In the centre of the arena, Mu Xue's body was surrounded by a wonderful scene of dancing ice and snow that swirled around her body like an enchanting blizzard that followed her every whim as she looked to the sky with a faint smile.
'Master, I will do my best so you will praise me.'
Mu Xue took pride in being Asura's maid and guardian knight even if she was now his lover, and he wanted her to be his wife. That wouldn't change how she acted; she had developed an attachment to calling him Master.
"Once again, the lovely knight from the Fenix territory has devastated her opponent!"
Lucretia's bright voice sounded as the girl on the ground slowly sat up with the help of the medical mages and potion knights helping her.
'I didn't kill because Asura doesn't want to kill those who do not deserve it...'
"Who can stop this girl from rising to the top!?" The husky voice of Lucretia sounded as Mu Xue left the arena.
Unaware that a group of people were following her. A tall and handsome blonde male with blue eyes and three men who were all Stage Two knights charged with his protection during normal times as he followed after her with a smirk on his lips.
'I wonder if Master would like me to use my hand... Should I use a plantain to practise? I want to make his face look surprised and praise me. Hehe.'
While she was pondering with a brilliant smile, now prancing and hopping around while lightly swaying, she couldn't help but imagine the face of Asura trying his best to hold on and act tough.
"Excuse me, Miss Mu Xue."
A soft-spoken male's voice sounded, breaking her little daydream.
'Who?'
Mu Xue turned around and saw a male that she knew well. It was the prince of this country who had a horrible series of rumours about his treatment of female knights that he took a fancy to.
He promises them high positions or a role beside him, and then after they give themselves to him, they are thrown away to his guards.
Because her master was weak and lacked magic in the past, Mu Xue performed detailed research on hundreds of nobles and the royalty that might be at the academy to protect him from harm.
Even now that he was stronger, she continued to gather information so that she might be able to assist him in other ways.
"Who is it?" She knew but still asked as her eyes narrowed, and she felt her fiery heart of delight cooling down instantly.
Your frivolous smile is disgusting, you pig.
"You rude knight, can you not see who it is!?"
"Our illustrious prince and the future king of this kingdom! Why do you not bow!"
The two idiots called out, performing their roles to make the prince seem like a quiet and handsome guy as his hands pushed down as if to calm them, shaking his head before continuing.
"Calm down, Dalton, Barret."
"Lady Xue has just performed an excellent battle; maybe she is a little tired. Do not make her feel uncomfortable."
"Can you forgive them? Lady Xue?"
'This damn fake, why are you breathing on me with your filthy breath.'
'It stinks.'
Mu Xue was a gentle and bright girl to those she accepted and loved, and she refused to cause any trouble for her master and just stared at the group of males with an emotionless face, giving the smallest smile possible.
"I do not mind."
"However, please call me by my family name. I don't want my master to misunderstand."
"..."
The prince seemed taken aback because of her cold and distant response. He was likely used to the knights of other noble families fawning over his position or handsome face and talent.
Sadly, he was inferior to Asura in everything but position.
"Can we not get to know each other better from now on?" The prince asked, his body moving closer as Mu Xue's eyes sharpened and became hostile.
The clueless prince and his goons didn't seem to catch the hint when sharp ice began swirling around her body subconsciously.
'Who would get to know you, damn snake?'
'I can smell your disgusting body odour from here.'
"Not interested."
Mu Xue turned around, her blue eyes glistening as she saw the prince's face distorting in anger as he leaned forward to grab her body.
Her eyes snapped open as she twisted her hips and slapped his face with measured force, only sending his body flying back into the three goons he brought with him.
"I have no interest in knowing you. My master is Asura Fenix, and I only need his touch."
"Please be mindful and keep your filthy hands to yourself!"
Her eyes were sharp, which maybe even Asura had never seen before. A fierce and angry face scrunched up, causing two of the guards to shudder in fear while the prince himself began to urinate.
The aura and look in her eyes were like a giant serpent staring down at them, ready to devour them whole without a second thought.
Watching them tremble and seeing the prince soil himself, she snorted before turning around and leaving with light steps towards her shared room with Asura, a quiet but pleasant humming from her lips as she began to skip.
---
"Damn it! Get off me, you fools!"
Prince Valos was furious, his face like someone forced him to eat a bucket of dirt and sour fruits before hitting him in the crotch with their knee.
Filled with embarrassment, he pulled himself up, feeling the disgusting warmth and clammy feeling of his pants.
Once again, he looked towards the disappearing figure of Mu Xue.
"You filthy Eastern Bitch! I will crush your fucking master and push you down before his very eyes!"
"I will violate you until you beg me to become your master! Then throw you to a criminal den to be gangbanged to death."
The three knights beside him were silent but felt the comments were slightly extreme.
However, he had done similar things to women who called him pathetic or small, and their ends were horrific, with even their families being massacred.
"Oh?"
A sudden husky and domineering voice sounded from behind the four of them, a woman who caused the prince to shudder and instantly turn back with a terrified face.
The only woman apart from his mother, that the king was powerless to help him against.
"L-Lady Lorem..."
"Little boy with a tiny cock, did you just threaten to rape my cute disciple? Shall I sheer your hair and tear off your flesh?"
Her foot slammed into the prince's chest, sending him sliding across the floor, leaving a wet trail from under his buttocks.
"Wow... she looked at you, and you pissed yourself; what a regal and worthy ruler you will become! Hail the prince of urination!"
Lorem joked and made a big scene as the three knights could only tremble and move back, allowing her to step forward and stomp on the prince's chest.
"Little Velos, if you so much as sniff Mu Xue's scent. I will castrate you. There is another who can succeed to the throne and is far more capable than you."
"Know your place, dog."
Velos couldn't even reply; if Mu Xue's gaze was a fearsome serpent that would devour him, then Lorem's simple glance was enough to eradicate him.
"Do you understand, Prince Velos?"
"....Tsk..... Yes... I understand!"
You damn whores, speaking down to me! How dare you speak to your future king and master! I will crush you both... Damn it!
Why does everybody look down on me?
Only that woman...
The duchess of Drakur!
She is my only ally!
