Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Chapter 56

I don't want to make trouble, especially since I am a representative of the Beifang kingdom. I just looked from head to toe at the woman who was also smiling in the direction.

Then it hit me. I suddenly remembered where I first saw this woman. Her name is Hailey and she was my nightmare when I was still studying at Maxica. He was one of my classmates then and he always took the lead in belittling me.

The grand ball started and I tried to ignore Hailey who still didn't stop listening. Bauxacel's grand ball is different from Beifang's brand ball. If the grand ball of Beifang is full of dancing and classical music. Here in Bauxacel, there are various performances. There were singers, painting, music playing and whatnot but the most anticipated of all was the after performances.

When the performance is over, the food will be served, but at the same time, anyone who wants and has talent in any field of art can perform in the middle. Many are excited about this part of the grand balls of Bauxacel because through it they can be recognized and become famous if their performance is good and if they are lucky. I have no plans to join and perform but I can't help but feel embarrassed because almost all of the women who are performing just glance at Trevas who is just eating food next to me.

"You have so many admirers" I said before leaning back in my chair. Trevas turned to eat, still chewing on what he was eating.

Trevas looked around, so the women who had been staring at him were distracted. I was even more irritated and it seemed like I just wanted to take Trevas away so that these naughty women would no longer stare at him.

"Is that jealous?" Trevas asked before turning his attention back to the food as if he just didn't have the other woman staring at him before.

Instead of answering, I just stared. Maybe he was happy inside him because so many women lusted after him.

"Hey" Trevas called me when I didn't answer him. I still did not speak to him but I suddenly turned to him when he took my hand resting on my thighs.

“You don't have to be jealous. They are too ugly for you to be jealous of ”

I raised an eyebrow before I couldn't help but laugh. Obviously, he's just saying that so that I won't be jealous because apart from so many women here who are more beautiful and sexier than me, there are also many women who are more elegant and more young lady who act just like Lady Mara.

Now that I thnk about her. I don't think I've seen Lady Mara today. I looked around and tried to find Lady Mara but before I could see her my attention was distracted when people applauded because it looked like a noble lady who played the violin had finished performing.

I saw Hailey stand up and walk to the front, probably to perform but I couldn’t help but feel bad when she suddenly smiled at me.

“I am lady Hailey Haviour, and I want to have a combat duel with Princess Alissa of the first rank”

Suddenly, the people whispered again because of what Hailey said.

Apart from the performance of art, there can also be a duet in song, dance, painting but the most rare is the combat duel because apart from the possible damaging equipment in the palace during the duel, the two fighters can also kill each other if they do not caution.

Instead of being scared I suddenly smiled, Hailey didn’t know what I could do anymore.

"There's no way a combat duel is happening between you two" against the king before I could answer Hailey's challenge. "This ceremony was held for the alliance between the three kingdoms and now you want to fight with the representative of Beifang?"

"Apologies your majesty, I just want to know how strong Princess Alissa's power is for her to be the representative of Beifang" Hailey calmly replied. It was as if he was not talking to a king.

I frowned, why was Hailey so brave to argue with the king?

"Prime Minister Haviour, why don't you try to discipline your son?" Oh that’s right. Hailey is the daughter of the prime minister of Bauxacel and you would not want to fight the Haviour family because of the extent of its power. That's why Hailey is so brave because her family didn't just support her.

“What’s the matter your majesty? This is just a performance and Hailey just wants to show everyone how good Princess Alissa is. ”I was stunned by what Hailey's father said. They will be fathers.

"This is not the occasion to have a duel prime minister" replied king hermes but prime minister Haviour still did not budge. “Why don’t we ask for princess Alissa’s opinion instead?”

Everyone's eyes turned to me but before I could answer Hailey preceded me. “I’m sure Princess Alissa will agree. She’s a princess from Beifang and Beifang does not deserve to be an alliance of Bauxacel if the representative they sent is cowardly ”

This time, I can no longer refuse. Because Hailey would say others would think I was a coward if I didn’t agree to the duel and could damage Beifang’s reputation if that happened. I also had no intention of refusing so I just calmly smiled.

