The Beast and the Sword Book 2: The Changes

Page 21: The Princess and the Lion

-Vermillion Household-

    All had been quiet throughout the Vermillion household, and the night had proceeded as usual. Most of the butlers and maids had been busy with evening chores. One servant in particular had entered the household, holding a document before he quickly made his way towards a room in particular, as there appeared to be smoke, like something had been freshly burned.

    With a gulp the young servant went and opened the door, entering the room.

    "Ma-Master Mereoleona!" The servant said to who appeared to be a young woman, "The Wizard King has sent the report you requested, in regards to Primrose Vera."

    The woman--Mereoleona had stopped her magic before she turned to the servant, "Really? Bring it over."

    The servant flinched before he said, "Y-yes M-Ma'am!" He quickly went over to her without delay before he handed her the report. She soon read it thoroughly as she soon had a smirk on her face as the servant heard give out a chuckle before she motioned the servant to leave.

"So we're finally gonna meet--Princess."

    A week had passed by, after Prism's arm had reverted to that of a lizard, and they each had more questions then they did answers. All they did know was since those two days, something in Prism changed. All Prism was... She awakened something in her or rather, it was something she always had. Though she didn't know about it until recently. Let's just say there was a bit of an accident involving a glass of water, and now her entire left hand had to be bandaged.

    Now, the Captains had to put it to the test, to see exactly what they were dealing with.

"One, two, three--GO!" Yami said.

    Prism started to go at it with her uncle Nolan as they had both started to arm wrestle, though Prism herself had been struggling to keep her arm up. Though much to Nolan's surprise--He had found himself equally matched with her.

    "Well how about that--" Nolan said with a grunt, "--You're actually a challenge for me, just like your mom!"

    "Tha-Thanks I guess!" Prism said as she struggled to keep up.

    "Come on, Pri!" Pluck cheered

    "You can do it girl!!" Aisling said.

    "You do realize they're not actually competing right?" Feodora said as she gave Pluck a look.

    "Still it helps!" Pluck told her.

    "Yeah we do this all the time!" Aisling added

    "Of course you guys do.." Karasu said as he rolled his eyes

    Noelle could only have a look as she said, "This is not what Royalty supp-"

    Pluck only pinched her lips as he told her, "Shush."

"Come on Pri!" Asta cheered, "You got this! You can beat him and his cool looking hat!"

"Was that supposed to be an insult?" Saorise asked curiously.

"I think?" Brenin said.

"That's weak." Liam said.

"We REALLY gotta work on that." Feodora said to Asta.

"FEO, YOU'RE NOT CHEERING LOUD ENOUGH!" Asta shouted as he shook Feodora a little, though she wasn't phased by it, as she only rolled her eyes again.
