Chapter 212 -220

Chapter 221 –

For some reason, the look in Leon’s eyes made Evie smile to herself. It was obvious to her that Leon wanted her to just let Zanya join them without the need to show off her skills. And Evie knew it was not due to Leon being afraid. It was just that he was extremely reluctant, and Evie found him quite adorable at the moment. Even though his expression did not show anything at all, Evie could tell from the extra stiff set of his shoulders and how he was standing so still where he was.

“I believe this is for the best, too.” Zolan suddenly spoke up. “It’s best for us to know what she is capable of. That would be good for us to know when and how to aid and protect her once we’re outside of the Middle Land. So go ahead Leon.” All the other men agreed. After all, they all knew just how dangerous the next part of this journey they were going to embark on.

They still have the princess to protect so having a powerless fae tagging along with them would be another extra person they need to look out for. She would be as good as a human after all without her magic. It was not that they were selfish in not wanting to protect another person, or that they were thinking that she was an additional burden. It was just that they were very clear on their responsibilities where the safety and well-being of the princess was always to be their main and utmost priority. That was what their prince had entrusted to them, and they knew how much Prince Gavriel loves the princess. Therefore, if another person were to tag along and end up being the one factor to cause them to slack on their protection of the princess because they need to split their attention, then it would be better off that the fae did not follow them at all.

When Leon looked over at Evie again, she just nodded and smiled at him. Thus, the man understood the princess’ stand on it and reluctantly stood up. He then gave a little bow to Zanya before swinging his arms towards the main doors in a gesture for her to precede him in walking out to commence their sparring.

They then headed out of the castle where Leon and Zanya stood, facing each other in the middle of a spacious and dark courtyard while Evie and the other vampires stood at the front of the castle’s door. All of them were somewhat excited to see what Zanya was capable of doing when facing an opponent such as Leon without the use of any magic whatsoever. The question that was on all their minds were could she even run from Leon, much less respond with an attack.

Zanya started to block off her magic until it was completely sealed from her own usage. White lights began to gather around her body as she stretched her arms out before her as she slowly closed her eyes.
