"You don't be arrogant just because you suddenly got wealthy family know your place you trash."
As I was about to say something. The other person interfered between us.
"You don't need to teach her. It's useless to teach her anything when all she will do is fail. moreover it's doubtful about teaching coming from you. There is no way an idiot can teach other idiot"
Lucas, Says while coming closer to the crown prince.
The crown prince feels pissed and take out his temper on Lucas,"What did you say to me? I am crown prince. how dare you to say this to me?"
Lucas takes one more step closer to Max and grabs him from his collar by one hand with an scary look on his face,"Don't forget I am royalty too."
Lucas turned his head towards me and gave a look of freaking out, " What are you doing there? Are you for real?"
I was confused as to be why he is looking at me like this and asking such an obvious thing?
I roses up from my place where I was sitting and came closer to him while reaching out my hand towards Lucas, " I'm enjoying strawberries, Do you want some too? They are tasty believe me."
Lucas gets pissed at the act of Fena handing out strawberries to him. As he was about to shout at her. The moment he opens his mouth it suddenly gets blocked.
'Hmm! What? I was about to say something but why is that there is strawberry in my mouth?'
As Lucas looks up, He sees fena hand near his mouth, " See! Isn't it tasty? I told you right! I like your face that's why I'm sharing this strawberry with you." Fena says with a bright smile on her face.
In that moment Fena looked very pretty with that bright smile on her face. Lucas left staring at her for a while and when he comes to his senses. He gets embarrassed while leaving his ears red.
"why are you still standing here shamelessly?"
"I was about to go Your Highness, but you guys have blocked the path to the banquet Hall so please excuse me."
At that moment lucas himself couldn't understand what he was babbling about? Lucas was always bad at hiding his feelings.
"Hmph! You may look beautiful, No! You may look cute and think that you are looking way too cute in this pink dress that matches you so well with your hair but you are totally ugly. Don't get the wrong idea that you will look cool if you do something like this."
I was standing there blankly and watching his back. While he was leaving. I was confused by his behaviour. Whether he was complimenting me or insulting me. but one thing was clear, He wasn't the honest type but one with showing up his feelings on face.
The crown prince standing there dumb founded about what happened? left behind by Fena and Lucas in the garden.
I entered the hall and found the old man. Old man finally decided to leave and the two of us said our farewells to sena and left the royal banquet.
I was too tired to move and my legs were hurting to the point that I might trip at any moment. As soon as I got home. I stride fast towards my bedroom and collapsed on the bed.
By the time when I opened my eyes it was already morning and my dress was already changed by Ann when I was in sleep.
Now it's been weeks to royal banquet but I still remembered how everything was there tasty putting aside some people.
As I was ready for sword traning and went to the training ground there I found the old man standing with the former emperor.
They were busy talking between themselves. I got closer to Dion and asked for the information.
"Hey! Dion what's the former emperor doing here?"
"My lady! That's because the former emperor decided with the grand duke to train all four of us together."
I looked at Dion with a confused expression,"Four of us? No, No, You possibly can't mean that."
"Whatever you thought is true. My lady!"
As I was about to say something to Dion. The old man called us to come closer. We got closer to the old man.
"Remember when I told you. I have a partner for you and for the time being I will let Dion be your partner."
I couldn't remember well more honesty I wasn't interested in, So I said with a boring expression, "Did you said something like that? Maybe you did?"
And at the next moment I was smacked hard on my head by the old man.
" You idiot, Didn't I tell you? How can you forget something so important? Whatever, Dion and Fena I have new partners for you both. Dion will be teaming up with the crown prince max in training session, And you will be with Lucas the next successor of Archduke."
I was amazed at the fact how the old man just decided on his own without asking me and Dion for once. Of course, it is hard to train with someone new. When you are used to the moves of each other.
I started shouting while running around the old man," How can you just add up teams and asks us to agree it?"
Duke's takes out a kind of pouch and hands over to Fena, "Okay! 80 Diamonds on each practicing match."
Dion expected the outcome of this. That's why he wasn't expecting anything this time from Fena, As usual Fena agrees.
I am so used to this that it doesn't surprise me when lady Fena agrees so easily even though she is the one who denies so strongly at first and the duke too learned how to handle lady Fena.
If you ask me why I'm so miserable right now. It's because I'm being teamed up with the crown prince no one else but him. Who is the most arrogant person in the empire.
Lucas and Max enters the training session ground and greets the duke's.
Lucas and I were standing as a team, But Lucas stands far from me that didn't feel right to me as if I am some kind of germ.
I tried to close the distance by coming closer to him, But he stepped aside and did again and again. Whenever I tried to get close to him.
On the other hand Dion and max already started practice. Max was hard on Dion from the very start of the match.
I was wondering if we ever gonna start because I was going to leave. As I was about to leave Lucas called out to me.
"Where are you slacking off to? Get back here and let's start! Remember this I won't go easy on you even if you are a lady."
"Yeah! Yeah! I know you would say this. Since you look so serious about it."
' No, honestly I read a lot of novels, And it's a cliché line where male lead's says.'
As we started our practice I was amazed at the skills of Lucas. He didn't look like a young boy at that moment.
Lucas really did not go easy on me as he said. He totally didn't give me an opening to strike, And I lost to him.
Like this everyday we practiced, And I kept losing to him while on the other hand Dion won few matches and got few ties. Soon the boys and the former emperor started to stay as guest at our place.
I started to feel worse seeing how I kept losing to him and couldn't make progress that's why I started to do extra practice on my own after training hours and break times.
It was evening time that I was still practicing, And the trio came to me. I was wondering what could be the reason since they visited me after so many days.
Rin : "You are like everyone taking precious people from us."
Rio : "You are taking grandpa with you."
Ray : "Why can't you disappear from our lives?" (writes on a board)
Fena looks at them for a while and stares at the board. The expression on her face was an empty look.
'I am used to these kinds of words, And it's a given that the situation I'm in. Only these kinds of words and things are waiting for me. I once again can act like it didn't hurt me at all. Hmm, let's do this.'
I smiled brightly at the kids because isn't it kinda pissing how they just come to me to say only selfish things.
"I don't want your old man moreover why do I give you just because you guys said? You all wanna spanked again. I will spank you hard this time."
After hearing this the trio runs away while leaving the board behind on the ground. Fena picks up the board and as she is about to throw in the trash bin. Lucas grabs her wrist. Fena doesn't notice Lucas, Who was there from the very start.
"You, What are you doing? Throwing in trash can? Why? Shouldn't you be throwing it on their faces?"
When he said such things while holding my wrist. I was surprised at his words. I raised my head and looked at him. He was looking straight in my eyes without flinching even once.
"Why are you not saying anything? I do get you are piece of shit who throws herself anywhere as long as it includes money, Who is selfish to the core of her heart, But I don't believe that you are taking something and I don't think you need to disappear."
'Even though his words are harsh, But it's truth and I know I can't argue with him on this but Hearing him saying that made my heart kinda light and okay.'
Before I could notice anything I looked at Lucas who was looking at me with a surprised look on his face.
As I felt my face wet, Only then I notice why he was looking at me like that.
Lucas who was standing there holding the wrist of Fena keeps looking straightly at fena but fena looks other way," I am not crying. It's just I haven't slept well for many days that's why my eyes are hurting. So please! I ask of Your Highness to, Not to look at me like that."
Lucas let go of Fena's wrist, "I Understood as you wish."
Lucas who seem to be leaving. Suddenly goes and takes sword, Throws at Fena," Let's par I will show you the real skills of water spirit user. So do your best to bring out your fire spirit power."
