"Even with such a weak core, I hope your body will be of value. Maybe I can trade the core and body to Lusa for something more useful." The elven prince joked but whispered this to himself.
Alex hoped that a trade would happen. He does not want to stay with the second prince. Especially since the second prince killed his summon and he really wants to kill him.
"How about this Ms.Lusa. I will give you the core and body IF you give me that girl and some C-rank beast cores, specifically water beast cores." The second prince pointed his finger at a girl standing behind Lusa.
Seeing that the second prince was pointing his finger at his younger sister, Alred immediately pulled his sister behind him and yelled "NO WAY! I WON'T EVER GIVE MY SISTER TO YOU. YOU BASTARD!"
The second prince just arrogantly smiled and said "Who said I was talking to you, peasant? You should be glad that I took a liking to your sister. She will be a nice concubine. And don't you know that cursing at a royal is punishable by death"
Alred shut his mouth, and gritted his teeth, his entire face turned red in anger, and squeezed his fist so hard that blood started to seep out. Ms.Lusa quickly injected "We will not give you Artin, Your Highness. But please forgive Alred, he's young and quickly acts with his emotion your highness. Please forgive him"
Lusa kneels, hoping that the second prince will forgive him as she has been taking care of both Alred and Artin ever since she found them during a slave trade raid. She thinks of them as her own grandchildren, since her other children still haven't given her anything yet.
Even though she could kill the bastard in the snap of a finger, the damn king would just use this as an excuse to wage war against Sapore Academy. A war is the last thing she wants to deal with, and given the letter that she had read before going to save her 2 grandchildren, the humans were getting ready for war.
The second prince stayed silent... "Give me Artin and I'll forgive you both. I won't tell my father about this interaction. If not... I will tell my father all about this and he will bring an army to execute that boy in front of Sapore Academy. After all, we must show that we are not to be messed with." The second prince just smiled, before continuing.
"Now, we don't want a war to happen over a simple peasant girl. My father would love any reason to start a war against Sapore Academy." The second prince sneered at them, thinking that he had already won. He was already praising himself that he had gotten some kind of metal beast and he got to have another woman in his harem, for the cost of nothing.
"I challenge you to a duel. Under the eyes of everyone at Sapore Academy. I will take a pledge under the name of Meir, god of oaths and truths to honor the duel." Alred suddenly yells out. This takes everyone by surprise, especially the second prince and Lusa because one, Alred, suddenly requested a duel, and two, if someone takes an oath to Meir. They need to follow the oath unless they want to be struck down by lightning and have their soul imprisoned and tortured for a thousand years if they break their oath.
The second prince stayed quiet after hearing that, thinking about what his next move should be, trying to think of a way to get a bigger prize than a weak metal beast corpse and a girl. "What would you get if you somehow win?" The second prince said with curiosity.
Alred was about to state what he would get IF he won the duel but was interrupted by Lusa. "Stop this now Alred. I do not want more trouble to happen, we are on the brink of war with the royals and this duel can escalate the problem even more. Just trust me, Alred."
Lusa took a deep breath to calm herself as she really wanted to strangle the second prince. "Your Highness, I will give you 3 A-rank Water Beast Cores. This is my final offer, Your Highness." She hopes that the second prince will accept her offer as she really does not want to give up more valuable beast cores.
As she was giving out her offer, she saw a thin blue tendril come out of the prince's right hand. She then saw the tendril move towards the metal beast's body. All of a sudden, the metal beast's body disappeared. Everyone except the second prince saw this, but they stayed silent as they had never seen something like that happen before.
But Lusa quickly racks her head and realizes that she has read about special intelligent beasts still able to keep their consciousness active and still being able to use their magic. Lusa internally smiled and decided to do something risky. She used [Telepathy] on the beast's core and prayed that it would work.
As Alex put the Tall-Neck's body into his inventory, not caring if he had an audience, and god DAMN he wasn't going to let something take his Tall-Neck. He hears a voice in his head.
