Aurora’s POV
.
Tomorrow is the day the fight contest begin, Niklaus and I have been planning it together just as ordered.
It’s more like all of me because I org-nized most of it and Niklaus is more like a backup for me.
I’m very certain he want nothing to do with this but he wants to look responsible before father and the councilmen.
I expected him to put more effort into this as he’s the heir but he’s been doing a terrible job concerning that.
I can’t report him to father because that will make me bad sister and sometimes all I wanted was to beak some senses into him.
He has been parading the city since the first day, showcasing himself to people to make them believe he’s responsible.
If only they knew all of that was a plot to look for a beautiful maiden to take to bed which he did successfully.
Last night I saw him sneaking two ladies into his chamber with the help of the guards.
Sometimes I wanted to challenge him to make him stop but these ladies aren’t helping in anyway because they seems to enjoy it.
Unlike him, my life is as boring as always, all i wanted and all I’ve been doing all my life was to please my father.
All my life evolved around the palace and I haven’t stepped outside the kingdom, I don’t even have anyone to call friend.
Anytime I try to be friends with anyone they ended up in my brother’s bed which make me detest them.
I wanted someone with the same mind set with mine, someone I can open up to, and have fun together.
It seems none of that is ever happening because some years later I will be handed over to a stranger as a bride.
Someone I know nothing about or have anything in common with or have any affection for.
Sometimes I just wish I’m an ordinary citizen with freedom to do and act as I wish without being questioned.
Many people thought being royalty is luck or an achievement but it’s not, it’s now I understand the adage that says….
‘ uneasy lies the head that wears a crown’
A person who has great responsibilities, such as a king, is constantly worried and therefore doesn’t sleep soundly.
So also for the members of the royal family, we are meant to be a role model to our subjects.
The way we walk, talk, and dress are all different with others and some other responsibilities.
I Just want to live my life without being monitored or questioned about how I do my things.
To live that kind of life is not an option and just like today, I just got report from the villages.
It’s a list of contestants representing their village for the fight contest which will take place tomorrow.
I need to give this list to father to put his royal seal on it before it can be approved.
I went to the throne room to meet father and when I got there I saw him and mother with the commander.
The look on their faces was worrying and made me wondered what happened.
At first I thought it could be about Niklaus and the commander’s niece who I saw with Niklaus days ago.
” Aurora, what is that?” Mother asked as she saw the list on my hand.
” It’s the list of the contestants for the competition” I replied.
‘ it need the royal seal on it” I added.
” That will have to wait” father said hastily with only added to my curiosity.
” Father, what’s going on?” I asked.
” Go ahead, commander” father urged on.
” The rebel leader’s name is Bosnak, one of my informant just informed me that the planned to attack the Kingdom” the commander said.
‘ so this is about the rebels’
” They planned to attack the villages and after all the villages has been taken down they intend to come for the kingdom” the commander concluded.
” How many soldiers did he have?” Father asked.
” About a thousand, your Grace” the commander replied.
” That shouldn’t be a problem, we have five times larger than that” father said.
” True my Lord, but all the soldiers are right here in the kingdom,……..”
” But I’m afraid the villages will suffer so much casualties before our soldiers arrive” the commander said.
” Where does Bosnak and his men reside?” Mother asked.
” We know not my Queen, my informant believed he saw them due north, we checked it out but we couldn’t find them” the commander replied.
” Look h-rder, a thousand men don’t just disappear without a trace” mother said.
” Yes my Queen” he replied.
” Deploy a hundred soldiers to each of the villages and call for reinforcement if any danger arises” father said.
” Yes, your Grace” he replied then he left.
” What about the competition?……do we put it on hold?” I asked.
*. No, the contest stands” father replied then he pick his royal seal amd stamped it.

Amelia’s POV
.
It’s time for me to leave for the contest in the kingdom which will take place tomorrow.
The chief already arranged a carriage for me which is leaving for the kingdom.
Some of the youth in the village came to bade me Goodluck and at a corner I can s₱0t Ashur and his friends glaring evilly at me.
I smiled and wave back at them which only made them more angrier then my father came to me.
” Don’t forget everything I thought you” he said.
” Yes Father”
” Good, it’s Okay to run away when you see a dangerous opponent, I want you back in one piece” father said.
” I understand father” I replied.
” And one last thing, If you win the contest please don’t challenge the champion of Malmoe”
” The man is a beast so please do not challenge him…….do you understand?” Father said.
” Yes Father” I replied.
” Good….. remember, don’t use your powers no matter what” he said.
” I understand father’ I said then he embrace me tightly.
