Chapter 3 - The beginning of dilemma Part I

A fence was in its zenith in the middle of the gargantuan arena. The stone stadium was full of high-class people. There was a golden dome in the top of the stadium where the king and his retinue. They were watching with ease, however, the princess was so nervous. When the knight who she was waiting for came, she eagerly corrected her seat. But soon she kept her emotions after she saw her father's scary glimpse.

The fence has been finished. And Knights ranking has resorted depending on their victories. Then all went to their tent to take his heavy armour off. Maroon was walking among when the princess appeared in front of him.

- Highness!

He cried with surprised. So she cautiously approached, pulled him away and whispered:

- Tell me! Is he going to be exclusion?

- Who?

He wondered:

- The cavalier Lucas?

She subdued her worried. But her reaction wasn't hidden from his eyes. so he slightly smiled and comfort her:

- Princess doesn't need to worry about that. Everything going to be alright.

But she looked at him coldly, and firmly asked:

- Is he going to be exclusion?

He hesitated before he answered:

- He is not going to exclusion, but the cavalier Lyon is going to have his current rank.

She sighed. She couldn't help but feel sad. Just to remember all the hard work that she taught him faded away like that made her want to cry blood. Maroon tried to comfort her again:

- But princess know the cavalier Lucas is good, right? He could claim another status.

She sighed again:

- I don't know about his will. He always disappointed me.

Maroon couldn't say anything else. But the princess left helpless immediately. Then a sound jumped from behind:

- What? does she still care about him?

- Lyon!

Maroon's voice was full of repulsion. Then he looked towards Lyon who was smiling and add:

- Sure princess is going to care about him, isn't the cavalier Locus her son?

Lyon raised his shoulder carelessly and said:

- Royal life is so complicated.

- By the way, let me give you free advice. stay away from princess road. Your ending will not be good.

But Lyon kept calm. so Maroon couldn't help but sigh.

...

He threw his armour to his servant. Then busily run away. All cavaliers were looking at each other with a lot of questions.

- What makes our Highness that hurry?!

They couldn't know. But He was looking forward to seeing her again. Besides, the fence made him late, so he didn't want to lose the chance. When he arrived. He sighed with relief. She was still sitting under the peach tree. She seemed lost in her world. He took a deep breath. Then calmly approached.

- So you are here!

He playfully said:

- Do you want to see me that much?

Her facial was freeze. she blinked several times before she understood his words. When she saw his sarcastic facial expression of his face. Her face became red. Then she moved her face aside. He couldn't help but smiled. Then he sat next to her. when she showed him her booklet which she used it to hide her red face. a rabbit was drawn, there was some kind of arrows to describe its motion. He stared at the sketch trying to figure out the meaning. Then he looked at her and wondered:

- Do you mean that my footsteps are so fast?

She timid shooked her face. So He laughed:

- Never mind! I will relieve my speed.

Then he calmly asked:

- Do you like it like this?

She slowly looked at him. seeing her circle eyes, her peachy cheeks and the movement of her head. He couldn't help but smiled. He lied on the ground and said:

- Just continue what you were up to. I will be quit.

He covered his eyes with his hands and joyfully added:

- Hah! Look! I don't even see.

Her nerve became calm. She smiled and continue her drawing. They stayed like that for a while. He looked at her from the gaps of his fingers. Her small back was facing him, so he couldn't see what she is drawing. But her sober and staid made him keep his eyes on her. Until he raised himself. He thought he can now have a slight look. But when got up, his breath touched her neck. This light touch made her shooked. she instinctively approached her booklet near to her chest, However, she noticed that her move dirtied her dress and destroyed her sketch. Poor girl! She was spending her days to draw this landscape! He noticed his doing. So he looked at her shamefully.

- I am sorry!

She couldn't help but look at her booklet and clothes with sad face trying to shake her clothes. But it is too much embarrassing to shake her chest part in front of him.

- I am sorry!

He stood up and contritely looked at her. She looked at him with her innocent eyes when she saw his hand in front of her.

- Could you let this shameful man correct his mistake?

She tightened her lips. The light in her eyes told how much she hesitated. But in her mind, she didn't think he was harmful. Maybe she should give him a chance.

So She put her hand on his. He thankfully smiled. This smile was the most beautiful smile he ever did. it made her thought eased a bit. He walked while he was holding her hand. She was looking at his hand all way. She got nervous but he didn't notice. until he declared that they arrived.

He let her hand. But she forgot about it when she looked at this magical heaven in front of her. colourful light glittered between treas. And beautiful bluebirds were flying back and forth. Bright chrysanthemum bloomed along the side of soil road that was leading to a nice peacefully woody cottage. She spun around to look everywhere like she didn't want to miss seeing anything. Her circle eyes brightened with excitement. Until they arrived at the cottage.

- The place is not tidy, but please set there until I come back.

She stared at the woody room. it was full of joinery. A few seconds then she heard a charming woman's laugh. Then a maidservant appeared with a bright smile.

- Oh dear!

The woman was in the age of her mother, so she looked at her with pity. Then she invited her to follow her.

- Let me change your clothes first.

Nawras looked at her dress. She barely remembered it. She obediently followed the woman. When they started to climb the stairs. The woman looked at him, winked and said:

- And You! stay here! Don't follow us!

He rubbed his head and smiled. He knew that she was just playing around because he asked her that risky mission. But the person who was affected was Nawras who timidly lowed her head.
