The Celestial Nobles (The Awakening of the Phoenix) [Completed]

Chapter 66: Unstoppable War?

Alice is somewhat having a hard time with Guinevere. She can't seem to get how her enemy managed to control magic even though she is a pure being as what her orb tells her.

"What's up with the look? Surprised to see someone from a swordsman family using magic?" Guinevere asked with a confident tone of voice.

"I am not that surprised at all, to be honest. I also met someone in the past who have the same traits as you." Alice answered, making Guinevere look at her with curiousity. "It just sucks that she's not stronger than you. I killed her easily by the way~" She explained, making Guinevere feel something wrong about the conversation.

"And do you know her name?" She asked, unsure of what to do if her thoughts was right.

"I don't care about who my enemies were. But I tend to carry things around to remember them." Alice showed her an orb and showed her the things that her death enemies used to try and defeat her.
And to Guinevere's surprise... Her grandmother's sword was one of them.
"This is the thing that reminds me of someone like you." She pointed the sword of her grandma.

And with a quick time travel. She remembered flashbacks of her family trying to hide her from the outside world, and trying to explain to her why she couldn't go outside.

"There are so many bad people outside honey~ so you must stay here where you're safe with your mama's arms, okay?"

"Okay mama, love you~"

"I love you too my sweet child."

Then there was the time when her father saw her practicing fencing. So he got mad and told her to go inside the palace and she had been grounded. Until she found out that she can actually use magic, and decided to tell her parents.

"You are not permitted to use such foolery young woman!" The king, his father ordered.

"Why not? It may help our people in the future!" She pleaded but still heard a no. Then another falshback of her mother talking to her on her room.

"There once was a daring woman that came from the family of swordsmen. She was the pride of the empire. But one day, she discovered that not only swords can she use, but also magic! So she helped everyone that is in need and everyone respected her that way. But then, a witch attacked the empire, so she had to face her enemy."

"Did she managed to save everyone?" She asked with a curious tone.

"She did! But the cost was far too great for the empire to accept. She died while serving her place.
Your father heard this story after I gave birth to you. That's why he doesn't want you to do what you want, because he's worried that you might end up like the lady in the story."

With the flashback. Her tears started falling endlessly. She couldn't believe that such story was true. So she looked at Alice who has a wide grin on her face.

"I will kill you! You evil witch!" She started to burst and throw unlimited magic to Alice. Making the latter have more hard time to kill Guinevere.

Traceler looked at Xel with a serious expression. And although he couldn't really tell what Xel was thinking, he knows that deep down, Xel wanted him dead for good. Xel's reaction was dull and void of emotions, but his aura tells everything sinister.

"For a fighter like you, you look kinda serious." Xel then breaks the silence, making him surprised. "I'm not usually the type of a conversation starter. But when I do, I tend to kill that person." He explained, making Traceler scoff.
