Chapter 500 - The Heirs and Heiresses Training

It's already nine in the morning where the teens and babies woke up for breakfast. Demi had a big headache and her dad find out what she did. He is now messing her hair and pissed her. Demi is frowning badly at her dad and she started kicking him and he blocked it and continue doing it until she sweats.

Christian stopped from drinking water and watched Demi's reflexes and her father had trained her well with the attacks, Dmitri blocked it.

"Is that the only thing you could do?" he asked and then her brothers gathered and started attacking their father. They laughed until Dmitri is on the grass and they are attacking him. Even the two years old Dean is attacking her father.

Dmitri reached Dean and tossed him up to catch him.

"Let's eat now." They gathered to the bench with a ready to eat breakfast. The boys who had to spend their night until two in the morning the arcade went to the bench still sleepy.

They all started eating. After they ate, they went on the walk to clean up the acres. It's their training after all. They are on wearing their combat shoes and then clean up the boards and then the horse's stable. They didn't complain of the smell and just clean it putting hays on their food and carrots.

"Hey, Laurence, you look like this horse!" Kade said and Laurence throw a carrot on his way and he caught it. "Thanks, babe." He said flirtatiously and sounding like a girl. They all laughed and Kade feeds it to his horse.

"Okay, are you guys done flirting?" Andromeda asked.

"Yes, ma'am!" They said at the same time. Andy walked in the aisle.

"Our today's activity is horse riding and archery. So, last time we practice archery and horse riding. We level it up on riding a horse and shooting each bord that is going to be on your way. One-by-one you are going to go through our shooting range until to the finish line. I will be holding the time and then, Christian here will be behind you to get your scores. Do you understand?"

"Yes, ma'am!" They said at the same time. Liam is following behind with Reina, Levi, and Flash. They are still going to practice archery.

Christian watch the girls ride on their horses with gears. Athena, Zendaya, Bea, Demi seemed to be professional riders.

"I'm going to beat you up," Zendy told Athena who only laughed at her.

"Darling, my name is Athena, Goddess of war." Athena fired back. They sound older than they look.

"Go, Athena!" Gabriel cheered with her brothers. Athena flushed and glared at her dad.

"Dad, you are embarrassing me!" she hissed at them.

"Zendy, Zendy!" Zendaya's siblings cheered up lead by their father.

"We both have embarrassing fathers," Zendy told her and Athena agreed. Bea laughed at them.

"You guys at least have some supports," Bea said but as she turned her father already had a tarpaulin of her name and their cheer held by Thunder and Flash.

"Yeah, I think it's a good thing that they can't support us like this in our school," Demi said and his father is even grinning. Using her horse, she approached her father. "Do not think about it." She hissed at him. Dmitri laughed and waved her off.

"Good luck today." Dmitri showed him a sign of heart and her siblings followed. She ran her horse toward the box to pick her plag. They start picking up their flag to indicate the numbers and Laurence goes first.

He went inside riding his horse and with his crossbow and arrow. Then followed by Kade, Rhys, Raiden, Aria, Demi, Bea, Natalia, Nathaniel, Kale, and Athena. The rest of them missed 2-3 boards and Athena missed nothing and then next is Zendaya.

"You better beat that." Athena teased her. Although they are very competitive, both of them are best friends.

"Sure," Zendaya smirked, and then she started the race. She's faster than her last training and each shot is precise and direct to the red spot. She did it in seconds and 5 seconds less than Athena.

She came back and Andromeda smirked. So, there will be no cheats, the timer and the live footage can be seen by them on the big screen.

"Goddess Athena, I think you should praise this warrior." Zendaya teased and Athena clapped her hands.

When it comes to physical training Zendaya is ahead and her mother trained her at the age of three. Basic taekwondo and then tai-chi and she spent her childhood playing archery with her mother and other marksman games in their house.

"Zendy! Zendy!" Zendaya's siblings and father cheers as Zach lifted her baby sister lifting the banner.

"I think my daughter should learn from you," Sabrina told Andy. Andy chuckled.

"You are the best, Brina. They are all good. We just need to shape them up more."

They go more physical and enjoy the military practice. Running, climbing, crawling, and more.

Dmitri approached Christian.

"So, how's my daughter."

"She's good at archery and horse riding. I think she got distracted on something." Christian said. Dmitri nodded. "She would perfectly hit each red spot."

"She will." Dmitri agreed with Christian. "I didn't train her at her young age like Andromeda train her daughter or Sabrina does. Demi likes more of a puzzle and reading. Although we practice every day, there's no comparison to that two perfectionists who are aggressive with what their mother taught them."

"I wonder why Andy is aggressive."

"Her grandfather taught the same. She's the heiress and James showed no interest in ruling the Dragon Empire. He's more suited to become a successor of the business. But James has been trained too. Every Mondragon should know each defense and attack. Just like in our family."

Christian watched how Zendaya rode her red stallion with her bows and arrows. She's like a real warrior and the same with Athena and Demi. They are indeed real heiresses for each Empire.

"Sarah!" Agatha called and they turned to Sarah and her family.

"That's Viktor Kuznetsov."

"Yes, Sarah is my wife's sister and she's my sister-in-law." He told and patted his back.

"Are they married in arrangement?" Christian asked again as Agatha hugged her sister and then the kids.

"No. They are married because of love. Love breaks everything." Dmitri patted him and approached Sarah kissing her cheek and then he shook hands with Viktor.

Zendaya took a long bath after the training. It's time for late Lunch. She put her denim shorts and shirt on then her slippers as she walked downstairs. Demi is wearing the same style while she's busy with her puzzles.

She sat down beside her and took the crossword puzzle book and scanned it. There's nothing for her to fill it up. She exhaled.

"There's nothing for me here." She said. Demi picked up the hardest Rubik's cube and she started arranged it on colors.

"Dem, I have a riddle for you!" Laurence said and sat beside her.

"Just don't give me a riddle from google," Demi said coldly. Laurence froze and he cleared his throat and stood and left.

"Girls, it's time to eat." Zachary cold. They stand at the same time as they walked while busy on their puzzle. Zachary put his arm around Zendaya and kissed her temple. "Do you want to go to Paris this coming holiday?"

"Hmm, why are you asking me that?"

"Well, I planning to go there."

"Why?"

Zachary sighed.

"I am meeting an investor and I would like it if you are there."

"Why won't you bring one of my brothers?"

"They are going, okay? But you have to be there."

She looked at her mother who nodded.

"This is part of my training?" She asked. Andy nodded. "Okay. It's not like I have somewhere else to go." She shrugged. She finished the Rubik's cube and gave it to her father.

They all sat down.

"You guys already bored with these classic puzzles?" He asked.

"Yeah!" Demi, Athena, Laurence, and Zendy said at the same time.

"Can you do something about that, Uncle?" Laurence asked.

"Yeah," He nodded. "Maybe I could build some toys for all of you."

"Eat first." Andy put food on his plate.

Zachary is holding his youngest daughter so, Andy feeds him and their baby.

Seeing them having this big family bonding every week must be worth it all. They are happy and all of the stress from the weekdays has been washed up by their rare family activities. Each of them is enjoying it and they don't complain to their parents about it because from the start, their parents make them understand that they need to learn what warriors should.

They are also advance on their learnings and they might be called the Generation of Geniuses. The smile and laughed on their faces are worth every pain that they take from the past.

Christian oath Dmitri to serve his family and protect them and in a very unexpected exchange, Dmitri took him as part of the family which he never thought of.

He's even close to little Casey and Freya somehow trusted her. He doesn't know why he's playing with Casey at the moment.
