Chapter 110 - My Training

I was awake by the twin and Pana, she had prepared them and have them on my bed heaping me with kisses. 

I wake up and fondle them in return, their giggles and smiles give me strength.

"Have they eaten already?" I asked.

"Yes my princess, they woke up very early today and when I fed them food they happily ate all of it," Pana gives all the details as she giggled.

"Well done my princesses," I whisper as I hug both of them and plant a kiss on their cheeks.

Barbara has her hand on the bracelet as her little hand tries to take it off.

I was glad they were able to eat, they have refused to eat food lately.

"Does it hurt my darling?" I whisper drawing nearer to her. "Mummy," she giggled and started clapping her hands.

My eyes were filled up with tears when the thought of the bracelet hurting them came to mind.

While I left to take my bath Pana and the twin went to play in the garden.

I took a walk around suddenly I was greeted by a guard who seems to be following me. He looks familiar.

"Hello my princess did you sleep well? are you ready," he said without any courtesy, no palace guard with the talk to the royal princess in such a familiar tone.

I walk closer to see who it was he still had his head bent down but I could see right away who it was.

"Nico you? what are you doing in a palace guard uniform?" I whispered as my eyes widened.

"Isn't it obvious, I became a palace guard," he smirks.

"You what?"

"That way it will be easy for us to train without anyone suspecting us so are you ready?" he said now standing close to me.

My hands were trembling, I was nervous and didn't know what to say. I look up to him as he still has his annoying smirk paste on his face.

"Maybe later," I said as I walk away he tag behind me.

"There is no time to waste it's either now or never, you have a lot to learn. I will be expecting you in the backyard in the next 5 minutes! don't be late!" he ordered and walked away.

I didn't have the chance to reprimand him for ordering me around of course why not? he's not a human, I felt angry, and yet I needed to obey everything he said.

"My princess, you are here?" Pana whispers as the twins run to hug me. 

"Hello, my darlings are you having fun?" I giggle as the twin nods their head. 

"Alright Pana get the twin back inside," I said bending over "Barbara, Barbie you two behave I will be right back," I whispered pulling them for a hug and a kiss on their forehead.

"My lady, where are you going?" Pana enquires as I give her a smile, "Come on take them and go inside I want to be by myself," I mumble as I watch them go inside.

"You are last," a voice mumbled as I enter the main garden. I rolled my eyes checking my wristwatch.

"You spend 5 minutes 5 seconds, time is everything, Nancy. I will forgive you for today, will you train in that?" He hissed staring at my flora gown. Well, I didn't change because I didn't want anyone to know I have started training.

"Yes, you have a problem?" I said as I held most of my hair up in a ponytail. I had a few strains on my face since my hair is short.

I took off my outer coat. I can now move freely.

"Okay fine we will start with physical training you need to be strong your body is too weak," he pouts jumping down from the high wall he was sitting on.

"Seriously, are you to teach me how to use my powers or how to fight?" I grumble folding my arms around my chest.

"Both, you will need to build your inner strength else you can't even control yourself much less your powers now focus," he said as he throws his fist in front of me. I was surprised I was able to dodge it.

I probably learn a few skills from my inner demon. 

"Okay that was great," he said as he throws another punch to my face, this time around I wasn't lucky it landed straight on my face.

"Geez, that hurts," I scream.

"because Nancy, you're not focusing," he smirks getting ready to throw another punch.

"Seriously you take delight in this don't you?" I whimpered.

"Oh no I'm just training you," he scoffs.

"Sure you are," I said still holding my cheeks which still hurts badly.

"Look at me, you need to concentrate, every details matter, all the time you need to have your gaze fixed on your opponent. you can't be lost," he instructed as he throw another punch at my face now I was focused, I was able to dodge again.

"Great, that's good Nancy you're doing good," he kept throwing punches faster than before towards my direction and I kept dodging them.

Now I realize how fun it was.

"That's good, now try throwing a punch to my face," he instructed as his gaze was fixed on me. He was absolutely calm.

I really mean to do that I threw a pouch as hard as I could and it landed in his hands, he caught it and the next thing I know I was on the ground with my hands being twisted.

"Time out Nico, that's enough it hurts, are we not just training?" I scoff as he let off my hands.

"Yes but we don't have much time, you need to learn faster, I told you to be focused. Once you have your opponent before you there is no time to think anything can happen, use your head," he said in a disappointed tone.

"Pew," I huff getting up from the floor and wiping the dirt off me.

"You know what I'm tired let's continue tomorrow," I said as I pick up my outer coat and wears it.

"Nancy, come back here, we're not done until I say so. You haven't done anything you just learn how to dodge punches," he scoffs.

"That's enough for me I need to go see my babies," I pout walking away.

"Nancy I'm not joking, we don't have much time and we are going to start training effectively 6 hours a day,"  he pouts.

"You think I can go missing for a whole 6 hours without anybody raising an alarm?" I grumble turning to face him.

"Well that's your problem, you need to figure that out yourself but today I'll let it go tomorrow at exactly 5 am I want you here waiting not even a second late," he said in a serious tone as he walks away.

I feel like strangling him, he's becoming annoying by the day I hissed as I brush my hair that was a bit messed up with my hands.

I hurry back into the palace on my way I bump into prince Asher.

"Wow see who we have here," he smirks.

"Watch where you're going will you?" I chuckled as I poke his chest.

"Princess, why are you in such a mess?" he asked with his eyes widened.

"Mind your business annoying jerk," I grumble, he can really get on my nerves.

"I was minding my business when you bump into me just now," he argues with a goofy smile on his face and I know what he is thinking when he saw me in such a state.

"You know what you're so annoying, I just wish I could make you disappear," I angrily said and walked away.

"wow that is a serious one, I didn't know you hated me that much," he huffs

"I don't hate you, your face disgusts me, my goodness," I cursed as I turned to face him angrily.

"Well  I only hope you are not messing around with some palace guard, that will be so disappointing,"  he said annoyingly as I stick my middle finger behind me. 

"Fuck you!"

"That's very rude Princess," he said as I walk away without looking back. I will get to have my revenge on him someday. His cup will soon be full. 

Lucky no else saw me while I entered my room. "Goodness, my princess why are you in such a mess and looking angry?" Pana looked at me with her fearful and confused look.

"Nothing fell over the grass outside," I lied, taking off my clothes.

The twin doesn't like it when other maids are around them, they are only used to Pana, "The rest of you can leave," I ordered the other two maids with Pana to leave.

"But my princess the crown prince said they can not be left alone," the maid muttered with her head still bowing down. What does she mean left alone? she must be out of her mind.

"I'm their mother I can take care of them myself now leave," I yell as she reluctantly left.
