It being three weeks since the celebration, Agememnom had an assignment to perform, but his mother, the queen refused it and chose to keep prince Agememnom in class till dawn. In the dinning, the king gathered his family.
"My queen, you've caused an unnecessary delay to the training of Elixia". The king started the conversation and chewed a bite from his food.
"Prince Agememnom won't be going there". The queen said opposively. "He accepted the punishment, so why are you being an hindrance?". The king asked.
"He is your son, my king. How would he go there to serve her?". "He isn't going to serve her, he is just going to be training her". "As a knight. My king can't you see, she want to use the prince as her puppet". "He brought it upon himself. I won't be having this discussion again and he will start his duty today". "My king". "Yes father. I will resume my duties to Elixia today". "Agememnom". "Mother I caused it. So let me take the punishment". "You're a prince, you can do whatever you want". "Exactly my point mother. I want to do this".
Agememnom stared at his mother pleasingly. "I forbid such". The queen said "With my seal on it?". The king questioned. "My king". "He has accepted the punishment, and I see no reason to push this issue forward". "Why don't you try persuading". The queen didn't finish her words when Agememnom got off his seat. "I wonder why you are being so adamant mother". "What?". The queen was stunned at his statement. Agememnom didn't give a reply and walked out of the dinning room.
Dressing causally, he had gotten a horse ready and had mounted it when Run Ni Tama came rushing with his.
"I don't think you would be able to train her alone". Run Ni Tama said. "Of course. I won't be able to handle the lioness alone". Agememnom said. "Lioness?". "I shiver a little when she's angry. You would be of help in helping me look unfazed". Agememnom said and they moved out of the palace compounds slowly.
"I presume your first day would more of a talk day". Run Ni Tama said. "
You mean she daunting me, right?". "More like it. We had better hurried who knows what she has next in mind for you". Run Ni Tama said and their horses galloped.

"Elixia do you think the prince would still bothers on coming as three weeks has passed?". Vistuler asked worriedly. "He had better, else I would think of another punishment for him". Elixia said confidently as she sang her sword in the air. " But you know Elixia, every other girl would die to get a glance from him, but he kissed you and you want to use it as a punishment to him. You are so... I can't even say".
"My lady miss Gruticent summons you to her room". A maid said. "I would be right back Elixia". Vistuler said and left
"I want to use it to my advantage. He has got some moves that I can't fathom. He is a war sly. A professional at that". "You would be a fast learner Elixia, but I doubt you would be better than I am". Agememnom declared his presence.
Elixia stood straight and turned to take notice of the guys behind.
"You both should keep your distance". Elixia suggested. Walking to where the weapons were arranged she pulled out a sword for Agememnom.
Run Ni Tama went to have his seat. She threw the sword at Agememnom and he caught it with a smirk.
Launching her attack he was quick to deceive her and got her back to face him. "I was planning on a greater punishment for you my prince". Elixia turned to say with a devilish smile.
"Stepping into this compound marks me as your knight. So I would prefer you call me that since you refuse my proposal". Their sword clashed again. Elixia was faster than what she was the last time but he was fast to dodge her hits.
"You and I are still minors". Elixia replied. Trapping her between the wall a table and himself with their sword crossed close to her chest.
"Does that mean I still stand a chance to marrying you?". He said and removed the strands of hair that fell on her face.
Run Ni Tama thought it was high time he gave them some space. He got up and decided to stroll through the corridor. When he was dragged into a corner by someone.
The soft hands were placed on his lips. To prevent him from giving a reaction. "Hi". Vistuler said. "Hi". He charmingly smiled at her when he realised she was the one.
"Do you mind if I walk you around?". She questioned shyly as she played with her fingers like a baby. "No I don't". He replied.
"I'm Vistuler and you are?". "Run Ni Tama".
Vistuler spoke as she showed him round, while Run Ni Tama couldn't get enough of her as he constantly looked at her. She was charmingly beautiful and lousy and he loved that. Vistuler on the other was trying her best to make him feel comfortable. Not knowing he was comfortable with her just by his side.

Elixia and Agememnom's fight was gradually turning into laughter and Agememnom tried his best so she would laugh.
"You look more beautiful when you smile. You should keep on flashing me this smile as your teacher. It would really motivate me to train you better". Agememnom said. "You have no choice". Elixia said and dropped the smile.
"It's noon already, let's grab something to eat". She said and took her sword to its rightful position. "You shouldn't leave the class with that face". Agememnom threw his to the ground and ran after her as he shouted.
Mr Johnbones and his wife, Gruticent were present at the dinning. Already having their lunch. They were taking about the something random when Vistuler and Run Ni Tama came in laughing. Vistuler held the loudest laughter while Run Ni Tama held a quiet one.
The couple stared at both of them with utmost surprise, but both children didn't take notice of them. Vistuler still kept talking and Run Ni Tama gave a keen ear to what she said.
When they had drawn closer to the dinning chairs they took notice of the couple already present. By then the couple had already positioned themselves properly.
Run Ni Tama courtesied and pulled out a chair for Vistuler then himself. The couple stared at each other in horror and turned back to face the children. Who were already lost in their conversation.
"Did you both come for lunch or to converse?". Lady Gruticent asked with her arms across her chest.
"Of course we came to have lunch". Then a maid motioned to serve them. Vistuler kept on talking and Run Ni Tama kept on listening and the scene in front of them kept on being a shock to them.
"They are just kids". Gruticent whispered to Johnbones. "Let's get them distracted". Johnbones said and Gruticent agreed nodding.
"Hiiiii". Lady Gruticent said to steal Run Ni Tama's attention. He turned to face them smiling charmingly. "What is your name? You know I've never got to". "Run Ni Tama". Run Ni Tama cut her short of her words and answered then turned to face Vistuler who resumed her position.
The couple gave up as they saw they weren't willing to let anything in their mist
As they kept on thinking about what they could do to stop this conversation while they were having lunch. Elixia walked in. As though she was was running. Then Agememnom followed.
"As your teacher you should obey me and smile more often". He said as he ran in after her. Elixia's head was down facing the floor showing her level of being disturbed by this new teacher of hers.
"Elixia, it isn't nice of you to disobey your teacher". Agememnom still taunted Elixia. And she continued walking fast into the room.
"Wow, Elixia I see you are enjoying your new teacher". Elixia looked up realising who the voice belonged to.
Then a smile found its place to her lips and she turned to look at Agememnom and touched his shoulders.
"Of course, father". She said and went behind Agememnom. Agememnom's face held another expression.
A confused one.
He didn't understand why she suddenly changed and was smiling so widely. And also pushing him.
He turned around and paused her.
"This is how you should seat as a warrior". He said and turned the chair around and sat. Then Elixia did so and was smiling so much that her eyes wrinkled.
Vistuler looked at her confused and had to touch her head for her temperature.
"You're okay. Why are then behaving like this?". She asked. "Because my new teacher is handsome and flirty. I guess I would go a long way with teacher of mine". She said still staring at Agememnom. Agememnom on the other hand was awestruck and he looked at Run Ni Tama who questioned him with his eyes and he and with his eyes in the negative.
"Here teacher, have some". Elixia fed him.
"He even eats like a baby, father can you see that?". She turned to face Johnbones and Johnbones frowned and took Gruticent away.
Now Agememnom got what was happening. When they were out of sight the smile on Elixia's face fell and Agememnom smiled ready for mischief.
"Won't you continue feeding your teacher?". "You have hands. I only did that because my father was around".She said as she shoves the food to Agememnom. Vistuler and Run Ni Tama almost laughed but Elixia and Agememnom shot them a hard glare.
