Clara’s eyes went wide in shock while her sword went flying off her hand. I then turned my sword and used its hilt again to strike a more powerful blow on Clara’s stomach. Her eyes went white and she fell down to the ground unconscious. "You did it Alicia. You won." William looked at me with surprise and praise. "I guess I did." I was panting lightly. I have won my first real one on one battle. Judging by Clara’s confidence, I was sure that she is a capable fighter. But I know I have an…-

"Well judging by the defense that you made, you have high magic aptitude. You really are of royal Atlantian blood." The young woman smirked. "By the way my name is Clara, your highness. I am here to escort you to our prince Gladiolus." "To prince Gladiolus you say?" I looked at her with contempt. "So he was the one that planned this attack." "If the prince wishes something, then he will have it." Clara said with confidence. "Well I am afraid I will disappoint you Ms. Clara." I smirked at her. "I…

I can hear the fighting that was going on outside. I can hear swords clashing and men screaming. I can only imagine what kind of battle was raging outside now. "I am sorry that I am of no help outside." William said. He was groaning in pain due to his ribs being broken. "It’s okay. I am sure Regaleon’s men are quite capable in battle." I smiled at him to relieve his worries. I was still pressing his wound on his forehead to stop the bleeding. "I just feel useless." William sighed. "Don’t…

(Regaleon’s POV) "Be careful." Alicia said when we parted lips. "I always am." I smiled at her. "Because someone is waiting for me to return." I took my sword that I layed on the ground. I stood up and walked towards the door. I looked back one last time before exiting the door. "Wait for me." I said with a gentle smile. "I will." Alicia smiled back. I walked outside and see my remaining knights guarding the entrance. "Guard the entrance well. Be sure not to let anyone in." I ordered…

The unthinkable happened, the falling debris that was just a few feet from above moved in slow motion. We passed thru just in time before the huge debris fell on the ground blocking the path from behind. "Whoa..." Regaleon and the rest have slowed down the pace of the horses and looked back at the building debris blocking the road. All of the people around me were dumbstruck as to what had just happened. Even I can’t seem to comprehend how the debris slowed down when it was just on top of us,…

The streets of the capital were bustling with people. I can see a variety of people left and right cheering as we pass them by. "Congratulations on your engagement princess Alicia." "You and prince Regaleon are well suited for each other." "We wish you good fortune on your road ahead and a bountiful wedding." The cheers and well wishes of the people gave me a sense of happiness from the bottom of my heart. Regaleon and I are both waving and smiling at the common people while we pass by.…

All the preparations for the parade are set. The only ones the people are waiting are me and Regaleon. When Regaleon and I walked hand in hand outside, I can feel the people’s stares towards me. This made me a bit nervous. The ones who are here now are the employees inside the palace and also Regaleon’s men. Outside will be common people of the people. Just thinking about how I will look to them made me a little stiff. "Don’t be nervous." Regaleon squeezed my hand that he was holding, giving me…

After my brief moment with father, Regaleon escorted me inside a receiving room to tend to my swollen eyes from crying. Not long a maid came in carrying a small towel and a tub of ice cold water. Regaleon took the tub and the small towel from the maid. "You may go." He ordered and the maid bowed down and left silently. I see Regaleon dip the small towel inside the tub of ice water. "I can do that myself." I shyly said. Regaleon was the crown prince of a powerful nation. It is a little…

"Alicia." A familiar voice called out to me. I have heard this voice many times since I arrived in this palace. But even after this many years I can’t help but feel the distance between us. I look around to find king father walking towards me. All the people that he passed by bowed down to him. "Greetings to you king father." I curtsied when he was just a few steps in front of me. "Rise my child." Father said I looked up and see father looking at me with love and affection that he has never…

Regaleon swiftly rested his blade on Gladiolus’ shoulder near his neck. Gladiolus was holding his injured hand. "To this, the winner is evident." Prince Regaleon hooked up one side of his mouth into a smile. "I concede." Gladiolus said with a bitter smile. "With this, the winner is no other than prince Regaleon." Grandpa Robert said. Regaleon extended his hand to Gladiolus for a hand shake. "Nice dueling with you." Gladiolus accepted Regaleon’s hand shake. "I feel the same. I can say…
