The Lost Elf Warrior

Chapter Twenty

XAVIER

"You need to bend your knees more" It has been a week since we both agree that I train with her and prepare her for the trials. I agree that I help and to show her things she can use to survive in the tournament, but there is one thing I cannot promise things that can't be promise. When I make promises, they end up breaking and I refuse to make a promise to this girl that could go wrong in the tournaments.

"I am bending my knees as far as I can, remember I have shorter legs then you have" That made me chuckle, but it is no time for laughing and teasing, the first trial tournament is tomorrow, and we have been doing this for about three hours with no rest.

"You should know if it starts to hurt it is meant to; then you will be able to move quicker on your feet" I said, I swing my sword just as she blocked it which she improving on her speed then she first started.

"Funny, if you wanted to insult me about my speed movements you should of stay it to my face instead of riddles" She raised her eye brows at what she said, swinging her sword which I blocked.

"The trial is tomorrow you need to focus" I told her seriously. She is stressing me out knowing she might get herself killed.

"Oh, thank you for the reminder, I should have asked Valerian to help me out, but I have to be stuck with you cunt" I groan at her words with a roll of my eye.

Even though she could have had a chance to asked for Valerian or Eldric or anyone she asked me. I don't know why though, she could have asked anyone else, but she choose me. It flatters me really, but she gets on my nerves even when she don't quiet down with her comments towards me.

"Alright, rest" I said drawing my sword away from her. She drop her sword that chatter to the floor out of breathe. I watch her as she stumble for the goblet of water near a table, she drown it down that I bet it half gone. I put the swords away as she walked back over to me wiping her mouth where she missed the drops of water. I should look away before she catch me looking but it is so tempting to want her to catch me.

"Do you know what the first challenge is for tomorrow?" She asked me, her eyes shown anxious and worried about what she is about to face tomorrow.

"I can't give you that information" I told her sighing to myself. Her eyes narrow together, and I can sense her anger building up.

"Why not?" She asked, gritting her teeth.

"The rules are rules for the tournament. But all I can say is the walk can be dangerous, reckless even" I told her.

"The walk? Can be dangerous? Reckless? What kind of walk?" She asked chuckle to herself but also confusion was in her voice.

"Just get some rest for tomorrow" I told her. She needs to rest to have energy tomorrow.

"Fine" She scoff walking away. I watch as she leaves the room.

I can't know what will happen tomorrow, but I have my bets on her that she will make it through the first trial.

When I open my bedroom chambers door, I was surprised to find it empty for once. Bianca was not in here like she is always does. The door close and echo in silence, I place my sword and cloak down on my table as I run my fingers through my hair.

I hate it here, this place have so many terrible memories I don't want to remember, if my powers could erase them, I would be gone with this dark hole I have fallen in. Everyone seems to see me as the villain and I am the villain to them, my sister says she trust me, but she should not trust me.

I am not someone to be friends with.

I am not someone to be loved with.

I am not someone to be allies with.

I am not someone to be the prince of Mireworth Fortess.

To me I am the villain. I am pain. My life is around darkness and pain. It is my doing that I cause everything. And some say I would sit the throne that my sister sits. But she is the first born and I am the pain.

The pain to my own hell.

"Stressful day my prince" I can feel her smirk behind me, and I did not need to turn around to know it was Bianca. I slowly turn around with my jaw clutching.

"Bianca" I said with a little nodded. This thing we have needs to end it is now wrong that I have seen it now. Valerian should have told my sister long ago and I would not be force into this torture.

"Does my future king needs to be satisfied by his future queen" Bianca twirl her purple hair around her fingers while she wet and bite her lip.

"Bianca, we need to talk about us" I started which she scoff.

"This needs to end. We are not right for each other you are- I don't know how old you are, but I am a hundred and eighteen, the prince and what we have is wrong, Valerian knows and could tell anyone at any moment, it's time we go our separate way and forget each other" I said. I know Bianca better than anyone and she won't take this the good way. What Bianca wants she gets, and she won't stop until she gets it.

"It's that red head human whore isn't it. She has bewitch your mind" I rolled my head back looking up at my ceiling, every time.

"Bianca it's not her. It's us" I said the words slowly for her to understand but Bianca laugh like I am mad.

"You are blind. Ever since she got here you have not had the opportunity to fuck me day and night, you have been running about like a mad prince, piss at this human that is not our kind. And when you look at her you don't look at me the way you look at her; it's like I am not here. You're in love with this whore" I then grab Bianca by the neck and squeeze her making no air come through as I glare down at her.

"You think I'm in love with her? I brought her here in case those demon elves catch her scent and come looking for her. She can see us she might be a reader or an elf, but her mother has the answers I hate the girl and want her out of my way and the only way to do that is to find her mother. And don't ever. Fucking. Call her a whore again. If you do. I'll kill you myself" I said in every word I keep on squeezing her neck, I see tears pour down her face, but I don't care.

"Do you understand?" I asked but all she did was nodded. I let go as I hear her cough; I turn my back and start to loss my hair down that was tied in a single braid.

"Do you love me?" I heard Binaca say as her voice crack as if she were going to cry, Bianca never cries but I could not care less if she does cry.

"Goodbye, Bianca" I said coldly, my back still turn away from her.

Bianca scoff, her heels click against the floor to walk away but then I heard her pause near the door to my chambers.

"You're going to regret this. I am Bianca Frost, and I get what I want, when I want. This is not over" Her words were just an echo to me and the slame of my chambers door made me breathe again.

It may be over for now, but it is not over for her.
