CHANCES - Battle of Heart: Online
Interlude VI's. Ellen's Heart 《 II 》

...『️Researned wise because this is only fiction, not real️ 』...

I swung my sword horizontally from left to right thus slashing the neck of the wooden puppet.

SWUUUSHHS

PRAAK

I did the horses and swung again towards the body of the wooden puppet so as to cut its body in half. I put my sword back into its sheath and walked up to the wooden doll. My index finger stroked over the neatly cut wooden body.

I nodded and felt satisfied in my heart before leaving the training room where some of the Royal Guards who were also training, silently watching me walk away.

"Today, the Princess is in a bad mood again."

"This must be because Her Majesty the Queen is still recovering."

"I heard Her Majesty the Queen won't last long"

Hearing that whisper, I immediately threw my sword right into the wall beside the bodyguard. He jumped in shock as did everyone around him. They were compactly lined up as I walked over to them with an expressionless cold gaze. Their commander apologized to me that I didn't touch when I picked up my sword that was stuck in the wall. As soon as I walked away again, the commander immediately punished them all running around the palace grounds.

Trying to contain my anger, my feet led me to my mother's room.

I climbed the steps one by one while watching the end of the stairs, usually if my mother heard my footsteps, she always waited while spreading her soft and warm smile.

Right now, there was only darkness and a small light from the candle that was at the end of the stairs. Once I was at the end of the stairs, I suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

KRRIIIEETTT

I looked towards the quiet and empty corridor, I traced where the sound of the door came from which turned out to be my mother's room. The door opened, as soon as I saw it from the outside, my dear mother was still on the bed. He seemed to be lying weakly.

"Why is this open? Is this the wind?" ask me to myself. I'm afraid my mom will get cold, do I need to lock her up? But, I don't want to lock my mother here alone.

All right, tonight I'm going to sleep with my mom next to her bed.

Feeling that someone was following me behind, I suddenly looked behind me where the door was still open. I watched for a while the place was empty when it was like there was someone but I immediately walked up to the door and closed it before heading to the side of the mother's bed.

I looked at my mother who was still closing her eyes, my hands immediately grasping her hands that were so cold and pale that they even began to feel hard from her bones.

I bit my lips to hold my cry before sitting next to him without taking my hand off.

What am I supposed to do ?

I can't use the healing power of Light Magic.I'm still not too strong for that...

The priest said my mother was cursed by one of the Dark Magic users.

In Cyrus, only two humans wore Dark Magic other than monsters. The monsters will not give a complex curse so the only remaining suspects are those two people. One of them was the boy I met in Heart Kingdom.

Looking at her age, there was no way she could curse my mother whom she had never met. Then there's one more person left...

The first concubine of the Kingdom of Heart, the mother of the boy...

I tried to hold back my teeth that would grit each other, my mother always said it was not the sweet attitude of a princess as strong as the princess.

I squeezed my mother's palm again before I fell asleep next to her bed.

If only my mother woke up tomorrow. I will obey all my mother's will towards me.

...****************...

I hungry...

Hmmm.ini.brown smell...

Hehehe..nyam...

Ah this is a blanket.hmm, but I can still smell brown...

I slowly opened my eyes and raised my head. My mother, Queen Elena is sitting on a bed. Queen Elena, my mother smiled at me, "Good morning, my daughter Ellen. How's sleep?"

I yawned and nodded my head, "I slept well, Mommy?!!!!!" at first I replied calmly but when I realized my mother was still smiling at me, I was shocked and shouted.

Hearing me scream, several palace guards and my father ran into the room. They all looked tense but gawked when they saw me already in my mother's arms.

That morning, the atmosphere inside the Spade Kingdom palace became noisy and filled with sobs of all the servants, Royal guards who heard it or my family members. My sisters ran around crying as well as my mother who immediately went to hug them.

We're all thrilled to see Queen Elena, my mother back to health.

But all of a sudden, after hugging each one of us, my mother said she wanted to stop a new war between the Spade Kingdom and the Heart Kingdom. My father asked my mother, who replied, "Trust me, it's not Karina the Dark Witch who gave me the curse, it's Satan!"

My mother's words made no sense to my father, but when my father saw how the seriousness of my mother who came to one by one nobles to ask them to hate and want to do war with the Kingdom of Heart made my father not have the heart.

In the end, a new law emerged that shocked the Spade Kingdom.

The content of the new law is, there will be exile to execution for any person or group from the Spade Kingdom who is still planning, executing, actions that trigger a new war with the entire Kingdom of Cyrus, the Kingdom of Heart.

I really can't believe that when the Spade Kingdom with the Heart Kingdom has stopped fighting is this fast.

...****************...

MOSQUITO MOSQUITO MOSQUITO

I chewed on chocolate while watching some Royal Guards train in the palace grounds. Since the trade route between the Heart Kingdom was opened. I was finally able to buy as many snacks and chocolates from the Heart Kingdom as my heart pleased.

MOSQUITO MOSQUITO MOSQUITO

When my mind was completely focused on the chocolate in my hand, my mother called me from behind, "Ellen? What are you doing there?"

