Right now, we're walking down the road. All the bustling activities from earlier slowly calms down as stall owners closes their stalls, merchants prepares to depart, and the citizens going back to their respective homes.

The skies which is painted with orange feels so serene, couple it with the soft, calming, and soothing music being played by the street performers and bards, it builds up an enchanting, beautiful, and mesmerizing atmosphere.

"It's my first time in a while..." I muttered to myself.

"First time? what is?"

"Being able to experience a calm and healing atmosphere like this, away from all the noises and troubles..." a calm smile unknowingly formed in my face as I gazed into the setting sun.

Airi just stared at me while listening to my words, her blue eyes reflecting the sunlight as her blonde hair blended in with the orange color the sunset.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Nothing... it's good to have you back! From now on, let's gaze into the sunset as much as we want!"

"Yeah..."

"Shall we head back? to our home." she said to me as her illusionary form slowly disappears and she regains her former appearance.

"Let's go."

...

"Those two should be heading back by now." said Lily as she looked over to the direction of the town after training with her subordinates.

"If you're that worried about them, why don't you just go and check on those two?" said the first prince, Vincent as he walked over to Lily's squad.

"The hell do you want?"

"Nothing, just checking on someone who waits for her sibling to show off her swordskills so that they won't see her as an incompetent older sister, ahh! how pitiful!" said vincent with a teasing tone in his voice.

"Hah!? I could say the same to you, you useless siscon who only wants to be admired by his little sister!"

"The fuck did you just say!?"

As the two of them argued, the mana around them turned dense as sparks formed between them, signaling that a fight is about to break out.

"Hah, they're at it again, everyone! stand back if you don't want to die!!" A woman knight said to her peers.

Everyone immediately left the arena to watch from the spectator's seats.

"It looks like today's fight is also going to be great."

"Yeah, we're pretty lucky to be able to see the two strongest members of the Immortal blades fight each other almost on a daily basis."

"I know right? although we can't see them since their speed is out of this world.",

All the soldiers chattered to each other as the fight below was about to begin. However, a voice rang out from the gates.

"Onee-sama, Onii-sama!! What are you doing?"

The voice's owner was Airi who just returned from the walk with Lucas beside her.

"Oh? it's Ai-chan and Lucas-kun." said Lily as she immediately trotted to them.

"Greetings, Mr. Vincent and Ms. Lily." said Lucas.

"Ms? you don't have to be so formal, just Lily is fine, or you can also call me... Onee-chan!"

"Well then, what are you doing? Lily?"

"Eh? No good huh..." said Lily dejectedly.

"Hahaha, just ignore this idiot, Lucas-kun, anyways, I was just about to teach some idiot a lesson, do you want to watch?" said vincent as he approached them.

"Oh? a fight? I would like to watch then, I want to see how both of you fight at full power."

"It's been a while since I last saw Onii-sama and Onee-chan fight all-out, I also want to see who is stronger!" said Airi as her eyes sparkled with interest.

"Are they strong?" Lucas asked her.

"Of course! they're the strongest members of the Immortal blades. Vincent, the war king and Lily, the valkyrie." replied Airi proudly.

"Eh? Now I really wanna see how they fight."

"Both of you should watch from the spectator's seats, the fight is about to start now." Said Lily as she pointed to one of the seats.

"Yes."

Both of them went up and sat on one of the many vacant seats. The soldiers around them started murmuring to each other when they saw the two.

"Hey, is that the second princess and the rumored second prince? the failed heir?"

"I think so, he matches the features, so the possibility of him being the second prince is high."

"However, I heard someone talking about how he is good at fighting."

"Eh? no way, the failed prince is the cursed descendant of the Elune family, it is said that the Failed heir has a body weaker than the average person's, they even said that they have a short lifespan and that it's impossible for them to have any talent for anything."

"Is that so?"

All kinds of things were being talked about around them. However, the two paid them no attention as they just focused on the battle in front of them.

A huge blue spear materialized at vincent's hands as he swung it around. Lily unsheathed her long swored and it glimmered with a deadly light.

*Dong*

The bell rang, signaling the start of the fight.

Lily immediately charged at Vin with her sword at an extereme speed. Her sword was wraped in lightning as it struck Vin with lightning speed.

However, Vin managed to block it with his spear, and with a little movement, he managed to deflect it and convert from a defensive stance into an offensive one. He gave Lily a heavy strike aimed at her head.

