Sorry for not posting yesterday, guys, I had a family health problem and couldn't make it. To make it up, I'll post four chapters today, the one that was supposed to be up yesterday, the one for today, and two extra ones.

Castin, Adelyn's pug and spirit guardian, seemed to be telling something, because she said, "It's okay, Castin, everything is okay. I'm not being impulsive. Natasha may be my friend, but as the 2nd Imperial Princess, I cannot turn away from a challenge or from an insult that hurts my pride, even if it was not intended as an insult. I would bring shame to my house if I didn't answer accordingly. If Natasha believes she would win against me, then she needs to prove she can back it up."

"Back what up?" Leonard popped up behind her with magic, then he looked around us, back to her, only then he met my eyes. "Throwing a Royal party, are you, Princess Natasha?"
