The Cruel Prince Loves Her so She Agrees to Save the World

Training was my favorite time of day pt 1

I finished breakfast and dressed in my vest and leggings, attached my daggers to my thighs and in my boots, I was so ready to take down my brothers. I knew they would all be there trying to cheer her up. And they knew the best way to do that was to try and beat me at my own game. Now the whole castle would know of yesterdays events. They would about me being a necromancer now. They probably think I'm dangerous now and fear me. Women weren't necromancer. It's not like powers had genders assigned it's just certain gifts manifest differently in different people. And necromancy didn't appear in women since that kind of magic was incompatible with us because of that whole giving life thing we can do. So I was just one big walking, talking anomaly.

I leave my room and headed toward the training grounds. When I arrived at the entrance, I noticed noticed the score board had changed and....

"Elliot..." I growled noticed he beat me in archery recently. That little shit. Probably thinks he's all bad ass now once he knocked me out of first.

Well, I know what my goal for the day is. Humble my brother and knock him out of my spot.

As I approach, I notice movement behind me. He was fast but I was faster. I waited for the opportune time and when it came, I dodged him and turned to flip him over, pinning him to the ground. I climbed on top sitting perched on top and pulled my dagger from my boot and put it to his throat.

"Haha, you have to be quicker than that to pull one over on me Erinn"

"Okay okay you win, now get off me you fat cow" Erinn grumbled, I could tell he embarrassed by being bested by his baby sister. His cheeks were red with frustration.

Hearing an applause now I reminded there was actually an audience for my big brothers humiliating defeat. Half the castle was present. Oops. "Ha! Erinn how do expect to command an army if you let a little girl get the best of you!" Alistar shouted from across the the way.

"You shut the hell up, Ass-Star not like you could have done any better!" Oleander yelled. Oleander was Arragon's younger twin brother and my 4th oldest brother.

He was my main training partner, only him and Alderic could keep up with me most of the time, let alone beat me. All of my brothers were present as well as HIM. What was he doing here? At MY training grounds? Who invited him anyways?

"That is where you are wrong little brother" Alistar retorted "I would not engage in a physical battle with my sister, that is not where my skill lies. I am not a babbling buffoon that just throws around my body or metal. I'm an intellectual I battle with my mind not my fist. And that's a battle I know she can't win" glaring at me with a snide smile.

"You know you're right! But I could catch you before you could beat me back to a library. I'd like to see how your 'big brain' gets you out of my grapple" I growled at him standing up from my crouched position on top my brother.

"Let's put your brains and my fists to the test 'big brother'" I yell taking off kicking dirt on Erinn who was pushing up off the ground.

"Gods, I hate you Rion you're such brat!" Erinn yelled back at me.

In seconds I was in front of Alistar and I throw my fist at his face and his eyes go wide, surprised by my speed, he uses his magic to misty step back making me miss his face barely by an inch. He ducts me using his magic to deflect my blows. I can feel the frustration building. I hate people who use magic, they're biggest pain in my ass as far as training opponents go.

"Neat magic trick, just wait, you'll run out of mana before I run out of stamina."

***

Orion and Alistar are now engaged in their own fight. After she had beaten Erinn in front of half the castle, Alistar couldn't let her beat him in front of everyone, especially after all the shit he just talked. Back and forth they go her throwing blows and him dodging them, he tried to hit her with a blast of wind knocking her back some, she jumped back on to her feet and lunged at him again, she was getting frustrated, and he saw. He saw his opening and he summoned a solar blast in the center of his hands. He blasted her in the chest knocking her down again. Orion was losing her focus, and she knew she had to check back in.
