章節 10: Conclusion and new education!
Some people had laughed at the little prince, as he was letting go of his weapons. Sarda was a known prodigy in sword combat. But then they could feel the little princes heavy aura pressing down on them, as he lifted the swords seemingly by a pure act of will.
*zzZZZzzZZZzzZZZzzz*
The whole hall falls completely silent, as the little prince of Tirna shows his unexpected magic potential. The hall was silent to begin with, because of the rude challenge, but now the silence is complete, except for the humming of the two swords.
"Go!", Nicosar jumps to the side.
Many people already expected a simple execution to unfold before their eyes. But then Sarda manages to dodge the first attack and the hope of an even battle befalls the observers of the fight.
Only to have that hope crushed soon afterwards.
*Dingg*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
As the little prince walks up to his opponent.... or was it a victim? Everyone can feel the lust for blood and satisfaction the prince emanates.
Too shocked to even move a muscle, everyone is pinned to their place as the torture unfolds. Or was it a cruel public execution after all?
Only a little red haired girl is unfazed by the cruel aura that pins everyone else to their place. While others can't even twitch, she walks up to the magical monster like knowing that it would never hurt her.
And pats its back!
"Dear, don't grin like that, you are scaring the people!"
"Oh, Sorry Honey I was a little caught up in my emotions, after he made an advance on you! HAHAHA!"
Sardas life was saved by the very one he mistreated! On that day a rumor was born.
Of the gentle flower which is the princess of Stricc, who was the only one that could tame the magical beast!
And the common folk would evermore fear the day, when the princess was no more, to stop the prince of Tirna.
-------------------------------------------------
As we walk away from the bloody pile of flesh, some healers shove their way through the crowd to save what can be saved.
Somehow Nicosar doesn't look like he feels the need to announce a winner and starts chatting with the two bunnygirls instead.
Rose runs up and instructs some other servants to clean up the mess.
When we reach our parents, they are a little more relaxed. The people with them are still stunned.
"I am sorry, I had a little argument with a rude guy. When he refused to leave and challenged me, I decided that he would be a good example for others. Just in case of future disobedience.", I state.
"Angrod saved my honour! If it wasn't for him, I would feel like I had been defiled by that bastard.", Celes hugs me.
We where loud enough, for everyone to hear.
Slowly the hall starts to move again, as the people disperse and the music plays again.
"I... I am sorry for the behaviour of my son, he should know better than to cause an incident like this. Instead of giving the celebrated person some space, when asked for. If I and my wife may excuse ourselves? We will talk about this at a more opportune moment.", a guy besides Arthur says.
"You may go, we will talk later.", Arthur states while obviously trying hard not to grin.
The guy and his wife walk off, into the direction of the dead....half dead idiot.
Suddenly Ireth picks me up and hugs me, "I was so scared to loose you!"
Nicol starts patting my head, "Good work! Those fellows had the best face I have ever seen. It was a good decision to leave you to Nicosar."
NOOOOO!
Mothers grip becomes stronger and I have problems to breathe, "Fufufufu! Yes, that reminds me. Weren't you ordered to refuse a duel? That's disobedience! Yes! I will make sure, you never give me such a fright again!"
NOOOOO!
I try to look for help, anyone! When my eyes fall on Celes. She has a very satisfied grin and her tail waves pleased left and right. Witch! I helped you! You got me into this in the first place, by setting me up against those two!
"Guys, I will go back to my friends I found some earlier!", Celes informs us and walks off.
"How about you let go of Angrod, so he can enjoy the rest of the party?", Katrin asks Ireth. After another minute Ireth lets go of me and I excuse myself to the toilets. I still have to wash the blood from my hands.
Hmm, strange. Is it my imagination, or are the people giving me more space, as I walk by? At first they gave me and Celes alone only about two meters, but now they seem to keep at least a distance of five?
After I washed my hands, I searched the hall again for Celes and her *friends*. A few minutes later I found them at a buffet. It was Celes and the kids, I got to know before the stupid twins disturbed us.
"Celes, you ran off without me! I felt left behind!", I grin as I walk up to them.
"Angrod! I thought you might be hungry, so I went to get you the stuff you like most!", she holds out a plate to me and I muster the food warily.
It is stuffed with food I like, which I find very strange? This is the witch we are talking about, so where is the trick to this? But I find no reason to refuse, so I guess I have to take it.
"Thank you Celes, what would I do without you.", I take the plate and start eating. If this is poisoned or oversalted I will make you eat pure pepper!
Then I take the first bite, strangely enough it is not the case..... it tastes good...
"Hahaha, Angrod you sure went nuts on that guy!", Tanja Morden restarts the conversation. The other kids put up a forced smile and look at me like some sort of dangerous animal.
"I just didn't want to give others the impression that a duel with me would be without consequence, by going easy on him.", I explain.
"Angrod, if it weren't for you, I would have had a seriously bad time.", Celes states.
You were about to stab him with your hairpin! If you think about it I even saved the bastard, but nobody sees it that way.
I sigh, and listen to the conversation between Celes and the Kids. It seems, that the Cygnus siblings are some serious geniuses. Their family owns the most famed schools, universities and research institutes. Of course they were deeply involved in Midholds educational system.
Tanja Mordens family governs the land on Striccs side of Midhold. During the war, they were infamous for having the best assassins and intelligence networks.
Sven Hjavars is a childhood friend of Tanjas, his family has an amazing history of high ranking military accomplishments. But when I look at the shy little boy, I don't really believe it.
As we talk the party comes to an end and we have to say our goodbyes. Somehow I feel like I was a little avoided in the end?
We are back at our private rooms and I feel like I have forgotten something important. The whole family is gathered, yes strangely enough I came to regard Arthur and Katrin as family members too.
"I have decided! You two are ready for school!", Nicol lets the bomb explode! "You have done very well at the party. I must admit, I had a sleepless night in fear that someone finds out about you two being like fire and water. It would have crushed all the efforts we had made for peace in the last years. But after today nobody will ever believe that you two can be separated."
Oh Hell... I want to lie down and die.
"So next month, you will join the Midpoint School. Everything is already arranged by me. It's a highly regarded school, which takes its student through all educational levels, including university. I hope you two wont let me down!" -Nicol
Pfff! What are you thinking of us? I am over a thousand years old! I don't know how old I am because I stopped counting at 1203! Give us the stupid final test for the university and I will start teaching the idiots who call themselves teachers.
But I am silent. Maybe going to school again is nice. Its like having a long vacation. Yes, a vacation, that sounds good. I am in my own world, while sitting on the sofa.
After everyone has left Celes suddenly stands before me.
"Angrod, I have to tell you something." -Celes
"What?" -Me
"Thanks, even though I could have managed alone!" -Celes
"Hah?" -Me
"Stupid hermit!", she bows down and kisses me on the forehead and leaves the room. I am stunned.
What was that? Could...
NOOOO! Stop iiiiTTT! She is trying to mess with my fucking MINNNDDD!!!!
I drop to the floor and hit my head against it, trying to smash the forming thought out of it!
