Chapter 32: Training the chosen.

[Bellatrix:]
Four days....
Vas was not kidding when he said I am the chosen one. I look down at the sword in my hands, a sense of responsibility engulfing me. It is one thing to find out that I am a Lycan's mate after hating on them my entire life. It is also one thing to find out I am the lost Fae Princess, in literal meaning, my whole life has been a lie. But you know what is more scary?, it is finding out that not only am I supposed to save my family from the grasp of the dark fae, but I am also supposed to save the Fae Kingdom world alongside my mate who is supposed to be the real Alpha King of Lycans making me the Luna Queen as well as the Fae Queen. My life is totally messed up.
"Does he know, though?" I ask Vassily, the one question that has been on my mind since the past four days, "does he know that he is the rightful heir to the Lycan throne? I mean isn't thete supposed to be an hierachy to follow?"
I swing my sword again. "You should be less concerned about that, little one..." He is y mate, I should be concerned. Vassily continues, "although I am sure his guardian would have said something about it"
"His guardian? Is there supposed to be a special meaning to that?"
Vas chuckles as he comes up behind me. "Whenever you handle a sword, at the moment you are wielding it, it is not just a weapon.. It is a part of you, so..." He grabs hold of my hands steadying it and then together we swish the sword again. Once, twice. "Like that..." He adds and then steps away from his initial posirion behind me.
"And yes, the guardian has a special meaning.. The chosen ones all get a guardian to guide them into their called paths..." He continues.
Nodding in understanding, I say; "Hera is his guardian then? And you are my guardian?"
"Smart of you to note that.. Now shall we continue our session?"
"That would not be necessary Elder Vassily, because as of now Lord Michal as stated that I be the one to continue the Princess' training from now on"
I am surprised at Tian's sudden appearance, but what am I more surprised about is what he has just spoken. "What do you mean, Tee?"
"Exactly what I just said. Elder Vassily shall no longer train you"
"I heard you the first time! but what I do not understand is why? What about my Magic? Who will teach how to harness it"
"I can do all that Your Highness, trust me"
I roll my eyes in disbelief. "Trust you? Of all people? And fucking hell, what the hell do you even know?!"
A smirk curls up his face as he replies me, "are you seriously asking me that?"
"It's okay kids... You can carry on with the training Tian, I will go see Lord Michael myself" Vassily says, cutting into our argument.
"I do not think that would be necessary, for his majesty has already made up his mind and once he has, there is no changing of it."
"That'd be for him to decide, don't you think" I bite out in annoyance. Why would Michael just decide to let Vas stop training me? It did not make any sense and why can't I wrap my head around it. He did not even inform either of us beforehand.
"Tian is right Little one, I am sure you will have more fun with someone your age then with an old heart like me" Vas says, a sad smile hanging on his lips as he speaks.
"But Vas...."
Vassily steps into my space and raises his hands to pat my hair. "Even if I would not train you, I am always here if you need me, okay?" I nod. "Good, now I will take my leave" I watch as he walks away and I cannot help the nagging feeling in my chest that this is not a good sign.

King Kev stares at the light Fae standing before him. He smirks, "you are here" he says, the man nods.
"I am" Kev raises his chin, silently studying him for absolutely no reason, "you called for me".
"I knew she was back on Astrid even before you told me, what you are not telling me is the fact that she is allegedly coming to war with my kingdom"
The light fae gaps at kev's knowledge of this.. "How do you know that?"
"Have I not told you before? I have ears and eyes at L'agaib, so if you think you can try to fucking play me, then you're gonna have to do your thinking again"
The light Fae gulps visibly, it is no news that he is scared of the man staring down at him from the seated position, who in his right sense would not be scared of the Dark Fae King Starkev, and his fearing Starkev, he hates with passion. "I am sorry I did not tell you earlier.. I was waiting for the right time"
"The right time huh?" Kev chuckles darkly, "and pray tell me dear friend, when would have been the right time?"
The man stays silent. "That's what I thought" Kev haugtily remarks. "now you may take your leave and I better not hear from others the next time, before I hear from you"
The light fae nods and starts to leave, bbut then again stops, making an abrupt turn back to Kev. "I clearly just told you to leave, did I not?"
"Yes you did, but i wanted to make some things clear before my next visit, there are some grounds that need to be made, don't you think?" The light fae retorts with an indignant tone in his words.
"What.. What did you just say?!"
"Actually, what I meaant was.. Well, even if I do fear you and your threats, we both know that as of now, you need me to survive. it does not matter how many ears and eyes you have in L'agaib, you will still always need my help"
Kev's face hardens, contorting into a frown. "You dare talk to me in such manner!!" He seethes, getting up from his seated position.
"I apologize for my unmannered behavor, but i was only being fac--" He does not get to finish his statement, as he is thrown across the room with just a swish of Kev's arms.
"Your Majesty!" he shrieks amidst his painful groan.
"You know what i hate the most?" Kev says as he stalks toward him, "I will tell you.. I hate it, when people like you just will not know their place." Kev sneers and bends to the man's crouched position, "So you had better know your place, light fae.. do you understand?"
The light gulps and shakily nods his bhead. "I will take my leave now" he says.
Kev smirks. "Good"
The light fae hurriedly stands up and teps out, his palms folded into fists. Just a little more time, he reassures himself, he has to keep up with this for just a little more time, after all he has for years now.. and soon he will get what he wants.
