The Chronicle of Aurelia Aurelius

Chapter 15

In front of me, there was a plan of sparring between Lady Octavi and Adel from me, but the sparring became more personal to each other, even Adel called Lady Octavi without honorifics. Each of their faces was so angry with each other.

Adel the one who opened the sparred, she dashed fast to Lady Octavi, saw Adel came to her at full speed, made Lady Octavi took a step back for keeping the distance between Adel and her. In front of Lady Octavi, Adel took her right feet in front of her, and swung her dagger horizontally at Lady Octavi's neck. *clang* In response, Lady Octavi blocked the swing with her sword where her two hands gripped it tightly. Seeing Lady Octavi both hands in the sword, Adel's skirt suddenly lifted up, I saw some sheaths of dagger in her thigh, and her left foot flew at the head of Lady Octavi..

Lady Octavi sensed Adel's foot, made her lose the sword grip with just her right hand in the sword, her left hand immediately repelled the attack from her left side. Knowing that her position was not suitable like Adel, Lady Octavi suddenly lost the clash with the dagger on purpose, so the dagger got pushed to the neck of Lady Octavi. But the swing of Adel's dagger in Lady Octavi's neck just swung a wind, Lady Octavi saw the chance in Adel's right foot, her body now focused on her right foot. Lady Octavi descended her body, she swung Adel's right foot horizontally. Seeing the threat, in quick response, Adel jumped to the back with frontlipping, and completely landed.

I was dazed by the two, I thought it was not just me, Alecia who beside me was amazed by it. The sound of the dagger and the sword clashed roaring in the area. I saw their faces become more intense in the spar. After some moments, suddenly there was Alicia and Aelia beside me, and I turned my back, there were some servants who watched the spar. More servants came to the garden because of the roaring of the clashes between sword and dagger, even the little two came to the garden with their maids and Felix. However, their maids' faces seemed not happy, not just their maids that showed not happy faces, but all the maid's faces showed non happiness or anger toward the spar.

While I was looking at everyone behind me, their faces were changed to shock, there must be something in the spar, I turned back to the spar and was surprised. Their weapon color was changed, from silver steel to blackest. It was not just the weapon, their hand that gripped the weapon slowly became black like the weapon until the elbow. After their hand became completely black, a glowing light appeared in their hand and formed a sort of rune.

After everything, they readied to exchange their swing, they dashed to each other, at the same time a white dagger appeared in the middle of the ground out of nowhere from the sky. They stopped immediately and dropped their weapon, I saw they were frightened and trembling to see that dagger, not just them, every servant around felt the same. I looked at the house to find out where the dagger came from, there was no trace from the house.

I looked at Adel and was just standing there, not moving a single inch. She just looked down. I stood up and walked toward her. On the way to Adel, Livia and Martia, the maid of little two passed me and immediately grabbed both of Adel's arms. Seeing that, I quickly ran.

"What are you two doing with Adel?" I asked them.

"We just want to borrow Adel for a moment, my lady.."

"To where? And what for?"

"We can't inform my lady about that.."

"BUT SHE'S STILL MY MAID, you need to tell me where and what you want to do with Adel.."

"Still we can't inform you.."

"NOO!" I grabbed Adel's waist with both hands.

But still they kept bringing her with them while I grabbed Adel's waist. The little two, Ophelia and Aurelio blocked them in front of them, and grabbed Livia and Martia's legs.
