For some reason, Rita felt strange having the man she used to love in front of her and the one she loves now next to her. A situation she never thought would occur.

Nicklaus nodded thoughtfully but didn't reveal what he was thinking. Rita just kept her mouth shut. She didn't know what to say and Nicklaus didn't ask any further questions. He just led the way to the parlor and then ordered a servant to bring Tiana.

"So... can I ask how you two met?" Nicklaus asked breaking the awkward silence in the room.

"She ended up in my home while saving your wife," Kwan said emphasizing the last part as if to remind him.

Nicklaus turned to Rita. "Tiana told me everything. I never thanked you for helping her."

    "I think they are laughing at you," Kwan spoke."Why would they do that?" Nicklaus asked aiming at him again and missing again. He wanted to throw his sword away in frustration and give up. He could barely see when Kwan moved. How would he strike him then?"Because you are a terrible combatant.""Then aren't you supposed to teach me instead of laughing with them?" Nicklaus snapped."Come on! Son of the demon king and a Drektus witch. You are supposed to teach me and not the other way round. You are not channeling your inner strength. Power without strategy is useless."Nicklaus paused. "Do you always talk this much?"Kwan ignored his question and continued. "When you want to do something, you think about it while channeling your inner strength. When I avoid your attacks I am not actually moving, I am shifting position. That's why you can't detect my movement. Like this." He said and then suddenly he disappeared from his sight.Nicklaus looked around wondering where Kwan disappeared wh

    "Your Majesty. I need to clean the princess." The midwife said with a pleading look when Nicklaus didn't want to let go of his daughter.Tiana chuckled.

    And then the day came, after a few painful days, the pain hit Tiana like never before. She remembered telling the midwife to just take the baby out and make it all end and sometimes she really thought she would die. The pain was so much that she felt her mind go numb. Then she heard the cry of her child and the pain fled to the back of my head in a flash, so far back she didn't even know or care that she was in pain few seconds ago. The melodious cry of her baby was enough for her to forget all the pain she went through just seconds ago. All she wanted was to hold her child."You have given birth to a princess, Your Majesty." The midwife said sounding sympathetic. Everyone knew that Tiana always thought that her child was a boy while the emperor always wanted a girl and would always call it little princess and the couple would always end up quarrelling about the gender of their child. The midwife was just sympathetic because Tiana didn’t get a boy like she always wanted but a girl th
