"So your student turned out to be bipolar". Run Ni Tama said as he jumps off his horse after Prince Agememnom. "Turns out that is the case". Agememnom turned to face Run Ni Tama and shrugs his shoulders as he spoke. They both walked further into the palace compounds.
"And your company turns out to be a talker". Agememnom said to Run Ni Tama. "And she's quite interesting and extremely funny". Run Ni Tama added. "One would tell from the way you kept listening and quietly laughing at her words". Agememnom said.
"Your student is persistent in learning to be a war sly like you are". Run Ni Tama pointed. "And I'm persistent on making her mine". Agememnom added and Run Ni Tama shook his head laughing at Agememnom.
"You don't believe I can do that?". Agememnom asked as he paused in his tracks. "No that's not what I mean. I reacted that way because I never thought Agememnom would you would find something to want to achieve at this age". Run Ni Tama pointed.
"It a sign of growth". Agememnom said and walked passed Run Ni Tama. Run Ni Tama paused in astonishment. Marvelling at Agememnom's words.
Agememnom realising Run Ni Tama wasn't walking by his side, stopped and turned to look at him. "Is everything okay?". He asked with due concern.
Run Ni Tama ran towards him. "Did you just say it's a sign of growth?". He asked looking questioningly.
"Of course". Agememnom answered with a slight frown on his forehead. "So you intend on growing now". "Yes". Run Ni Tama scoffed at his reply. "What has gotten into you?". Run Ni Tama asked and pushed one of Agememnom's shoulders.
"If I don't grow, neither will Elixia. And I want to see how she would be as a lady, then a mother and how she would look with her brown hair turning grey". Agememnom said dreamily as he continued to walk with Run Ni Tama.
Both boys continued to talk as the walked closer to the palace building. Then the palace doors opened, and a lady stood in the entrance authoritatively. Flashing one of her beautiful smile at the boys who chatted happily.
Agememnom and Run Ni Tama takes notice of her and courtesies. "Run Ni Tama, dusk is about to fall upon the face of the earth. You had better head home". The queen suggested with a sincere smile.
"I just wanted to see Agememnom walk into the palace. Only then will I set for home". He said with a polite smile. "That's nice of you. I shall order some guards to escort you home". "Thank you your highness". He bowed once more and sets to leave.
Agememnom had a tired look slammed on his face and walked in. "You must be exhausted. I've ordered the maids to make a bath for you". The queen said. "Thanks mother. It will be nice if I have my bathe now". He said and headed straight for the stairs.
"Make sure to head back down for dinner". "I hope so". He shouted his answer as he planned on having a long sleep after his bath.
*********
"Elixia he just seems to appearing more handsome each passing time. Did you see the way he laughed at my jokes? He looked breathtaking. His smile so cute. And from his physical appearance, he looks as though he would have muscles and abs. Oh my world just swirls at his scent". Vistuler said to Elixia dreamily. Elixia couldn't help but hide her frustrated look with a tiring look.
"You even smell him?". "Of course, but without his knowledge. Haha. He is so". "Yes, he is". Elixia agreed out of frustration.
"You agree?". Vistuler sat up from Elixia's bed and sat on the bed.
"Of course, he is". Elixia said with a smile plastered on her face and got up to move to where Vistuler sat.
Pulling her up, she escorted her to the door and gently placed her out. "And did he also tell you sleep helps his handsomeness?". She asked dizzily. Vistuler shook her head.
"If you also want him to see you the way you see him. I advise you go to bed now!". She said and slams the door.
"You are just jealous you can't fall in love like the way I do". Vistuler shouted from the other end. "That's what you think of yourself, Vistuler, but I would say you are rather good at noticing physical things than thing from the heart". Elixia replied and danced to her bed.
*******
"Ah, this is the bath best after having causing troubles to Elixia". Agememnom said as he is seated in the bath. When the bath got rather cold he stepped out to get his night pants and shirt.
Putting on his pants was easy, but his shirt wasn't just it. He tried to fix the last button that was too close his chest but the button wasn't just obeying. Leaving it he heads to his bed and crashes on it to have his sleep.
