Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Bored
"Why didn’t you tell him his village was attacked?" Victoria asked Evelyn.
Evelyn stopped before chuckling, "I actually forgot"
"You forgot; I thought you had a good reason for not telling him, but you just forgot," Victoria scoffed as she walked past her.
"It won’t matter if we tell him or not; he can’t do anything about it, but we can; we’ll head back to the academy and then head to his village," Evelyn said.
"What if we do find them? Do we fight to kill or bring them in?" Victoria spoke.
"I’m sure we’re stronger than them, but I don’t think they’re weak enough that we’ll be able to kill them, and besides, what even is their goal?" Evelyn spoke as they arrived at the carriage, taking them back to the academy.
"I’ve also wondered why they haven’t attacked Avalon before. I think they’re afraid, but they have no set purpose," Victoria spoke.
"Five powerful mages with no purpose moving as a group, we’ll have to figure out their objectives and act accordingly"
"So how would we get to the village, with a carriage, or do we take the shortest route?" Victoria asked.
"Then we should make it one of our challenges, first to arrive at Elmstead wins," Evelyn said with a smile on Victoria smirked.

The palace was even more boring than the village; the three of them were stuck in a room with nothing to do. The maids took the meals after they were done, and that was it.
In the village, at least Roman could visit different people in the village, mainly to sleep with them, but it was still something; even Amelia was bored, but Anya was still playing in front of the mirror.
"I’m going to look around the palace; I’m sure no one would be against it," Roman spoke as he stood up from the bed.
The door opened, and both of the maids were in front; they bowed their heads as Roman stood in front of them.
"Can you show me around the palace?" Roman asked and immediately the first maid answered almost immediately before the other one could.
"Alright then, let’s go," Roman said, and the maid began walking.
To her, Roman wasn’t a Noble or Royalty; he was a commoner, which means she could speak to him comfortably; she was going to try to talk to him when they began walking around the palace.
The maid led him the exact same way he came in, and soon they were at the door that led outside the palace. It was opened by the maids in front of it as they saw Roman.
All the maids in the palace who saw Roman couldn’t help but stare at him; he was a dream to come across; he was definitely the most handsome male they had seen; even some of the Royal Guards were staring at him, but no one could tell under the helmet.
As the door opened, Selene saw Roman and the maid and quickly walked towards them.
"Are you heading somewhere?" She asked.
"No, I asked her to show me around the palace; I’m bored and have nothing to do," Roman replied before a thought came to his head, and he chuckled.
Since Selene was part of the Royal Knights, then, she would be powerful; Roman thought of the stats he could get for sleeping with her, but he quickly forgot it because it would be a little impossible currently.
Selene moved back to her spot as the maid began showing Roman around the palace; he could tell she was excited, and a smile was on her face as she walked forward.
Roman followed the maid outside the palace, stepping into the courtyard, now Roman knew which was the current Queen.
The sun was covered as usual but the air was fresh with the scent of flowers from the garden.
The maid led him along a stone path that curved through the open grounds.
"This is the eastern courtyard," the maid explained as they walked. "It’s one of the largest open areas in the palace grounds. It’s often used for events or ceremonies that require open area"
Roman looked around, impressed by the lush greenery and the colors of the flowers that lined the path. The palace grounds were just beautiful; the plants and flowers were lined up in beautiful patterns and across the paths.
They continued down the path, passing a few other smaller buildings that seemed to house storage and servants’ quarters. The maid pointed out various gardens, which Roman took time to observe while the maid stared at him the whole time; she couldn’t believe she was this close to him.
Roman turned his head and she quickly faced away and continued.
"This area," the maid said, stopping by a small archway, "is where the royal knights train. It’s kept separate from the palace itself, so there’s less distraction."
Roman had reached the back of the palace, he was so absorbed he had no idea.
They stepped through the archway into a large training field.
The area was lined with wooden training dummies and targets. Roman could see several royal knights sparring with swords, their movements precise and controlled, and this time, they weren’t wearing armor.
But in the middle of the training ground, one figure stood out among the rest; she was smaller compared to the rest of them, and one thing was different: her hair was longer, and her build was different.
All the other females had short hair and a kind of muscular build, but she was different, and she was also sparring alone.
"That’s Princess Aurelia," the maid said, gesturing toward her.
"She trains here every day. Even though she’s royalty, she never takes her skills for granted and I think she is planning to attend the magic academy"
Roman watched her for a moment, noticing how focused she was. The sounds of her sword striking the air filled the open space, and for a brief moment, he found himself captivated by her swordplay till a thought came to his head, and at that moment, he knew his chances of being in the academy were slim.
