Brother

Upon hearing what the prince said Seraphina got a little impressed and she smiled.

"Well now I know one of the reasons, why your people adore you so much," she said and he scoffed.

"That's what you think, you better get ready for the tournament later" he replied and she downed her head knowing that some of her enemies will be at the tournament and knowing that made her a little nervous.

"So this is to just prove which academy is better, there is prize money," she said.

'Yeah, the winner in the end, well I am not supposed to say it but you are my student so the winner in the ending gets one wish fulfilled, the kings and queen grant the winner one wish" he replied and she smiled.

"That's actually a good reason to win," she said and he sighed.

"Yeha it sure is.." he replied and she stretched off and looked away only to see Kira and she sighed.

"I will be right back," she said.

'Sure" he replied as she got up and left.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

'I am here to warn you, someone is planning something big against you, be careful in this thing please" she responded.

'I see, you should be careful too and stop exposing yourself like this, it is not good" she said and Kira smiled.

'Don't worry about me so much princess, now go back with your friend I guess" she replied and Seraphina patted her on the head and she smiled then kissed Seraphina on the cheek.

'I will go now, be careful, have your guard up at all time even around that brat" she said then left and Seraphina sighed and then went back to the prince.

"Who was that? never seen her around here before" the prince said.

'She is my friend, she came to watch the tournament" she replied as he got up.

'Is that enough bonding for you? I would like to go back I have other princely duties to perform" he said and he sighed.

"Sure" she replied.

"What's with that not so satisfying answer?" he asked.

'Uh... I don't get it, my answer was satisfying enough... I understand you have your duties" she responded as she looked at him and he scoffed.

'You are weird, come on" he said as he walked away and she followed.

"I wonder if I made a mistake by asking him to be my friend? does he have another sibling that I can probably befriend so I won't have to deal with him?" she asked herself as they left with their horses heading back to the castle.

Upon arriving back the stable boy took the horses and they went into the castle.

"There is a surprise for you" Aria said as she met up with them in the main hall.

'I am not a big fan of surprises, what surprise?" he asked and she smiled.

'Been a while" someone said from behind and when both of them turned around the prince scoffed.

'You are back finally?" he asked as the guy before him smiled and hugged the prince.

"Good to have you back," Aria said as the person looked at Seraphina and smiled.

'Who is this beautiful young lady?" he asked in a cold yet soft tone.

'This is Seraphina your brother's student" Aria responded and he scoffed.

'You can put up with this guy Seraphina?" he asked and the girl looked at the prince then at the stranger.

'Who are you?" she asked and he smiled.

"I am his brother prince Liam" he responded.

'Your highness" she said as she was about to bow and Liam grabbed her by the arm and she looked at him.

"No need for formality, you are his student so just call me Liam and I wish you good luck in putting up with this guy, he can be stone-hearted at times," Liam said and Seraphina smiled.

"She is pretty, I would say this is a keeper for any guy" he said and Seraphina's cheek got pink as he winked at her.

'Stop flirting with my student" Aurelius said as he thumped his brother behind the head and Aria laughed.

"Coem on bro, live a little stop being so uptight" he replied.

"I am not going to repeat myself, Liam, you are my big brother show some respect and be a role model," Aurelius said and Liam scoffed.

'Are you going to lecture me just like dad now?" he asked.

'Guys come on are you really going to go at each other's throat with Seraphina here? you are giving her a bad vibe if she runs for her file I won't blame her" Aria said as both of them looked at Seraphina and she smiled nervously as she stood behind Aria.

'Enough now" Aria said and Aurelius sighed.

'Seraphina, go do whatever you want, I am in no mood to train nor do I want to be disturbed at all" he said and she swallowed deeply and peeked at him as he walked away.

'He is no longer in a good mood" she said.

'You are right about that, does he always talk to you like he is going to pounce on you?" Liam asked and Seraphons smiled nervously for she didn't know what to say nor why the brother were like that.

'Uh... I think I am going to go get something to drink and if I were you, your highness, I would keep my distance I might now know him that well but that's quite a temper" she said and Liam smiled as he looked at Seraphina walking away.

'Is that girl really his student?" he asked and Aria smiled.

'She is beauty and brains you know, don't get lost, your brother won't go easy on you, that really is his student" she responded and he sighed.

'I am going to get something to eat, I need food, I am hungry due to my journey back here, he sure does know how to convince me to come home that's for sure, I will catch you guys later" he said then she smiled and he left.
