[Chapter three]: The True Face Of A

7 hours later:

A woke up and said "Where am I" then He was suddenly hugged by his mother Alice crying and scolding him for that reckless act. A stood in silence knowing his reckless act. Few minutes later Alice stopped crying and stopped scolding A. Allen said "you can rest for today, training will start tomorrow". A said to Allen "Thanks for saving my life Brother".

Next day at the training grounds:

A was running his 25th lap around the castle as a part of his physical training. Allen said "25th lap done" A layed down on the ground and said "Finally it's over" Allen responded with "Tomorrow will be weights while running" A's jaw dropped and said "I can barely run 25 laps and you want me to run 25 laps with weights" Allen responded with "Yes, anymore questions?" A answered with "Nope no more questions"

Some strangers talking while observing them, Stranger 1 said, "What a week guy can't even run 25 laps" Stranger 2 responded with "Father we need to meet the king then you can insult them"

Back to A and Allen, A said "i think I will go to my room and Loki hop on" Loki hops on A's shoulder. Allen told A "We should go to the throne room 1st so I can tell Father about your progress". A said "Ok"

At the Throne room:

A and Allen saw 2 complete strangers and the King said "A and Allen I was about to call you 2 to meet these 2 nobles from another country came here with a marriage proposal for the youngest son of the royal family" A's jaw dropped and said "What the actual fuck I am just 5 years old" King said "Mind your language A" A replied back "I don't even know them" stranger 1 asked the King "May I have your permission to introduce myself and my daughter?" The King replied "Yes you may conduct your introductions".

The stranger started talking first "I am Elaric Lionheart, this is my daughter Mira Lionheart" Mira butted in "Father, I can't be engaged to someone who's weaker than me!" A hearing that got fully enraged and charged at her and landed a nasty kick in her face, "How dare YOU LOWLY VERMIN insult me,A Elrod!" Mira then replied offended and on the ground "You only hit me because you caught me off guard! In a fair fight you wouldn't stand a chance." The prince, being calmed down a bit, accepted her challenge.

At the training grounds

A said "Shall we begin" Mira replied "Yes but it will be a life and death duel" A agreed to the condition. A said "Brother Allen you will be the referee". Allen said "Start", A started the fight with Basic fire magic spell: Fireball (taking 5 Times required amount)Mira defended by cutting the fireball with her blade A attacked again with Basic Shadow magic: Phantom blade (taking 20 Times required amount) but nothing happened then Mira Jumped towards A with her sword aimed at A's chest ready to Kill him then A avoided the strike by side stepping then punched her in the Face, Mira responded by stabbing A in his leg but A was completely unfazed and re responded with drew his sword stabbed her in the arm where she was holding her sword, Mira was in full anger and unleaded the power of the artefact given to her by her grandfather Father But A was prepared and Phantom blade unleash the blade nearly missed her heart but it left her paralyzed. A told Loki to heal him

A slowly walked over to her then grabbed her hair then lifted her head up and said "This is what you get for Insulting a Higher Being like myself" Mira responded with "Do you think I care, I know that you won't kill me because my father has many allies" A responded with "Do you think that those so called allies will mess with the royal family of Edo and the Country if self over a single mortal death" A draws his blade then stabs her heart then picks up the heart to crush it under his foot.

Everyone else stayed quiet because both parties agreed to a life and death duel. A said "Called me weak when she couldn't even kill me" Elaric replied with "You still used tricks to kill her" A replied back "So what? Am I supposed to care about your feelings? And Unpredictability and Chaos is in my blood"

The King said "There is absolutely no point in talking about an already completed battle" everyone agreed, but Elaric still had one last thing to say "My father favoured her greatly and he won't let things slide this easily." After saying that Elaric left without saying a word.

A looking at Mira's dead body said "That guy forgot the artefact" The king and Allen looking at A said "Might as well take it since its your kill" A replied with "Thanks"
