" why are looking so gloomy today..?" lucas asked nudging her and athy stared at him dazed..
"huh.. It's nothing.." she said looking down..
Lucas stared at her for a while and hit her arm .. She looked up pissed and hit his shoulder .. Thus started their hitting game..
"here they goes again"
cabel said giggling staring at them bickering and fighting
"hyung and noona are always working and sometimes act like kids" leo said giggling along with him..
" yeah.. He is like this only with princess.. They become so close in a short time.." rei said
"so what..? They look stunning together.. And it's entertaining to see them acting like the dumb and dumber duo.. It's cute " cabel said
" yeah they do look good together right..?". They turned to see felix standing there bowed
"I told you guys to be free.. Why are you Guys always formal..?" felix said and they smiled sheepishly
" sir felix.. What brings you here..?" rei asked
"I just came because lucas asked me to come..now it seems they are busy" felix said staring at lucas and athy now giggling as lucas made her laugh.
" then shall I go call him or do you want to wait..? " cabel asked and he nodded a yes.. They sit on the waiting room chatting
" ohh felix.. When did you come...? Why didn't you called me ..?" he asked cabel and felix gestured it's ok.
" felix..." athy came out and hugged him.. He patted her head and she waved them bye walking out as she is getting late for her philosophy class..
" so what is it lucas ? " felix asked
" felix will you help me with my sword.? "
Lucas asked and he stares at him confused
"aren't you already a sworsmaster..?"
"they do call me that but I still have some doubts..." lucas said and felix giggled
"if there is anything I can do to clear your doubts.. I will gladly help you.." felix said..
"then let's go.. Cabel.. I finished today's work so I am off then"
lucas said as they both disappeared
"so what's your doubt..?" felix asked as he looked aroumd..they are standing in the center of nowhere.
"what's this place..?"
"middle of forest.. My sword.. Is acting weird.."lucas said as it appeared in his hand and he swinged it.. A hill in the distance splitted into two.. Felix gasped surprised
" I have heard about the blackstorm but it's the first time I am seeing it.. It's amazing " he said smiling..
" huh.. Isn't it the same as your crimson blade..?" he asked and felix nodded a no
" my sword get stronger according to the amount of mana I put in it .. But your's act like a device to let out your energy out ..like now.. You don't have to touch that thing exactly it will just split into two ... Your energy Waves are intense "felix said and lucas nodded a yes
" exactly.. I don't know how to control my energy.. If I used it in the town.. Think about what would have happened .? So will you teach me how to control it? "he asked and he felix smiled nodding a yes
" of course.. How could I refuse something our lucas asked for the first time..? "he said caressing his head.. Lucas stared at him with a blank face then smiled..
" felix you are just like lily.. "he said and giggled as soon as he saw his ears getting red..
" do you like lily..? "he asked and felix turned to the other side
" yeah I do.. Now stop with the chit chat.. Let's start your training.. "he said and lucas nodded a bored yes
" yes Master " he said in obidient tone and felix smiled
" you know what, I am quite strict when it's comes to teaching.. "
" I can see that master .. So what I have to do first..? "
" first run 50 laps.. You lazy magician guy.." he said and lucas sighed as he rolled up his sleeves took out his shirt from tucked and started running..
" he do run quite fast "felix mumbled.

" lucas.. Wake up.. You are sleeping more today "athy nudged him and he woke up his eyes saw a pair of sapphire jewels shining bright at him..
" hii sia.. "he said in sleepy tone as he sit up
" why do you look so tired..? " she asked
" felix is killing me with his swordsmanship training... " he said and she smiled a small and true one
" and you.. Why do you look extra gloomy today .? "he asked and she is silent
" time sure flies fast.. It seemed like yesterday we came back now it's already three months.. Tomorrow jennete and kiel are coming back.. I was having peaceful days until now.. " she said. Lucas face got more blank..
" I see.. I completely forgot" he mumbled..
