On his way to the school Felix remembered the words that his mother spoke to him the night before leaving the palace "Son, you are going in a foreign territory, be careful and make sure as soon as you get there you must head for the Limian palace, we may not be on good terms but your father asked the Limian king to allow you to study in their school and for that you need the badge of approval from the king himself." he was in those thoughts and went straight towards the palace.
(Arriving at the Limian Palace)
Upon arriving at the palace the prince got out of his carriage, and coincidentally at the same time the carriage of the Kianey empire came with a good amount of soldiers and in the center was Aaron the prince and the heir of the Kainey empire, The king, queen and their son came out themselves to greet him and then one of the guards told the king about my presence and his expression changed immediately but he didn't said anything and asked me to come inside as well. So bittersweet welcome sort of thing was going on, but anyhow I went inside the palace and at that moment all I could think about was that I need to get out of this awkward situation as soon as possible, when we entered the palace, I wanted to ask the king about the approval but he silenced me and asked me to stay put, it was kind of pissing me off, but I condemn myself as I was a foreign territory and then I heard her voice for the first time, "You want approval for the school right ?" I turned around saw Claire for the first time she was covered in some sort of light aura around and she said "You are a black magic user around" it actually caught me off guard because I didn't thought the king would tell his children about me so I asked "Was it the king who mentioned me ?" she came a bit closer and said "No, I can see you are covered in some sort of black aura" this even astonished the king because even he wasn't able to see it and then he realized that he didn't even introduce the prince to him and said "Hmm, Claire the prince Kianey is here" she greeted the prince said "It's an honor to meet you prince Aaron of Kianey" the prince said "It's just as the rumor says, you are beautiful" she humbly bowed her head to that but then turned towards me and said "You know from childhood I was able to see auras from all sorts of people, but I have never seen some with this much amount of darkness in it, may I ask your name ?" the king tried to interfere but was stopped by the princess and she asked me to continue so I said " I am the third prince of the Nomian empire Felix" she smiled and said "Nomian, the kingdom of Chaos and Mayhem, huh" with a smirk I said "That's right princess Claire of the Limian kingdom or should I say the kingdom of god's itself" we both giggled a little but then the queen forcefully intervened and said "Claire stay away from him, you know what he is, a Nomian our kingdoms have never liked each other from the start, so it's better to stay from him" the princess said "I don't think it is possible mother, since he and I are going to attend the same school" it wasn't a shock because although the Limian school is a detention school for the Nomian but it is still the best school in the Limian kingdom for mages and swordsmen. The queen asked the king to just give him the seal of approval, so with haste king asked the guard to bring the seal, meanwhile the prince Kainey approached the princess and said "Princess since this bothersome issue has being handled shall we take a stroll outside" this actually irritated her a bit and said "I am sorry but I am busy" then the prince of the Limian empire came and said "Listen to me sister the prince has made all his way from Kianey to Limian just to meet you, please don't insult him like this'' that put her in an unwanted position but then she suggested something "Since it's just a stroll you don't mind him tagging along right ?" she pointed her finger at me. The king said "What are you doing Claire? The prince wants to spend some time with you alone so he gets to know you. Why bring a Nomian with you ?" she with confidence said "Father, I was busy but since you asked I am going out but that will be done on my condition and my condition is that he comes with me" I didn't want any part of it I was just waiting for the seal to arrive and for some reason it was taking a lot of time, so I said "Princess, this is your personal matter don't bring outsiders to your mess" she smiled and said "Interesting, you didn't paid any respect to me the princess of Limian kingdom and the way you were saying those things were almost as if you were ordering me" I went towards her and said "Princess all I want is the seal so that I can get the hell out of this place" she released a little bit of her aura which silenced me for a moment and said "You will talk to me with respect" as if it would work on me so I repaid her light aura with my dark aura but with a little higher energy which made her stumble and the guards pointed their swords on me then I said "You don't get my respect easily, for that you have to prove your worth to me" she composed herself and said "I am sorry for my misconduct but you went overboard and for that you should take responsibility" but she wasn't wrong in that I did went a little overboard and so I started analyzing the situation more practically and thought that the sooner I get this over with the faster can I get out of here so I said "Fine I will come since the seal is taking long anyway but after that I am out of here" she agreed to it but then the king said "I cannot allow that it's just .." but then he saw the angry look on her daughter's face and allowed under one condition that her brother must also be there she agreed to it, So all four of us left for the garden.
(At the garden)
We all were walking, with this awkward beat of silence, the idiot of Limian made sure that I kept a safe distance from her sister, the prince of Kianey was trying to impress her but it was all a miss. Then the princess said "Prince Aaron, I think this should be enough. We have done enough strolling and I don't think there's anything else that you need to say so let's bid farewell here" the prince was starting to get irritated and said "Princess Claire it's very rude of you to act like this, not only you didn't say a word during our whole stroll but now you are asking me to leave, just like this" then the Limian prince said "Prince Aaron, please forgive my sister's rudeness.She is very ill-mannered and we will rectify it so please …" Aaron sighed and said "Prince Simon, is this the way that Limian has become not only there are no manners but a Nomian is here of all people, it's very low considering you are a Noble family" that pissed me off so with anger I said "Hey brat, I don't care what you and that princess of yours do or say but if you try to undermine the Nomian one more time then things are going to get ugly" Prince Simon was angry at this and said "Listen to me you black magician you should be glad that you are even walking in the Limian land with your own two feet, because if it were up to me .." then suddenly he started getting choked out of nowhere he wasn't able to breath, Prince Aaron was scared and confused but then the princess said "Stop it" I looked at her and said "He is the one that started it" then she created a fireball and said "If you don't stop I will have no choice but to use force" I said "Give your best shot" then she threw that ball at me so I had to block it with my barrier then I attacked her with dark lightning she said "I didn't know that black magicians can corrupt even lightning" with continuous movement and retaliating each other's attack I said "You don't' know the first thing about me or the black magic that I use" the fight was going on but for some reason neither of us felt tired instead we were happy, excited and were just waiting for what will be the next attack then the guards call out the king and once he arrived he yelled and we were stopped. He said "Prince Felix not only you ruined such a precious moment of our daughter and prince Aaron, you also used this impure black magic and tried to corrupt her, I will not let it slide" and just by the looks of all the people around me they were happy and just when the king's guard were about to arrest me, they were stopped by the princess, so the king asked her about this and she said "Father it was me, brother Simon and prince Aaron who provoked him so he has no choice but to defend his honor as a Nomian and be honest with me father if someone ridiculed you and our Limian family you would have acted this way to right?" the king couldn't deny the fact, he sighed and threw the paper with the seal of approval to join the Limian school and said " Just get out of our palace" I picked it up and was just about to exit the main gate of the palace but was stopped by the princess and she said "I am sorry Prince Felix we shouldn't have behaved the way that we did'' I turned and said "Princess Claire what you did wasn't something that you should do, I mean standing up for a Nomian but thanks for that. I will see you at school Princess Claire" but before I could leave she said "Claire, if it's not too much to ask I would like you to call me just Claire not princess or something." I smiled and said "See you at school, Claire" and with that I left the Limian palace.
