Luci Vs. Lizzie

Waking up, Ritzy lazily got out of his sleeping bag and went to a nearby table with a basin filled with water. Tired, he put his hands into the basin and then splashed his face with water.

Fully waking up from the lukewarm water, he looked around the room for his clothes but then saw Lola sitting crossed legged next to his sleeping bag.

Ritzy mind,

'Did she think she could practice mana storage while sitting next to me?'.

Not bothering to investigate further, Ritzy walked to his luggage and pulled out some clothes. Not bothering about Lola, Ritzy changed into black pants with embedded chainmail he bought from the auction house and a white shirt with embedded chain mail as well. He also put on dark brown boots that had a metal plate on the tip of his feet.

Dressed, Ritzy left the tent and saw one of his male servants holding food in front of him. Most likely he was coming to bring him breakfast.

Servant,

"Lord Ritzy, breakfast is ready".

Ritzy took the bowl of rabbit stew and as he was about to say something, Ritzy heard yelling, and then everything went silent.

Curious, he activated his Mana Presence and sensed Lizzie standing valiant next to the princess servant laying on the ground.

Ritzy's mind,

'More trouble'.

Annoyed Ritzy walked toward the breakfast area while blowing on his hot bowl of stew. Getting closer, he sensed them fighting with only their fist. Each one threw a swing but Luci mostly dodge and Lizzie didn't react much to her punches.

Arriving, Ritzy then sensed one of his knights about to intervene as well as the princess's male servant. Knowing if he didn't do anything, there would be trouble. Ritzy used mineral magic.

Ritzy stomped his foot on the ground with mineral magic which caused the ground to rise and create a fence around the Lizzie and Luci. The fence was stomach high so it stopped Chuck and Ritzy's knights advance.

Chuck and Ritzy's knight noticed Ritzy create this fence and looked at him with surprise. Ritzy then nodded no as a sign to not intervene. Chuck and Ritzy's knight stopped trying to join or stop the fight.

Seeing them stop their actions, Ritzy then placed his bowl on the stone fence he created and then used the spoon that was in the bowl to start eating while he watched them fight.

Lizzie charged at Luci and threw one fist aiming directly at her face. Luci quickly responded by sidestepping and then responding with her own punches.

She threw three consecutive punches into her abdomen, causing Lizzie to twitch but not much else. Lizzie annoyed, she threw another punch but Luci dodge and punched Lizzie in the same spot again.

This time Lizzi's face showed more pain to her punches but Luci wasn't satisfied. Knowing this was gonna take to long, she pulled a knife the was sheathed on her waist.

The sudden knife caused Ritzy's slaves and knight to become hostile and Ritzy realize they were about to intervene by attacking. Knowing he had to prevent this but still be neutral, Ritzy stabbed two fingers into the fence he made.

Using mineral magic, Ritzy flicked his fingers. Causing a small piece to fly off into Lucci's knife and knocking it out of her hand.

Everyone turned to Ritzy in shock but Ritzy responded uncaringly.

"No weapons, settle your disputes with your fists".

Ritzy then went back to his stew and took a spoon full bite.

They were all surprised by Ritzy's action but then Lizzie noticed she had the go-ahead to beat the pompous b*tch's ass. Lizzie quickly threw another punch but Luci noticed. Luci quickly used her arms as a shield and braced for Lizzie's punch.

As soon as Lizzie hit Luci, Luci was thrown a couple of feet back but still standing. Even though her hands were still shaking she didn't relent. As soon as she stabilized, she charged forward.

Lizzie threw a couple of punches but Luci dodged and kick in return. She kicked twice Lizzie's calf and once on Lizzie's back. Lizzie has been taking hit from Luci for a while so they started to hurt. Pain could now be seen from Luci's hits.

A few more hits were exchanged from Lizzie and Lucy. Finally, both of them became tired. Luci still had her bruises ar her arms from Lizzie's previous attacks and Lizzie seemed so tired she wanted to fall.

Knowing this couldn't last anymore, they gave it their all. They both charged at each other, Lizzie block Luci's hits, and Luci dodge Lizzi's punches but eventually, Lizzie took a misstep and lost balance.

Luci quickly took advantage of the situation and kick her in the middle of her chest. Causing her to fall to the ground.

As Lizzie was about to stand up and Luci was about to hit her down, a young girl's voice could be heard.

"Where my food!".

Everyone turned to the origin of the sound and saw Ritzy's knight opening a pathway to Princess Diana.

Princess,

"And?".

Luci and Chuck both panic but then reorganized themselves and quickly came in front of Diana. Without hesitation, they bowed with their head on the floor while practically screaming.

"Forgive us, Princess!".

Princess,

"Luci, were you just having fun instead of bringing me breakfast. You rather I starve so you can play!?".

Luci,

"I would dare Princess! I was just demanding better food to satisfy your palate".

Princess sighed,

"And where do you think we'll get better food? Look behind you, even their Lord is eating the same thing as them. Or look at the village nearby, do you think they have something better?".

Luci turned around and saw Ritzy eating the same stew as everyone else. Her skin began to pale after seeing her mistake.

Turning back to look at the Princess, she bowed again.

"I'm sorry Princess, I didn't mean to cause trouble".

The princess sighed from stress and said with a hint of anger,

"Go get me breakfast before I stop feeling merciful".

Chuck and Luci,

"Yes!".

They both started running to the servant handing out breakfast but as Chuck was about to pass right by Ritzy. Ritzy extended his hand with his finished bowl.

Chuck unexpectedly slammed into Ritzy's hand, but instead of hurting Ritzy. Chuck's stomach was in pain and made him take a step back.

Since he was in pain, he instinctively placed his hands on his stomach. But since Ritzy's hands were holding the bowl in front of Chuck's stomach. Chuck unknowingly grabbed Ritzy's empty bowl.

Ritzy then began walking away while waving behind him at Chuck,

"Since you're going to the servants, drop off my bowl".

Leaving the area, Chuck became infuriated by what happened but then remembered he needed to make up for his mistake before to the princess. Throwing the bowl to the ground, he chased behind Luci.
