Glayders' A Princess Tale

A soothing conversation

Virion Eralith

These competitions were never appealing to me but this time it was special for many reasons, for Tessia, for Arthur but I'm sure that brat won't participate, I'm also curious to see the princess of Sapin Kathyln Glayder. It's a huge opportunity for the students to get the attention from the rulers, a great chance to be under the wing of any Lances.
All the rulers were invited for this two day long event.
"Father"
"You're not going?"
"I'm as excited as you to see Tessia's performance but not today"
"Make your time for tomorrow, she'll be in the final round" I assert confidently, of course she will, Arthur maybe one of the strongest of this continent already but he's different no one comes close but Tessia is no less.
"I hope so but what I heard just now is Tessia's team might be facing Princess Kathyln's team"
"So a battle of Princess, I better leave early then"

After reaching the arena of Xyrus, I somewhat felt good seeing all the joy of the kids, all the colours, flames, flags around.
"Bah, Virion I wasn't expecting you, my day is ruined"
A dwarf, a tall dwarf, his body seem as composed completely of muscle. With thick, striated bulbs of hardened flesh covering his arms and body.
"Bhund" former Lance.
"Here to cheer your granddaughter? you're too old to be a cheerleader"
"Shut up"
Bhund always been a pain in the conversation, we made it to the podium.
We sat down as Rinia approached.
The gallery was full, all the teams standing beside their captain.
"All three of them are leading a team, nepotism?"
I didn't reply to him.
Tessia was smiling on the other side Kathyln was looking somewhat sharp, what was shocking for me is that Arthur is in her team, Arthur gave me a smirk, he's watching me, you brat..
Blaine & Priscilla Glayder, inaugurated the ceremony.
I excused myself and entered a private chamber of the arena, Bhund was following me. I ordered a guard,
"Guide Arthur Leywin to this chamber"
"Yes Elder Virion"
"Wait, do not force him, tell me his name"
The guard nodded.
"Who's he? Arthur Leywin"
"Next ruler of this continent" I replied comforting myself on the sofa, taking a sip from the drink, a match ongoing.
Bhund was staring at me for a while then started drinking as well.
Arthur showed up after a while.
"I'm sure you're bored with all that stuff why not have a drink"
"As if you old people are much better" Arthur replied he glimpses at Bhund.
"Arthur, meet Bhund, former lance of the Darven Kingdom"
"No autograph boy" Bhund added.
"Hello, Elder Bhund" Arthur just gave a short nod and sat beside me.
He is acting arrogant but I'm sure he wants to know about the history of Lances from Bhund and Bhund maybe already facing problems to communicate with Arthur.
"Kathyln is going next"
"Tell me more about her" I asked while sipping the drink.
"She's good"
"She can already control the dews around her, amazing" I said watching the battle closely.
"Just showing off her skills, the opponent is too easy for her" Bhund replied.
"It's actually better, either way people will gossip about how she's going easy  or maybe arrogant towards her opponent"
"You seem very interested in her"  I said.
"For the sake of this continent, yes I am"
"Boy, why are you talking as if you're the old man here"
"Have a spar with him, you'll find out"
"Why don't he show that on the stage" Bhund replied.
Arthur smiled.
"A scythe is beyond white core stage, a retainer is close or equal to a white core mage, so only just a few people can sense them"
"What do you mean?" A bit nervous from the sudden change of topic.
"Just wondering"
"The Arena is protected by a powerful shield even a white core mage will have difficulties to destroy and if you're talking about intruders, you can rely on me boy" Bhund glared at Arthur.
After a few rounds of battle,   it was time for the battle we were looking for,
Kathyln Glayder the princess of Sapin Vs Tessia Eralith the princess of Elenoir, the audience irrupt so as we.
