Chapter 69 Training With Fiona.



Anna opened her eyes, startled, looking around. She wasn't in her room, and as she sat up on the bed with a sleepy expression, she said, "W-where am I? Wait, whose room is this?"

"This is my room, Miss Anna," Echidna replied from the right side of the bed, holding a glass of water while wearing what seemed to be Echidna's pajamas.

"Huh? But why? Didn't Áclis die? Is that why I'm here... What will happen to the kingdom now?" Anna placed her hand in front of her face, expressing sadness.

Echidna sighed, practically rubbing the glass of water on Anna's face as she said, "The kingdom is safe, but a demon stole your body."

"Eh? What do you mean? I don't remember... I..." Flashbacks from the previous day began to appear in her head, and with each memory, a piece of her soul seemed to escape through her head. "Hahaha, did I, as a princess, really do something so embarrassing?"

Echidna thought about the scenes she had witnessed and said, "Well, you seemed to be enjoying it a lot. Am I wrong?"

"It's not that I didn't like it, but I shouldn't have done that kind of thing with someone like Master Dantalian..."

Anna looked at her own hands and said, "Anna, forget everything you saw."

"Okay..."

'Another secret? Damn it' thought Echidna.

Anna got out of bed and looked around before asking Echidna, "Why am I in your room?"

"Your room is a complete mess and smells horrible, so we abandoned it."

"Really? Was it that bad?"

"It was worse than you can imagine" Echidna exaggerated at that moment.

"Wow, I didn't expect to end up in something like this at such a young age" Anna, an elf of less than a hundred years old, said.

"What will you do about your parents?" Echidna asked, opening her wardrobe and taking out some clothes she had taken from Anna's room before bringing her here.

"Nothing. They never ask me those kinds of things, so I don't have to worry about it if no one arouses their curiosity," Anna said, taking the clothes that Echidna had brought for her.

"So, Dantalian the demon got lucky that your parents are on a business trip" Echidna said, turning her back to avoid seeing Anna naked, even after what she had seen yesterday. It had become customary for her.

"Speaking of Master... I mean, Mr. Dantalian, what is he doing now? Since you're still here, he must not have left" Anna said, putting on a green dress as beautiful as the one she wore before. "I'm finished getting dressed, Echidna."

"Alright" Echidna turned around, looking and smiling at Anna. "You look beautiful, nothing like the whore I saw yesterday."

Almost instantly after Echidna said that, both of them seemed to have turned to stone, and to return to normal, Anna said, "But what about my previous question? Could you answer it?"

'What was that? Why did I call the princess a whore?' 

Feeling a little awkward, Echidna said, "Mr. Dantalian said it would be a waste to leave so soon, so now he is training with Miss Fiona."

Anna's eyes lit up at that moment. "Training? I want to see Master Dantalian fight."

'Hahaha, this time she didn't even try to correct herself... How did that demon manage to do this?' thought Echidna.

"And yes, according to what I heard from Amanda, they will be there all day" Echidna said, walking towards the door.

"Should I bring them something to eat? Or perhaps something to drink?"

"Let's stop by the kitchen first then," Echidna smiled, extending her hand to Anna.

'Personal guard? I'm more like her servant... A servant...' Echidna shook her head, having flashbacks from the previous night.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Anna asked.

"It's nothing, don't worry. Shall we go, then?" Echidna replied, taking Anna's hand and heading towards the kitchen.

Inside the castle, in one of the rooms on the first floor, Dantalian would be with his group, or most of them, as Freytan was in a deep sleep. Meanwhile, Amanda would silently observe Fiona and Dantalian's training from the right corner of the room, away from them. The room would be adorned with intricate designs and ornaments. The walls would be covered with tapestries depicting ancient battles of elven warriors and mythical creatures, like a massive green dragon that spanned across the entire sky.

Soft rays of sunlight would filter through stained glass windows, casting colorful patterns on the polished wooden floor. The room would be spacious, allowing ample space for training exercises and simulated combat. Various weapons, from gleaming swords to ornate staffs, would be displayed on racks along the walls.

'I can't believe the master is weaker than Fiona... It can't be true' Amanda thought as she observed a large ice pillar in the middle of the arena, with Dantalian at its center.I think you should take a look at

"You're too slow, my dear master. With that speed, you'll never have my body."

Two seconds after Fiona spoke, Dantalian landed next to her. Looking at the crumbling ice pillar, he asked, "What did you say, Fiona?"

Fiona smiled, and something cold struck the back of Dantalian's head, sending him crashing to the ground.

