Kara's Pov
Alex and I walked into the thorn room after being told by one of the guards that our father had requested our presence. As we entered the room I look at the room which was mainly stained glass painting the room in a light blue hue as I looked forward I grinned widely at my parents that were already there with a couple of people and guards standing near the wall of every corner of the room, they all turned to us when we entered.
We both greeted them with hugs Jeremiah was the first to speak "There they are! Eliza our daughters are beauty, look at them" Jeremiah laughed. Eliza laughed with him. You could see how close they really are when they start talking like this. "I'm sorry to bother you girls but I have something important I have to announce to Kara, Alex I thought you should here to" Then he moved towards us as he laid a hand on each of our shoulders "golly, it must be important what's from father" I was just standing there confused by the situation.
I wasn't ready for this Eliza walked towards me and Held my hand I guess trying to give me some comfort, He smiled "I'm sure you know about the tournament happening later on day" He smiled at me, I smiled back at him "Well of course father who hasn't " I said. "I thought that you could get married to the champion of the tournament as the prize if not we'll just give them some land" He chuckled "Well father I could not accept or deny the offer now but as soon as the victor is in-front of me I will inform you start away" I say hesitantly "I understand Kara I only want what's best for you" He smiled then started talking to my sister about the training this morning. "Alex don't you have to meet Maggie soon" I whisper Alex nods slightly.
I wonder who will be entering into the tournament I haven't really ventured outside the castle walls to know anyone personally, "Kara" My sister woke me up from my trance when she called me. I bowed at mother and father and swiftly left the room mind left in wonder for the following events.
Alex's Pov
Walking swiftly through the halls I wonder what my conversation with Maggie will hold, hopefully she has realised the feelings I hold for her because even Kara has noticed.
Walking into the garden I see Maggie in her amour practicing sword attacks "Maggie" I happily shout picking up my pace "Alex, how are you doing" she replies slowly stopping her movement "great thank you very much" she puts her sword into her sheath and grabs my hand lacing our fingers together smiling lightly. "I called you here because I wanted to tell you something Maggie says nervously oh no here it come the rejection and that she loves me as a friend.
"From the first day I saw you sword fencing that arrogant guy from our class with that smile on your face, I realised that I wanted to be the reason you walk around with a smile on your face or why you're less mean to everyone in the castle" we both start laughing "I want to wake up to you everyday and night even if you're mad at me, Alex you make me happier then I've ever been you've made my last 5 years of life worth living knowing that I'll get to see you in it, so basically what I'm trying to say is that I love you with all my heart." she says laying a hand to my face wiping the tears I didn't realise had started to fall slowly down my face. "I love you to Maggie I don't know how I'd hope without you" I say confidently before pulling our lips together for the first time.
Lena's Pov
Sam, Andrea and I are all walk to the castle training grounds to practice for the tournament which will start later on today. Sam the halfwit also entered and you guessed it, so i can win Andreas heart because she doesn't like me etc etc. Honestly for people that are smart they lack a lot of common sense when it comes to actual life, I'm surprised they haven't hit themselves swinging their swords to fast to show off.
When we arrive we assist each other into our amour marvelling over the difference and colour, Sam's amour being shaped for a women with a helmet which was half silver half black the amour following the pattern. Whereas Andreas amour was pitch black the sun not even reflecting off it with gold patterns running from her heart. I smile realising their amour represented them perfectly "you want me to go easy on you ladies" I chuckle knowing well how easily competitive they get.
We all slip our helmets on and make sure they're secure then Andrea and I duel first, I analyse her weapon well weapons she held a short sword in each hand probably a forearm in length with short handles watching as she spins them easily to stretch her arms. My sword being a inch or two shorter than my arm with a handle long enough for both my hands to hold but still balanced if held in one being gold like my armour.
I look up to see Andrea rushing to me, I realise to win that I had to keep Andrea at distance as our swords clash her second sword swings I quickly slide back avoiding the swing. We continue to duel Sam commenting on footwork or attacks Andrea and I were both clashed both her swords crossed pushing against my sword when we heard a yelp "what was that" I say this causing both of them to give me back replies of shrugs "I'll go check Sam take my spot."
The clashing of swords became more apparent again as I heard towards out the training walls towards the lake I see a tall blonde women pulling herself out of the water. I quickly rush over "excuse me ma’am, are you okay" I quickly assist in pulling her out the water
“I’m fine honestly just clumsy, very clumsy” she chuckles “You’re shaking don’t lie your cold” I say while taking my silver cape of and draping it over her shoulders “there have this we don’t want you getting cold do we” I say confidently I look at the women’s face and realise how beautiful she is with icy blue eye that are freezing me in place.
“…your helmet” the mysterious women says breaking me out of the trace, “pardon, sorry I was lost in thought” I say shakily making sure to keep my voice deep “I said can you remove your helmet” I blush realising it was still on “now why would I do that mysterious is better if i win the tournament maybe you’ll see it then” I smirk smugly even though she couldn’t see “well don’t be so sure you’ll win Sir Luthor” as she flashes me the brightest smile I’ve ever seen, I return it noticing she realised my family symbol.
“Kara” I hear faintly wait hold on isn’t the princesses name…oh this IS the princess “oh bloody hell” I whisper “you’re highness I just go” I say before swiftly leaving to enter the training room mind still lost in those beautiful eyes.
