Burning Soul

“What do you mean I am not suitable?

Want me to punch in your face and show how suitable I am?” Vivian was quite angry at Milot as he refused to train her right away!

“Argh, I told you I’m not that good with Daggers!

If you can swing a sword, I could help you.

Only my father and that cocky older brother of mine are good at it!” Milot replied with a hit of misbelief.

“Yeah! Why don’t you ask Eric….” Before he could finish he received a sharp glare.

“Ah!

I take it as a no then.

I can do one thing, you can watch us train and see what helps you!

Maybe you could use some of the techniques to refine your skills! Let’s try that one.” Milot finally managed to help her in some way.

“I feel so useless!

Damn, I’ll do it!” She gave in to observing them spar.

After a good two hours later she was quite impressed by his skills,

‘Damn, he didn’t even sweat, and that was way overbearing on both of them.

How Crazy powerful is this guy?’ She was thinking to herself.

…

“It’s getting darker, we should stop!” Dimitri came walking while carrying all three of the tired figures on his magic circle.

“That was so exhausting!” Ember complained to which Catherine and Sylph nodded in agreement.

“haha!

The most energetic of you all is this little one I’ll say!” Dimitri was petting Luna while referring to her.

“So, what are the plans for tonight.

Don’t tell me we are going to the palace!

As that’d mean, you are going to the palace, except me!” Milot asked him eagerly.

Grrrr!

“What’s that growling noise?” Naomi asked to which Milot seemed somewhat embarrassed, after all, he was quite hungry.

“Haha look at you! Acting all tough!” Dimitri was laughing out loud.

“Rest assured, we are staying here, we have that idiot’s tavern by ourselves!

Let’s make good use of it!” His suggestion was a relief for everyone as all of them seemed a lot tired.

…

‘Swoosh….’

A figure came in rushing towards them, “Watch out!” Milot yelled at Dimitri as he sensed someone.

In a split second ten shadows emerged from the trees, one of them rather small but quick as the person appeared right next to Dimitri in no time.

Surprisingly the person seemed not hostile but rather knelt before the King!

“I suppose you are here on my stupid son’s orders huh?” Dimitri asked that person in a low voice to which he received no reply.

“Forgive my rude behavior, my Lord".

Agnes was sent along with the sentinels on a rather different mission.

“I sensed danger so I came in looking for the source.

It was you in the end, Milot!” She looked quite upset looking at Milot who was also witnessing the scene in disbelief.

“What is your problem?

That day too, you ruined my training place by wreaking havoc, and the other day you shot me an Arrow!

I nearly died!” Milot replied in anger.

“Tch, I missed!” Agnes replied regretting,

“Oye what do you mean you missed!

Geezer! You see how badly everyone wants me dead?” Milot complained but Dimitri was preoccupied with the newly arrived person.

“You want me to smash that empty skull of yours open and show how much crap is filled in there?

Bring it on!” She had lost her composure,

“Ahem!” Dimitri was somehow able to silence them!

“Forgive me, My Lord!

I stepped out of my duties and lost my cool as well!” She apologized right away not to anger him any further.

“I forgive you! I’m that big-hearted!” Milot tried to tease her a bit.

“I don’t need your forgiveness!” Somehow she was still trying to keep her cool but her fists showed some other sign.

“So, what mission were you sent on?” Dimitri asked, trying to sway them out of the situation.

“My Lord,

It’s about Sir Eric!

He's gone missing!"
