? Wait, what?! Why is she so relaxed there? She should have move or else the training ground will be in ruins!
"hey, doesn't it look like the Prince wants to play with me?"
"how can you be so laid back in this situation?!" I shouted in our minds. She then looked at me and said, "he can't kill me anyway."
that is not the point, I felt someone's hands on my wrist as it pulled me away, "move away" Zairon's cold voice stopped my conversation with Boaife.
Light sparks suddenly at Prince Asterion's palms. That kind of spark is dangerous right? Especially his magic takes too much time forming.
Please do not tell me that he is thinking of using some destruction kind of magic.
"YOUR HIGHNESS! STOP!"
my brother's shouts made us look at him, indeed his purple eyes are now gleaming with anger and reeking with murderous intent.
"refrain from using high-class magic here and do not destroy anything specially if Wren is right here,"
"..."
Prince Asterion did not retract the spell as the mana compressed into a ball and he shot it right at where Boaife was.
Caesar groaned apparently Prince Asterion listens well and minimize his mana input by forming it into a ball.
The blast was repelled by Boaife by her fire ball. Good thing the knights have a day off of training or else they will see this and think of it as a spectacle.
"Hey, he was serious about killing me!"
"You just figure that out now?!" I shouted back. Wait, I could feel someone's gaze piercing through my body. Why is everyone around me must be bloodthirsty?
"DAMN IT!" Boaife's shout made us look as she came out from the smoke, flipping her hair as she glared at Prince Asterion.
"Even if you are skilled in using mana you cannot kill a spirit!" she said angrily before throwing a fire in Prince Asterion.
The prince only laughed then looked at me, "I am right that you have a unique magic." he said suspiciously that I look at my brother who was in a bad mood today.
"is that the reason why you wanted to visit her?" and it appears that Zairon has no clue about his brother's plan at all.
"a summoner. I cannot believe that there is someone... heh, how valuable." he said with that hunting eyes of his that made me step back.
Valuable? that word made my heart lurch and such dark thoughts come all at once.
"brother the thing I want is to not get married," I said which made him frown, "where does this come from?"
it is obvious that because of this the 1st prince will set his eyes on me making his brother's... ugh... And why does Zairon looks so surprised of my request?
However, he asks, "then, she is a slave of Wren?"
"I am not a slave, damn it!" I can feel her fury within her.
"me neither," Cervi joined in the discussion which made Zairon and Boaife glare at him. Hey, Boaife had a team mate.
"... Hey," Prince Asterion swiftly moved closer to me and whispered, "Is your knight sane?"
Cervi on topic roamed his eyes round and did not mind Boaife and Zairon at all.
"yes, just an airhead." I answered honestly.
"Your spirit?"
"yes? yes," surprisingly, he found it out quickly, "well, because he's just like the wind,"
seriously?, "are you also a spirit?" I jokingly asked which made him smile as he put his pointed finger in front of his lips and said, "What do you think?" at this point I cannot help myself, but to feel fluttered of how charming Prince Asterion is.
---------------------------------------------------
"you are just like your master," Zairon said at Boaife who was smiling wickedly as she stared at the young kid.
"I am nothing like her. Besides, what are you doing here? Aren't you Wren's Fiancé?" Zairon coughed at the last part.
perhaps she chose the words wrong and thought of what Wren said about Zairon in her memories. Unfortunately, it was all about how he wants to avoid Prince Zairon and she likes his older brother more than him.
Speaking of the prince she just now noticed how quiet he became.
'after an attempted murder he left abruptly?'
she thought to herself, shortly after that she heard Caesar, Wren's brother saying, "Your Highness please distance yourself to my sister. She is weak to handsome faces"
Boaife burst into laughter while hammering the ground. Her brother is correct. Ever since Wren met Cervi, that is when she is sure that her master is weak to people who have good looks.
she even ranks them according to her taste. Obviously, she can hear what her master is thinking as both of them keep their mind link.
anyway, that is not the point here, see how Wren blushes right now at the sight of Prince Asterion? That's the fact of how weak she is.
'wait... that kid's name was Zairon right?' she then looks at the blue-haired kid standing there beside her.
'handsome faces huh...'
Boaife glances over Zairon and says, "You know, my master ranks you up based on your looks. Guess who weighs more"
It took Zairon's attention. Boaife is having fun upon seeing the expectation in his eyes, "You, Prince Asterion or Cervi?"
Zairon suddenly had the urge to kill the air spirit. He has in her ranking after all and even his brother?
"You can guess, Prince. Whoever weighs mo..." She grinned at Wren's face. Panicked and just as she guessed she would do anything to shut her mouth.
But not today she will shut up, because everybody is interested in it.
"don't even think about it!" she shouted at her spirit.
Cervi who listened to them suddenly remembered how Wren looked at him that time, but unexpectedly he did not think of it much as he thought of himself too little. For him his visuals is like a pebble on the road.
"That blue-haired brat is also on the list˜" she said teasingly while levitating on the air for not Wren to catch her.
Zairon hissed and pretended not to hear it on his way outside the hall, despite the fact that his cheeks were flushed.
Theo who noticed it tried to ask about it, but he was ordered to shut up. Caesar who heard it from the spirits lips became dark as he stared at the sky.
he remembered his sister's wish which is not to get married, "Even if you find him attractive you cannot marry someone." he suddenly said and patted her head.
"what a strict brother," Prince Asterion said and smiled teasingly at the young lord.
"anyway, your highness, are you not hungry?"
regardless of his annoyance with the 1st prince he is still the prince of the empire. Besides that he still has respect for the prince, "hmm... let's eat"
the two Vacarella led the way to the garden. Surprisingly Zairon is already on the table. Theo who noticed them suddenly lowered his head.
"how nice, you remembered the way."
Zairon flinched, but quickly hid it and said, "I stayed here for two weeks. It is easy to remember the way."
"oohh... so you two will really marry each other?" that question made her stomach ache. Caesar looked at her and said, "I will roast you for dinner if you don't shut up"
for some reason, she felt cold of his threat. They are really siblings however his threats are more scary than hers.
"..."
"your highness..." Caesar called the two princes while putting sugar in his tea and continued, "till now you haven't stated why you visited"
Prince Asterion's eyes glimmered with another interesting scenario in his head as he answered, "Zairon said he was worried for the young miss. Since she caught up with the incident in the East."
Zairon choke, which made Theo feel bad as he looks away, 'His highness can't be that obvious that he hates the young miss'
'worried, you forced him to come when he hated it'
Wren and Theo had the same thought because of him being choked. Besides, the people in the table doesn't know she's been caught up in a commotion once again. Before Caesar could ask about it, Wren grabbed a plate of cake and gave it behind, "Here Cervi, eat well."
even though his eyes were covered, Wren can still see how his eyes showed of excitement.
"what is he doing here?" Zairon asked with a light bit of annoyance in his voice.
"he's my personal knight after all." she answered and gave more food to Cervi.
Prince Asterion who saw this cannot help but to tease, "Your spirit is doted," he said
Wren quickly agreed, "yes, he was a child after all,"
Zairon's eyes widens, Asterion's brows furrowed as both of them asked in unison, "child?"
"yes, he is 10 years old in human age."
Both of the men were astonished as they looked at Cervi who was peacefully eating his cakes.
Caesar just watched them in silence as the day went by, both princes decided to stay at the mansion. The first prince planned to stay in the first place and Prince Zairon was drag along.
"this is so unfair." Wren complained in her sleep while both of her spirits are guarding her in her room.
