The Queen Of The World - Ep.6
They started a normal conversation and sometimes Don would try to show off. Leena was naive and didn't think much of this but Niel realized. Interrupting the conversation, he said that it was time to get going. Don was very dissatisfied with this and so was Leena. Leena knew she had to go but requested something from Niel. She wanted to see him fight against someone to know why the queen always said he was a terrible fighter. Niel didn't want to but is unable to decline. He accepted and quickly made an announcement if anyone wanted to spar with him. Nobody dared to as they stood no chance. Don thought differently and accepted it.
Everyone was astonished at Don's decision but knew that he couldn't win without the use of magic. Niel and Don greeted each other and went into a fighting stance. Don who was relentless made the first move attacking him straight on with his blade. Niel knew that Don was impatient and dodged it easily. Niel was waiting for the opportunity of when Don lost all control. They kept on spariing, crossing swords multiple times. Everyone knew that Niel would win without the use of magic but Don was super frustrated and activated magic attacking Niel head on. Niel was surprised and tried to dodge but the use of magic on the sword makes it a different style than normal swordplay. Niel flew backwards with 15 meters back landing beside the bench Leena was sitting. Don was about to go for another hit when Niel was weak to show off but Leena stopped him.
¨STOP¨, Leena yelled.
Don suddenly stopped in his tracks retracting his sword.
¨Are you okay Niel?¨
¨Yeah cough I'm fine. Just a little cut¨
¨A little cut, yeah right¨
As they were talking, Don called the healers so he wouldn't lose face in front of the princess.
¨Are you feeling better now¨
¨Yes yes stop questioning me like a investigator¨
¨You STILL have the time to joke around right now? Guards please take him to my…? his….? our room please.��
¨Yes¨ responded the guards.
After the healers and guards left with Neil, Leena made way to Don making sure he was alright as well. Don apologized to the princess saying that in the moment, he forgot Niel couldn't use magic and was too fired up. Leena was confused about Niel unable to use magic. Don explained that no one except the queen and her children knew why he couldn't. Niel himself doesn't know as they have kept it a secret from everyone. This made Leena realize that if Niel comes across danger while trying to protect her, he would face his death. She wanted to protect Niel at all costs and was curious if she could use magic. Thanking all the guards, she went back to her room seeing Niel sleeping. She also promised Don that she will try to drop by again.
