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
"Seriously Kaylan, you're too stubborn" Jaden grouse as she paced restlessly in the room, tho and fro. Kaylan was still lying on the bed, face down and still wouldn't touch the medicines. From time to time, Jaden would run to the window to cheek if the Physician was coming already, but thankfully he wasn't. "Gosh! Kaylan, don't be so stubborn. Why wouldn't you just take this medications huh and prevent further troubles? What if the physician really arrives with Lord Xander?" She queried. She couldn't believe she was so worried for her friend, like she was actually the one lying on the partial sick bed. "I don't care if he comes with his warriors, Jaden. No matter what he does, I'm never taking those medications and that's final!" She rasped with a frown. Jaden shook her head and continued pacing around, then decided to check the window again and this time around
Xander returned to his seat as soon as the chief guard left. Could this be true? When did such a thing happen?For a man like him, he wasn't supposed to be bothered, but yeah, he was. Although it didn't reflect on his expression or anything; it could only be felt inside of him.After a while, Axel returned with the chief council who was heavily adorned like he was on his way to or from a meeting."He's here, My Lord" Axel bowed and with the wave of a hand, Xander dismissed him."Greetings, My Lord" the chief council bowed as he stood in front of Xander.Although, he was way older than Xander, he was wise enough to know it wasn't in the size, but the stature."You may rise, counsel" Xander replied and the elderly man didn't hesitate to lift his head Immediately."I got your letter. How serious is it?" Xander asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Sharon, are you sure about this? It sounds ridiculous to me" King Ephraim said as he walked into his chambers with his daughter behind him - whining like a child."Yes, father. please. I'm very sure. I really need this" princess Sharon grouse, her face crumbling up."But why would you make such a request in the first place, huh? Why would you want to be under someone as possessive as Lord Xander?" King Ephraim asked, stopping and turning to spare her a glance."I.... I just want to. Please father, don't say no. This would really mean a lot to me" Sharon clasped her palms together and said with pleading eyes.Oh...! She really needed this man to agree.King Ephraim didn't say a word as he took off his Royal robe and gold belt as well. And as he did, Sharon could only stand and watch in anticipation.."You can leave, Sharon. I'll think about it and get back to
