The Golden Throne

"Wait, did you say that the elves were constantly in contact with the spirits? I thought no one came there at all?", Liu Feng conversed with Avian telepathically.

"It was only humans who stopped coming to the spirit realm. Since they were so great in number, we wanted to know what happened. That's all."

Liu Feng could see that something was troubling Avian, but he and the other spirits were hesitating to tell him something. He stopped thinking about it and listened to class again.

The professor continued speaking in a monotone voice, and Liu Feng slowly started getting drowsy. Thankfully, the bell rang, and it shook him from the sleepy state. He got up, and went for the door immediately.

But then Cordelia called out, "Stop boy. What's your name?"

Liu Feng felt a cold sweat forming. "Liu Feng ma'am."

"Liu Feng. Did I tell you you can leave? The bell doesn't dismiss you. I do. Now, I am sure you have been paying a lot of attention to the class, so let me ask you, what is the incantation that the elves use to request for a contract?"

Liu Feng was not very attentive in class, but he sure knew the answer to this one.

"Ma'am, it is 'Inaestimabile sacramentum spirituum valentior dat aditum'."

The whole class started laughing out loud, and Liu Feng was confused.

"Just putting together Khair words in a sentence does not make a chant Liu Feng. I hope that you will pay attention in the next class. I will let you go as this is your first day."

Liu Feng hated being the centre of attention, but he knew that something was wrong. He used this chant before and it clearly worked. Then why was there another chant in circulation? He was a bit absent minded now, and everyone in the class quickly left. Liu Feng turned to leave, but found himself face to face with Amelia, alone in the room.

"How do you know that chant. You were clearly not paying attention, but you confidently said this out loud. You really thought that this was the chant. The chant is a carefully guarded secret of the Elvan kingdom. How did you know? Well, what can we expect from humans, always stealing things from others."

Liu Feng's face darkened. He scowled and rebuked her. "Do not assume things without knowing anything. Why don't you scatter back to daddy and ask him how they even possessed that information. Some mage tower they found in their kingdom? Don't kid yourself. The spirits are impartial. Do not think that the elves are loved by the spirits, and the humans were just abandoned."

Liu Feng left the room, leaving Ameila pondering.

He went to his next class, self defense. This was one class that he was looking very forward to. He really wanted to try out a heavier, better method of using the sword, because he did not like the brute force methods that Davis had taught. They all lined up, and their professor was standing in front of them, looking at all of them carefully. All of a sudden, Ameila ran to the end of the line, panting.

"Well, what do we have here? The princess of Elvan, late? Of course she is excused, as she is the princess, correct? But rules are rules princess. Please run a lap around the grounds, and then join the end of the line."

Amelia glared at Liu Feng with fury, but dragged herself to the track on the grounds.. It was quite big, and Liu Feng was impressed by its size.
