In the palace
Time moved fastly and finally the celebration came to its end. The king once again addressed to the people present in the celebration
"Every one, I hope you all enjoyed to your hearts content. My sincerest gratitude to everyone".
"Now i have something important to announce. As everyone must have already known about the incident involving the "OATH OF FIRE GOD"".
"Fire God is a supreme being to us fire practitioners and specially to our fire clan. We will never tolerate any blaspheme towards him", Said the king, while saying it he looked at everyone then turned towards the pair of father and daughter and released his pressure,
Which immediately forced both of them on their knees.
"Miren de shui" & "Guang de shui" do you both know what sin have you committed, said the king
"Please enlighten us, 'Your majesty'", said Mr. Guang
" Miren de shui, in the name of fire god you made a bet, then lost it, but, didn't fulfil the wager", said the king
"There is a reason 'Your Majesty", answered miren
"What is the reason", asked the king
"Huli cheated on that day", said miren
"Huli", Called the king in loud voice
"Yes, Your Majesty" replied Huli
"What do you have to say for this claim", asked the king
"Your majesty i won her fair and square. She claims I cheated, can she prove it", said huli
"I.., we can have fight, for the proof",Said Miren
"'Fight, very well, we will fight'. your majesty if you allow'", said huli
"Ok., but everyone here have precious time that can not be wasted. So finish it quickly", said the king
After a while people left the central area to have enough space for both of them to fight
Huli and miren both wore their defensive armors. as magicians their body is weak so they can only wear armors to protect them.
"Alright start", anounce the king
'Huli' used her wand to improve her condensing of the elements and her spiritual power to form small fire arrows and blasted them towards 'miren'.
Miren on the other hand used her wand to create a barrage of waves and moved them to meet the barrage of arrows
Both attacks met each other, the arrows are piecing the waves but more and more waves are coming to push them. This resulted into a confrontation of both attacks in which none got the upper hand.
The power and control in their attacks showed that both of them are at initial stages i.e. 1 to 3
Of 3rd level mage, But in terms of control miren is better than huli because the wand she is using is of higher quality then miren.
Huli while controlling the existing arrows compressed another arrow but almost three times larger than the previous arrows and shoot it as well. As a counterattack miren increased spiritual power to increase the size and density of waves. The result becomes the stagnation of this arrow as well.
Huli then pulled the previous arrows back and placed them behind the big arrows while changing the shape of these arrows to a ball. More fire elements joined them and compressed them.
'Boom..Boom..Boom..' she made the balls burst one by one. The bursting balls created pushing force which pushed the big arrow. With every burst the arrow would move forward and like this cam to the middle of waves. After it landed in the middle of the waves. The front waves dettached them from the middle waves and went forward. This cancelled the boost, the main arrow was getting.
So far with the performance every strong person can know that miren is better.
At this time when the main arrow is suppressed and huli is on the verge of defeat huli recited a forbidden incantation in her mind and 'boom' the dimmed fire arrow and fire ball blasted and due to the blast the waves disappeared.
But the fire elements stayed and reformed into a fire sword. The control is still something not of higher quality but the fire's quality is something which has improved.
"Hah.....the battle is over",sighed a man sitting in one corner
"Boom.." the sword went like light while distorting the space
"Shup..."a compressed pillar of water emerged this is the strongest attack miren had, she directly used her strongest attack because she felt danger from that sword.
Both the attacks met and, "gulp.. ger.." the fire sword went straight into pillar although the speed reduced but it has not stopped.
"Zhip.. lot of water pillars attacked the sword form every direction, the speed and size of the sword decreased yet again but still not stopped.
As her last move she covered herself with waves. "Zulp.. chish.." the waves are trying to stop the sword and the sword kept on piercing her. This struggle continued for a while. But, at last, the sword reached her.
Before it could stab her the sword vanished,and a voice came
"Ok, i guess this is enough to prove that huli has the strength to defeat you", said the king
"Hah.. miren staggered while gasping for breath. whereas huli vomited blood and went unconscious. some people noticed that huli's vitality or life energy has reduced by almost 20 percent. But didnot said anything since speaking against the king will never be in their favour.
"Ok, since everything has proved then i want to ask you guang. What sin your daughter had commited", asked the king
"She lost the bet, but did not fulfilled the wager. Your Majesty", said guang unwillingly
"What was the wager", asked the king
"Marry the crown prince, your majesty", said guang
Hearing this the crown prince's eyes lit up.
Every one knows what will happen now. Either she have to marry the crown prince or she will be confined behind bar, if not death,
But,
what actually happened left everyone confused.
"The fire god is percieved to be a fierce personality by everyone due to the nature of fire element but infact the fire god according to my ancestor is a kind, humble, forgiving and peace loving god.
Today, On the occasion of this great day which we celebrate for our fire clans establishment and for our submission to the teachings of fire god. We will forgive the Blasphemers", the king said
'Woah.... ' the king's words created an uproar amongst the people. The crown prince almost shouted "what, what the hell" and staggered hearing this,
"But,
To ensure such blasphemies to not be repeated in future. An example will be made. To be exempted from the punishment the blaspehemers has to accept some conditions
The first one,
The gudong family will now provide 2 times the tax and they can not do business with other kingdoms directly, they have to do it through the Royal commerce( The part of royal family reaponsible for all the commercial activities).
Do You Agree, Mr. Guang", said the king
"I Agree, Your Majesty The King", Said Mr. Guang
"Alright, with this the Guang family is exempted from any punishment they deserved" Said the king
"Miren de shui, You have blasphemed the Fire God, which is the greatest sin of fire kingdom. So, you have to, atone it, by devoting yourself to the fire god for the rest of your life but it will not be good for the reputation of Royal Family, if we keep you in royal palace without marriage. so you have to marry in the royal family said the King to 'Miren de shui'.
Hearing this, the crown prince finally got his lost life and stand tall and straight, but the king's next words again shaked him.
"But ,
Whom you marry will be decided by yourself", said the king
