A Little Change [TCF/LCF Fanfiction]

6•The Golden Shield•6

(Lovely mortals! The next chapter, chapter 7, was honestly my favorite so far... Well, I'll publish that maybe at the end of this week.

I started a little side business so I'm stuck at writing chapter 10. I'm having fun tho, so I'll probably update this story frequently. Maybe every week?

Well my updating schedule was quite irregular and I don't follow any certain rule or day whatsoever.)

Welp... Enjoy the chapter! (I hope)

  Boom-

  Booooom-

  Two explosions that could not be compared to the one from earlier simultaneously went off in the plaza. Every body couldn't help but cover their heads with their hand.

  And then silence.

  The plaza filled of people was absolutely quiet that not even breathing could be heard. Everyone stared at the miracle above them.

  Claaang-

  Both shields started to slowly break like pieces of glass. The wings of the silver shield crumbled as well. As they started to disappear, black smoke started to come out of the encirclement.

  There definitely was a person inside, however, nothing, not even a piece of flesh or even a drop of blood, could be seen. Everybody looking felt chills going down their body. That fact itself helped them understand the strength of the explosion.

  Their gaze naturally turned towards two directions. The end of that silver and golden strands of light.

  "Your Highness!"

  "Young Master Cale!"

  Two voices broke the silence on the plaza. One of them was Rosalyn, who quickly started to support Cale, as one of Cale's knees gave out and he was starting to fall. The other was the disguised dark elf, Tasha, who quickly ran to her nephew's side.

  Both of them were looking back and forth to their respective individuals and the gold and silver shields that were slowly dissipating. These were two strong explosions.

  But that means that the recoil would be equally severe as well.

  "Your highness, are you alright? What happened? What was that gold light?"

  Tasha couldn't help but asked one after another. She was still in the state of shock and disbelief. Even the male in question, Alberu, can't help but stare at the dissipating gold shield.

  Meanwhile, the culprit who made the gold shield slowly landed on the ground, still in his tiny form. Leifen weakly fell on the ground, unable to support himself.

  "Ugh... cough!"

  Blood. Leifen just coughed up blood. But unlike Cale who coughed because of the "Vitality of the Heart", Leifen's cough was purely because of the recoil of the explosion.

  He was still a 19 years old, he didn't really expect his adult-only-in-appearance body to handle such burden. Thankfully, his body's natural regeneration speed was comparable, or even better, than Cale's Vitality of the Heart.

  His only problem now was how to handle the consequences of his actions. He just practically revealed himself in that action just now. Although, he was well aware that the others would think that the gold shield was from the crown prince, Alberu.
