" I need your help "
" Oh really!!. I thought the great Cyrus doesn't want my help" The voice was full of sarcasm.
"Did you forget your promise to my father?".
" That's the only reason why I am tolerating such a lowly creature like you".
" I don't want to waste my time Elgar. You know what you have to do, right??."
" Yes Prince Cyrus. But, You have to promise me my freedom".
" I will consider it once I win the war". He replied
" You know one thing; " He paused for a second and continued" You are more evil than me Prince Cyrus".
Cyrus ignored his words and said in a commanding tone.
" You don't have to remind me about that. Now ,go and do your job before I show my true self to you".
The shadow disappeared into thin air.
' I can't lose the war. Sorry my dear , I have to sacrifice you. But , my love for you is real. ' Cyrus said in his mind.
He opened the door and saw her sleeping
like a small kid. He kissed her forehead and left the room silently.
Cassandra felt someone's presence in her room. She opened her eyes and saw no one.
' May be I am overthinking again ' She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Cassandra woke up early. She was full of spirit. Today is the first day of the festival. Famous archers from different parts will participate in archery.
Cassandra was skilled in Archery, sword fighting, horseback riding. She was a good in arts too.
Cassandra was so happy today . Finally , she got a chance to prove her ability.. But she knew her father. She was sure that her father won't allow her to participate in the sports. So , she changed her attire like a warrioress. Her face was covered . Even if she covered her face, her almond eyes were sparkling which could attract a lot of attention.
Turshy was a big festival in Zordom. A lot of noble ladies and men will participate in the arts and sports. It was a place where everybody like to show off their talents.
It was a known secret that many of the princess and emperors will watch those sports. Many of them didn't have a fiancee. So , everyone will try to catch the attention of them.
Cassandra wanted to compete among them, not for finding her partner. She wanted her to be the perfect Queen of Zordom, who could fight for her kingdom, when the time comes.
Cassandra always learned from her mistakes ,so that she can improve her skills the next time.
Cassandra rode her horse to the place. Many eyes were ogling at her. They didn't see a noble lady in their life ,participating in men's sports. Noble ladies from prominent families always participated in arts. Everyone was surprised by the sudden arrival of a lady dressed as a warrioress.
" Hey , beautiful... it's not a place for you. Go back to that place where u came from. " Prince Nathan mocked at her.
" What a beautiful eyes!!!! . Come with me Lady. I can make you one of my concubine". The Crown prince of Morem said.
' Bastard' Cassandra gritted her teeth.
" Oh really!!! I can gauge out your eyes with my arrows . Do you want to take such a risk??". Her voice sounded like she was really going to make him blind by her arrows.
" You are so confident about yourself. Huh???"
" Oh My Majesty, Are you not really afraid of losing your eyes?? But, it's not good for the kingdom to have a blind king". There comes her reply.
" You!!!"
Crown Prince of Morem boiled with rage..
' How dare she insulted me infront of everyone?? I won't let you go lady.You are going to face the wrath of Adrian ; the Prince of Morem' He swore to himself.
" Wow!!!She is really fierce". The crowd whispered.
' Who is this lady???' Prince Damian was full of eager.
A pair of eyes were focused on Cassandra. He was observing those eyes, that voice...
' You are really torturing me my siren . I am seeing you everywhere. Am I day dreaming???' Arthur rubbed his eyes.
His eyes got widened . 'It's really my siren. Is she going to participate in the Archery???'.
Cassandra felt a sharp gaze over her. She looked at the place of the origin . But ,there was no one....
Arthur smiled to himself, after hiding in a corner. He knew that ,she will look back for him.
' I can't distract her. I want to see my siren's performance. ' Arthur smiled....
