The crowd seemed very excited for this. Felicia never had truly attended one of these contests before. After all, blood and killing, that was not proper for a princess. Her parents would make her attend more feminine activities in the past. Like judging people's flower bouquets or who baked the best good. However, her intended was one of the competitors this year. Although few people outside the castle knew that, it was expected Felicia would attend this contest. After all, seeing Alucard battle could give her a good reason to say she started to fall in love with him before she even spoke a word to him. Not that Felicia thought loved worked like that. However, people did like fairy tales and she had a story to sell them today.<br/><br/>Felicia nodded her head to Meredith. She had no idea that either man could use fire. Her father didn't encourage the use of magic in his castle. If she or her brothers had any magical abilities, they were very weak. Royals should lead, not worry about developing their own unique powers. She knew she could easily summon little objects, like a quill, to come to her hand just by thinking about it but that's about it. Her mother had yelled at for her even doing that. She had no idea what else she could do.<br/><br/>Felicia replied to Meredith.<br/><br/>"Well, that's good...I hope they'll be okay."<br/><br/>Even if she didn't share Alucard's love yet, she didn't think he was a bad man. She was starting to care about him and she didn't want to see him hurt. She gasped watching Hayes easily killed competitors. And she watched in fascination that Alucard could easily control the shadows around him. She was glad the two men were friends and thus not trying to kill each other.
