The Crowned Prince Of Estrius

Zulia P.O.V

The joy i felt from the cheers of the crowd in my heart was so soothing but it felt not worth it.

"They're nothing but just weaklings, it's not worth the cheer".

"They're not weaklings Lia, the fight you just had not everyone saw it, it was probably too fast for their eyes, in other words you used one of your abilities and they couldn't catch up with you and that's what is called Floating step, They're not weaklings you were just too strong for them" Prince Cyrus says.

The Blonde man laughs

"You don't even know the name of the ability you used, I always knew females are not worthy of power or strength, you only belong to the kitchen and the bed" He scoffs

I held the tip of my sword at his neck "Seems you have no respect for females, say another shameful word and I'll have your tongue". I gave him a stern look,

"Lia!!!, do you want to be beheaded?, he is from a royal family" Erin yells

The crowd looked cold and silent.

"Royal... Is he the fourth Prince?" I shook in fear.

What have I done, I pointed my sword at the Fourth Prince of Ztoa,

"Hahaha, I am indeed a Prince but not of this kingdom, I am The Crowned Prince of Estrius, Prince Caderyn" He smirks.

"Oof!!!" I felt a sense of relief,

"I thought you were the fourth Prince, i'm glad you're just a Prince from a low—".

Prince Cyrus covers my mouth,

"You talk like you're from a higher caliber than him, watch what you say" He gave me a stern look.

"I apologize for my foolishness Prince Caderyn". I bowed slightly.

"How idiotic of you to think I'll let this slide with an apology, What's your name?".

"My name is Zu... My name is Lia". I bowed my head.

He walks closer as I spot his shoes,

"I've taken a liking to you, why don't we place a bet".

Prince Travis looks at me and shakes his head in disagreement.

"And what is the bet about?".

"We would have a duel, if you win, you get to keep your head and won't be beheaded but if I win, you become mine, I'll put you in your place and show you how useless you are on the battle field but useful you are in my bed" he rubs his perverted hands on me.

"And what if I deny to such duel?".

"Then i guess you don't need that head of yours, I'm just giving you a chance to live, My Lady".

The preparations of the next duel began.

"You're such a handful, you should've just kept shut" Prince Travis frowns.

"How tough can he be, I'm sure not as strong as you."

"I'm flattered but he is still too tough for you to handle, the meaning of his name is the battle king, don't underestimate him".

"I won't Prince Travis". I smiled.

The duel began, as Prince Caderyn strides along

"I'll try to go easy on you, and will give you an easy way to win, First to give up wins" Prince Caderyn says,

The crowds cheers,

"So you mean this is a duel of endurance, as long as I don't give in"

"Now let the duel begin!!!" Erin waves the flag.

"You have to keep your eyes on me, or you're going to get more hurt than this" He slits my arm in a blink of an eye.

I was sure my eyes was on him.

"That's what we call the floating step".

I unsheathe my sword as I went on defense,

"You're quite clever for a female, I thought you'll foolishly attack me".

My arm stings, as blood drips down, i don't even have that time to wrap it, if I take my eyes of him, he will—

He slits my back and I fell on my knees.

"Urghh!" it hurts, why is he so fast?, I can't catch up to him.

Trying to keep up with his speed, I was able to cut the hem of his clothes, but it wasn't deep enough to slit his skin.

He kicks the back of my knees as I am weakened, I'm losing stamina and the sun is burning my wounds.

"Your Floating step needs some honing, you're not even close to my strength, you are an incarnation of a weakling".

He turns as he lands a kick on my face, I fell flat on the floor, he's too fast, I hear a ringing sound in my ears.

Then a black aura shadows me.

"Greetings Lial, I am finally free" the voice says as the aura of shadow covers me and repeats it over and over.

Seems Zamora had a trigger in the castle and she let Orah out, Now I understand the dark aura I saw a while ago and thanks to that aura, I feel refreshed, a bit of the power of Lial is released in me.

I stood up as I feel surging power flashing in me, in a blink of an eye, I slashed the arms and legs of Prince Caderyn, rendering him motionless,

he falls over, with the tip of my sword in his mouth.

"Say one word and I'll cut your tongue off".

The power of Lial I got was for a second but I was able to move in such speed a normal eyes can't keep up.

Now it all makes sense, I now know why Toketa is so fast.

"Why are your eyes gold?" he muttered with the sword in his mouth.

"Let me go.. Please I give up, I surrender" he cries.

The crowd didn't cheer for they were also confused on what happened.

Even though his plea reached my ears, I couldn't remove my sword from his mouth.

'Kill him Lial' 'Kill him Lial' 'Kill him Lial'. The same voice whispers over and over.

"Prince Caderyn" A voice yells, snapping me out of my mind.

I gently removed his sword, Prince Caderyn looks at me with terrifying eyes.

A man approached us.

"Princess Irina fainted" He shouts.

"My sister ... What happened to her?" he yells as he ran off.

My head feels fuzzy, my body hurts, I fell to the ground, all I saw before my eyes closed, was Prince Cyrus who lifts me off the ground.

"For a Princess, you're quite tough" he mutters.

Did I hear him well, my ears are still ringing.

The voice kept talking

~I gave you a bit of your power and yet your body couldn't withstand your OWN power~ the voice dissappears.