” It’s time now Amelia, the carriage is leaving” the chief said and we disengage.
” Be safe” father said.
” You too Father” I replied then enter in,side the carriage.
” May the gods watch over you, my child” the chief said.
” Thank you chief” I replied then the carriage started moving and I waved at them.
.
This is my first time of leaving the village which is all I ever wanted, all my life has been around the village.
.
It took about three hours before the carriage arrived at the entrance of the kingdom and I was asked to get down.
I got down and look around the place and smiled, the scenery is exactly as they describe if not more.
” This place is beautiful” I muttered then proceed into the city.
I don’t know exactly where to go but I keep myself busy staring at everything I see around the place.
I don’t have much money with me , else I’d have bought some of the things I saw and like.
Maybe after the contest is over I’ll come back to buy it, I continue moving forward then I heard someone shouting…
” Heyy, my purse”
” That’s my purse…….Thief… Thief”
I saw the lady pointing at a man who is running away towards my position and when he got to my side I hit him on the throat and he fell down.
The man held his neck trying to catch his his breath then I picked up the lady’s purse and the man ran away.
” Thank you so much” the lady said.
” It’s fine, I’m glad I could help” I replied.
” I’m Laura” she introduced.
” Amelia” I replied.
” You’re new here because I’ve never seen you before, I very much recognize every beautiful face I see” she said and I smiled.
” Yes, this is my first time here” I replied.
” Oh wow, are you here for something or someone?” She coyly which made me smile.
” I came from the village, I’m here for the contest” I replied.
” The contest?….but the contest don’t start until tomorrow, you’re quite early” she said.
” I decided to come early and settle down” I replied.
” I like that, do you have a place to stay?” She asked.
” No, I was hoping I could get a room at the tavern” I replied.
” Come, you can stay at my place” she offered.
” Thank you so much, you’re very kind” I replied happily.
” I’m glad I could help just like you helped me…… c’mon let’s go” she said and I followed her.
On our way to her place we started seeing people gathering around most especially the young ladies.
” He’s coming, let’s go” Laura said.
” Who’s coming?” I asked.
” The prince, Prince Klaus” she said.
” Is he dangerous?……why are you running away?” I asked.
” No, not in that way but if you don’t want to spend the night on his bed I’d suggest we leave now” she said.
I turned to look at the so called prince and saw him to be exactly a flirt just as Laura described.
I was about to leave and suddenly our eyes met and he keep staring at me, I averted my gaze and quickly follow Laura.
” You’re right, he’s indeed a flirt” I said to her.
” I told you, he has slept with quarter of the women you saw hovering all around him” she said which got me surprised.
” Every young maiden in the city wants to be with him but he only wants to use them” she said.
” But you’re one of those women” I said.
” Actually I am, I’m attracted to him just like everyone else but I don’t want to be a woman he can just sleep with”
” I want it to be permanent and I know that can’t be possible since I don’t have a royal blood” she said.
” Wow, every women are going crazy over the prince…..I can only imagine what will happen if he eventually become the king” I said.
” My dear, If that day come, every husband and father should keep a keen look on their wive and daughter”
” Because they are no longer safe from the Prince adulterous eyes” she added.

Klaus’s POV
.
I came out into the city on a horse parading the city like I’ve been doing for some couple of days as prospect to tomorrow’s game.
At first I hate doing this but when I see the advantage in it I became compulsively dependent to it.
I see this as an open opportunity for me to look for a beautiful maiden to take home with me.
For the past couple days, there hasn’t been a day without me having someone to warm my bed at night.
I love being the prince, a caring prince who see to the need of his subjects and make sure they are s€×ually satisfied.
The gods has done well to equiped me with such power, strength, stamina and a good equipment to make it successful.
They just won’t stop coming and I’m complaining either, I’m for no one but for everyone.
When I become the king I’m planning on making intercourse every man’s right and the women must consent to it.
The law will only be valid to the youth and not the adult because it appears the youth need it more, now than ever.
As long as it’s not between relative anyone can have intercourse with anyone and if anyone disagree he/she will be punished.
I will make sure my reign is different from others before me, everyone will talk about my reign for a very long time.
All of that won’t be possible not until I become the king, so I just have to wait.
I was waving at the people just like I always do and then my eyes met with an unfamiliar face.
She was tall and beautiful just exactly the way I love them and she even seems different from others.
I was about to ask my guards to get her for me and I couldn’t see her anymore.
” Baja, I just saw a lady just now wearing a leather dress up there, find her now” I said pointing to her direction.
” Yes, My prince” he replied then went to get her.
” She’s the one I want, I must have her tonight”
