Chapter 34. One fight
Emma was over ecstatic when the training dummy was thrown out of the training platform with one of her attacks. It was almost destroyed.
"That was good, my darling," Master Jin was sincerely praising the little witch that now was mastering a new technique he had taught her just a few days ago. She was learning very fast and he was very proud. Somehow he felt that her talents were too amazing to go unnoticed, and he wondered why she was kept hidden. Her family must have known.
"Then… Am I ready to fight someone, another person…?"
"That could…"
"No" The Duke's voice reached their ears. He was swamped that day with work, many reports had been pilled up on his desk but he still insisted on bringing his work there, close to her.
He was fine watching her fight the dummies as Master Jin was controlling them, and she wouldn't receive any damage but even with that, he looked so anxious seeing her face. Even more when she was extenuating

"Let's begin…" Gia had long waited for this precise moment, she wanted to show Liam that she was the only one worthy of his affections, not some weakling witch that can only rely on her beauty to achieve what she wanted.Then she prepared her sword and sent a fireball, a very low-level attack directed to Emma. She thought that only basic and beginner movements will do the trick to show how far away was Emma from her. To show her the difference between true skill and a lowly commoner.However, her remarks were true. Emma was nowhere near her level, after all, how could anyone dare to compare the daughter of a General who had been training all her life, with a sheltered daughter of a Count and granddaughter of a Duke that only had been reading books and just have a few days of learning to fight with magic.Emma had to dodge the attack with all her might, the move again and again at the tune of Gia's launches of fire. The red-haired girl was having fun looki
Conquering the Duke Chapter 36. Angry
For three days, Gia had guided Emma into an extenuating training, a very harsh and intense guide into the world of the dragons' martial arts. The Kingdom of Avalor was praised for their master in any kind of fighting technique and their war strategies. If someone was to seek any kind of guidance on those arts, they would seek a dragon expert.Emma thought that Gia would lower his standards and power on her teaching to not anger the Duke. However, Gia was in no way delicate or gentle. She was known for being especially harsh with the new recruits, and she would never break that principle.Even with the presence of the Duke and Master Jin, she will never change her methods and her character that much. Maybe she was a bit soft as the Duchess was a delicate witch with not that much power in her fragile body, but not enough to lower her standards. What would the world say if she didn't give the Duchess the best training? That only would bring shame to her family."Ag
Conquering the Duke Chapter 37. Master Jin's Proposal
"Are you nuts?!"The study of the Duke was in a state of war, the whole Kingdom could feel it, the King was warned and the citizens were trembling in their houses.Many clouds appeared in the sky and several claps of thunder shouted with a threat of a storm. That was what every dragon on the Capital and in the world knew as the terrible ire of a powerful and mighty dragon, not any dragon, but the kind that could be considered a God.However, this time was not one, but two of them. They were having a little discussion about a certain silver-haired woman with incredible golden eyes.Master Jin was praising her to the skies, even the weather was filled with warmth and a soft ambiance sending the Duke's property into a spiral of peace. The employees could feel it, even the people outside the property could sense it.The Duke was also cooperating with the said joyful time, he was happy to hear so many praises directed to his woman, the only one that cou

"Liam?"Emma was worried about his state, they had been in the exact same position for many minutes and she was starting to get numb in her legs. She was feeling a bit sore but she didn't want to move. He was resting his head on her shoulders while breathing her fragrance and trying to subside his pressure, his ire."I am sorry, are you alright, Emma?" He could feel her shaking legs and how she was getting uncomfortable and trying to restrain herself. However, he wanted to be selfish for a bit more and have her by his side, closer. Her fragrance and her warmth always helped him calm down and feel such a peace he never thought he could have, or maybe he had long forgotten."Yes, I am okay now," she used her magic to heal herself and finally breath a sigh of relief when she saw him lowering the bright and intense red of his eyes, "everything is perfect, are you okay?"Emma's eyes were showing indistinguishable concern, a few minutes ago, she felt him suppre

"Do you want to leave me?""Yes, I want to leave this place, it was not for me in the first place, this was a big mistake. Everything was a mistake.""Hahaha," Liam's handsome face was completely shattered with a crazy laugh. "hahaha!""Why are you laughing? This time I am serious and I will leave, you can't stop me," Emma said without a hint of emotion on her face, her voice was even indifferent and not a single remorse was conveyed in her words. Her big golden eyes didn't seem to feel any shame nor guilt from shattering the hopes the handsome man was still harboring."I am laughing at you, for daring to think you can leave me," his voice echoed with a dangerous aura. The air was burning and the pressure emitting from his body could make anyone lose their floor.He walked over to her and tried to grab her hand but a circle of intense light appeared behind her. It was such an unexpected move that he couldn't do anything to prevent it, the power fro

The footsteps of a handsome man echoed under the cover of the night, he was walking with careful steps to the bed of a beautiful sleeping woman. She looked so peaceful but at the same time, a bit tired with dark circles under her eyes.Liam knew she had been putting a lot of effort into her training. He also knew that she hadn't answered Master Jin yet. He was happy about that but at the same time not, if she hadn't said that she won't go, then is because she is still considering it."Emma…" he whispered and caressed her soft cheek before turning away to go outside. He wanted to cool off his feelings for some time. They were getting out of control and he was afraid of hurting her again."Liam…" she whispered before he could take a step out. "Liam, don't go."She was awake, she had felt him coming inside the room as she was always waiting for him."Liam?""I need to go, I am sorry," he didn't move back but she was growing desper
Conquering the Duke Chapter 41. Uncomfortable Silence
Another week had passed and Emma hadn't seen even the shadow of the Duke, only the words from Jano were her only comfort.He was still very busy with the preparations for the tournament and the guard patrols on the frontiers. The access points to the territory and Capital were his duty to protect after all. It was truly fortunate for him that the hectic tasks of the tournament were keeping his thoughts busy from the figure of a certain beautiful and silver-haired woman."Emma, won't you like to go outside to eat?""Is that alright, Master?""Yes, of course, you don't have to worry about anything with me by your side.""Okay."Emma's mood was growing sadder with each day that passed. She tried to keep her mind busy with the training but her thoughts quickly jumped to the sweet smile of a Duke, a Duke that had forgotten to visit her or share time with her anymore.She wanted to see him and she tried several times but she was denied entr

"Brother Liam, won't you accompany us to the Sky Restaurant in the Capital?""Yes, come on Liam, there would be a gathering with the ones from the South, I think even Ilian had come this time."Liam was very busy but more than anything he was anxious. He knew that she was going to participate in the tournament and so he wanted everything to go perfect, the security had to be top-notch and the performances and shows should be good enough so that she would feel comfortable and relaxed.In fact, he could leave that job to his close assistants, even Jano, but he wanted to watch over everything. There can't be any mistake."Please, brother," Gia had stopped going to the Mansion on the Mountain as she had to train herself too, but she didn't mind at all as she heard that Liam had stopped going too. She was the happiest when she heard about the rumors. 'Then everything is over now,' she thought.Liam didn't want to meddle with some insignificant people to