"You're too slow. That's what I said, my owner" Fiona said, looking at Dantalian as she pressed his head against the floor with her ice clone.

'He's not even using the power he gained from absorbing all the Krintoin energy from the kingdom' Dantalian smiled, digging his five fingers into the ground. He exerted strength and rose in one motion, breaking the ice clone's arm and kicking towards the real Fiona's face.

With ease, Fiona stopped Dantalian's leg with her own, lifting Dantalian up and making him crash forcefully into the ground, creating a crater where his body landed.

'Aahhhhh, what was that? Did the master lose? Again? This can't be true; it must be an illusion. Of course, he wouldn't lose like this' Amanda stood up, her eyes taking on a feline appearance.

"Amanda, sit down. No attacking your allies," Dantalian spoke while sitting, running his hand behind his neck.

"Huh? Sorry, master" Amanda quickly sat back down, leaning against the wall and fidgeting with her own fingers.

"So, how was I this time, Fiona?" Dantalian asked.

Fiona crouched in front of Dantalian, placing her hand on her chin, deep in thought. "Hmm, how can I put it, my owner? If you had used the golden energy, I wouldn't have been able to stop your initial attack. But afterwards, you would have died, and I wouldn't even need the ice clone for that" Fiona spoke with a cold gaze towards Dantalian, pondering the different ways the fight would end after receiving Dantalian's first attack.

"Oh, I see... So, I really need to improve my movements" Dantalian said, looking at the gauntlets in his hands.

'It makes sense... In all the fights so far, I've just copied things I saw in my past life or used minimal boxing and judo that I tried to learn in the previous world... Although, now that I think about it, I didn't use any of them.'

Dantalian and Fiona sensed Amanda's pressure increasing. Their eyes took on an amphibian appearance.

"Exactly, your movements, and her, your self-control" Fiona said, taking a step forward. Amidst a freezing mist, she appeared in front of Amanda, touching her forehead, causing a cold breeze to circulate throughout Amanda's body, making her fall to her knees.

Dantalian stood up, activating the divine hand and covering his legs. He took a step forward, appearing beside Fiona, looking at Amanda's now drowsy face. "Her ability is making her too impulsive."

"That's because of her ability? If that's the case, then she must not have fully adapted to it yet... Alright, my owner, if you allow me, I'd like to train her as well" Fiona said, crouching down and looking at Amanda.

"If you have a way to accelerate her adaptation, then go ahead, Fiona," he replied, turning around and destroying all the ice spikes that the Fiona clone had dropped, launching them in her direction.

"Great, now let's continue your training, my owner" Fiona said, and at the same time, Dantalian felt her hand striking his face, throwing him to the other side of the training room.

"Now, it will be close-range combat," Fiona's eyes gained a strong blue glow as she held a sword made of ice.

Thirty minutes passed, and Anna and Echidna were entering the arena.

"I wonder if Master Dantalian will like it? I've never made cupcakes before," Anna said, smiling and exuding an angelic aura.

'Ugh, I'm going to go blind like this' Echidna thought.

"Of course, he'll like them. I tasted them and found them delicious, Princess" Echidna said, smiling.

'Just don't mention that your initial intention was to make a sweet cake...' Anna had confused salt with sugar, but because of the joy Anna displayed, Echidna just let her continue.

"Hahaha, that's exactly how it should be, My Owner. You should aim right there," Fiona's voice could be heard from afar.

"You're so slippery, I can't touch you properly" Dantalian replied.

"Oh, what are they doing?" Anna said, running and opening the door, finding the arena completely destroyed and Fiona and Dantalian training.

At that moment, Dantalian's body was covered in small superficial cuts, with his clothes torn apart. He was stepping on Fiona's right foot while holding her sword with his left gauntlet and landing a punch on Fiona's stomach.

"No, no, My Owner" Fiona performed a backflip, landing a kick to Dantalian's chin before he fell to the ground. She spun her leg in the air, wrapping it around his neck, and with her crotch pressing against his head, she brought him to the ground, falling backward.

"So, My Owner, are you going to give up?" Fiona said. At this point, her clothes were also completely destroyed, leaving her nearly naked, conveniently with pieces of fabric covering her intimate areas.

"Oh, how indecent. They're... they're training, Miss Anna," Echidna said, touching Anna's shoulder. Anna was so pale that she looked like a corpse, as if her soul was leaving her.

'The arena... they destroyed the training arena... What am I going to tell my parents?'
