My Triling System

44 Chapter 44: Stubborn Mistress

“Stop! Stop! Everyone should stop fighting!” Elijah said as he got into the midst of the students.

The female his mistress ordered him to bring was surprisingly someone he knew. He rubbed his eyes to see if he wasn’t seeing illusions.

‘ Don’t tell me... Lexa was the one who froze her sister?! Arghh.. what did I got myself into, I’ve promised mistress Lina. She must have known I couldn’t do it.’

Just as Lina was her mistress at home, so was Lexa. Elijah was a loyal servant to the two lady fairies and had been serving their family for almost twenty years. Seeing that his mistress was in danger, he had to interfere and rescue her.

“Get your hands off her right now,” Elijah shouted and the guards who had seen that their mistress was in danger immediately rushed to save her.

Two of the guards grabbed the elves that endangered Lexa and made them kneel on the ground.

“What? Aren’t you children of the elven elders, how dare you place your hands on the daughter of the fairy leader,.. the Munroe family’s second daughter? Do you have a death wish?”

The gathered students could hear their conversations and were shocked upon realizing that Lexa was the daughter of the fairy leader.

“Did you know?”

.....

“No, I’m just hearing, I didn’t know she was someone famous.”

“Me neither.”

“Then it makes sense why the bullies were fighting over her.”

Just then, someone spotted the other groups of bullies watching the commotion from a corner.

“Guys.. guys, look over there. They are here.”

Everyone shifted their gaze toward the direction of the bullies and a sudden fear struck their hearts.

“I wonder if they’re going to interfere.” A student said.

“If they do, the male elf might be killed.” another replied.

“You mean the one that beat up Matt?”

“Mistress, are you alright!” Elijah said as he approached Lexa seeing the wound on her wrist.

“I’m okay. Thanks for exposing my identity.” Lexa frowned before walking with her shoulders up toward Kevin. She is no longer feeling ashamed of yesterday’s fact. She has decided to reveal the truth if that’s what will make her feel at ease. Hiding and shying away from Kevin won’t solve the matter so she decided to approach him and talk to him.

“Are you alright Kev? I’m sorry you had to fight because of me.”

‘ Kev! Did she just call you Kev? Wonderful, she’s head over heels for you.’ The system teased.

“Sure, I’m okay.”

“Then.. can I have a moment with you?”

Matt’s men had heard the request and had gotten angry. Especially the one who was about to fight Kevin. One of Lexa’s guards had his hands tied to the back so he won’t do anything rashly but he had forcefully freed himself from his grip and walked towards Kevin.

“You still owe me a fight, where do you think you’re going?”

Matt was already healed and had immediately stood up.

“It’s okay Ratten, let’s suspend this fight for later. I wasn’t intending to fight him anyway because I was sick. But he took the fight seriously and I was defeated. Let’s pick a date and settle all this amicably.” Matt was trying his best to not seem weak in front of the students although he bear a great grudge against Kevin for making him seem like a weak fool. He was going to have revenge on him at all costs. But he needs to come up with a lie that would retain the respect he had in the school. Even if he had to pretend to be sick, he would do so. It was something he was good at. After all, pretending was his second nature.

“Did you all hear that?!” Ratten shouted so the students could hear them. He already knew that Matt wasn’t sick but was rather trying not to seem like a weak person in front of the students by coming up with such a lie. “Lover Guy is sick that’s why he’s like this. If you dare carry any stupid rumor around, I’ve marked your faces, I’ll kill you all by summoning the dragon.”

“Now listen to me Kevin, you said you want to fight.. and fight shall you see.” Matt moved closer to Kevin and whispered to him. It was silent enough for Kevin, Lexa, and his men to hear. “Meet us at the tennis court by 7 pm. It’s just us, no other people must come with you, including Lexa. Let’s have a friendly duel together.” Matt said with a smirk as he walked away with his men. Those who were held by the guards had freed themselves. They let them go ’cause they couldn’t do anything to them anyway or a fight might start among the five families.

The bullies who had been watching the commotion between Kevin and the four elves suddenly disappeared out of sight as they saw Matt and his elves coming.

Kevin liked the idea the bullies suggested for him. Fighting them one on one in an empty hall was an awesome idea. He would be able to defeat them easily without worrying about what people would say or think of him. He would be able to receive the Triling rings and complete a part of his Ring quests.

If he succeeds in taking the four rings from the elves, the total number of rings will be five in total but he still has a long way to go.

As soon as the elves left, Lexa grabbed Kevin’s hands as she in hopes of discussing with him. Elijah had seen her leaving and had run to stop her.

“Mistress, please wait. Your sister wants to see you in her office.” Elijah said, walking behind Lexa but she ignored him and instead walked faster than before. Kevin couldn’t do anything, Lexa was holding his hands tightly and he couldn’t stop her from running. Elijah kept on following them till the students decided to run faster. This time Kevin was the one holding Lexa’s hands and they laughed as they ran towards the convenience store.

Elijah stopped as he tried to catch his breath. He couldn’t run anymore and just give up on chasing his stubborn mistress. He already knew this was going to be the result anyway. Lexa has always been the stubborn child of the Munroe family, she’s so difficult to control and she does things as she likes. But she was the favorite child of her father although he doesn’t show it to anyone. Yet in his words, it shows a lot that he cares for her.

“Boss, are you sick?” Ratten asked as the four elves sat down to eat in the canteen.
