Chapter 8 Genome Editing
"What am I going to do with a bunch of no good?" she asked.
"Simply try and teach them, I think it will be best if you do that back at the castle though, school will be closing in two days, I wanted to tell you that too your highness," Elijah said as he came to her as she walked the hallway.
"I hear he is sick, he might die, do you think your friend is worth betting on Elijah?" she asked.
"Princess I am not saying to show them mercy but give them a chance, well him a chance" Elijah pleaded and she sighed.
"Fine since you believe in that kid, I will give him a chance, he lets me down and I will kick his ass," she said and Elijah smiled feeling quite pleased with the princess's answer.
"Fine, I will go talk to them right now, you get back on duty, my father sees you hear, you will get an earful, he has been acting strange, seems scared," she said.
"Yeah I know, see ya" he replied then left as the princess went to their classroom.
'Alix and team, come here now" she said and Alix looked at her sternly as they walked out of the classroom.
"I don't want to waste my time here so get on with it," Alix said as she grabbed him by the collar pulling him closer.
'Listen to me you prick, here you live under my rules, now it's either you win or lose, you lose and i will make you my personal servant until you are good for nothing, not that you are;t in the current stage already" she said then he looked at her with piercing eyes.
"Now Sarah, Ayden and Aerav do you agree to work with me or not?" she asked.
"We do" Sarah replied and the princess smiled.
"Now you look like idiots but I can tell you can all have talent even this well he might be good looking but you are no different than the walking dead Alix" she said.
'Speak for yourself, you don't seem to carry a heart, more suited to be them" he replied and she scoffed.
'Well I am no idiot, you see this face here, any girl would die for it" Ayden said.
'Come a little closer sweetheart I would get a closer view" she replied with a wicked smirk.
"You will be a real fool if you go closer," Alix said and Sarah laughed.
"You guys are just hilarious, I personally think I can get along with you all but I hope you guys can too Alix that means you and the princess," Aerav said.
"I can try, for the sake of winning I can definitely try" he replied.
"You guys will come by the castle to train, there you will have all the equipment you need and you can choose your weapons also I had a question, did any of you feel weird or saw anything weird last night?" she asked.
"Weird? how do you mean?" Alix asked.
"Never mind" she responded as he looked at her trembling hand.
'I will see you guys later" she said while walking away.
'Princess, is there something happening in the city that we should know about?" Ayden asked.
"Not yet, focus on your current tasks, also I need to know if any of you have any power," she said.
'I am Elementalist, I can control water I add that to my martial blade" Sarah said and the princess smiled.
'I like you already, maybe we can get along, I will have my team pick you up this afternoon, you guys will be training with them too, be careful one of them is a succubus" she replied and Alix coughed as she left.
'A succubus?" Aerav asked.
'Yeah be careful guys, I don't want to be seduced at such a young age" Ayden said and then laughed as they went back to class.
"Your highness," a guy in a hood said as he came into the car with her and they left. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨m
"You should not be sneaking up like this, what news do you have for me now?" she asked.
"I think we might have a science geek as a problem" he responded.
'There are a lot of science geeks, get straight to the point please" she said and he sighed.
"I think someone is messing with genetics engineering or editing" he replied.
"In simple form Genome editing, it's the alteration of the genetic material of a living organism," she said.
"Yes, in other words, they are messing with things they cannot control, we don't know who is doing this but I think it's being done to both humans and supernatural creatures in this city and a few others," he replied and she sighed.
"It can be done by inserting, replacing, or deleting a DNA sequence with the aim of improving some of its characteristics, making it bigger or even fast, anyhow they want it but the question that remains now is will they be able to do it?" she asked.
"I think it's possible" he responded.
'Yeah so do I, upon returning to the castle go to the king and make the report, I cannot be handling this now but I will try to help in whatever way I can. tell him your source too, he won't just believe you just like that, is that clear?" she asked.
'Crystal clear also I heard of you being appointed to supervise a new team for the tournament, good luck" he said as they arrived at the castle and he came out of the car.
'Thanks, I will need it, this time they are a bunch of headaches" she replied and he laughed as she heard a roar coming from the castle, and out came running a gold white, and black tiger.
'Hey boy," she said as it came to her and she petted it while all of the guards looked at her in fear of the tiger and she laughed.
