I was waiting inside the stables as Leon had instructed. I hold the dagger he had left to me tightly. My heart was thumping very fast. I was worried about Leon. He said we were being followed since we left the river bank. ’Who would want to follow us? What are their intentions?’ I thought to myself. Then I remember the accident earlier. When I was nearly ran over by a running carriage. I felt someone pushed me. "Someone is after my life?" I said to myself. I was deep in my thoughts when…-

*This chapter will be in POV of Leon Alicia and I were walking on the road towards the horse stables where Midnight was. I can feel that a pair of eyes were looking at us. I was cautious along the way. We were getting near the stables and I can still feel the presence of the person looking at us. "Alicia, why not go inside the stable first." I said. "Okay." Alicia looked at me puzzled. "Whatever happens don’t go out okay." I told her sternly. "Is there a problem?" She asked. "Someone…

The night in town was festive. There were many lanterns lit along the roads. Many people are at the river bay waiting for the fireworks to start. "Wow, look at the crowd." I said in amazement. All the people around us are common folks. I see a variety of them, men and woman, young and old, lovers, and families all together. Little children are bundled up with their parents, happy and eagerly waiting for the fireworks to start. Then I remembered something in my childhood, when mother was still…

"Alicia!" Leon yelled. When I open my eyes I saw Leon hugging me protectively in his arms. "Leon." I looked at him on a daze. I can feel him so close to me. The heat of his body was warming mine.

Then I felt a flick in my forehead. "Aww." I held my throbbing forehead. "What were you thinking being absent minded in a…

Leon and I exited at the back gate of the palace. Because we will go incognito, we must also get out of the palace silently. When we were out of the palace, we walked a little distance and we arrived at a place were a tall man with a ponytail was standing with a horse. "Thank you." Leon smiled. The tall man gave the reigns of the black horse to Leon. "Isn’t this your horse Midnight?" I asked. "Yes he is." Leon said. "You are very observant." He smiled at me. I looked at the tall young…

The next few days were eventless. My daily routine was the same. In the morning I have my studies, in the afternoon it was physical training. I have just finished my breakfast when Leon entered the dining hall. "Good morning princess Alicia." Leon bowed slightly. "Good morning sir Leon." I answered. "I will in the classroom shortly." "That won’t be necessary." Leon smiled. "Won’t be necessary?" I looked at him confused. "And why is that?" I asked. "Because we will be going out of…

It was night time and Leon was in his room. He thought about the happenings that happened earlier in the day. He never thought that Alicia will learn fast with the lessons he had thought her. It only she was given the proper education when she was young, he was sure that Alicia would be the most knowledgable of all the princesses. And not to mention, her sword skills are improving day by day. In fact she can really surpass his own sword skills if she becomes diligent in her practices. Leon walked…

Richard and I were at his courtyard done eating some snacks. The sun was just about to set. "Sister, is master Leon a great teacher?" Richard asked for the nth time. Since we were alone, Richard has been bombarding me with questions about Leon. He looked very excited with the idea of Leon being his master in the art of sword. "I have told you for how many times now, he is a great teacher. He is not only good with the sword but knowledgable as well." I giggled. "Our morning studies has never been…

"You know very well that there is another Atlantian here old general." Leon said. "You mean..." Robert knew what Leon meant by ’another Atlantian’. "Yes old general, your granddaughter princess Alicia." Leon answered with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "But how?" Robert asked. "No one has thought her to use magic before." "Let me explain it to you general." Leon said. "Imagine a bottle of champagne. The champagne is the magic power and the bottle is the body of the person with magic."…

The queen and her entourage left my courtyard at last. I sighed in relief. I felt my knees lost it’s strength and gave away. I was falling down when someone behind me caught me. "You did good." Leon whispered to me from behind. He was the one that caught me before I fell on the ground. Leon helped me up. "Alicia, sister." Richard ran towards me. "Wow, what you did was amazing. I can’t believe you actually stood up against queen mother and sisters. And when you gave Elizabeth that dual slap. Pack…