"What do you think?" I asked Trevas who just kept eating. He turned to me before whispering in my ear.

"If you beat him, I'm yours"

"So you're not mine yet?"

Trevas just shrugged before sneering at me. "Go fight her, I'm sure you'll win"

I smiled before turning my attention to Hailey and it was only then that I realized that Trevas and I were all looking at each other. My face blushed a little because I was sure they could see Trevas and I whispering but I couldn't help but rejoice when I saw Hailey's irritated face.

"Alright, Let's do the duel" I said before walking to the middle of the palace hall where Hailey was standing.

King heremes sighed before leaning back in his seat. There was nothing she could do because apart from agreeing that I, Hailey and her father didn't seem to stop.

"Why are you doing this really?" I asked when I could get closer to Hailey.

"I just can't wait to watch the garbage like you next to his highness prince Trevas" my eyes suddenly narrowed at what he said. So I’ts Trevas.

I briefly turned to Trevas who was now seriously looking in our direction, looking forward to what would happen next.

"Your courage to be distracted while fighting me" I suddenly turned my attention to Hailey when I heard her cry. He was just a few steps away from me and was about to punch me with his right fist surrounded by the strong force of the wind.

I immediately crossed my fist in front of me so instead of hitting my face, his punch hit my hand. As soon as his fist touched me, I suddenly teleported behind him and hit him hard, causing him to fall to the floor. The floor cracked due to the force of his impact and he screamed in pain.

I hope the palace won't charge me to fix the floor.

"Did she just teleport?"

"That's impossible"

"He beat Hailey right away?"

I recoiled when Hailey tried to kick me so she had a chance to slowly get up on me.

"Lucky you" he said before gathering the air magic in his two palms again and from there the mala ipo ipong air flowed in my direction.

Hailey is a level 5 air user. He is not the strongest but compared to our peers it is a great achievement to reach that level and everyone will look up to you. Unfortunately, I was his opponent.

I stretched out my hand and pointed it at the approaching gusty wind that came from Hailey and instead of that wind surrounding me it split in two before finally disappearing.

"H-how?"

I took the opportunity to startle Hailey and quickly ran towards her and without saying a word punched her in the stomach. Hailey sprang up because of the force of my blow but before she could fall to the floor I stretched out my two hands in her direction and from there a wave of water flowed which quickly swept her to the wall of the palace hall.

As soon as Hailey hit the wall, the water that flowed into her disappeared, so she immediately fell to the floor.

"I can't…" Hailey whispered before trying to stand up even though her arms were shaking. “How could I lose to level 2 water use-”

Hailey suddenly fell silent and looked at me in shock as I pointed a piercing ice that I had created at her neck.

"You're an ice user?" Hailey's arms were shaking but she was shaking even more when I looked at her seriously and I brought the ice spear closer to her neck.

Not only was Hailey surprised at what I did but everyone here today. I can’t really blame them, Ice is one of the rarest and only Psyche is recorded in history to have had ice magic.

“How did you become an Ice user?” Hailey asked, still not taking the bad look away from me.

“Isn’t Psyche the only one with ice power? And he didn't show up again a few years ago ”I suddenly turned to the speaker and frowned.

Didn't the people of Bauxacel know that Psyche was here?

"The winner of this duel is princess alissa of the first rank" the gossip of the people was interrupted when the king spoke. “You can now retrieve your weapon princess Alissa”

I nodded before the ice spear I was holding disappeared. I turned my back on Hailey and walked back to my seat next to Trevas who was smiling at me. I smiled back at him but suddenly his smile faded and fear enveloped his eyes.

“Alissa! Behind you ”he shouted so I looked behind me and I was shocked to see the coming whirlwind coming from Hailey.
