Rise of The Queen (Complete)

Chapter 19

"I could barely see the ball," Alexa shook her head.

"At least you saw something," Conner clicked her tongue.

"And you," Alexa glared at Regan, "What?" He raised his brows.

"Didn't you say you'd help me? Didn't you say I could rely on you? You did nothing to help." She glared at him.

"You chose the opposite team, you were the one who wanted a match." He eyed her accusingly.

He realized she was no longer looking at him but behind him, suddenly his face lit up and a playful smile formed on his lips, "Do you hate to have me on the opposite team that much?"

"No, maybe I just hate your entire self," She walked out in anger as Carla stood beside him.

"At this rate, you're going to be hated, careful, dear brother," Lia's face broke into a smile.

"You instigated it," He spat hotly.

She stuck her tongue out totally enjoying irritating her elder brother.

After a few minutes, all came back to the ground, "Oh, the Elders are here," Alexa turned her head in a direction, "Where?" The others followed her gaze, Reagan's eyes were on her, they waited but no one came, "Where?" Conner asked.

"Indeed they're here," Lia nodded sensing their presence, after a moment they were there, everyone bowed down paying the respect.

"Hey, grand folks," Alexa waved her hands at them. She had become closer to them in the past few days.

"Has anything happened?" Reagan stepped forward with concern, they never stepped out unless it was some urgent matter.

"Oh relax, your majesty," The eldest of them spoke, "We're just here to look at the amusing match, it's not every day you see the queen and the king on the field against each other," Adira smiled amusingly, Reagan rolled his eyes, obviously, what did he expect?

"Having fun my child?" Adira then looked at her descendant.

"Challenging very, fun well..." Murphy answered in Alexa's stead.

"I see," Her eyes twinkled, "Obviously only training and challenges can be frustrating without a reward, won't it?" she looked at Reagan giving him a knowing smile, "Why don't we set a reward for the game?"

"Yeah right, that'll just make it worse," Alexa complained, they were barely catching up to their pace, a reward, that'll just make them competitive.

"Sure, why not," Reagan answered Adira.

Alexa looked at him, 'You're serious?' She narrowed her eyes at him.

"Let's make it this way, we'll play at your pace and the number of goals scored by each team won't matter," He started.

"Then?" She raised her brows.

"If any three of you manage to score a goal, your team wins and the reward, whatever you want." He smiled.

"Not a bad idea," Murphy tapped his chin with his index finger considering the challenge.

Alexa then looked at her friends, they gave her a nod, "Okay, we accept it," She nodded.

Even though they said they'll consider their pace, the difference was still just... she clicked her tongue, 'Need a hand?' She heard his voice inside her head.

'Didn't you say you're on the opposite team?' Her eyes searched for him but she couldn't find him.

'Now I'm not.' He spoke back.