When Elixia's face flashed across his face. He turned to the other side. "I need some sleep now. I could think about her later". He said as he hugs his pillow.
******
The curtains were drew open and the rays caused Agememnom to face the other side. "I need some more sleep". He said. " The king ordered to wake you for your training lecturing". Agememnom's eyes snapped open and he got up.
"Prepare a bath for me". He said to the maid. The maid hid her flushed face and went ahead to do as she was told. "I'm done my prince. Shall I choose a cloth for you?". The maid asked shyly and Agememnom tried looking at her face to really find out if she had truly turned red or he was seeing things.
Walking close to her, he saw her smile increased and she became rather shaky.
Looking around in his room to see what was making her excited his eyes looked down at his body. And he realised what was making her blush so hard.
Disgustingly he closed his button that was opened, which revealed his chest. "You can leave I will do that". "Yes my prince". She said, bowed and left.
As he walked out of his room. He headed to the dinning room hastily. "Good morning father, good morning mother". He greeted and pulled a seat to have his breakfast.
"What is with the rush?". His mother, the queen asked blinking over a few times. "I've got a student to teach". He spoke with his mouth full.
The king's eyebrow rose in amusement. "I've never seen you this interested in something before. Is there anything else behind?". The king leaned forward to ask. "Of course". He answered still rushing his meal.
"Do you mind telling me?". The king asked in curiosity. "I plan on getting married to her". He said as he looked nonchalantly into the king's eyes and the queen choked on her drink.
The king drew back and blinked a few times. "Marriage comes with growth". The king said. "Then I'm ready to embrace it". He answer.
"I have to leave now". He said and left the hall.
His horse had been prepared and he was met by Run Ni Tama's smile when he stepped out of the palace doors.
Jumping on his horse he made it to gallop faster than he would. Run Ni Tama squinted his eyes in confusion and followed.
Elixia was already waiting in the yard. With two swords in her hand. As time passed she got bored. Then she pulls a cloth from her pocket and covers her eyes.
Taking her stance at the scarecrow. "You should rather train with something living". A voice paused her as she was about to strike the scarecrow.
"Grab a sword". She said and he went ahead to do so. "Is that how you honour the presence of your teacher". "Shut up". She said.
"So what's the deal here?". "I want to be able to detect your movement before you even make them". "If you can't I get to kiss your pretty lips, right?".
This caused Elixia to pulled down the cloth covering her eyes." Try to be serious today, Agememnom". She said and placed back the cloth on her face.
"I would rather have my seat if I stand to gain nothing". He said. "What do you want?". Elixia asked in frustration. "If you can't detect my movement before I make it I get to peck your lips". He said with a nasty smile.
Elixia's lips fumbled, but she had to if she wanted to be a sly like him. "Fine". She said and a smirk climbed his lips and she places back the cloth.
Elixia focused on her hearing as it was the only way she could detect now.
Launching her attack at him with speed. He dodges and shifts back
"That was rather unexpected". He said in surprise. "I can't bear to lose". Elixia said with a smile. Their swords starts to clash again and when it crossed, Agememnom used his to lift hers above his head and he pecks her lips quickly.
She startles at this. Again he does another trick of his and lands another peck unexpectedly. The last trial he was the one attacking and this was causing Elixia to move backwards. Till she clashed with the wall.
Agememnom crossed his sword on Elixia's with one hand then uses the other to pull her with her waist and pecks her again.
Elixia pushed him away and removes the cloth from her eyes.
Walking speedily to him. He didn't move back. Instead, a smirk climbed his lips. "How can you be this much of a sly, why?". She said as she hits his chest.
"Do feel shy that I pecked your lips three times?". He asked and she draws her hands and turns away.
"Marry me and I'll tell you the secret". "Are still on that?". She turned to face him."This training continues tomorrow with another deal for you, but we would continue with another training later". She said as she walks away. "Hey, wait up. I'm the teacher here. So I decide what happens next". He shouted as he ran after her
