18 Relieving some stress (2/2)

”Been waiting a long time for this.”

Her crossbow and necklace were gone, they both had been fused into her bracelets which had now been turned into massive gauntlets. Evlin started to release as much healing energy into her arms as these gauntlets could support, and with all her strength, smacked the prince with a powerful fist.

The prince left out a huge scream of pain as the fist fused with his stomach and was sent flying all the way across the room, knocking over the table, until he collided with the wall. Evlin switched her armor back to it's usual crossbow and necklace figure and sent a few words of mockery to the prince.

”I think we should see other people!”

At the moment, the knights started to circle around the fallen prince and tried to threaten Evlin.

”Your highness!! You! You think you can attack the son of the king and walk away with no consequences?”

”... That was literally what has been on my mind for the last few minutes, yeah... Punch the prince and then go home...”

”You insolent... Surrender yourself right now or we will kill that woman!”

”Good idea! Anger the person who just sent the castle's 'greatest mage' flying like a rag doll. I'm sure nothing bad will happen to you.”

The knight started to shiver. Evlin was completely surrounded but she still acted like she could take on anyone on that room. The knight was hoping that the fight with the prince would have tired her out but it seemed like she could still keep going for a few more rounds.

”This... You will pay for this... The king will hear about this and will hunt you like a dog!”

”Have you not been listening what that stupid kid has been saying before? I was already being hunted. On top of that, are you really looking forward to telling the king that you let his son become my personal stress relieving machine under your watch?”

”Ugh!!”

”So i believe we are done here? Can we go?”

She looked at the knights that were pointing their weapons at Dalla which made them all tremble in fear. The soldier she was talking with before gave them the signal to let her go and Dalla rushed towards Evlin. Dalla was having a lot of trouble forming words.

”Evlin!! That... This... You... How...??”

”Yeah i know... Let's go home for now shall we?”

Before leaving the room the soldier gave one final attempt at threatening Evlin and Dalla.

”You will pay for this girl... Before, you were being chased as a potential lover for the prince and as powerful mage to serve the kingdom. But now you will be a wanted criminal. There will be a huge bounty on your head. No matter where you go, people will treat you like an enemy. You won't be safe anywhere!!”

Dalla looked at Evlin with a worried look but the girl calmly turned around and answered the guard.

”Then... Should i just get rid of every single one of you right here and now?”

The soldiers all started to hide behind the one who let out that threat covered in immense fear. Dalla started to tremble as well as if the girl who was beside her was a complete stranger. Evlin started to walk slowly towards the guards with her hands raised. She kept coming closer and closer making the soldiers tremble even more intensely. Finally when she was one step away from all the guards cowering in fear of her, she raised her body and left out a shout.

”Booh!”

All the guards started to faint after screaming loudly in terror. Evlin stared at the pile of men passed out on the floor and returned to Dalla's side.

”I think we're done here...”

The two left the building slowly and peacefully returned to Dalla's cabin. An awkward silence covered the mood all the way back. Before entering Evlin grabbed Dalla's hand and asked her a question with her head staring at the ground.

”... Is it ok... If i stay here...?”

Dalla looked at her for a few seconds, and suddenly that vision of a powerful warrior mage that completely demolished the prince without breaking a sweat started to feel like some far off memory while the one in front of her looked to be the same lovely little girl that she had learned to love up until now.

”As long as you don't mind the cold nights and the small bed... You can stay as long as you want!”

The girl covered in wooden armor raised her head and made a huge smile followed by a deep hug towards the kind lady.

”Actually, i think i can do something about that!”

Evlin turned her wooden armor into two big crossbows and held them in each of her hands. She started to shoot the cabin with modeling magic in numerous spots and slowly started to transform it into one of the vacation houses that she and her family would use during the winter. Dalla wanted to cry at the sight of her beautiful new home that she never imagined she could have in her lifetime.

”Evlin!! How did you learn all this?”

”When i was taking the second exam i learned modeling magic by accident.”

”You learned it by accident? How do you learn something this amazing by accident?”

”I don't know... I just didn't want to hurt the beaver...”

”Eh... ?”

”Come on! let me show you our new bed!!”

The two entered the new reformed house, and at that night, the two slept like they never slept before.
