5 : 30 am next morning
"EVERYONE GET UP!IT'S AN EMERGENCY! " Sage shouted
Jasmine jumped out of bed to see Sage getting ready in a hurry. "What is it?" She asked sleepily. "I was talking to Crimson. CRIMSON! The general is on his way as we speak to assess all the new students, we have to make an impression." Sage said almost smiling .
Crimson groaned and told Sage to do as she pleases but she wasn't going to wake up. With that, Crimson went back to sleep. Jasmine looked at Crimson then Sage and said,"I'll come with you.." . Sage out of rage replied rudely "No need,princess. You need your beauty sleep."
After saying that she left.
Jasmine decided to sleep for thirty more minutes then wake up to prepare for the day.
She shut her eye and in a spit second, she opened them again to feel the warmth of the sun hit her face. She was in a panic, the sun always rose at seven in the morning and they were needed at the assembly at six and at the court yard before eight.
She ran around the room and got ready to leave when she noticed that Trix was gone. She figured Trix went to Dane and left in a rush.
Everyone was already in the court room . She silently entered and took a seat next to Jessica. Two people were in the ring fighting. One had blue hair and the other had black hair with white ends,both female. The one with blue hair broke the other girl's leg and had her in a triangle choke. The other girl finally tapped out and the commentator chose someone from the first year students to fight the girl with blue hair, Arana. "You,the one in black. Long hair with braids" He said pointing at Jasmine. "Me...?" Jasmine asked nervously. The commentator nodded. Jasmine slowly stood up amd made her way to the ring.
On her way, Dane stopped her and whispered something in her ear,"Try not to die,at least for the reputation of your family..." Jasmine went pale on hearing his words. "She can kill me?" She asked her voice shaking. "Yes." Dane said and ordered her not to keep everyone waiting.
Arana was jealous on seeing their encounter. She was the General's second child,and she had always liked Dane but he never paid any attention to her.
Once Jasmine stepped into the ring,the battle began. Neither of them made the first move,they just stared into eachother's eyes. Finally, Arana attacked. Jasmine quickly dodged but Arana managed to scrape her arm just a bit. Arana kept kicking and punching while Jasmine dodged all of her attacks. Then Arana did the unthinkable , she pulled Jasmine into a hug and whispered in her ear, " You're dead princess Zayren."
With that,Arana stabbed Jasmine . It wasn't a vital area but it hurt. Arana laughed at how pathetic Jasmine was "Look at you! Weak. You belong in the palace, be a house wife,a concubine it will suit you. Like mother like daughter!"
The moment those words came out of Arana's mouth Jasmine lost it.
******
Jasmine looks up at Arana and asks her "What did you say about my mother? I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD" The pain and anger is evident in her eyes. She lunges forward at Arana but falls on her,faking a faint. Arana tries to push her off but Jasmine grabs her dagger and tried to stab Arana but Jude stops her.
Jasmine turns to Jude angrily before letting out a loud yelp. Arana had stabbed her again. Her blood boiled and she turned to face Arana again. But before she could do anything she fainted due to excessive blood loss.
Jude tried to wake his sister up,but to no avail. He had no choice but to rush her to the sorcerers who's magic could heal any wound.
Dane watched from a far and clenched his teeth before letting out a sigh.
*****
meanwhile.
Jasmine was being treated by a sorcerer. The pain was too unbearable. After treatment she was told to rest for at least 3 days but Instead, Jasmine jumped out of the bed she was placed on and went to the court yard where Arana was still fight some new fish. She entered the ring once again.
This time she only had fifty percent of her strength. She threw a punch but Arana dodged and continued making malicious comments at her.
Jasmine was too fed up. She decided to use the technique she used to see Abigail, do to weaken the opponent. Although she hadn't mastered it yet she was going to give it a shot.
Jasmine pounced on Arana and punched her across the face . Then she grabbed Arana's leg and pulled it up all the way to her chest. She pushed down on it while Arana was trying to push her off. Then a crack was heard,then another. Jasmine had cracked Arana's back bone and Arana broke Jasmine's index finger.
The General stepped in and shouted "That is against the rules,you Miss Zayren will be suspended for 1 month."
Jasmine looked scared.
"Sorry to interrupt Great General but,why didn't you stop your child when she went against rule 56 in the rulebook, defamation is a serious crime, and considering it was towards the Princess and her mother.... You didn't stop when Miss Zayren over here was stabbed twice by your daughter. As a general you disobeyed the lawyer not intervening earlier, which might you might receive a death sentence as punishment." Dane said,his voice audible and clear,his gaze intense.
The General stayed silent and didn't respond. He walked out of the court yard and His men followed with others carrying Arana behind . Jessica ran to her sister's aid and hugged her tight. Jude joined them soon and took Jasmine back for healing.
"And Miss Zayren,you have received suspension for 2 days for hitting a vital part." Dane added. Jasmine nodded and was escorted out by Jude and Jessica.
Once out,Jasmine began to cry "I can't take it anymore ,two days is enough, I want to give up .Too much." Jasmine said, her voice cracking.
Jessica hugged her and kissed her on the forehead.
