Chapter - 17

Aric - " If I am Self-centered then why was I always protecting you from them? "

Elina - " When did you protect me? "

Aric - " If you don't believe me, then ask my friends. Ask them, how many times did I protect you from them? "

Elina - " Why should I believe them? "

Aric - " Of course, because there are no other evidence. "

Elina - " That's why I don't believe them. What if they lie to me? After all they are your friends. What if they lie to me to make you feel happy and proud? "

Aric - " You're impossible. "

Elina - " Thank you so much. I am flattered. "

Aric - " You.... "

Elina - " What me? "

Aric - " I can't beat you in argument. So forget it. "

Elina - " You should have thought of it earlier. "

Aric - " Do you dare to accept my challenge then? "

Elina - " What challenge? "

Aric - " Fight with me. Any offence and defence styles are granted. "

Elina - " Fine, I am gonna show you the best combat skills in the world. I accept your challenge. "

Aric - " Fine, since you are a woman, I will go easy on you. In any case I can't hurt you. After all you are my wife. "

Elina - " I accept your challenge but you don't need to go easy on me. Same for me, I will not go easy on you, even if you are my husband. If you get hurt, I will not be responsible. Same for you, if I get hurt, you will not be responsible for it. "

Aric - " You are overconfident. Fine I will crush your overconfidence today. Come on, show us what you have got. "

Elina - " Fine, but I need to change my dress. I can't fight with you with this heavy dress on. "

Aric - " Fine, you get 15 minutes to change. "

Elina went in to her future room. She put on a sports wear and came out.

Aric - " You look good in this dress too. "

Sam - " But sister-in-law, this dress..., it's weird. No one dresses like this here. "

Elina - " I made this myself for the training of combat sports. It's called sports wear. "

Amolin - " What's sports wear sister-in-law? "

Elina - " We need to put on a sports wear when we are playing a game or practicing different type of fighting skills. You all are men and your outfits are designed very suitably for every work. But it's different in case of women. Our clothes are suitable for house works, party and tours only. So I designed this and named this sports wear, because I need to practice my combat skills daily to improve. This body is too weak. I need to make this body as suitable as mine. "

Aric was shocked after hearing that. Elina also felt that she said something wrong. Others were caught her right away.

David - " ( Shocked ) But isn't it your body? "

Kruzz - " ( Shocked ) What do you mean by as strong as your body, sister-in-law? "

Elina - " Actually I was trying to say that I haven't practiced my skills for years. And now, my body is totally weak. I need to regain my strong body. "

Mash - " I was thinking that you were hiding something from us. But it looks like there is nothing. I was overthinking. Anyway,we believe you sister-in-law. There is no need to explain anymore. "

David - " That's right, sister-in-law. Let's begin the war between the Queen and the King. "

The war begun.