" you said you want to kill kiel as soon as you saw him.." athy said in a teasing tone and he stared at her with a blank face
" do you always call him kiel?" he asked and she stared at him dumbfounded
" huh..?"
" nothing.. I changed my plan.. I told you I want to see him suffer.. That's more entertaining than killing him.." he said with a sinister smile
"you are crazy" she said
"and you..? Why don't you kill them all..?"
He asked and she become silent
" I don't want to.. Just because. That's not who I am.. If I kill them now. They won't even know why they are being killed..it's already frustrating enough that no one other than me know what they have done to me.. They are living carefree without any guilt while I have to get nightmares because of them..
What's the use in killing them..? When they don't know what they did wrong.? And I don't want to take revenge.. I still don't know what and all makes me happy but I know for sure that won't make me happy... " she said looking down. He is silent listening to her.. He looked up and he smiled gently
" you are such a good girl aren't you..? "he said gently caressing her hair put strand of hair behind her ear.. Her heart skipped a beat seeing him that close smiling gorgeously looking hella handsome and looked away..
" so.. What do you want to do.? " he asked
" I already told You.. I wanna get away from them.. From this palace..but I can't do that until The coronation...they won't even bother if I leave after so that's not a problem.. First I have to survive past twenty and make sure lily and felix are safe, then escape, that's all I want " she said and he nodded a yes.
" pfft ..that's so much like you... "he mumbled
" like me..? "she asked titling her head
" hmm.. Simple...and beau.. Not bad. " he said looking away scratching his nape and she smiled
" you.. just now.. was about to say I am beautiful right..? "she asked and he nodded a no and she pouted looking away.. He stared at her with a small Smile and admiring eyes.
" but I will admit this.. You look like a hamster while pouting.. It's kinda cute " he said poking her cheek and she pushed his hand away
" stop teasing me..." she said and he started laughing..
"pfft.. Are you that shy sia..? Your cheeks are getting red.." he said with a smirk and she facepalmed and stared at him through the gap of her fingers.. He took her hands away giggling and she hit his shoulder..
"ouch.. It hurts."
"then stop laughing you jerk.." she said hitting him again..
A group of mgaicians were standing outside staring at them with awestruck faces
"the Princess look beautiful today too"
"yeah.. He is so lucky to be near her all the time.."
"may be that's why he is laughing.. Do you ever seen him laugh or even smile other than being with princess..?"
"Haah.. Enough of this.. When will they stop flirting..? My legs hurt..I will just get back to my table."
Cabel and rei heard their conversation from inside and giggled as they called them inside.

Lucas. P. O. V..
I was on my way to the tower when I saw a huge crowd of people standing in the front.. Heh.. Seems like that whitey bastard is here..
When I reached the tower there is a notice of meeting in the main palace... Must be whitey 's father' s doing..
When I entered the palace I saw a glimpse of blonde hair shining and ran towards it... As usual she looked beautiful staring at the garden in daze.. Her hair is adorned with real flowers and I don't know which flower is beautiful here..? Her or those garden flowers..?
(their outfits)
" sia.." I called and she turned towards me and smiled..
"hii lucas." she started smiling at me.. Hmm.. It's feels good ot know she added me in her list..
"why are standing here..?"
"don't wanna go inside" she said bored.
"me too..but.. Let's just go and end it.." I said and she nodded a yes as we walked inside.. Wherever she goes every guys would stare at her in awe.. Well.. She is like a walking goddess statue.. I won't blame them
I saw that whitey's head shining in the distance.. That dumb chimera is beside him smiling at him like an idiot.. As soon as I saw him.. I felt my blood boil and my hands itched to kill him right here and now.. I looked away trying to calm Myself.. But it's not working... Should just kill him then..?
I Suddenly felt my burning insides slowly calming down... I turned and looked down and she is holding my hand as we were walking... She stared at me straight in the eyes and smiled saying everything will be OK with her eyes...
