Bet

[Next Day.]

[Morning.]

"I heard from your Father discussing some Academy, Are you going to any?" Lilly asked Emily as they walked through the village.

"Yes, The grand Elders of all the five races are creating an academy, training youngsters to fight the Cursed Child, which I guessed is the prince."

"Academy? Training Soldiers to fight my brother?" Lilly was stunned.

"Yeah."

"Wait." Lilly stopped and turned to Emily. "Are you going to fight my brother?"

"What? No! Why'll I fight the prince?" Emily turned to Lilly in confusion.

"Then why are you going? And... Don't you know Demons and the races of the first Continent are mortal enemies? Will you be safe going there?"

"So many questions." Emily smiled and continued walking.

"I'm going there for the resources, I'll do anything to have the best; so I can grow stronger and help the prince, and yes. I'll be safe... I'm thinking, why don't the prince follow me there? Will the Queen agree?"

Lilly sighed. "My Mom love Aaron like crazy, she won't let him enter the enemies' territory, You know everyone thinks he's the Cursed Child, so..."

"I understand, but what if the Prince choices to go?"

"Hmm... She "might" agree." Lilly said uncertainly.

"Aren't you worried about the prince? He hasn't returned Since yesterday?" Emily was worried.

Lilly chuckled with a smile. "I don't think anything in that forest can harm my baby brother." She said with a proud expression.

"Hey! You two!"

The girls stopped on track, staring at the three kids in front of them.

"What do you want again, Vince?" Emily asked with displeasure.

"What do I want?" Vince fixed his gaze on Lilly.

"Such Beauty, I heard Elves are beautiful... I didn't know they are this beautiful, even rivaling yours, Emily." Vince moved his gaze to Emily.

"Who is this?" Lilly asked in confusion, the kid in front of her was only fifteen, same as her but a lot weaker.

"Lilly, this is Vince. The son of the Village's strangest Archer, because of his father's title he thought he could act anyhow In the village, even trying to court me."

"Not trying Emily, I will... Your father might be the Chief and formal Commander of the Demon Kingdom, but now... My father also has a say. I am even training to be the next Archer, In about ten years from now... You'll be mine." Vince said arrogantly.

"Training to be an Archer? My brother is only six months old, but he's already the best Archer I know, while you... Till training at age 15... How embarrassing." Lilly said with a sneer.

"You! How dare you! Who do you think you are?!!" Vince and the other two standing behind him frowned.

"If you think I'm lying, Why don't we bet?" Lilly asked with folded hands.

"Bet? With and on what? You don't look like you have anything to give me, well... Apart from your body."

"You are disgusting!" Emily was enraged.

"It's nothing, Emily." Lilly turned to Vince. "You and my brother, shooting practice. The Best Archer who gets the highest shot wins." She said.

"Ok, what will be the gain if I win." Vince asked with a smirk.

"Easy, if you win, Emily will give you a chance to court her."

"Wait for?" Emily turned to Lilly in shock.

"I don't want Emily anymore, if I win... You'll be mine." Vince said with a grinned.

"Fine then, if you lose. You'll kneel in front of us and beg for forgiveness while kowtowing a hundred times."

"What?!!" Everyone was stunned upon hearing Lilly.

"Are you scared? I know you don't have the skills to go against my brother." Lilly rolled her eyes. "And I thought you are someone."

"Vince, Don't accept this bet. She is too confident." The one at the right whispered.

"Yes Vince, I heard the Elves has the best Archers in their kingdom, I don't think it's wise." The other whispered.

"You two are forgetting the important detail, Her brother is only a Six months old, he's basically a kid. Do you two think a kid can defeat me in my best skill?"

The two looked at each other, then nodded in understanding. "You are right, she said her brother is just a Six months old kid, this will be easy."

"Yes, I feel sorry for this kid, his sister just placed a bet on him without his knowledge... This will be an easy win, Vince."

Vince nodded after hearing his friends, he then looked up at Lilly and Emily. "I accept, But Can I see your brother. We can start after seeing each other."

Whzzzzzhh!!

Before Lilly could say anything, the space on her right distorted, and a circular gateway appeared.

"Huh?"

The guys were stunned, staring as a young man looking 6 years old walked out, seeing the guy and the red Raven on his right shoulder, the three were enraged.

"You!!" Vince hissed.

"What is happening here?" Aaron asked moving his gaze around everyone.

"Welcome Baby brother." Lilly said with a smile, walking towards Aaron.

Seeing the mischievous smile on Lilly's face, Aaron sighed helplessly.

"What stupid thing have you done now?" He asked.

"Come on now, Baby brother. When have I done something stupid?"

"Do you want me to start mentioning everything?" Aaron asked.

"No need." Lilly said with a nervous chuckled.

"Is this your brother? I thought you said he's six months old?" Vince asked with a frown, feeling he has been deceived.

"Yeah, This is my brother, and he's six months old... Now the bet." Lilly turned around to Vince with a sneer.

"You!" Vince sighed. "I was planning on getting you back for killing my Familiar, The opportunity has just shown itself... If I defeat you, you'll watch as your sister accompany me everywhere like a slave."

Aaron frowned slightly and turned his head to Lilly. "What is this fool saying?" He asked.

"Did you just call me a fool?!!"

Aaron ignored him and fixed his gaze on Lilly. Who rubbed the back of her neck.

"Well..."
