I sighed shaking my head in disbelief "Alright" I mumbled helplessly "I guess this is just a normal day for you".
Then my attention returned back to their fight and watched as Aisha held her own against Eleanor Iris and Alicia.
The saintess seed to be getting tired as her movents slowed slightly.
Yet she refused to yield...
’I have to admit she is quite strongwilled’ I thought to myself in admiration.
Eleanor seed to had the sa thought but she was more annoyed by that than admire the saintess.
"Can you give up already I am tired of not accidentally killing you" Eleanor mocked as she twisted the wooden sword in her hand.
Aisha remained calm despite the taunt and quietly said. "I wonder who was the annoying fly who couldn’t do anything in the previous fight".
Her words didn’t seem to directly point at Eleanor but Eleanor still got pissed she montarily tried to break her own rule to use her vines.
But soon realized and call back her vital energy however this made Eleanor let her gaurd down as Aisha imdiately closed in with a burst of speed.
"Never heard don’t let your gaurd down in a battle" Aisha whispered as she grabbed Eleanor’s collar and pulled her into a headlock.
This made Alicia stop her spell as she hesitated since Eleanor was held hostage.
Aisha seized this mont as she twisted Eleanor’s arm behind her back and used The Vampire princess as a Shield to block the incoming attack from the werewolf princess.
Iris imdiately stopped her attack as she sidestepped and pull back her strike to avoid risking hitting Eleanor.
"Aisha!" Eleanor hissed as she struggled against the saintess’s grip. "Unhand imdiately!".
But Aisha held firm "Drop your weapons" she commanded addressing Iris and Alicia "Or You’ll force to break her arm".
Iris froze just as she was about to try to figure out a way to hit Aisha without hurting Eleanor "But she’s a vampire surely that doesn’t an much". Iris mumbled unsure if she should just ignore her words.
Aisha smirked as her hands glowed in a golden light "I wonder if it would still be fine if I use tiny bit of my holy energy to fracture her bone surely that doesn’t break the rules"
Eleanor’s body shook as she gulped.
’I made a mistake No lethal moves was only for us three not her’ she regretted her choice to let this loophole slip.
Alicia and Iris exchanged a glance and lowered their hands their expression grim and salty.
I watched the scene unfold, my eyes widening in shock.
"That seed like a foul,". I said, turning to Claire for confirmation.
"Using Eleanor as a shield like that."
But to my surprise Claire shook her head in denial "All is allowed in a duel of life and death" she replied calmly "Besides the rule they agreed on there was nothing else to stop them, Aisha played it smart as didn’t use her holy energy despite the rules only restricting her spear, making them let their gaurd down and seize the mont".
I frowned unsure about whether I should be impressed by Aisha’s tactical brilliance or apalled by the rules display.
I glanced at Eleanor who was glaring with eyes of extre resentnt towards Sisha her face flushed with anger and humiliation.
Claire sighed with a wistfully expression as she shook head "Its a pity Lady Eleanor couldn’t use her bloodline ability" she remarked casually "That should have certainly even the odds a but alas Her ability even at its weakest is extrely lethal to a human" she leaned back against the wall of the arena crossing her arms over her chest. As she watched the tense standoff. "Though I must admit" she continued with a hint of admiration in her eyes "The saintess is proving to be a quite formidable opponent she’s outnumbered and outmatched but still managed to turn the tables around".
I nodded slowly then mumbled as I watched the match ongoing as Eleanor still refused to admit defeat despite her being in a extrely disadvantagous position.
"When will you admit defeat I am tired" Aisha mumbled tired of her stubbornness.
Eleanor remained silent and continued glaring at her in anger.
I frowned at Eleanor’s childish stubbornness as I breathed out a sigh of frustration "why’s she so stubborn" I muttered "Even though this test is practically useless as I have to take responsibility for Aisha regardless of the outco".
Claire nodded in agreent as a thoughtful look graced her face "You’re right Lord Valerian" she said softly "In the end you have to take all the bla and responsibility for them all" she continued with a mischievous smirk "After all that’s what Fate prepared for you".
I sighed heavily at the reminder of the words I wanted to ignore "I hate the word Fate" I mumbled under my breath and looked towards my wives still locked in a stalemate.
