The love between a humans and Witch Princesses

Chapter 23

Familiar presence

Solid couldn't believe he lost to Noelle. I can't even imagine how much she could improve. 

"Maybe you let your guard down, that's why you lost to Noelle." I tried to cheer him up.

"URGH! When I see that Noelle, I will make sure she will apologize to me until her last breaths!"

I sigh. "You don't have to be that harsh, Solid."

"What? Are you on her side now? Do you feel bad for her now?"

I shrug. "I don't know... Maybe she just improved a lot with that shitty squad." I said. "I mean, you could learn a lot when you hand out with the peasants."

"What do you mean by that?" He asked suspiciously.

I look away in embarrassment.

Shit! What did I just say? I thought.

"N-Nothing." 

He didn't look convinced but it's enough to take it for granted, though.

But... I just couldn't help but notice that guy... The guy with a weird mask... The red-haired guy... Who is he? I thought in wonder.

"Hey, nee-san-" Solid was cut upon feeling a strong presence of magic from outside. 

I feel it too but it's very dangerous. 

I got on my feet to get ready to defend my little brother from whatever was coming. 

When the door was broken, I was surprised that it was Magic Knight from the Golden Dawn squad. I opened my grimoire to fight her.

"I guess I have to teach you peasants a lesson. A lesson where you'll learn to respect, us, royalty."

She scoffed. "So, I was right." She said looking down on me. "It is my lucky day for killing a royalty. A direct descendant to that two-faced Prince."

I frown. "I don't know who you're talking about but I want you to get out! Now!"

She opened her grimoire and made me give her an attack spell. "Useless." She said and my attacks were going upwards.

"I guess you like to play, huh?" I said with a smirk. "I'll play with you, then."

I made some clones of myself and I was confident that she wouldn't hit me, but to my surprise, she hit me. In just one attempt.

I fell on the floor with her spear on my right stomach as my blood was spreading on the floor. 

"Nebra nee-sama!" Solid shouted making him try to attack her with his strongest spell but it went upwards. "Curse you lowly lives!"

Well, this is my brother, after all.

When Solid went to me to help me up to escape, the lady gave us her strongest attack spell but we were both on the ground. We just couldn't move.

Solid's voice was ringing through my ears but my eyes were getting blurry as I tried my best to keep myself alive and awake for my brother. As the attack was about to hit us, that weird masked guy suddenly popped into my head and then my friend, Zora, making my eyes turn wide.

Why did I suddenly think of them at the same time? I thought. 

Will I at least see him one last time before I die?

I slightly close my eyes getting ready to be hit but the hit never came. When I opened my eyes, the sight of our older brother was relieved but Noelle being one of them who will save us is a sore.
