Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 348: Ruthless Illumia

Illumia hadn't spoken a single falsehood; while she may dearly love me, she also didn't hold back at all during our spar; every attack she landed on me drew blood and left a rather deep cut on my perfect body. Of course, I wasn't unfamiliar with wounds or pain, so her aggressiveness didn't frighten me, but the spar, which was only supposed to last for two hours, went on for three, which may not seem like a massive increase, but when you're entire body is aching in intense pain from the many wounds you've sustained, an extra hour felt far longer than the previous two hours; not to mention, I was practically exhausting every ounce of my Qi, even my phenomenal reserves couldn't keep up with Illumia's ruthless onslaught of attacks.

The moment Illumia lowered her axes, I promptly collapsed on the ground before she could officially end the spar; I was far too exhausted and injured to honestly even care at this point; I just wanted to rest.

'Ugh, I-I still have to practice my techniques after this; tsk, being a Prince isn't fun.' Thought Elif with an ugly expression as he remembered his day wasn't over, causing him to close his eyes while gasping for breath as the sun illuminated his bloody body.

"That shall be all for today, your Highness." Said Illumia blandly as she stored her wooden battle axes in her dimension ring before glancing at Elaine, who kneeled right beside Elif.

"Brother, are you okay!?" Asked Elaine in concern as she gently raised Elif's head onto her lap, causing him to contain the painful hiss he nearly let out.

"Well, I-I'm still alive, aren't I?" Replied Elif weakly with a faint smirk as he opened his eyes to glance at Elaine, who merely frowned before raising her head and looking at Illumia.

"What is the meaning of this Illumia!?" Exclaimed Elaine in slight anger as she narrowed her eyes at Illumia while her hidden madness calmly remained at the depths of her heart.

"His Highness requested I increase the intensity of his spars, your Highness." Replied Illumia softly as she slightly bowed towards the angry Elaine before shifting her gaze to Elif, who looked like he had just emerged victorious after fighting a deadly battle against an army.

Hearing her so blatantly lie while also pushing the blame onto me caused my face to aggressively twitch at her shamelessness, though when I saw Elaine stare at her, I inwardly grumbled before eventually nodding with a sigh after a few seconds.

"Y-Yes, Illumia speaks the truth, Elaine. I had asked her to increase the intensity of our spars; they were becoming too easy for my liking." Stated Elif softly with a forced expression as he nodded while gazing at Elaine, causing her to furrow her brows only to glance at Illumia before scoffing.

"Hmph, well, I don't like it." Remarked Elaine with a deep frown as she tapped Elif's dimension ring, causing a pill with five golden stars to appear within her hand before she gently fed it to him, though not without her fingers getting sucked on.

"I don't like a number of things, such as having the duties of the Crown Prince, but alas, that won't be changing any time soon, will it?" Said Elif lightly, breathing a sigh of relief as he commanded the soothing Qi of the pill to circulate through his body, healing the most grievous of wounds.

Elaine clearly didn't like my words as she gave me an annoyed look while hesitating to feed me a Qi rejuvenation pill, but after a few seconds, she eventually did, though she continued giving me an irritated look, which caused me to chuckle since she probably didn't realize how utterly bewitching she looked; the only thing preventing me from getting an erection was probably the low amount of blood within my system right now.

After a few more minutes of comfortably enjoying my little sister's plump thighs against the back of my head, I finally stood onto my two feet, and although I was far from fully healed, I'd recovered a decent amount of Qi, and my physique was relatively robust so I could withstand a beating.
