░▒▓█►─═ Chapter 4 ═─◄█▓▒░

We walked through the throne room to see the king. It was a long a beautiful corridor, starkly contrasting the outer reaches of the city. It had purple banners with the kingdom sigil embroidered on them hanging in between columns of marble. When we finally got to the king his wealth showed even more so. He was a middle-aged man with red hair and a beard, his crown was made of gold and had all kinds of jewels on it. He was wearing a cloak made out of white Tiger fur (Very expensive and hard fur to get), and he wore jewelry all over on top of his purple and white garmets.

When he finally spoke he had a frown on his face saying, "So you aren't going to bow?"

Being wrapped up in all the decorations I totally forgot about the formalities. Tetra and I shared a nervous laugh, and we responded with, "Sorry mi'lord. We are from the country, please forgive us."

The king laughed at this. He looked back at us and stated, "It's fine I don't mind. It gets boring around here when everyone kisses your ass. I thank both of you for coming here. Truth be told I though it was a lost cause, but when I heard what you two can do I regained hope. I might as well bring out your student. Mina come out here!"

Lost cause? Just how bad was this princess at magic?

The princess came out and she was the opposite of Tetia. She had Red hair compared to Tetia's Blonde, her skin had freckles to Tetia's pale skin, and she had green eyes to Fetus's blue. She was beautiful, and she seemed about our age. I may have fallen in love on first sight. Tetia didn't seem to like her that much, as she frowned at her. Her first words to us were, "What is that thing doing here? Isn't he too young to have a slave? He looks too scrawny and what is with his curly hair? Why did you find kids to teach me? What the fuck is this? They look like they are poor and from the country too!"

Well I guess her personality is bad, but that can change right? Maybe if I be nice enough to her it'll work out, and maybe we can even date! Tetia didn't like it too much though, and she showed it. Mina noticed Tetia's look and told me, "You! Watch what your slave does!"

I told her, "How can I control how someone looks? Besides she is my best friend not my slave, so can you please stop calling her that?"

Fuck this is going bad. Now it will be even harder to get on her good side. Tetia seemed to like what I said, but Mina looked like she didn't. Her words to me after confirmed that. She proclaimed, "What how could that piece of trash be your friend. This just confirms my suspicions that you are poor. Maybe father thought that this would humble me, but it will not influence me at all. I'll tell you what if you beat me in a duel then I will accept you as me teacher, but if you can't you will leave. You will also leave her here, so I can teach her a lesson."

I looked around the room, and everybody seemed to have either an exasperated or worried look on their face. I wonder why, isn't she supposed to be weak because I have to teach her? The king looked at me and said, "I'm sorry this happens everytime. Do you accept it?"

I was still confused and responded, "Well I guess. I came here to teach her, and I can't really let her say all that stuff or touch Tetia. Does his majesty mind if I hurt her though?"

He looked at me with pleading eyes and stated, "Please do... "

I don't understand isn't she supposed to be bad at magic? Other than that she looks like she doesn't have any flaws other than her personality, and that can be changed... Right?
