Chapter 271: A little cunning, a little drama

She turned around.

"Do you want to wear protective gear?" Angelo asked, but Elliana smiled and shook her head.

"I am sure Prince Marcus won’t hurt me badly," she smiled.

She stood in the fighting stance and looked at his posture before cracking the bones in her neck as she strengthened her grip on the sword.

"I don’t know how to proceed. Please make the first move," Elliana said, and Marcus smiled in understanding.

"Okay," Marcus raised his sword with controlled strength, and Elliana took a deep breath, letting a little bit of her energies flow into her sword so that her hits were hard.

She twisted her body, countered the attack Marcus made at her, and kicked him as hard as she could, making him stumble back.

"Woah. This is interesting," Santo immediately stood from his seat, making Matilda raise her brows at the girl.

The hit was quite impressive for a human even though their brother wasn’t prepared for it.

Marcus looked at his chest and then at the girl.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry. Are you hurt?" Elliana rushed to him, and Marcus looked at the genuine concern on her face and shook his head with squinted brows.

"No...uhhh...it just caught me off-guard. You are good," Marcus said before he stood in the fighting stance again.

Stephano bit the insides of his cheeks when he saw what was happening and took another sip of his drink.

"Let’s go again. This time I am going to attack your legs, so you should defend yourself by attacking like this, okay?" Marcus gave her the demo, and she nodded.

Marcus narrowed his eyes at her fighting stance. She was standing like a true amateur. Why was her hit so powerful?

He shook his head and swung his sword towards her legs, and she immediately dodged, even the strength she was dodging with, making his hand strain, and Elliana smiled inwardly.

"I think I got the gist of it. I am a fast learner. Let’s begin," Elliana said, and Marcus shrugged.

He started swinging his sword at her, which she was easily dodging without much effort, not only that, she was improvising with each hit.

It looked like her energy was only increasing, and she smirked before launching her first attack after defending herself.

She countered his attack, hit his hand with the handle, and jumped in the air, slicing his chest along the way before she landed behind him.

It was the same technique.

Vincenzo now remembered that once he had asked what kind of sports she liked, and Glow had mentioned that she mostly practiced sword fighting, and they had sparred once.

He was amazed by her skills two years ago. In these two years, she has already gotten stronger. He closed his eyes when he realized what she was doing. Elliana was avenging what Marcus did with Sebastian, and everyone stupidly fell for her trap.

"Damn it," Marcus touched his chest which was healing slowly, and looked at the girl.

"Are you okay, Prince Marcus? Was it too much? I thought I could attack too," Elliana said.

"Of course, you can," Stephano said, and Elliana smiled at Marcus, who looked at his brother.

It almost looked like his brother was mocking him for getting hurt by a human, and he didn’t like it. Marcus took a deep breath and started attacking.

Elliana also stopped pretending that she didn’t know how to fight.

The sounds of the swords hitting each other responded in the ground, and even the guards started to look at the female whose face wasn’t clear because of how fast they were moving.

Marcus’s sword managed to slice Elliana’s hand, and Vincenzo stepped forward, taking his sword in his hand again, ready to save her if Marcus went out of his control.

However, what they hadn’t expected was for Elliana to go even crazier with her fighting skills and attacking.

The power in her sword increased, and she smirked at her hits, looking like she was really dancing in the field with how she was jumping so smoothly, twisting her body at weird angles, and to Marcus’s surprise, he wasn’t even able to use his vampire speed at her.

She sliced his hands one by one before slicing his back and aiming at his legs. She raised her sword high in the air, just like how he had aimed at her Mr. Marino, but rather than hitting Marcus, whose sword she had kicked away earlier, she placed the sword on the ground, falling into Marcus’s arms as if she was beyond tired and hurt.

"Prince Marcus," she blinked at him innocently before smiling.

"You are really the best," she whispered before closing her eyes, making Marcus forget about his wounds and immediately rush to the side of the field.

"Princess. Princess, open your eyes. Fuck, what happened to her?" Marcus patted her cheeks, panicking a bit, and was about to pick her bridal style when Stephano held his hand.

"Go treat your own wounds. You are more wounded than her. Let me get her inside," Stephano said.

"But brother, this fight was my responsibility," Marcus looked at the girl’s pale face, and Stephano suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.

’It was your responsibility because that’s what she wanted you to believe,’ Stephano sighed at the same time as Sebastian walked back to the.

"What happened to her?" His voice dropped a shade as he walked to them in long strides.

He picked her up in his arms, his gaze falling to the large cut on her hand before he looked at his brother who was sliced all over his body.

"You hurt her," Sebastian growled.

Marcus and the brothers - "..."

Does he not see that she probably hurt Marcus ten times worse than her cut? But given how she was a human with no healing powers, they thinned their lips.

"Why did you hurt her? So what if she was a little wishful? You really tried to show your masculinity and powers on a human. Are you happy now? You didn’t even win," Vincenzo shook his head at Marcus, disappointed, and Angelo did the same before they followed Sebastian inside the palace.

Marcus - "..." but what about him who was wounded too?

Nathaniel, who watched everything from afar shook his head at the girl.

He always knew that she was cunning but now that her powers are starting to overpower her, she has become even more deadly than before.

She killed a few people, but rather than being traumatized and remorseful like any normal person who hated blood should’ve been, she was out here hurting more people with a happy smile on her face.

If her affection kept increasing, things would become more complicated.

But before all that, he needs to talk to Arizona about training her now. She needs to be trained with other witches and get into a witch school. He massaged his forehead, questioning his beliefs for the first time.

Even if she was a witch with strong powers, she shouldn’t be okay with all this. She has little to no control over them, yet she is managing them just fine without being found out.

Her powers act like they protect her and are a different personality inside her.

He felt that when he touched her.

It almost looked like her powers who stayed with their eyes closed immediately opened their eyes, looking at him with raised brows. They were offended that he tried to look into her brain. And this was literally not a good sign.

Nathaniel disappeared from his place, ready to go and talk to Arizona.

Meanwhile, Azura who was causally looking at the scene unfolding with a smile on her face, chuckled.

The white witches will be face to face with the dark witches after such a long time. Things are just becoming more interesting.

"You knew how to use a sword," Sebastian asked Elliana, and she, who was pretending to have lost her consciousness, didn’t react.

"My angry little kitten, I sleep hearing your heartbeats and hear them to calm myself. So there’s no one here who knows when you are sleeping, unconscious, or just pretending," Sebastian placed his lips on hers softly, making her lips twitch, and he smiled.

"Stupid girl. You are becoming cunning with each passing day. Why are you being defensive and risking yourself? Should I just give Logan’s position to you?" Sebastian asked, and Logan who entered the room with the doctor stood there with an ugly expression on his face.

Logan - "..." Now what did I do? She has already taken his prince’s heart, and now she wants to take his position too?

No! He won’t allow it! He stomped his way to the bed, and Sebastian smiled against Princess’ cheeks.

Who knows his subordinates better than him? Sebastian immediately masked his expression and stood from his place.

"Is there a problem?" He looked at Logan with a neutral expression.

"The doctor is here, sir," Logan said, a slight pout forming on his lips, and Sebastian hummed with an amused expression.

"Okay. Is there anything else?" Sebastian asked.

"No, sir," he huffed before leaving, making Sebastian raise his brows.

So now his subordinates were learning to throw a tantrum too? She was really spoiling them all, wasn’t she?
