The princess and the nobleman smiled at each other as they praised the other for their battle prowess as they smiled at the praise they got from the other. "By the way, did the court mage say anything else before he left this room?" Olivia asked him curiously as she wondered what the mage had said to him. "He said that he wished to teach me in the art of magic, so that I will have more versatility in the future." Lucas said to her as he remembered the words of the man. "Hmm, I suppose that is what he would want. I have been hearing about the court mage thinking about finding his successors since he is growing older and soon he will have to find someone to take his place to serve the kingdom." Olivia said as she looked at him as he looked at her in turn. "I suppose. Having an option available would be beneficial for him. But I am also a member of the Larsen clan, and I'm also the only son, it might cause problems for me if he decides to make me his successor, as I will have to

Lucas slashed the air in front of him with his sword as a wind blade was generated due to the force in which he had swung his weapon. Aslaug in retaliation also swung her sword and created a wind blade which collided with his own as the two destroyed each other. The girl then dashed towards him and traded quick and powerful blows with him as she used her slimmer and more flexible body to attack him while Lucas himself also used his strength to his advantage and used powerful strikes to stagger her back and block her attacks. The bodies of men and women are quite difficult, with men having an advantage in muscular strength and endurance, while women have an advantage in flexibility and speed due to how their bodies are made. Of course, should a person train hard enough then they will be able to bridge the gap between the two genders, but the base strength of both sexes would most likely be the same. Though it also depends on how the person chooses to live as well. Of course, as a d

Eric threw the glass of alcohol across the room as it shattered after hitting the wall as the four maids who were serving him flinched from the violent action as they looked at him with slight fear. But the prince himself didn't care about their reactions as he had a pissed off expression as he glared at the wall. "My reputation has been tarnished and that damned boy is hailed as a hero!" Eric shouted in anger as the maids flinched again from his loud voice. After the end of the war, Eric's reputation in the kingdom had plummeted, no surprise that it has happened of course, as it was him who had decided to start the war with the other country. And their country has lost the war and was humiliated and lost two dragons under their control. And have also been shown to be inferior to their enemy, which has hurt the sentiments of many of the country as well. The other noble families of the kingdom were also of the same mind as they didn't like the fact that they had been defeated,

"My Lord, is this truly the right course of action." A soldier asked Eric as the group of soldiers were walking through a cave tunnel. "Yes. This is the way to get back the respect that I had lost because of our enemies." Eric said to him with a glare at the soldiers. The soldier's flinched at his glare as they knew that they couldn't and shouldn't do anything that might anger him. After all, as the prince of their kingdom, he can do anything he wants to them as he so wished. So doing anything to displease him as it might be dangerous to them. They also don't know what it is that their prince wants to find for himself in the cave, but as soldiers it is their duty to follow his orders and so that is what they are doing. The soldier at the front of the group held his torch as he walked forward followed by the rest of the group as he kept his gaze all around him to make sure that he wasn't taken by surprise by anything in the cave. They silently but methodically advanced into t

Eske frowned as he sat on his throne as the last defeat of their kingdom against their enemy country of Norway. He had thought that they would have been able to beat the kingdom with the dragons that they have with them, and considering the fact that he has his own court mage, he was fairly certain that they would have been able to defeat the army. But the sudden arrival of that boy and his help in the war changed the tides causing them to lose the war and the two dragons. He was obviously displeased with what had happened as he had just lost to their enemies which will be a blow to the pride of his family. But he is also a bit relieved as they have managed to come to an agreement which isn't too exploitive. The fact that the contract was good enough to allow for them to maintain their rule was a good thing, even if they have to give the other kingdom money monthly and also have to give up the rights of the crystal cave as well. There was also the fact that it took a lot of thei
