By dawn of the following day, the news of the fight taking place between Lord Xander and Prince Berlin had gone really rival.
Kings and Rulers had gotten an invitation to the venue of the fight and they were all muddled, wondering why Prince Berlin would challenge someone like Xander to a fight.
They all know him - he was the master of swords, the demon fighter. Kingdoms were scared of going to war with him. So, why would Prince Berlin want to bring trouble for himself?
Some of them felt it was a waste of time going to see how a mere prince would be killed. But the others felt they would really want to enjoy the show.

That morning, Kaylan sat in the room with Jaden, talking over it with breakfast.
"But why would Prince Berlin challenge Lord Xander to a fight? Just because he wants revenge?" Jaden asked, munching on her bread.

Hilda's heart was beating so heavily as she stood at the balcony with the strange man.The walls were cracked and the area, almost unrecognizable. She couldn't even tell where she was.The strange man let out a smirk as he saw the fear on her face. And then he took out the wrapped potion and handed over to her."Tomorrow's the day; don't forget" he said."All you have to do is make sure you sprinkle this in Lord Xander's meal or drink, so he takes them just before he leaves for the battle. I know you don't want to do this,but don't forget the life of your only son is at stake.

Kaylan could feel her heart in her throat as soon as the words escaped his lips.Her heart stopped beating instantly, confusion and anxiety taking over. What did... What did he just say?"M...My Lord?" She stuttered, her eyes glued to his face."I don't... I don't think I understand".Xander said nothing, but only picked up some vegetables with his spoon.Kaylan was gobsmacked. Was this guy for real?Slowly, she turned and glanced at the door, a crazy idea popping in. Goodness! There was no way she could run away.

But the aspect of spending the night here, I hope th

Xander returned to the room with the scroll in his hand and met Kaylan pacing tho and fro.She'd been so restless and was walking about in the room when she noticed him walk in and she became still immediately. Was he there to release her?Xander could notice how tensed she was but decided not to pay attention it. He walked past her to his closet, dropped the scroll and took out his belt.Kaylan watched keenly, hoping he says something. But it was obvious he didn't have such plans as he took what he wanted and started walking towards the door."My.... My Lord": she called as she took a step closer and Xander stopped walking to look at her.For a few seconds, she was out of words as those pretty eyes stared at hers."Can I....Am I free to go now?" She asked with a hard gulp.Xander stared at her for a while before giving ou

You need to have some....""Just make me some tea, Hilda" he cut her off, calmly tho."Some tea and I'll be fine".Hilda exhaled deeply."As you wish, My Lord" she bowed and left the room with the tray.**Kaylan sat quietly on the bed, her hand on her jaw, looking like one in deep tho

Kaylan and Jaden got dressed afterwards, both trying to look as simple as possible. No matter what, Kaylan was determined to go watch the match. She wouldn't let anyone stop her for any reason."But, what if Lord Xander eventually gets to know we violated his orders by showing up at the fight?" Jaden asked as she helped Kaylan brush her hair in front of the mirror."Oh! Stop thinking negatively, Jaden. He's never going to find out, Okay? And even if he does, I'll make sure you don't get punished. Alright?""Fine" Jaden rolled her eyes."But...do you realize we haven't even had breakfast?""There's no time, Jaden. Don't worry, we'll find something to eat on our way; bills on me"."Mm. If you say so".Jaden finished brushing the hair and was about packing it when she noticed Kaylan's hairpin was missing.&

"Are you sure I'm looking good enough?" Jaden asked Kaylan as she twirled herself in front of the mirror."Stop being impossible, Jaden. We're only going there to watch a fight.Oh.... Forgive my manners; I actually forgot you're single and you're probably looking out for a husband" Kaylan teased, earning a glare from Jaden as they left the room."Do we make use of a horse?" Jaden asked as they walked outside."Of course, not I don't even know how to use a horse. Besides, using a horse right now would create too much suspicions from the guards and I don't want that. So, we'll just get a ride outside..." Kaylan replied.They walked out the gate, strolled down to the market side and there they were able to get a local carriage to ride them to the venue.************************Lord Xander stepped out of his carriage, his sh

It was poisoned! Kaylan thought.And that was the same drink.... Xander had taken!Oh, no; it can't be possible. Xander's about having a fight!!Her eyes rotated all around Jaden."Is she.... is she still alive?" She asked in deep breaths."Yes. The poison isn't meant to kill; it's only meant to cause dizziness and weakness. She's still fine" the woman replied and Kaylan got off her knees immediately, turning to the rider."Please, I beg you with everything you believe in; take me to the venue of the fight. Please..!" She said desperately with her palms placed together."What're you talking about?? Your friend's unconscious and you're thinking of the fight?" The rider asked with a ridiculous scoff."Please!! Just do it! Please, I beg you. Please".He could see tears glistening in her eyes

Kaylan sobbed on the unconscious body on the floor, holding him tight. She didn't exactly know what she was doing; wasn't thinking straight. But, the moment she'd seen Xander reach the floor, she couldn't get a grip of herself and had to rush in.Prince Berlin was disturbed, the murmurings from the crowd getting louder and louder."Get away, Princess" Berlin gritted, his sword still held up high."Because you're no friend of mine. I'll slash your through your neck, just to get to him"."He was poisoned!!!" Kaylan yelled out - tearfully."SOMEONE POISONED HIM!! Someone who wanted him to lose this fight".She could see the twitch in Berlin's eyes. The coordinator was already getting closer."Hey! What's going on??" He demanded."Step aside, Princess!
