The light elf sighed, she did not like that the girl opposite spoke to her like that. She wanted to drive them away but she was afraid that they were telling the truth and she could only check this with her personal runestone. It served not only for communication between different interlocutors, but also had the ability to store information that stufons or professors of the academy put into it.
Picking up a rune stone and seeing how many names shimmer on it, she completely forgot to answer her relatives, she saw how strongly the letters of her father Neg'im and her mother Anli'im shimmered, the elf who met Keirin and Cassandra was called No'im. No`im wanted to read the message of her relatives but she had a reason why she took the rune stone, with quick movements of her fingers, she found information about the duel "Ranking duel between stufon Tray and stufon Kassandra and Samantha". Not noticing how disbelief is displayed in her eyes and her eyebrows rise up.
No'im started to watch the rest of the records where it was written that Trey confronted two princesses alone and that this duel was personally watched by the matriarch and the queen of dark and light elves. The fact that Trey demonstrated the possession of long-lost magic of darkness and the fact that he defeated both princesses and by agreement they both became his wives.
No'im looked up at the girls in front of her and looked down. Compared to those depicted in the runestone, he could not convey an accurate image at such a distance from which everything was captured.
But they were not paying attention to the girls in front of her, one of which already showed patience at the end. No'im wanted to know the reason why the light elf princess had made or accepted such a strange challenge.
Having read up to the place where it was written what each of the parties put and having read what a light elf would receive, she could not help but shudder from the realization that she was communicating with two princesses of two races so disrespectfully.
- I apologize for the inappropriate behavior and doubts I have demonstrated to you princesses. - No'im stammered and nervously, bowing to the two girls opposite. She, as a simple elf, had no right to behave this way with those who were heirs to the throne.
The girls who watched the light elf's sudden change in behavior could only try to calm her down.
- Don't worry, we are no longer princesses or heirs to the thrones of our kingdoms and empires. - Trying to speak in a soothing tone Keirin watching how nervous the light elf is at her every word.
But im listening to Keirin's words, she expected to be threatened with the most terrible things, but instead, their former princess behaved respectfully towards her and did not try to demonstrate that they were unhappy with the behavior that she had previously shown them.
- Now, can you take us to Stuffon Tray? - asked Cassandra she tried not to show her displeasure at the poor elf so she trusted Keirin.
No'im shuddered when she remembered that it was not common for a dark elf to hold back her emotions for long.
- I can take you to him, but the last time I saw him, he was unconscious. - No'im said in a calmer voice, trying not to be nervous, she led the two girls to Trey's room.
Cassandra, having heard the words of the light elf, looked at her carefully, not understanding that she was putting in that she saw him.
- Have you been watching him? Keirin asked, watching as a dangerous light flashed in Cassandra's eyes.
No`im didn't know that with careless words she almost provoked Cassandra by continuing to walk along the corridor, which was empty at that time.
- Yes, they brought it when I was at the same place where I met you. - No`im confirmed, feeling behind her back how the magic was going to, she hurried to add.
- He was brought by two stufons, he was unconscious and, according to them, he suffered after a training battle with Professor Ni'lim. - Supplemented her No`im words previously spoken by her and quickened her step.
Keirin listening to No'im's words, nodding, she could imagine the state he was in then.
- What injuries did he get? Keirin asked, unlike Cassandra who didn't know Professor Ni'lim, she could imagine what Trey's injuries were.
No'im thought about all the injuries she had recorded on Trey's body.
- Fracture of the hands with multiple displacements, fractures of the arms in different parts of the arms from the hand to the shoulder, severe bruising of the chest and bruising of the spine and concussions. - She finished remembering all Trey's fractures to No'im, she did not know why Keirin needed this information, but deciding not to hide it, she told everything.
Listening to the light elf, Keirin counted Professor Ni'lim's five hits, as she remembered Professor Ni'lim never landed more than four hits. Cassandra, listening to the conversation of two light elves, could not help but shudder imagining what Trey went through in that training battle.
- I counted five hits, but Professor Ni'lim only uses four. Keirin commented thoughtfully.
Hearing Keirin's words, the light elf nodded at Keirin's remark.
- According to the stufons, Professor Ni'lim hit his head on the floor and caused a concussion, but this is not the strangest thing. No'im said as she approached the room where Trey was resting.
Keirin, stopped listening to the light elf's words, Trey got five hits and it began to disturb her.
- According to the same stufons, He got up after some time and tried to attack Professor Ni'lim and then lost consciousness. No'im said thoughtfully as she approached the door leading to the room where Trey lay.
If before that, the words of the light elf coincided with the experience that Keirin experienced, then the fifth blow and the attempt to strike after losing consciousness was something that she had not yet encountered during her studies at the academy.
- Stufon Trey rests in this room. No'im said as she opened the door for the princesses.
Entering the room, the girls felt a powerful accumulation of mana in the room, not understanding anything. No`im began to look for how to turn on the magic lamps. Feeling the switch with her hand, she pressed it, the room immediately began to be illuminated, but the shadows near the bed became visible to the eyes of the girls.
But Im feeling threatened by these shadows, she tried to move as slowly as possible and return to the girls who stood in the doorway looking at the shadows.
- What it is? No'im whispered in surprise.
