The young man was quite handsome and his short blond hair and the arrogant air around left no room to doubt that he was of noble birth. He was wearing deep forest green robe with the sects crest in gold thread.

Aura took a glance around the crowds before looking back towards the young man.

“hello to you too prince Kaspian,” she said not bothering to hide the fact that she was clearly unhappy with his words from her voice.

“Arhh I can already feel a headache coming my way,” Aura thought.

“I must say, my dear Aura, it has become so very rare to see your lovely figure around these days, if I didn’t know better I would almost think you were hiding from me,” Kaspian said as he moved closer to her.

“why did I have to run into this stupid idiot here” Aura muttered to herself in a low voice before answering him in a clear and lovely voice.

“not at all prince, Kaspian I have merely been busy with my cultivations lately, after all not all of us have your talent”

“hahaha, so that is how it is. But dear you do know that you need only ask and I would gladly help you with anything I can, even that little habit of talking to yourself” he said back in a cheerful voice.

At first, the surrounding crowds have been excited to see not only the fourth-ranked beauty of the sect but also one of the nine princes, but after a few moments the more knowledgeable ones started to leave, it was after all well known to a great many disciples that these two people was not on friendly terms.

To become one of the nine princes of the sect one needed great strengths, after all in this world strengths was everything. But there are also many forms of strength, so the things needed to become a prince was roughly 3. One is personal strengths, as a cultivator, this is incredibly important. There is said to be strength in numbers so the second is leadership skills, to earn the title of prince one must have a strong following. And lastly is charisma, this is the least important one, but it still matters a great deal.

“no no I would feel bad about taking up any of your precious time, the kings know you could use some to do something about that look in your eyes,” Aura said, voice thick with scorn.

“hahaha is that so? But I doubt the kings would give me anymore than a quick death if I ever was to meet them. On the other hand, you my dear beautiful queen Aura. you could make me a king, that might just help me do something about these eyes of mine” Kaspian said every word almost dripping with venom.

“I have no doubt it would change something, but I am also sure that it would only make them, even more, disgusting. Furthermore, I believe I have already said that even if the kings themselves wanted it I would never become your Queen, so forget about ever getting the title of king my dear prince” her last words full of deep hate.

“your words hurt me my dear Aura but make no mistake. You will become mine! So you might as well just accept that and follow me to my bed, the sooner you accept your fate the sooner you will being to enjoy it.” He said no longer even trying to hide his real intention.

“I will never become yours nor will you even touch my body with your filthy hands” Aura resorted her face showing off her fury.

“if it was not for your title of a Queen I would have taken you years ago and you would right now be laying in my bed begging to be used by me! But that very same title shall also be what hands you to me! In two years at the great tournament I will rise in rank within the prices and when that happen by the sect rules you will become mine willing or not! So unless the kings themselves take pity on you I will become a king and you my queen!” he almost yelled at her.

Aura felt disgusted by his stupid grinning face and eyes who clearly showed he thought he had already won and was now only thinking on breaking her prideful self.

And she knew he was mostly right, in only two more years the great tournament would be held. This was only held once every ten years, and she knew that all the protected her from the less then kind members of the sect was the title of Queen. And of course also knew of the rule that would allow him to take her even if it was by force if she could not enter the top 100 or top 20 for the females.

“since you have left your home that must mean you finally broke through into the fourth realm, not bad not bad and knowing you I also guess you have mastered the fourth level of soul force as well, that’s not bad at all but it’s not good enough. And in the two years even with all the high ranked pill and elixirs you could use, you would at must enter the fifth realm so don’t even dream of getting into the ranked spots” he said with a smug grin on his face.

Aura gritted her teeth’s on hearing this as he had been mostly right, just missing the part that to even enter the fifth realm within two years she’ll also need a miracle.

Taking a deep breath and calming herself down a little she finally opened her mouth to speak again.

“it is as you say prince Kaspian, it would take much of me to even reach the fifth realm within two years as such I have little time to spare so I must really be going now,” she said as she prepared to leave.

“is that so, but it would be a shame to separate so soon. Why don’t I walk you there?” he said once again in his charming voice.

“no thank you prince Kaspian, I’m headed for the library. And I’m afraid I will be entering parts you can’t access with your title of prince” Aura replied clearly faking the regret in her voice and turned to leave.

“then I will have to just have to see you again some other time my dear queen Aura,” he said from behind her.

“indeed some other time then,” she said not even looking back as she once more headed towards her destination.
