Chapter 168 Fighting a Fellow Atlantian 2 (1/2)

”Well judging by the defense that you made, you have high magic aptitude. You really are of royal Atlantian blood.” The young woman smirked. ”By the way my name is Clara, your highness. I am here to escort you to our prince Gladiolus.”

”To prince Gladiolus you say?” I looked at her with contempt. ”So he was the one that planned this attack.”

”If the prince wishes something, then he will have it.” Clara said with confidence.

”Well I am afraid I will disappoint you Ms. Clara.” I smirked at her. ”I don't have any plans to come with you.”

There was a moment of silence inside the room and then Clara laughed out loud.

”Hahahha!!!” Clara looked at me with amusement. ”Well you have no choice in this matter princess. Don't think that with your higher magic abilities can stop me.”

I looked at her maintaining my calm demeanor but inside I was rather curious why she would say my magic abilities can't defeat her.

”We know beforehand that you are of royal blood line and with higher magical aptitude than us normal Atlantians. Judging by the defenses that you made, you have practiced your magic well even without an Atlantian teacher. I can hypostasize that you can use your magical abilities well.” Clara said. ”We have foreseen your talent is using magic and so we came prepared.”

Clara reached from her pocket and showed me a black rock with a size of a fist. I looked at the rock curiously.

'What can a rock do?' I thought.

”This is no ordinary rock.” Clara answered my silent question. ”This rock is called Jenitite, a rock used to nullify magic abilities of Atlantians.”

My eyes went wide with surprise. I have never read or heard of such a rock in my studies. Looking at my surprised face, Clara smirked.

”This kind of rock is only found at the snowy peaks of Mt. Nerion that is found in the most northern part of Jennova. Getting there is rather risky and so only a few people that have ventured there came back alive with just a hand full of these precious rocks.” Clara explained. ”These rocks were used at the last great war. And because it was little in numbers, they used in on specific people. Mainly, the royal family of Atlantia.”

I was digesting this new information I am getting. 'Can such a rock really nullify my magic?' I thought.

I tried using my magic by to no avail. That just means that what Clara said about this rock is true. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”This specific piece of rock that you are seeing now was used against the crown prince Atlantia, prince Gladiolus' father.” Clara's face showed anger and hate. ”All of those who have brought us Atlantians grief and pain will pay. That is why I follow prince Gladiolus, to avenge my family that perished in the war.”

Looking at Clara, I can see her thirst for revenge. Looking at her she looks two to three years older than me but maybe she was even older than I thought. I can see her pain and hatred while talking about the past great war. Maybe she was a survivor that has seen the downfall of our country.

”I understand that you are in pain and wish to seek revenge. I can't change your mind if that is what you wish. But you cannot force me to go with you to accomplish your so called 'revenge agenda'.” I said. ”I maybe of royal Atlantian blood but half of my blood is still Alvannian. I also have my own life and I don't have any plans to go with prince Gladiolus' plans.”

”Heh, if you don't want to come with me peacefully. Then I can only take you by force.” Clara pulled out her sword from its sheath and pointed it towards me. Determination was etched all over her face.
