At your service, my lady The heroine is not her... right?
What... What is she doing here?..."Umm, how did you call me?""Master? Hey?"How?... Did she... Did she also die?..."I-Is this something he does frequently?""No... No, it isn´t"What the hell am I supposed to do now?... How am I supposed to save Verónica when that person is the heroine?..."Dominique... Dominique! Snap out of it!"Slap!"Woah! Wha- Whe- Huh?""Ah... Finally..."I suddenly returned to reality. My left cheek burned with pain as Jasmine was holding my arms with a worried expression. The person behind her was more confused than anything."H-Hey. Are you okay? You just zoomed out for a minute there"Her voice was the same as I remembered. Even her expression and the way she moves her hands and tilts her head. Except for the colors and the uniform... It was her..."Yhea... Yhea, I´m fine. I just... Got a little surprised... I thought you were someone I knew from a long time ago... But you´re not..."Yes. It doesn´t matter how similar they are. She can´t have died on a si
At your service, my lady Entrance ceremony
We managed to steal some seats from a group of students arriving late. We got some nasty glances from our surroundings, but nothing I wasn´t able to ignore."I guess we´re gonna need to get used to this, huh""Y-You might be right"I was able to hear some mean whispering from the students in the front rows. They were saying things like: "Demonic filth" "Usseless monsters" and so on...It was very awkward, and I wanted to have a couple of words with them. However, this was not the moment to be a delinquent. "Haaaaah... So fucking stupid..."Just as that thought escaped from my mind, the lights in the building focused on the person suddenly standing on the podium."Welcome, proud students of Xerxes. I have the honor to present to you the people who will be tutoring you on your path to greatness"It was an old woman. Around her late 50´s. She was covered in a snow-white dress with golden ornaments hagging from her hips and shoulders. She seemed extremely healthy despite her age, almost
At your service, my lady Prove your worth
For a moment I thought it was the student from the stables, it could have been better since the people standing now in front of us were already pulling out their weapons."I will only say this once. Leave our academy!"They were 5. A blonde guy with a shiny sword of gold seemed to be the leader. His shouts were so loud that a multitude of students surrounded us in no time.Some of them were openly supporting the blonde student. "Leave! You demons!" "Filthy commoners!" "You belong to the streets!"Whatever insult that may come to their minds was being spilled into our faces with the fervor of a million-prize winner.Stepping in front of Jasmine and Isabella I spoke to the student."Didn´t you hear the prince? We are also students from Xerxes, which means we can also ask for his help"My words touched a fiber. It was obvious considering the red now glowing from his face."Nonsense! I don´t know what trickery fooled the prince, but once he sees your true nature I´m going to be given the
At your service, my lady Where there is light
The people sitting around the humongous arena made of red bricks and black iron were shouting at us as if we were the most wanted criminals in this kingdom.And maybe in their eyes, we were."They seem rather expectant huh""No one is rooting for us""There´s Jasmine""She doesn´t count""Hahaha. Harsh""Hmph!"Isabella and I were standing at the east side of the contestant´s entrance. We were putting on the armor and weapons that we would use in the fight.We both chose to put on some light armor to protect our bodies over the thick coat that the school gave us as primal protection. Since we were more on the attacking side, using heavy armor seemed just unnecessary.After adding some protection for the chest, arms, and legs and we were almost set to go."I never thought you´d be using dual guns," I said looking at Isabella as she secured a belt with several magazines.On each side of her legs, there were empty cases where a couple of semi-automatic pistols were being loaded by the gi
At your service, my lady There is a shadow of hope
In the cabin was a giant torch, once it was ignited; the fight would start.Dominique and Isabella were discretely chatting between them, Opherio noticed this and scuffed at them while thinking to himself: "Useless".The irregulars smiled at each other, since they both were attracted to the human eye, the image was almost artistic. However, they were still irregulars, which turn the piece of art into a foul and obscene picture of monsters grinning at their execution.Opherion couldn´t wait anymore. Once the torch lightens, he will shove away every one to be the first one to cut into tiny bits the man who dared to challenge him despite his noble origins.A failure like them wouldn´t stand a chance against his water magic and swordsmanship. He has been appraised for being a talented user of both skills. A street fight like this was nothing but a method to ease his anger and hatred toward the errors of the world.Opherio looked at the torch. Siegfreid was pointing his palm at the empty o
At your service, my lady A deal with...
The capital was upside down because the rumblings of that cry for freedom still reverberated through the whole city.The figure of that young man who threw a fist at those that chose to ignore the cruel and horrible reality of the kingdom. The questions and thoughts that no one dared to express because of the fear that hanged their necks with the words of "justice" as the executioner.That and much more happened because of that young man who was now in the principal´s office receiving his fair prize."In the name of Xerxes, I make available your victory against the noble Dominus and guarantee your, and your companion´s place as noble students of this institution. Congratulations, Mister Dominique, Mistress Isabella"We exchanged a high five and received a medal for winning the first fight in the academy´s semester.The combat was settled with any of the parties agreeing on betting something apart from expelling, so there was no need for us to stay and negotiate anything with the lose
At your service, my lady Give me your word
At the president´s office, inside Nicholas´head.It was faint, but I can swear I saw it.At that moment, in the arena, when he rose his fist.The future. A glimpse of it.One where he ruled with many people at his side. And there was an army, an invincible army that would be the bastion against everything that could harm this kingdom.There would be irregulars and nobles fighting together as one. People would gather around them to congratulate them on their victories. And I would be at my home, with a beautiful wife and children with smiles on their faces. Living peacefully.And he would be there, on the throne, with his forces ready to strike down the enemies before him.History will talk about us from this moment onwards. I must make sure that the tales are worth listening to.That´s why you have to ascend, Dominique. Even higher than me.You will be the weapon I use to force my father into submitting the throne. I will show him your power. Your bravery and greed.And once you mar
At your service, my lady Determination
With heavy steps and a sad face. Isabella was walking through the halls as tears ran down her cheeks.There was a pain in her chest that was too embarrassing to show. It was because the only source of this nasty feeling was no one but her.She didn´t want to accept it. Not like this. Not with that woman.Luck was not on her side since the day she was born as a commoner with irregular magic. There were struggles in every corner of her life. Money, friends, love. All those things that people enjoy so much are things that seem just like distant dreams for her.Joining this academy was because her mother had begged her to try it. She had done so much for her, so refusing was not an option.With little hope to face any changes, Isabella accepted and signed up to be a student in the academy.
