Chapter 9 - Chapter 8: Archery

After that day, The Prince made her rest for a day. But she's just thinking of that thing he said.

Everytime she thinks of it makes her feel useless. Like, she's sent here just to be an instrument? That sucks.

"Yumeko Brie, The King is looking for you. He said, You must head in the Quadrangle to Join the show." One of the General's Commanders said. She nodded and leaves the place.

Heading towards the Quadrangle, Seeing many guards around and The Princess is there also, holding up her royale bow.

The King is at the top while watching, Same with the Prince.

The King saw her. "Greetings, Brie. Have you ever played an Archery?"

She shook her head as a No but she can, she just don't wanna show off to them, all of them..

"The Princess needs to Train herself, Act like you are the opponent." and there it is again, Her eyes darkens when she heard the word 'Instrument' in the king's sentence.

She stood beside the Princess who's giving her a side glance and looking up and down at her. Saying that she's good at it and she's a royale.

"Like i care.." She mumbled to herself, enough for the Princess to hear it.

The drums started to roll, The Princess and Yumeko grabs an arrow and placed it on their bow.

Aiming at the first dummy target. The Princess showed off, she released the arrow, It strikes on the middle. Making her smirk at her.

Yumeko grins to herself and purposely messed her first shot, it went across the dummy, making the princess laughs.

"What a blind person."

The second dummy came. The princess didn't let her shot an arrow, The princess didn't strikes the 2nd dummies but the last was the strike one

Yumeko lets her say those things. She looks up to the King. "Your Majesty, Mind giving me 3 shots?"

The King frowns, same as the Princess. Prince Ethan looks at her. Same with her, she's staring at him. "You have my word, Go On."

She walks near the first one, Taking one arrow, shooting it, Strike. Without giving others a glance, she went on the second dummy and it strikes again. As for the last dummy.

"You can't shoot that, Because I stroke it." The Princess said, enough for the royals to hear it, thinking that it may ashame her.

She didn't mind her talking and walks towards the flame and puts the arrow there, Lit it on fire. She pulled the string and points it towards the princess.

She stepped back. But Yumeko turned the arrow towards the dummy. She took too long to let go of the string.

But soon,

"How did she do that?"

"Unbelievable right?"

"She's no temporary person."

"Yes, She has the talent."

The arrow that the princess shot was splits on half by the burning arrow of yumeko.

Her eyes went to the princess who's ashamed to face everyone. "Says the one who can't even make the minister praise such a princess like you."

She puts the bow back to where she get it. Walking out of the Quadrangle, walking near the Library.

Just can't believe, she made the princess feel shameful out of jealousy.