Lily who has nimble movements dodged it easily and immediately gave a magic counter attack.

[Lightning blade!!]

A wave of lightning shot out from Lily's sword aimed for Vin's neck.

[Barrier!]

Vin managed to conjure a barrier just in time. It would've been deadly if he wasn't able to block it.

The fight continued as they exchanged attacks with each other, it was hard to tell who has the upperhand as both of them operates at the same level of speed and power.

[[Body enhancement, phase 4!]]

Both of them increased the level of their body enhancement to the max as their bodies disappeared from the eyes of many due to the extreme speeds. And just like this, the fight continued for 20 minutes. The arena is slowly crumbling due to the intense battle, you could tell that they really are going all out.

"Amazing!! so this is how the immortal blades fight using all of their power!"

"They're too fast that I can't track their movements with my eyes! this is a battle of monsters!"

"Even if I train my ass off for a hundred years, I'm afraid I won't even be able to reach half of their capabilities."

All kinds of commentary rang out from the audiences as they watched the fight.

"Onee-sama and Onii-sama are really strong... I wonder when will I be able to reach their level." said Airi as she watched them intensely.

*clang*

The sounds of blades clashing against each other rang out, and outbursts of mana is felt in the air.

"You're finished! [God Dance!]" said Lily as her moves changed into a dancing swordplay.

At first, Vin was able to parry her attacks, but at some point, he showed an opening in his waist and Lily saw that, she struck her blade into the opening, successfully defeating Vin.

""""Whoaaa!!!""""

All kinds of cheers rang out from the crowd the moment the battle ended.

"Hey! Did you just see that!?"

"That was the valkyrie's signature skill, God dance, wasn't it?"

"Kuhhh!! that was awesome!!"

"Even though prince Vin lost, his spear arts is still a sight to behold, if he didn't showed an opening in the end, he might've been able to defeat the princess instead. They really are the strongest!"

The soldiers continued to comment their opinions, discussing the battle with each other.

"How was it?" said Lily as she walked over to us, dragging along the dejected prince.

"It was so cool! Onee-sama and Onii-sama! I wasn't able to take my eyes off of the both of you!"

"Hahaha! is that so? you should watch us more often so that one day, you will also become strong, like us."

"So? Lucas-kun? how was it?"

"It was amazing, I wasn't able to track your movements with my eyes, especially when you went to phase 4, it's like both of you disappeared from the arena, and that final skill named God dance, your movements were so graceful that I was enthralled!" Said Lucas with great enthusiasm.

"I-is that so? hmm, i-if you have any problems in the future, just make sure to tell me, this big sister of your will solve it for you in the blink of an eye." Said Lily as she averted her eyes while blushing.

"Anyways, mom and dad might be waiting for us already, it's getting dark now, shall we head home?"

"Yes!"

...

As Airi and I walked back, we heard the sound of swords clashing against each other. I turned my head and saw a training arena.

"That's where Lily onee-sama and Vin onii-sama trains everyday, want to watch them?" asked Airi.

"Since we still have some time until the sun completely sets, why not?"

Both of us walked over, after entering, we saw the first prince and princess in the middle of the arena, they looked like they were arguing.

Airi who was beside me at that time called out to them and they instantly walked over to us. We greeted each other and had a little conversation. Based from what I heard, It looked like they were about to spar with each other, Both two who are the strongest of the group called Immortal blades. Since I was presented with the chance, I want to see how strong they are.

Airi and I walked to the seats and watched the fight.

The fight took about 30 minutes before it finished, ending with Lily's victory. Both of them walked over to us.

"So? Lucas-kun? how was it?" Lily asked me.

"It was amazing, I wasn't able to track your movements with my eyes, especially when you went to phase 4, it's like both of you disappeared from the arena, and that final skill named God dance, your movements were so graceful that I was enthralled!"

"I-is that so? hmm, i-if you have any problems in the future, just make sure to tell me, this big sister of your will solve it for you in the blink of an eye." Lily replied to me while blushing from embarassment.

Well of course, what I just said was....A lie.

"𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑦'𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑤... 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦'𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑜 𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑘! 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝐼 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ!?

Of course I can't say this to them out loud, so I just performed an act like I'm impressed by their fight. Other than the magic attacks and that dancing swordplay, nothing even catched my eyes. In other words...The fight was fucking boring!
