I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 12: Exam: Part 2

In the mansion, the maids are in a hurry as an important visitor will be visiting the Duke's manor.

The Young Master of the house is sipping tea while waiting for his annoying childhood friend.

A carriage with its glorious display of luxury stop at the doors entrance to the manor.

The head butler Jede is waiting for his Young Masters' guest to walk out from his carriage.

The young man with his shining blond hair swayed in every touch of the air... his green mysterious eyes look at the butler while he descended from the carriage.

The butler quickly bow down his head and greeted the guest.

"We welcome the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Levingstone, may the sun guides your path."

The head butler Jede said the customary greeting to the Crown Prince.

"Where's that brat? A Crown Prince and his childhood friend are here in the Emsworth manor but the head butler is the one who greets me."

The head butler quickly gave an answer with cold sweat forming in his body.

"Your highness, the Crown Prince. Young Master Allan hasn't had much sleep these past few days and was tired that is why he sent me here to personally greet his highness in his stead."

The old man gulped down his dry saliva as traditionally it was supposed to be the masters' of the house who should greet an esteemed guest such as the one who's in front of him.

The noblest among the noble, Crown Prince Edickart Adalbern Baldwin Von Langton.

The Crown Prince looks at the butler with a perfect smile.

"Is that so...? Then, it can't be helped. Leas me to where he is."

The butler who witnessed that angelic smile only shivered at the thought on how scheming this Crown Prince is.

How he become a manipulator at the age of 5 to get the title of a Crown Prince.

The butler erased his unnecessary thoughts as he is only a butler who relies upon orders from the Emsworth family, he quickly leads the way for the crown prince.

The Emsworth Young Master and the Crown Prince of Levingstone are having tea facing each other.

Silence in the room is only the ones accompanying them when the Crown Prince spokes first.

"I heard from your butler that you haven't slept peacefully this recent day... is there something that I should know?"

The Crown Prince flashed his smile but his eyes weren't smiling.

"That's nonsense, your highness, there's nothing you should be worried about."

Allan calmly said to Crown Prince Edickart.

"Hmm... is that so?"

Crown Prince Edickart answered as he sips on his tea without looking at Allan.

"What is the Crown Prince of this Kingdom doing here in this humble house of the Emsworth?"

"Hahaha... well the King sent me to hear to give this letter to the Duke personally but as he it is still a few days before he goes back from the North Border... I will just rely on this letter to you."

The Crown Prince reach his hand to his inner pocket in his white suit and gave it to the young Master.

"If that what it is I'll rely this message to my father."

"Are you not interested in the contents...?" The Crown Prince gives a smirked to Allan.

"There is only one reason that the King would make his son, his highness the Crown Prince to bring this letter personally... it's about that right?"

Allan said nonchalantly to Crown Prince Edickart. The Crown Prince only smile as a response.

***

I grab my dagger that was tied in my legs and I hold it firmly in my hands.

I stepped my right foot with force to forcefully give me a boost to launch the attack.

I swing my dagger to the spliks stomach only to be stopped by its hard horn.

We exchange blows and I finally landed a hit in the spliks stomach.

The spliks were angered and he transforms his physique to that of a muscular rabbit and it grew taller and he was wight below my chin.

'Tsk...! This will be difficult now.'

"You need to focus right now Lady Evelyn." Sir Ivo quickly stated as the monster was changing his form.

I distanced myself a few meters from the spliks and I racked my brains to come up with a counterattack that will finish this battle quickly.

'I can't use my magic as stated by Sir Shiek, I only have to rely on my combat training for this'

'I'll speed up to sneak on the spliks back and hit his head while I will have to slit his neck by using my dagger.'

'It's kind of impossible but it's alright... Okay! That will be my Plan A.'

I orchestrated my plan and follow through it. I run to the spliks direction and I jumped higher over his head making it seems that I vanished through thin air and I run to the tree and make its body my foothold, I jump forcibly and did a backflip.

The spliks turned its head and made its stance to defend itself but I was quicker and I landed on his head averting his horn. When I landed I turn around and did a full force kick to its body to immobilize its movement for a second.

The spliks quickly step a few meters back but I followed it by jumping to lessen the distance.

The spliks has already gained itself and also launch its attack.

The horn grazed my arms and legs while I was kicked in the stomach. I lost my balance and the spliks try to jump on me. I averted my whole body by rolling in the dirt then I stood up with great speed.

"Shit...!"

"Tsk!... so Plan A didn't work. Well, here goes Plan B."

I did the same thing as indicated in Plan A while the spliks seem to know what I'll do he quickly tries to thrust his horn and avoid my attack but I knew that it will do that.

I personally lured it in so that he will counterattack and he will think that he gained the upper hand while I will avoid it by swaying my dagger and kick his chin surprising him. The splik lost its balance and I elbowed its stomach followed by my dagger.

The long fight was over...

The spliks white fur was tainted with black liquid, it was the monsters' blood.

I was panting and breathing heavily as the adrenaline rush subsided.

The two men who were witnesses to what happened were clapping their hands and smiling.

I wipe my face because of the sweat and I walked to their direction.

"You did a great job...!" The guy wearing thick glasses said while the other was only smiling.

I was smiling when I suddenly remembered a burst of laughter awhile back.

"You guys...!"

"What...?"

"Ha... nevermind."

'If I said that I will only be teased, it's better to shut my mouth.'

"Now that you've passed my test take a quick break then we will find you, the second opponent." The black hair and eyes said.

"Already...?"

'I'm still tired as all the adrenaline in me vanished the moment the fight is finish and now...?! You're saying that we will go find another monster?!' I predicted that it will be hard for me to fight monsters and now that I experience it. I think one monster is my limit.

Sigh...
