"Where's your bet?" The fat man asked immediately and that was when it dawned on Kaylan that she was actually coinless.
Oh,damn? Why didn't she think about this???
She looked at Jaden who was staring at her with an *I told you* look.
Then, she turned back to the man
"Um.... Let's just go on with the game first. I'm sure I'll win" she said and the man looked at her like she had actually gone mad.
"So, you want me to stake my money while you stake nothing? Are you stupid?" He chuckled.
"Hey, you have to trust me, okay? I'll..."
"And what if you lose?" One of the watchers asked and she gave a thought to it.
Can she actually lose?
"Well, if I lose, feel free to beat me up" she shrugged.
Then, the fat man smirked and leaned closer
"If I lose, you'll spend the n
Xander turned immediately, hearing the scream and his eyes glinted when he saw Kaylan.She crawled down from the window immediately, falling to the floor and almost hurting her leg due to the speed she used."Kaylan!" Jaden shriekedShe had been surprised at the way she screamed.Immediately, Kaylan ran to the nearest bush and threw up."Kaylan?!" Jaden called in Surprise.What the hell is wrong with her??Her hand was on her chest as she emptied everything in her mouth and by the time she stood up straight, she was panting heavily."Oh my God...Oh my God..." She gibbered, Jaden holding her so she doesn't fall."Hey! Kaylan, talk to me. What's wrong?""We need to go. We...We need to..." .she held Jaden's hand and they ran off immediately.***
The next morning.Kaylan sat in front of the mirror as Jaden helped her pack her hair."But Kaylan, are you sure about this? I hope we don't get caught?" Jaden asked as she passed the band through her hair, giving it a perfect style."Of course, not Jaden. And even if we do get caught, what we're doing isn't wrong. So, I don't grg why we should be punished. We're just going out to catch some fun" Kaylan rolled her eyes and stood up since Jaden was done with the hair."Hold on, I think we'll be needing a bag for today" She rushed to her closet and pulled out one of her favorite bags."Here - you should hold it" she gave it to Jaden who collected it and hung it around her neck.And off - they left the room**They walked into the tanvern and was a bit surprised of how full it was - compared to the previous day. Oh! Maybe more peo
Princess Sharon walked out of the palace, far away until and she was able to spot them.She held the tip of her bulky dress and marched towards them, counting her steps carefully and she exhaled deeply when she was finally standing in front of them - her maid, the strange woman and the strange guy."Good evening, princess" the woman greeted immediately and the young boy did same."Is he the one?" Sharon asked, dancing her eyes around the young cute looking boy."Yes, Princess. His name is Matthew" the maid replied."And are you sure he's really good at it? You know what we're up against". Sharon said."He's very good, princess. He was highly recommended. He's a Master at it" replied the maid with so much confidence.Her confidence made Sharon feel a little relieved."Hmm" she took her eyes around
Kaylan smirked as she looked at him from head to toe. Hmph. A young boy huh? Like he can do anything?"Are you still in for this? Female gambler?" One of the men asked grimly and Kaylan scoffed."And why wouldn't I be ready? I'm always ready". She replied confidently and looked at her opponent;"What's the bid?"The boy was already sitting in front of her and raising up his sleeves, he leaned forward on the table."I don't need coins" he muttered. "But soemthing more..."He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a glittering gold anklet.Holy Molly!!! A gold anklet!! Kaylan's eyes beamed immediately as she looked at it in disbelief. What the hell is he doing with something like that?? It was so beautiful!"A gold anklet!" One of the watchers exclaimed."Hey boy, what do you think you're
Princess Sharon had a huge smile on her face as she stood at the balcony and awaited the young boy to get to where she was.Her maid was standing behind her, and soon enough, the boy was standing in front of her."Good morning, princess" he greeted with a bow.His elegance gave Sharon some hope ."Good morning" she smiled warmly at him, her eyes searching his hands.Urgh! She needed to see it."How did it go?" She asked impatiently and finally, he gave her what she wanted.He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out the gold bracelet and Sharon's eyes beamed."You did it" she chuckled and collected it from him.Wow. It was so beautiful. Poor Kaylan.She turned to her maid with her palm stretched out and quickly, she placed the bundle on it and Sharon

Jaden was so restless as she paced tho and fro the corridors. Her heart was beating really fast.She'd been outside the torture room and had even heard Kaylan screaming. Goodness! It tore her apart! What the hell were they doing to her friend? Why is it so difficult for Lord Xander to forgive huh? And how did the bracelet get into her bag? Could it be a set up?She continued pacing tho and fro and after a while, saw Lord Xander walking out of the room.Oh! Was he done with her?She stood and watched ruefully as he left and as soon as he was out of sight, she ran towards the room."Kaylan! Kaylan!" She called, but didn't get a response.She was scared to go in, wondering if it'd be offensive it not. But thankfully, it wasn't long before the chief guard - Axel - came walking out with Kaylan lying on his shoulders.Whaat???
Xander needed some distractions. He'd sent for Anya and was in his room sharpening his sword when she arrived.She'd paused at the door, taken note of how he worked on the sword and a little scared he wanted to use it on someone. Well, she shouldn't be surprised, should she? Lord Xander was gradually leaving his human form and was becoming more of a life time fighter; a life time warrior."Good evening, My Lord" she greeted with a bow and as expected, got no reply from Xander.He died even move or look at her until he was done with what he was doing."On the bed, Anya" came the usual command and without hesitation, Anya pulled off her clothes and climbed on the bed, laying on her tummy as usual.A longer time passed before Xander also proceeded in taking off his own clothes and joining her on the bedHer legs were already apart, but he added more spacin
