Sold to a Prince!

As Slyvia opened her eyes after her usual morning training session, a certain flash of light appeared in them, quickly replaced by a satisfied smile on her face.

She had completed her first round of mana training.

And just like she had been used to for the past few days, her clear blue eyes wandered here and there searching for her new teacher, but today, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Hmm... I wonder if he is busy." Slyvia muttered to herself as she floated back to the ground. She had a question that she wanted to ask him.

Since it was quite important, she decided to take a small break and headed back to the castle to search for the Lycan Lord.

She looked for him in the usual places where Roman typically spent his time, including the main hall, the library, the magic research building, and weirdly, he was missing from all these places, not to be found anywhere in the entire castle.

After a few minutes, she finally caught hold of one of the Lycan clan elders and Sylvia quickly walked over to the elder before he could run away from her.

"Do you know where your Lord is?"

"Umm..." The elder hesitated a bit and looked around here and there as if he had done something wrong and got caught.

"Is there something that you can't tell me?" Sylvia narrowed her eyes, which instantly made the elder falter.

"Your highness, please pardon my tardiness." He bowed respectfully and quickly blurted out. "Lord Roman has headed to the royal palace. The Lord has a meeting with his majesty this morning."

"Huh?" Slyvia's brows creased in concern as the elder quickly scurried away to resume his work, running away from her even. "Okay, thank you..."

Why did Roman suddenly leave the castle to meet the King without even telling her a word about it? She couldn't help but feel a little odd.

Not that the grown man needed to inform her of his whereabouts, but since he was visiting the royal palace, she thought that something might have happened.

"He didn't go there because of grandpa Cadmus, did he? Did grandfather's condition worsen?" Her mind started to make assumptions and her heart pounded in worry.

Even though she was trying her very best to train and become stronger so that she would be able to help him, was she already too late?

The mere thought of it made her heart tremble and she visibly paled. She owed that man a lot and most of all, it was because of her that he was in this condition.

"No, I am not ready to lose someone again. This cannot happen." Slyvia rushed back into the garden and muttered the spells under her breath, preparing to leave.

Instantly wisps of wind gathered around her feet and she floated up in the air as if she weighed nothing.

"Princess, are you planning to fly somewhere?" A familiar voice sounded near her, breaking her from her thoughts.

"Lord Isaac?" She did not expect to meet someone this early in the day.

"Princess?" Isaac glanced at her worriedly. "Is there something wrong?" He had no idea what was going on.

Because his house had uninvited guests who were hell-bent on annoying him, he dropped by here to do the same to Roman.

At the least, he knew that he would be able to peacefully spend the rest of his day. Of course, the added bonus was to irritate and tease Roman.

However, unexpectedly things here didn't look as simple. There was also an aura around the princess that was a bit overpowering at the moment.

It could only mean that she was agitated and was unable to restrain her emotions right now. "Did something happen?" He asked her again.

As he glanced at her, casually floating in the air, he still couldn't fully comprehend the speed at which she was improving her strength.

Sylvia shook her head, apologizing to him quickly. "Excuse me, Lord Isaac. I am just leaving for a short while to visit the royal palace."

She didn't know more to explain her actions to him further, so she immediately gathered the mana around her and summoned the wind elemental swirls.

Several wisps of wind once again enveloped her and without wasting another minute, she propelled herself into the air and headed out from the Lycan Lord's castle.

Her slender and graceful figure soared in the vast blue sky like a small swallow but her speed was nothing like a bird's. Isaac could only sigh in envy at the sight of her tremendous agility.

"I should follow her?" She might be amazing but she was still not experienced enough.

So Isaac was uncomfortable letting her leave the confines of the city by herself, especially considering Roman wasn't around.

He hesitantly shifted and ran across the forests following the bird in the sky.

...

...

...

Za Za Za Za Za

The wind ruffled Sylvia's long silver locks that were sparkling in the sunlight.

Even though she couldn't shift yet and actually use her draconian bloodline to the full extent, she was still capable of flying back to the royal palace without any exhaustion.

This kind of constant use of mana required a great deal of concentration, mental ability, mana manipulation, and mana capacity!

To achieve such a feat, a mage needed to train from a young age. However, Sylvia was able to do the same with just a few weeks of training.

She flew past several forests in between the territories and kept her distance from the trees to avoid any encounters.

A small bead of perspiration formed on her forehead, but it quickly disappeared as she continued flying with ease.

The difference between the Lord's castle and the royal palace wasn't too much, but her speed was still lesser than the griffon bird she had ridden all the previous times.

She had a few more minutes of travel left, even though everything appeared calm and uneventful.

Still, she kept her guard up and her eyes darted cautiously to ensure that nothing else was on her trail.

Just like her, Isaac who was running on the ground, only barely keeping up with her also cautiously observed everything.

However, the man's appearance was completely different from Sylvia's casual appearance. He was drenched from top to bottom in sweat.

"Praise the heavens, everything is going smoothly." He gulped, panting for breath. Unfortunately for him, his words might as well have been a jinx!

The next second, a loud horrendous roar resounded through the forest.

Ki Ki Ki Ki Ki!
