Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Is she okay?" Alix asked as they followed her.

\'Yeah she is fine, she just have some personal problems to deal with but unfortunately she doesn\'t have the time to deal with them anymore," Eliza responded and Alix smiled.

"I think I understand," he said and the girl smiled.

Upon arriving at the top of the hills, the princess looked at them as her eyes started glowing and a green marking appeared under all of their feets as they disappeared and prepared out in the middle of nowhere, snow was falling and the wind was strong.

Alix looked at the mountains around them then back at the princess.

\'May i ask where we are?" Alix asked.

"No you may not," she responded and Eliza laughed.

"This is the snow mountains, here are where the snow dragons are, this is just outside of the capital city, at the bottom of the mountains there is a village too," Eliza responded.

"Thanks, you were kind enough to answer unlike a grumpy princess," he responded as she bent down, made a snowball and threw it on Alix covering his clothes and face in the snow.

"It\'s cold... are you crazy?" he asked.

"We brought nothing to even change in, we will freeze to death out here," Aerav complained.

"Do you want to complain and get stronger or lose your fight because the next one is you Aerav?" she asked and he downed his head then smiled.

"Sorry your highness, it\'s just a little cold out here and I do want to win," he responded as she narrowed her eyes.

"Are you scared Aerav?" he asked as Elijah appeared before them and passed all of them a small bag.

"There are jackets and scarfs inside along with snacks and drinks, also princess you need to be back by lunch your father said he has something for you to attend," Elijah said.

"If it\'s another meeting you can attend it in my space I will not go to another, I am sure the king can handle matters himself, I want nothing to do with it," she replied and Elijah smiled nervously.

\'Your highness, do you want the king to kill me?" Elijah asked.

"Why would he do that?" Alix asked.

"Clearly he would try since he sent me with this task saying that there is no other choice and she has to do it," he responded as they all looked at the princess.

"You can\'t let him get killed by your father now can you?" Eliza asked and she sighed.

"Clearly Elijah is just scared, he won\'t actually kill you, you are running scared, attend the meeting on my behalf, I won\'t go, I am tired and I want out of this diplomatic, bullshit," she responded and he frowned.

"You are the crown princess, isn\'t that your job?" Alix asked and Eliza smiled nervously as the girl glared at him.

"Hmm, you are right, it is my job but I refuse to do it, do you have a problem with that? no do you want to do it for me?" she asked as he glared right back at her for he was getting really annoyed by the girl\'s actions.

"Come at me, all of you," she said as Sarah took out her sword.

"Are you sure about this?" Ayden asked as Aerav\'s arms trembled as little sparks of fire appeared on the tip of his fingers.

"Aerav I am going to ask you this once, are you one that was born with magic or got it while growing up?" she asked.

"Stop pushing him around," Alix said.

"Hush Alix, let me speak," she replied and he sighed.

"You know of me don\'t you?" Aerav asked as the princess turned away and he placed his hand on her shoulder.

"You knew that I am not born with magic, I got it and I am not as strong my only power is fire yet you trust... no you had faith in me and brought me into this group when I was a nobody," he said as his eyes trembled and he fell on his knees to the ground.

"She accepted you because of your sister," Elijah said and Aerav smiled as he placed his head against the snow bowing.

"Don\'t bow, you guys have one task and one alone that is to protect and get stronger, get up and stop being a weak idiot," she said and he stood up immediately.

"Come at me, now, all of you," she said as Sarah rushed towards her, she dodged the girl but grabbed onto her sword and was about to kick her then remembered she had just come out of the hospital so she just shoved her to the ground and as Ayden came at her with lighting forming in the palms of his hand and kicked him into the mountain, which caused an explosion and the others laughed as he stood up looking like a roast foul.

"Our turn," Alix said as Aeravs arm caught on fire and a smirk appeared on Alix\'s face as both of them rushed to her and she winked at Alix as she helped onto Aerav\'s flaming arm, they gasped as a black flame appeared on his arm and she lifted him up in the air then hit him directly into the stomach sending him flying across the ground.

"What kind of magic do you use?" Alix asked with a smile and she scpffed as Aerav got up coughing.

"Now it\'s just you and me," she said as he moved so fast that her eyes couldn\'t catch up with him.

"He has gotten faster," she thought as her eyes glowed red and a gush of wind brushed across her face.

"Got ya," she said as she jumped up in the air and spotted him.

"Not so easy," he shouted as he pulled back dodging her.

"Now this has just gotten interesting," Aerav said as he sat down with the other while the princess stood there trying to spot Alix.