"I just wish they’d stop trying to prove sothing" I said glancing between Eleanor and Aisha."It’s not going to change anything."
Claire place d a comforting hand on my shoulder giving it a gentle rub "I know" she said sympathetically.
"But I hope you understand them as it’s their way of asserting their superiority, Its a common Female pride". Then she paused, her eyes narrowing slightly as she studied Valerian’s face. "Just rember," she added quietly. "No matter what happens here, you’re the one who has to live with the consequences.
I sighed heavily again for the ti I don’t know as I slumped under the weight of Clair’s words
’Female pride huh...’ I wondered why pride makes people so annoying.
For example if Eleanor wasn’t so prideful in our first eting then probably things would have turned out differently.
After a mont of contemplation I said to Claire with a helpless look "I know but what can I do about it".
"Lord Valerian You should stop trying to be soft Its better if you stay like that Bastard who almost made my lady cry" Claire replied to my question with an unexpected answer.
"But you were about to almost castrate " I complained rembering the dreadful feeling of space warping inside my pants.
The thought of it sent shivers down my spine.
"Yes although I said to be a bastard but you should know when to be caring.." she then paused and gestures towards them.
"What do you think is that" She asked with a solemn look.
"Hmm a fight caused by jealousy" I replied confused by her sudden question.
But Claire shook her head as she answered "Its a test of strength and will" she explained "Lady Eleanor and the other young ladies wants to assert their dominance to show who’s the superior even if she joins the family". She sighed and mumbled "Its extrely common in the supernatural world for won to be this prideful". She then turned back to look at "Can you end this peacefully yes but you should know that....You have to act as their Superior as their Alpha and head of the household"
"How so?" I asked my heartbeat quickening as the instincts I barely managed to keep in control glaring ip again.
"Simple your words should be final commandnt tell them to stand down and they should do it without questions" she paused and looked deep into my eyes "And you should give punishnt if they disobey and a severe one that makes no future problem, And whatever you do,"she added urgently."Don’t let them see any weakness. If you hesitate or waver, they’ll take it as a sign that you’re not fit to lead.
" You’re kidding right" I laughed nervously wiping a bead of sweat from by forehead.
But Claire remained solemn her expression grave "No," she firmly voice her disagreent "That’s how it is in the supernatural world, Lord Valerian Especially among female vampires and werewolves".
She leaned in closer and whispered "They are docile and obedient as long as their Husband or Alpha is superior than them stronger and more dominant".
I swallowed hard at her warning my mind racing imagining situations where I am either imprisoned or played around like a toy.
’That sounds Fant–Ahem Horrible and extrely bad’ I thought with shiver.
I glanced back at the four still standing in a stalemate neither side Making a move.
"So what you are saying is" I began slowly "I have to be more dominant".
Claire nodded solemnly her gaze unwavering "Yes" she confird "You have to be more dominant you have to be more assertive of your authority and make it clear that you are in charge" she paused her expression softening a little "but between the sticks you should give more affection as the carrots so that they don’t feel too bad"
I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what I had to do. I straightened my posture, my face turning determined "Alright," I said firmly.
"I’ll do what I have to do."
I turned back to the four won, my eyes flashing with newfound resolve. "Enough!".

Author’s hub...
The scene shifts from the training grounds to a dimly lit studio.
A man sits awkwardly in a chair his face obscured by a hoodie.
It was ...
I wave hesitantly at the cara my voice soft as I spoke.
"Hello As you know I’m the author" I say a hint of nervousness in my tone "You guys know ....well, I hope you do".
I took a deep breath as my hands fidget in my lap "first of all I want to apologize for decrease in Chapters lately" I continued "There were a few things in the outer world I had to take care of, and I hope you understand. I still love this world as much as you do". Then I paused an embarrassnt look in my obscured face "And I also wish if more people support as my patrons as living in a chaotic world isn’t easy without help".
But I quickly shook my head "It’s okay if you don’t support it’s just a re thought I am happy with just your smiles". Then a small smile tugs at the corners of my mouth. "And about why Valentina isn’t here...she also needed a break,"I explained. "But don’t worry, she’ll be back in the next volu. I promise."
I lean forward slightly, my eyes earnest as I look into the cara.
"Thank you for your patience and your continued support," I said sincerely. "It ans the world to .