The girls watched as the shadows began to take on figures, four creatures appeared before them, one was an orc holding something in his hands, an elf who held a staff in his hand, an elf holding a sword and the most terrible was the fourth figure instead of two eyes the creature had four eyes and in four hands it held various weapons.
Keirin and Cassandra didn't answer the light elf's question as they both had different emotions and memories when they saw those shadows.
Cassandra remembered how she gave the book with this technique and how Trey was preparing to duel against Cassandra and Samantha. Cassandra remembered how in the third test she first saw three figures and how she was haunted by the feeling that an elf with a staff was watching her when they fought against Trey, she could feel their power on herself and she was frightened that they were now standing uncontrolled by Trey.
- Do not make sudden movements and try not to look at them. - Keirin said in a stern voice, for the first time she saw that the spell itself activated while the magician was unconscious.
No'im nodded to her, she could feel the gazes of these beings moving over her, preparing to act at the slightest threat from her.
- It's Trey's spell, but I don't know how it got active so stay calm and don't make any sudden moves. Keirin said taking slow steps towards Trey's bed.
Hearing Keirin's words, the girls became even more nervous, and seeing Keirin taking slow steps towards the shadows, they became alarmed for Keirin.
- Where are you going Keirin? Cassandra asked in surprise as Keirin slowly approached Trey's bed under the gaze of the shadows.
No'im tried to move as little as possible, she saw Keirin slowly walking towards Trey's bed and, anticipating the worst, began to prepare spells.
- I am Trey's servant and the imprint of his magic flows in me, they feel like a spell that I am not their enemy. - Keirin said in a calm voice, trying not to show how scared she was, she took slow steps towards the bed.
Cassandra understood what Keirin meant, unlike her, she could approach the shadows did not look at Keirin, who was already near the shadows. One could see how the shadow of the orc covering the bed began to move away, on it one could see Trey, who was still lying unconscious.
- You can be free, I'll look after him. - Keirin turned to the shadows, she did not know if the shadows would understand her, but in confirmation they began to disappear.
Cassandra and the light elf sighed in relief, this oppressive atmosphere emanating from the shadows was not pleasant.
- Who is watching him? - Keirin asked while examining Trey.
But when they heard the question, they began to blush, it was noticeable how nervous she was. Cassandra began to lose her patience for today, she had every reason not to wait until the elf overcome her emotions.
- What is your name? - Angrily asked Cassandra looking at the light elf.
No'im turned her head to Cassandra and saw that the dark elf was very annoyed.
- My name is No`im and I am watching stufon Tray. No'im said, trying not to stutter as she looked from Cassandra to Keirin.
Keirin, tried to remember a family with such a surname, but as she expected, the light elf was not of a noble family.
- Okay, but we'll stay here if you need anything, we'll call you. Keirin spoke in a calm voice.
Approaching the table, Keirin looked at the two chairs and carried them closer to the bed.
No'im, who was watching this, bowed and tried to leave the room as quickly as possible. Leaving the room, No'im could feel both her hands and her heart beating very fast. During the whole time of training, she did not have such activity as in the last few hours after Trey's stufon was received.
Convinced that No'im was gone, Cassandra walked over to the bed and looked at Trey.
She could see how badly he had suffered in this mock fight and anger began to rise up in the depths of her feelings.
Keirin silently observed Cassandra's behavior, she could tell that, like the dark elf, she harbored anger towards the professor who brought Trey to such a state.
- This is just the beginning. Keirin said while looking at Trey.
Cassandra turned and looked at Keirin without understanding what she meant.
Seeing the dark elf's gaze, Keirin could only sigh.
- What you see in front of you is only the beginning of his journey. Keirin said in a calm voice, looking at the dark elf.
- How to understand your words? You think further will also be he will lie unconscious. - Kassandra asked incomprehensibly, looking from Trey to Keirin.
Keirin shook her head and began to remember how she met Trey and after that her life took on more chaos than she could ever imagine.
- He will often find himself in difficult situations, walking on the edge if it is more convenient for you to understand. He will have many enemies, the fact that he has already encountered you princesses have already changed the world, but we still do not know in which direction. Keirin said in a thoughtful voice while looking at the bed.
Cassandra tried to understand what Keirin was leading to, but she couldn't seem to grasp the meaning of her words.
- You don't seem to understand, Trey will attract different situations to him, dangerous ones, even he doesn't know what can happen to him. And you want to voluntarily link your fate with him. Keirin spoke in a sad voice explaining her words.
Cassandra understood what she meant. If something happens to him, she will be left alone and she agrees with the words that he attracts unnecessary risks.
- But what about you? - I decided to ask a question that tormented Cassandra
Keirin looked at Cassandra without understanding and smiled at her question, how to explain that she and Trey are similar?
- I am his servant and will be by his side until my life or his is cut short. Keirin spoke in a calm voice.
Cassandra wanted to say and she would be with him overcoming all difficulties, but she could not say it out loud.
- So think Cassandra, do you need a life with a constant risk of losing your husband or do you want a quiet life, with Trey you will not see peace. Keirin said with a slight laugh.
Cassandra nodded at Keirin's words, but she had already decided what she would do next for herself.
- How long do you think he'll come to? - Cassandra asked looking at Trey.
Keirin carefully looked at how Trey was breathing, the color of his hands and cheeks, and came to the conclusion that in the near future.
- Soon he will come to his senses, but I think he will experience some pain. Keirin spoke in response to Cassandra's question.
