The King's Last Heir

Page 17

Keith had to learn the hard way which was him punching the stick very gently.

“Harder” Ellinor instructed, standing in the sun with him.

His top was covered in sweat but Ellinor? His face was dry under that many layers of clothing!

How's that even possible?!

“What?”

“You heard me, I don't have to say it again” Ellinor snapped

Keith hits the tree once more but Ellinor flicked his tongue in irritation.

“Harder”

“if I go any harder, I will bruise my hands!” He complained

“Do you know why I didn't want to train ypu? Because you complain about every little thing like a little child! This is just the beginning and ypu already have a problem with this!”

“I have a problem? Do you realise how thick this is?!”

Ellinor approached Keith, shoving him to the side as he stood in front of the tree figure.

He punches the tree without stopping, landing blows in the areas that could have been a weak point for a human.

The tree bent inwards when Ellinor lands a fist in the very center of the figure. Keith was dumbfounded but Ellinor cursed.

“Now we need to get another tree. Go and get another one from the store” Ellinor instructed, picking up his sword from the ground ..

Keith was staring at him in silence, mouth agape in surprise.

“How did…”

Keith glance from the tree to Ellinor in shock. He grabs his hands, examine the knuckles closely, not even a scratch!

Ellinor yanks her hands away, face red in embarrassment.

“The more you practice, the better you become. Go and get another figure from the store and get started”

“I don't want to believe that there's no secret to getting this done! That's impossible! Just three punches and the tree broke?” Keith asked

Ellinor shook his head, walking towards the shed without giving Keith a reply.

“Let's get started and stop wasting time!”

Keith walks slowly to the store, trying to figure out if there was something he missed when Ellinor hit the tree.

Keith approached the store and pulled a stop the moment he saw Paula and three other men by the entrance into the store..

Is he safe or should he make a run for it?

Just when he was about to turn on his heels, he heard a voice call from behind him..

“Hey! It's that boy who hit Lord Ling!”

Keith turned to see another of Paula's men approach him with a look of disgust in his eyes.

Keith was just about to apologise for whatever he had done unconsciously that dau but he felt a hand on his shoulder.

The moment he turned, he received a heavy punch to his face, making him fall to the ground immediately.

His lips was coated in blood and his eyes blurred terribly..

“Yes! He is the one who hit Lord Ling the other day! We should make him pay with his pathetic life! How dare he touch Lord Ling!”

Keith felt another hand grab him by the collar and all he could recall was a blast of blue light pushing them all way from him in a blink of an eye.

Keith had to shield his eyes from the bright light and when he could finally open his eyes, the men were badly injured.

Some had broken ribs, some had broken legs and arms…it was a horrific sight to see although bearly a drop of blood was spilled…

The men were hanging on the wall like paintings, it was both amusing and scary…

“What is taking you so long…”

Ellinor stopped dead on his tracks on seeing the injuries men and Keith facing him with a horrid look on his face.

“W…what happened?!” He demanded.

“I…I don't know. They tried to beat me and the moments later, they are all hanging on the wall like paintings” Keith said in seriousness.

For Ellinor who has seen the most horrific sights known to man, this was certainly a far more terrible sight.

He could almost feel their pain through the walls…

“How did you…”

“I don't know! Are they dead?” Keith asked , still horrified..

“Go and pick the tree figure I told you to”

Keith is hesitant but he glared at Keith who composes himself and walks into the store as instructed.

Ellinor steps closer, examine the men who were too hurt to speak. He tried her best to hold back her laughter when she saw how Paula had been baked into the wall like bread daugh to the ceiling!

“..help…me” Paula managed to say.

“You might have to speak out, I can barely hear you over those bones cracking” Ellinor joked

“You little..” Paula winced in pain, almost screaming. His neck was stuck in the wall and any sudden movement was causing him do much pain..

“That's what happens when you think it's okay to beat my student up uhm? Look at him,isn't he just prefect?” Ellinor teased.

“That boy has powers like I've never seen before!” Paula said in honesty.

“Really? Could you describe what happened?”

“It was a bright blue light and it had the strongest wave! If he had tried a bit harder, he could wipe the entire mansion off the ground!”

Ellinor listens to him , her mind wandering off in thought.

If Keith is indeed gifted then he had to have some sort of blue blood running through his veins…

Not everyone had gift and if a commoner shows up with special abilities, it's either he stole the marking of a former gifted or he was born with it..

With Keith's level of control, it is clear that he was born with it. People who steal marking can only control the gift to a certain point…

“I promise, my boys and I will stay away from him… please help us” Paula pleaded.

“Let me think about it, you asked so nicely…” Ellinor pretends to be in deep thoughts.

She turns to Paula with a smile that soon turned to a dark expression.

“No. You and your men can rot here for all i care!”