MOSQUITO MOSQUITO MOSQUITO

I turned my head while still chewing chocolate with vigor, looking at me like that, my mother immediately smiled.

"How dare you eat a sweet snack before dinner?" ask her a little annoyed before approaching me who is still chewing chocolate.

When it smelled, I gasped, "This isn't chocolate yesterday?!"

My mother nodded and gave it to me, "For me mother?!" I shouted in excitement and received the package.

As I was watching and smelling that very fragrant brown smell, my mother asked again, "I heard you've visited the Heart Kingdom?"

I nodded my head and looked at my mother, "What's wrong, mother?"

"What do you think of the Princes in the Heart Kingdom? You've met both, haven't you?" ask my mother in full search.

I nodded my head indifferently, "Yes, mother. I've met the brands together" I replied as I took one of the chocolates from the wrapper that mom gave me. Mom watched me as I chewed the familiar chocolate...

MOSQUITO MOSQUITO MOSQUITO REPELLENT?

Suddenly my body felt light and my eyes became sharper, I gawked and looked at my mother with great surprise.

"This brown.mom.." I stammered.

My mother nodded, "Yes, that chocolate can help you level up quickly and there's protective magic in it.."

"Where did you buy this?!" I exuberantly exuberant. My mom just smiled and shook her head, "Mom got it..that's all you can say..don't forget to practice huh?" my mother immediately rushed off like she was trying to avoid the topic.

How else, I have to eat it slowly and one by one.

Oh, I have to practice !

SWUUUNG

My sword blade directly touched onto the wooden puppet and cut it into four pieces. My body felt even lighter, a sign that I had leveled up. I looked at my hands and smiled.

"Well, with this.I can become even stronger!" I swung my sword back at the other wooden puppets.

Almost all the wooden puppets I had managed to destroy in one practice! I cheerfully walked back inside the palace with the frightened gazes of the other guards who were also training with me. None of my business.

I took a break before I went to take a shower and changed my clothes for dinner with my family.

As usual, my sisters greeted me and they laughed a giggle that confused me. My father looked at me and told me to sit down, and my mother, who was sitting next to my father, smiled at me.

We started having dinner with a different atmosphere and it was quite strange, for me.

After dinner, my sisters who used to eat snacks with me immediately rushed away laughing and smiling at me before disappearing from the dining room. I left myself with both my parents.

My dad cleared his throat and my mom smiled before asking, "Mom's pretty curious about what you think of Ryder?"

I raise my eyebrows, "Ryder? You mean Ryder Heinspade?" my many.

My mother nodded and smiled as she put a photo on the table in front of me, looking at Ryder Heinspade's photo. He was a noble family in the famous Spade Kingdom who was quite wealthy and was almost comparable to the wealth of the Diamond Royal family.

"..hmm, I think he's like a typical kid..."

Ah, I know what my father and mother mean now.usually for a princess, they have had a fiancee since the age of 8 or 9...

Is this one of the candidates you will choose ?

Besides, I promised to obey everything he wanted...

I looked at my mother, "What do you think, mother? Is Ryder suitable for me and our Kingdom?". My question was answered with a faint smile by my mother and father who cleared his throat happily, "According to father getting a daughter-in-law like the Heinspade family is enough to help our Kingdom financially. I heard Ryder was a nice kid to hang out with."

My mother finally cleared her throat and asked again, "What do you think of Prince Myles Heart?" his hand placed a picture of Prince Myles Heart next to Ryder's.

I closed my mouth and thought about Myles laughing. "I think he's a nice, jolly boy. But to me he's a little.ridiculous."

My mother nodded as well as my father who also agreed with me. I once again asked my mother and father's opinion. Mother replied with a sweet smile and her eyes were covered by her smile. At least this is the best reaction compared to Ryder. As for my father, "According to father, our Kingdom will be stronger when it will be combined with the heir to the throne of Heart Kingdom. Like the stories your mother likes, where princes and princesses who are in different kingdoms and are enemies instead become romantic partners."

My mother nodded and continued, "Well, this is the last candidate" my mother said, making my father frown, "You mean you're going to run the boy to our daughter? Are you sure?"

The question did not surprise me and there was no need to think twice about who my father was talking about.

My mother nodded steadily, she smiled grinning, "Alright, this is the last one. The most phenomenal person in history, what do you think of Kyle Heart, my daughter?"

I fell silent as my mother placed a picture of Kyle Heart next to her brother's picture. Unlike the previous two photos where Ryder and Myles smiled widely. Kyle looks unhappy in the photo. His face was similar to when he gawked in fascination at seeing me...

Unknowingly, the tip of my lips smiled in light of the incident when she grinned and fought Amy's actions, "I think she's a little."

Looking at my reaction, Dad looked pale and surprised while my mother smiled widely and looked very happy.

"We finally know who the winner is here!" my mother cheerfully. My father looked confused and looked at my mother.

"You mean we're gonna let our daughter with that kid??"

"Trust me, that child is the best hope for us!" my mother happily.

I kept looking at the photo in silence while thinking...

Ah, I deserve to feel a little familiar with the smell of chocolate in the package...

Did he make it ?

If I'm right...

I think he's actually as sweet as the chocolate he's made himself...
