Chapter 7 - Palace

Liam woke early in the morning to do the house chores. He's really gotten used to waking early in the morning to go to the plantation for their veggies there.

He was cooking when Zaki approached him and that made him startled.

"Hmmm.. I can already say that it's really good just by smelling it."

"Hehe.. I'll be done in a minute."

He continued cooking while Zaki sat in the dining area.

"Hmm! Smells so good!"-Ruwan

"Good morning Ruwan"-Liam

"Morning, you're so early"-Ruwan

"I'm just too excited to see the palace."

"The palace?"-Ruwan

He was preparing the dishes when Yeind walked downstairs.

"Good morning everyone."

She sleepy greet and yawn

"Good morning Vice-"

He bleeds as face Yeind with her two piece nighties.

"Pfft! Did I make your heart beat fast?"

Yeind chuckled as she saw Liam's face.

He immediately wiped his nose with the back of his hand.

"You will get used to it bro, she's always like that."-Ruwan

There's a thin silk on her shoulder but doesn't cover her nice body.

"Woah! Sexy body! Good morning everyone! We're going to the palace?! Yiieeh! I can't wait to spar with someone!"-Hunter

When Liam finished wiping his nose he immediately sat along with them, beside Yeind.

"Where's master? Is she still asleep?"-Liam

"No, she and Trijeus went outside."-Yeind

"When?"-Ruwan

"Midnight "

She simply answered.

After they had their breakfast, all of them prepared to visit the palace.

"Are you all done?"-Yeind

"Almost vice M!"-Ruwan

*Pop*

A magic circle popped on the ear of Yeind while Liam was beside her. Sign that someone is calling her.

"Gream?"

Liam looks at the magic circle on her ear with amazement.

"Wow"-Liam

"Get in here Yeind"-Gream

She calmly commands.

Liam startled as he heard Gream's voice in that circle. He smiled and tried to touch the magic circle but he couldn't hold it.

"Wow! Is that you master? That thing is so awesome!"

He exclaimed

Yeind chuckled as she saw the twinkling eyes of Liam.

"You're really cute Liam haha.."-Yeind

Gream frowned when she heard the sexy tone of Yeind to Liam.

"DON'T JUST STAND AND TALK THERE! GET YOUR ASSES HERE RIGHT NOW!"

She shouted and made the magic circle disappear.

Her fellow Captain is teasingly looking at her.

The Captain of Clover is smiling at her

The Captain of Heart is smirking at her

While the Captain of Diamond doesn't show any kind of emotion, she can clearly see in her eyes that she was preventing herself from laughing and teasing her too.

"I really want to meet that new member of Rowdy Spade right now." Ki said in her teasing tone.

She's a blood manipulator and she can make you follow what she wants you to do.

"I heard that he doesn't have any potential, it's really getting more interesting."

Arian smirked, the Captain of the Heart group.

She's a metal user and good for attack and defence.

"Don't try to say something Ash, I'm so done for their nonsense talk so don't butt in."

She said to the Captain of Diamond who's

just shrugged at her.

She's a fine manipulator.

"I don't have a plan to speak if you just haven't mentioned my name."

In every back of the captain's there's a member who is responsible to protect them if something might happen, so Trijeus is present there, it should be Yeind but Gream told her to take care of the things they need in base.

They are all in the long table but their eyes are on Gream only.

"The most handsome in your house is Trijeus so tell us, is he more handsome to Trijeus or not?" Arian teasingly asked

She glared at her. She doesn't want to answer that kind of question because she doesn't want to make someone in their house feel insecure. The looks of Liam are exceeding the handsomeness of her fellow comrade. Liam looks like royalty despite the fact that he's just a mere peasant.

"It's for us to find out."-Ki

She pissed and looked at the three on the table.

"What the hell are you all doing here anyway? There's no meeting for captain's but you're all here?"

She irritated asked

"We're just curious about what we heard. You've been awake for three days only after you cast that kind of magic of yours? You're usually awake for weeks and the longest is months but now you're here glaring with us? What really happened to you?"-Ki

Gream massaged her temple and closed her eyes to calm herself.

"Trijeus."-Ash

He nervously looked at Captain Ash's eyes.

"Yes captain Ash."

He hurriedly answered.

"Tell us on which do you think more handsome on you and your new comrade?"-Ash

Trijeus startled on what Ash wanted him to do while Gream opened her eyes and glared at her.

"A-ahh- I don't know Ms. Ash."

Ki suddenly clapped while looking at them.

"So you mean it might be the same level or even more from you? Woah! I really can't wait!"

'Why are they all desperate about the looks? Tss!' she asked herself

*Frowned*

"You can judge when they come."-Trijeus

*BLAG!*

*BOOM!*

Something explodes outside their meeting room that shocks all of them. They all stood up and hurriedly went to the lobby where the explosion took place.

They saw Hunter holding his lightning bat while excitedly looking at Ki's comrade.

"Kaiser!"-Ki

Kaiser didn't look at her but just glaring at Hunter who's looking at him with a smile.

They are in their fighting position waiting for each other to attack.

"Hunter!"-Gream

"Uh? HAHAHA HI MASTER! We're just exercising. He's prohibiting Liam from entering here because he doesn't have a mana so I made him taste my own mana.. HAHAHAHA!"

Behind Hunter are her comrades who are gathering and doing something on the floor.

"Haaay.. Rowdy Spade will always be Rowdy Spade."

Gream and Ki both locked up their subjects using their powers.

"Uh? HAHAHA!"-Hunter

"People who don't have mana don't belong here!"

Kaiser said while holding his right arm that was hit by Hunter's bat.

When Gream saw what her comrades gathering for she's been surprised for the current situation of Liam. He's shedded with blood and can't barely breathe because of something hurting him on his stomach.

"Liam."

She whispered.
