82 Hellish Training All Around (1/2)
Seeing the heavy weights on the floor caused Alicia's face to pale. But she still strolled forward and reluctantly picked them up and put them on. She knew Berlin was doing this out of her own good. Plus she knew she needed to undergo this kind of training now more than anything. After fighting with a devil she knew she was far too weak right now.
While Alicia was putting on her new set of weights Starla came walking into the main entrance in her armor lightly yawning. When she saw Berlin she gave a slight bow before walking over to Alicia.
The night before, after Alicia had gone to rest, Berlin had called for her to have a talk. The only reason Starla knew who Berlin actually was, was due to him coming to their house one time in this disguise. And this was only because her father was the military advisor to the king. There were literally only a handful of people who knew of this disguise that the king used to walk about town. Most of the higher ranked nobles only knew Berlin as the leader of the court magicians and had no idea that Berlin was actually their king. This allowed the king to see which nobles were loyal and those who seemed to have other plans. In this way, the king has gotten rid of many corrupt nobles and court officials. That was because Berlin was seen as the strongest person within the kingdom.
With such ill thoughts of wanting to gain more power by trying to bribe Berlin, these nobles would find themselves in prison the very next day. But even after so many years these nobles and officials seem to never learn and still try to find ways to bring Berlin to their side.
This brings us back to Starla who had almost died from nervousness when she met with Berlin and had to swear an oath to never reveal his true identity and to continue to treat Alicia the same as usual. This did not mean she knew of Alicia's status. Berlin did not tell her just in case Starla had a slip of tongue.
When Starla reached Alicia's side and saw the sweat that was dripping down her face Starla was a bit confused but before she could ask what was wrong she soon found her answer. ”Little Miss Wymane, since you said you want to undergo the same training Alicia has undertaken then this set of weights if for you. Once you put them on. Take a run around the capital with Alicia.”
*Bang!*
Another set of weights hit the floor breaking a few more floor tiles. Starla looked at the weights and then looked at Alicia and understood what was going on. Starla suddenly realized she might have just stepped through the gates of hell when she woke up this morning. Of course, not everyone was aware of what suffering the two young girls were about to undertake as Frey yelled out: ”Hey! Hey! Grandpa what about me!?” She pumped her fist in the air at Berlin causing Berlin to smile brightly.
”Oh does my little Frey want to train too?” Berlin asked gently.
”Yeah! I want to be strong like Mother!” Frey declared proudly as she started to flex her little arms.
”Alright, alright, then here you go. Put this little set on and you will fly around your grandpa while your mother goes out for a run.” Berlin waved his hand and a small set of armor appeared and floated over to Frey. Frey happily put them on and even though they did not weigh even one percent of her own body weight Frey still acted as if they were the heaviest things in the world as she tried to mimic Alicia's reactions. This scene caused those who saw it to smile and laugh.