[Metal beast please give me a sign if you understand me. I'm the one that brought you here]. Alex froze as he did not know where the voice came from but calmed down when the voice identified itself, so he nodded his [Mana Tendril].
Soon enough, he hears Lusa's voice in his head again. [I'm entrusting Artin to you. I know that you hold more power as I think you are some type of spatial beast. So please watch over Artin. I have a plan to get Artin back safely without causing more trouble with the royals. Don't worry I will compensate you once I get her back.]
Alex just nodded again.
(
<DING> Quest Found:
Description: Take care and protect Artin from any trouble until Ms.Lusa retrieves her.
System Rewards: +1 level - +2 Random Common Token
Issuer Quest Reward: ??? - Trust of Ms.Lusa - Trust of Alred
)
Alex looked at the Quest and prayed that he could complete it.
While this secret conversion was happening. The second prince was trying to play his cards right to reap a grander reward. He decided not to accept the offer as he knew his father would give him a greater reward if he knew about this interaction and he knew the old hag would give him better materials.
"I decline your offer, now stop wasting my time and give me Artin or I will tell my father about this incident, you don't want to start a war over a peasant girl right?" The second prince was getting ready to hear Lusa offer again but Lusa's next words caught him off guard.
"Fine your highness. You win, Just please don't hurt her." Lusa's voice started to quiver, even small tears started to form. But this is not an act, it's truly how she feels as she has to trust a beast core with the safety of her 'grandchild'.
Alred of course did not accept this at all and was about to distract the second prince and Lusa so his sister could escape but he was quickly bound by the wind. He struggles as much as he can to escape but nothing works. Lusa decided to cast a sleep spell on Alred so he wouldn't hurt himself.
The other person that knew of her plan was Artin. Lusa told Artin everything about the plan and that she should trust the beast core. Of course, she told Artin the plan using [Telepathy]. Lusa also knows she needs to explain everything to Alred so he won't screw up the plan.
The other children behind Lusa just stayed silent as they knew they should not mess with the royals or Ms. Lusa.
Lusa smiled and hugged Artin and gently pushed her towards the second prince. Both Lusa and Artin had tears forming but they both stayed strong and did not cry. The second prince was smiling, happy knowing that he was breaking up this family, and he was going to enjoy breaking Artin.
As Ms.Lusa was watching Artin walk toward the second prince, she turned around to face the other children and disappeared, along with the other children. The second prince just grinned even more, knowing he won, hell he even felt an erection coming and now, he had something to release in.
He walked closer to Artin and snaked his arms around her waist, feeling her body. He noted that her body was really smooth, tender, and smelled good. Even if she's dirty.
Artin just froze, like a deer in headlights, she did not know what to do. The second prince smiled even more, he really wanted to eat her up. He roughly pulled her waist into the forest and used his mana to check his surroundings.
But due to the horniness and excitement from getting a reward from his father, he somehow misses the fact that the massive metal beast he killed was gone. He was too focused on how he was going to break this girl.
So with a raging hard one, he commanded Artin to take off her clothes. As she was well-developed in all the right places.
Artin said "No" but the second prince just smiled and smacked her hard on the face. Artin fell on the ground due to the force. The second prince just sighed and whispered [Wood Bind]. Once he said that wood tendrils came out of his left hand and wrapped around Artin. Artin couldn't do anything but thrash as her mouth, legs, and arms were bonded together, tears quickly formed around her eyes as the second prince started to undress.
The second prince forgot that he had a beast core in his right hand so he just tossed it aside and continued to undress himself. But that was his mistake, as he was about to take off his underwear, some kind of spiky club hit him directly on his back, piercing his body and sending his body flying into a tree.
He never felt so much pain in his life before, his back, ribs, and spine were broken, and he couldn't even move his arms. So much pain flared in his mind, he couldn't breathe properly as a rib punctured his lungs and he was losing so much blood. He tried to cast healing magic but it was too late, time seemed to slow down as he saw an orange club slowly move to his head.