I felt my anger melting down.. My heart skipped a beat.. Her eyes holding a whole ocean inside them shining bright.. Her eyes are the brightest in obelian royal family ..
" let's get over this and go out.. Hmm..?" she said tilting her head..I nodded a yes and I know I am smiling...
When I looked up I saw that whitey staring at us with a appalled face.. Pfftt.. This is so fun..
The meeting started.. I and sia sit on our respective seats which are thankfully side by side.. I stared at felix and he winked.. As expected it's felix's doing. Felix is such a good guy, I really like him...I smiled at him as he is standing in between sia and the emperor... Other side of the emperor Sat chimera And whitey
During the whole Meeting the nobles are spouting bullshit.. and I looked around.. White's eyes never left sia.. Chimera looked pissed because of that.. Emperor looked more bored than me.. Felix is pretending to listen while he is half asleep..big whitey must be the only one intrested in this bullshit..
My eyes finally settled on sia who is listening to everyone with keen eyes.. I hold her hand under the table and she slowly turned towards me..
" are you seriously listening to this bullshit..?" I whispered and she said no with her eyes
" I am just patiently waiting for this to end.. I want to sleep this is so boring" she whispered back..
I saw whitey's hand fisted and he looked so pissed. Finally the meeting came to an end and the emperor didn't accepted even a single request argued today.. What a waste of time
He suddenly turned towards me and we both exchanged a bored look.
"ijekiel alpheus" he called and whitey rushed to him almost tripping.. Tch.. Such a doggy
"This is Lucas skyler.. Our new royal magician and magic squad captain " he said... What's with this introduction..?
" lucas.. This is ijekeil alpheus.. Holy squad captain and managing director of finance department.. I hope you two get along " he said with a smirk
Heh.. He is too sharp unlike his blank face.. I smirked back at him as my eyes went to whitey 's..
" hello.. Sir magician.. Nice to meet you.. "
He said smiling.. I am sick of this fake smile.. Seriously.. I returned his handshake
"hii.. Just call me lucas" I said and he nodded a yes
"you can also Just call me ijekiel" he said smiling.. I never said I am gonna call you respectfully though ..
The emperor walked out and that big whitey followed him.. Felix looked fed up with him as he followed the emperor.. Whitey walked past me and went to sia..
"hii Athy .. How are you doing...?" he asked with a bright smile.. I feel like puking.. This fake bastard
"yeah.. I am fine.. Congratulations on finishing your academy course Sir alpheus" she said..
What is this fuzzy Happy feeling inside me..?!! She didn't called him by name..? She used kiel every time she talked to me
"ahem.. Hello sir magician.." I turned to see chimera staring at me with a fake smile..
"I can see how pissed you are princess.. No need to act.. Just feel free to be real around me cause our feelings are mutual " I said and she giggled..
" you are seriously annoying sir lucas.. At the same time.. intresting.. No one ever talked harshly like this to me you know" she said
" I am glad to be the first one... Bye then " I said and walked away.. I turned towards her and sia looked stoic.. He is saying something but she isn't at all Listening
" sia.." I called and three of them turned towards me.. She smiled as she swiftly walked towards me and hold my hand.
" let's go.." she mumbled..
" it seems sir magician got close with Athy in such a short time." whitey said
Smiling but his voice sounded pissed and jealous
" athy is that why you are talking to me differently..?" he asked with puppy eyes.. What the...
" that's some bullshit you are saying sir alpheus.. From what I remember, I started calling you like this after your engagement.. You are my sister's fiance.. I can't casually address you by name .. This has nothing to do with lucas" she said in a blank tone and he looked hurt and pissed..
Pfft.. Sia is the best.. Today is so nice... It's so fun to see him like this.. Chimera looked pleased with sia's answer
"let's go.." I said and we walked out.. They both are standing there staring at us.. Sia doesn't look good..
