Chapter 03

  ELLANDRIA

"Rowland!!" I exclaimed with a slight coldness in my voice.

"Ella! It's been ages since I saw you. You already gained more weight than before." he sized me with his eyes and carried me.

"Yeah that's simply because you left the palace for Sky High Sect to learn how to cultivate magic. I mean you could have just announced that you wanna learn magic and all grandmasters would be lining up for you." I shrugged.

"But I'm back now, right? Besides, I can be able to teach you about your powers and the Subdue Arrow." he smiled and poked my cheek.

"Yeah you're right." 

"And about Father's death...." He continued and trailed off as he broke into tears. 

"Yeah. It was an assassination." I replied indignantly.

"You mean...." 

"Yeah. But the weirdest is that, only the officials from our family died. Including mom. Other than them, the other subjects are perfectly fine. Not even a scratch." 

"The moment I went got there, the person already got away but I chased him and threw a poison dagger since the chase seemed futile. It's not like I could beat  him up if I caught him so I used a safer method."I added.

"He also made a kind of portal from thin air. It was full of dark smoke." I continued. 

"Wait did you say dark smoke?" he asked as his face seemed tense. 

"Yeah. What about it?" I was still confused with his sudden question.

He paced on the training ground for a while and finally snapped his finger. 

"I remember vividly. No wonder I felt weird when I heard it."

"It's from the other realm. I read it once but it was said to have been eradicated." He added.

"Don't bother your mind now. Let's train first." he forced a smile. He doesn't know I can see through him.

"Fire stance!" He ordered.

                 DAVIS

"Hey just listen to me. You can't go alone. It's really not safe on Earth you know. You nearly lost your life before. Who knows what you're going to lose next!" Zamiel fired.

"If you wanna go, then let me come to you. It's not safe out there anymore. Also as you said, the lady probably figured out your identity and would keep her guards up. What help are you doing to yourself by going back again" 

"You must think I'm foolish enough not to know the main reason you're panicking around like a mother,don't you?"

"You seriously think I'm not aware you're doing this just to follow me to see Earth's girls right? You pervert! All you know is to womanize!" 

Y"You'renot following me and that's final! Who knows. You might even lose your manhood in the middle of making out." I smirked.

"Maybe that's the truth. But I really don't wanna lose you bro."

"Alright stop the heartfelt condolences. Let's go to Master now." I shrugged my shoulder.

He created a portal that took us straight to our master's abode.

"Davis Sailors at your service!"

"Zamiel Sailors at your service!" 

"Alright alright. Enough with the formalities. Are you really taking on this mission again? If you're not well yet, we could just extend it till when you're perfectly fine or send Zamiel instead. That would give you enough time to recuperate and replenish your energy since it was drained. It would also conceal your identity." Master said and Zamiel slightly smirked.

"No Master. I'm willing to end it myself. I started it and I would surely finish it."

"Without anyone's help." I said as I looked at Zamiel with a cold expression.

"Okay okay. Just take as much time as you need to. And look after Zamiel. He's rash sometimes, hope you know?" He said sternly.

"Yes, Master." I bowed down and left. 

Zamiel is probably feeling like he won a gambling. He's such a pain in the neck.

"Hey. Make a portal." I ordered.

"And what do I look like? A maid?" Zamiel fired.

I stared at him blankly and he readjusted himself.

"Yes sir." He spat and created a portal out of dark magic instantly.

"Earth ladies, receive a new prince!" He muttered and smiled.

"Pervert." I cursed under my breath.
