Shooting Daggers

"You want me to defeat him? She asked with an incredulous look on her face, "of course, you want me to defeat him!" 

Though she was still not sure, she had realized one thing. The mood of his father change faster than the woman in menopause. He was not reliable at all.

Elric could feel the pressure and the hidden threat in the eyes of Leo but he looked away.

He was not expecting to meet him in the first place. Since the time he had left the palace, he only wanted to meet the girl once again. 

He wanted to see if she was good at everything. But then, she had cleared it that she will not befriend a fool!

So he had worked day and night to find something worth presenting to her.

The walk to the palace from the garden was the longest walk Elric had taken in his life as the eyes of the man were boring holes into his back.
