The return of Ace’s memories has been kept as a secret. Only a handful of us knows that his memories have returned. It was all for the sake of keeping the chalice a secret to everyone as we still have no idea who’s the traitor just yet.
Therefore, Ace has to pretend that he still doesn’t have his memories.
And I have to say. I was dying inside whenever he pretended to smile and wave at the people greeting him. It was killing him on the inside that we actually have to give him some sort of stress ball just so his fuse won’t suddenly blow up.
“Stop laughing at me!” Ace hissed as we both made our way out of the meeting room the next day.
“Prince Ace.” It was Prince Gregory, who suddenly appeared behind us and grasped his
It was the next day and it was time for the others to leave as well. Ace pushed my back lightly as I was hesitating to approach the twins.“Go on. They won’t bite. If they do then I will break their jaws.” Ace’s face hardened as he said this.“Very reassuring.” I told him. Ace smirked at me before he tilted his head towards the princes.“Go on then. It will be a while before we see them again.” He urged.At his words, I made my way to Ren and Dan, who were both busy packing their belonging in the carriage. When they saw me, they paused what they were doing just to stand in front of me.“Hi.” I waved at them and tried to smile.
All of us rushed to the King’s chambers where we found my aunt with her head laying down on the bed, crying. King Luke was already sitting up and trying to console her wife when we all barged in.King Luke raised his head at us and laughed. “I hope everyone is this lively when I have my funeral.” My aunt immediately slapped him at his joke.Stella began to run and hug him while Nate, Ace, and I went inside before closing the door behind us.“Hi there, dear uncle. Your favorite niece is here.” I grinned happily.“I know. She’s in my arms already.” He joked. But even though it was a joke, I still pouted.I mean, was that really a joke?
Custard and I rode on Viex’s back as we ran into the woods. “Hold on tight, Custard.” I said and fought off the strands of my hair whipping my face as I looked ahead and grinned.“Kellar, I am going to catch up. Control your magic!” I called out to him. Upon hearing my voice, I saw that he and Javi immediately quickened their pace.Viex smirked arrogantly. ‘Amateurs. Think they would outrun me.’ He says. His tails immediately surrounded us as he ran faster. In no time, we were already running side by side with Kellar.“Hi!” I waved at him.Kellar let out a joyous laugh. He was clearly having too much fun that he began to
When the training was over I immediately headed for the library where the others are. It was the only safe place where we can talk in private. Just the three of us.I knocked on the door with the same pattern as Ace taught us so we’ll know that it was one of us. I waited for a long time but no one answer. Frowning, I kicked the door open to look cool, and then I heard a loud sound.What the hell was that?I was about to check what I have hit when I heard Nate almost dying in laughter when I came in. He was trying to calm his breath as he addressed me. “Hey, Princess. How’s your day?” He grinned.“Tiring.” I answered and began to look around. “Where’s Ace?”“Right her
I block and parried the incoming attack of sir Terrence, then I backed away and brought my own sword down. Now, Terrence was the one blocking my attack. Kellar charged at him and swung his foot to attempt to trip him.Unfortunately, Terrence jumped and moved away that Kellar tripped me instead. I fell down and came crashing into him.“Ow…” I groaned as I got up.“Princess, I am sorry!” Kellar began to apologize. And once he does, it is a never-ending cycling.“It’s fine. Get up.” I told him as I pulled him to his feet. “You know, maybe we should have planned this ahead and worked together to take him down.” I said while pointing at Terrence.Today was a two-on
“How do I look?” I asked Ace as I placed a helmet over my head. It was the kind of helmet where only the front and neck are exposed. Amongst all the others helmets, it was the only one that I like because it doesn’t hinder my vision. Ace stood in front of me as he rubbed his chin in concentration. He was helping me pick my gears for the incoming raid in Tereau. “Try to circle around.” He told me. “Brother? You do know that it’s just a helmet, right?” Darem asked him. Today, the elven brothers are here as they came to deliver some gears for me that were requested by Ace. Since it was a secret, his brothers personally came here. Ace turned to his brother. “Shut up!” He snapped at him before looking back at me with a softer expression. “Turn around.”
I looked in the mirror and at the chainmail that now covered my body. The maids were preparing me for the upcoming raid tomorrow as they placed and packed all the needed items in my bag.For now, we’re supposed to head for the camp that was set up for all the individuals involved to gather.That was why I was troubled when I had to wear chainmail over my shirt because it is not like we are going to war right away.“Princess, what do you think?” Keela, one of my maids, asked.“I feel like all I need now is one of those belts for belly dancing to complete the set.” I said because every time I move, I could hear it rattling.And it was annoying.
Nate and I headed for the larger tent in the area. He told me that it was where all the royals are supposed to gather for the briefing.Nate opened the tent for me go to inside, but before I could even enter, I heard two familiar voices behind me. “I almost cried. You look so much more independent compared to the last time that we saw you. I just hope that you really are what you look like from the outside.”It was Custard who first reacted. He lets out a howl and ran behind me. ‘Master Ren!’I turned just in time to see Ren picking Custard up on the ground as Custard showered him with adoring kisses. The twins were humbly wearing plain shirts like what we usually wore in training. And judging by the looks on their faces, I can only guess that t
