Part 2
Your three-day suspension was up. You were bored to say the least, today's day of training was lack luster in every single way imaginable. We did breathing exercise's. Your lessons were done so you were simply laying in the grass relaxing with Joseph. You were glad to at least have Joseph by your side. Your eyes land on the boy and you notice him looking at something. You follow where his gaze was, and it led to the inner palace where the royalty stayed. You thought what it was like to be royalty, their living conditions would definitely be better than yours, but you found it would be stuffy to live with so many rules. As mages, like knights, your job is to protect the crown. But you've never even caught a glimpse of what the royal family looks like. You've only ever heard of the royal princess. You wondered if they were snobby as well. You sighed softly as a cool breeze passed by.
"Hey, have you seen the princesses before?" you asked Joseph. He was messing around with his magic and hummed a reply "yes" he answered
"Wait, what, really?" you sat up and looked at him, his eyes met yours his face neutral as if it wasn't a big deal.
"When did this happen? We've been stuck together like glue" you frowned "When the heck did you find the chance to meet the princesses"
"It was when you skipped out on training" he responded
"Oh, dang it" you feel sudden regret over that day not that it could be helped. You were hiding from teacher that day after getting in trouble.
"So what were they like? Were they nice?" you asked
"They were pretty and nice" he answered
"Prettier than me?" you smiled at Joseph.
Joseph squints his eyes at you unamused "Yes" he answered
"Joseph, you jerk you're not supposed to agree" you punch at his arm in a pout. "But Y/N your more like a guy than a girl I can't see you being pretty" he replies
"Joseph, you jerk! What part of me is like a guy huh? What part?" you grab him by the shirt fist clenched tightly ready to punch him.
"This part" he responds, and you drop him with a huff "Whatever I'm still young, when I become an adult then you'll really see how pretty I am and regret today" you spoke haughtily
"That won't happen until you fix that bad attitude of yours" you grew irate and tackle him to the floor. "Joseph you bad kid, are you talking back to me now?" you frown and then stand up
"Oh I know what it is" you smirk "You get a little lucky in class last time and you think you can beat me now huh?" you tease "Come on lets go a round" you grin
Joseph sits up and sighs "y/n..." he's reluctant.
"Come on" you urged. He stands up and before the two of you can start you hear your teacher's voice.
"What are the two of you doing?" your teacher stands with his arms crossed staring at you sternly.
"Nothing we were just about to have a friendly little spar" you grin nervously. He only glares and you sigh "Geeze teach I feel like you only ever glare at me" you pout
"It wouldn't be like that if you weren't one of my most troublesome students" he sighs and places his hands on his hips. You walk up to him hands behind your back with a coy smile "let's be honest I'm one of your best students, I keep you feeling young" you boast
He roars in laughter and picks you up as you sit in his arms. "More like add gray hairs to my fur, I'm well over a hundred years old and I've never been as tired as when I'm dealing with you" he grins showing his sharp carnivorous teeth.
