” You fought well” Amelia said after they left the arena.
” But not well enough, I was defeated by you……a woman” Leo replied and she smiled.
” Among the others, you’re the only who gave me a tough time, you did good today” she replied.
” Why don’t you just say yes to me already, and make me a happy man, why the torture” Leo said moving closer to her.

Amelia feels very comfortable using the sword and the audience were amaze as she skillfully rolled the sword with her hand.
Aurora on the other hand was smiling as she saw her fight which makes Klaus to stare at her.
” Why are you smiling?…I thought you don’t like fighting” klaus said.
” Yes I don’t, but when a girl stood up defying all the odds and kicking the men’s ass, that’s another story” she replied.
” I think I like the girl already……I must have a word with her at the end of the contest” she added.
” Why your sudden interest in her, you don’t even know her” he said.
” Does it matter?……I love her courage,… look she won again” she said pointing at the arena as Amelia defeated her opponent.
” I have no doubt…..she will win this contest, I know that for sure” she said.
.
Amelia left the arena as the people cheer up for her then went to where Leo is.
” You didn’t tell me you came here to disgrace us men” Leo said.
” You men do it to us women all the time, it’s time we fight back and show that we are also strong” she said.
” I guess I should be proud that my woman is strong and powerful who no one dare mess with” Leo said and she smiled.
” Your woman?……I haven’t even say yes and you’re claiming what’s not yours” she said.
” I have no reason to believe you will say no” he replied.
” Be careful Leo, I’m not that easy to handle” she said.
” Then I won’t, at least you will handle me” he replied and they both laughed.
” Who’s that man up there?” Amelia asked pointing to a man also sitting on the podium with the royal family.
” Oh, that’s Edgar, the champion of Malmoe” he replied.
” Oh, so that’s him” she said.
” Yes, the man is a mystery” Leo said.
.
Soon after, Amelia was called back to the arena for the final contest against another huge man.
” Get ready for it’s your funeral girl because I’m killing you right here” the man said.
” You won’t be the first to say that to me today……..almost every one of you did and you failed” she replied.
” you take me for one of those coward, I’ve been known for my fighting skills in my village” he said proudly.
” You know what I’ve learnt in this competition, most of you are coward shielded by your huge muscle” she said.
” You are wrong girl…… you’re wrong”
” I’ve been fighting since I was little and you think you have what it takes to take me down?” He said.
” Enough talk big man, show me what you got” she said and the man charged at with great force.
Amelia stood her ground and fight back with her sword, the man keep charging at her violently.
Amelia noticed some flaw in him and decided to exploit it as she used one of the trick her father thought her.
She held tightly on her sword and curled it with his and took his sword away from him then kick him down.
” Yield” she said pointing the sword to his throat.
The man refused which made her pressed the sword to his neck cutting him a little which drew blood.
” Yield now……or lose your head” she said again and he reluctantly raised two finger and Amelia was declared winner.
All the audience stood up cheering and applauding for the victory well deserved and the king stood up.
” It was such a wonderful contest which I never regret to be present in, it was lovely and exciting”
” Child, you prove everyone wrong today and give us a change of heart that women also have courage”
” Citizens of Malmoe, I give to you the winner of Malmoe’s contest…. Amelia of Haida” the king said.
” Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaah”
Everyone cheered for her and she smiled then her eyes landed on Edgar and she raised her hand which cause everyone to stay silent.
” Child, do you wish to have a word?” The king said.
” Yes, your Grace” she replied.
” Okay, go on …..what’s on your mind?” The king asked.
” I wish to challenge Edgar, the champion of Malmoe” she said and everyone was shocked.
” Whaaat?” Both Aurora and Klaus said in surprise.
Everyone was astounded including Leo and Laura as to why she would request for such a thing after winning the contest.
” Child, are you aware of what you’re asking?” The king asked.
” Yes, your Grace” she replied.
” Father, you can’t agree to this…..he will kill her you know this” Aurora said.
” The girl is old enough to make her own decisions…….she asked for it, it’s only proper for me to grant it” he replied.
” Father, please don’t” she pleaded then the king turned to Amelia.
” Granted, but you will have to make it a proper challenge” the king said then Amelia went to stand before Edgar.
” I, Amelia, the daughter of Gaius of the village of Haida challenge you, Edgar, the champion of Malmoe” she said and Edgar stood up.
” Challenge accepted” he replied.
” Eat, rest…….you fight tomorrow” the king said.
” Thank you, your Grace” she said bowing.
.
She left the arena and went to where Leo is and found him with frown face.
” I know what you’re going to say” Amelia said as she got there.
” Have you lost your mind, why would think of challenging the most dangerous man in Malmoe” he said.
” I don’t know……..I just really want to fight him” she replied.
” You really think you stand a chance against him, there’s a reason why people fear him” he said.
” Your overconfidence might get you killed” he added.
” You’re angry” she said.
” Of course I am, here I thought I finally found the girl I love only to find out she might be killed tomorrow” he said.
” I’m not dying tomorrow…….I know that for sure” she replied and leo pulled her to himself.
” I hope so because right now I’m scared of what might happen and I might not get the chance to do this” Leo said and k-ss her lightly on the l-ips.
” Careful Leo, I just met you yesterday and you’re k-ssing me already” she replied.
” It feels like I’ve known you all my life and I don’t want to let go” he replied and she pull away.
” Let’s go, I need to rest if I’m to fight the champion of Malmoe tomorrow” she said.
” Not yet, the king is org-nizing a feast for all the fighters in the palace this evening, we need to attend” Leo said.
” Okay, let’s go” she said and they left.

Leo and Amelia arrived at the palace and saw merriment going on already as people are eating and dancing.
” Woww” Amelia exclaimed.
One of them saw her as she entered and he cheered out to others who started applauding and she waved back.
Few of the fighters came to congratulate her and wish her victory toward tomorrow’s challenge.
” You fought well, Amelia…. you’re a good fighter but you made a grave mistake challenging Edgar” one of them said.
” Tomorrow will tell” she replied smiling.
” If you manage to pull through tomorrow maybe I’ll buy you a drink and we can get to know each other” he said.
” No man, she’s not interested……. she’s with me” Leo said in her defence and she smiled.
” Oh sorry man, Good luck” he said then left.
” Jealousy look good on you” Amelia said then she noticed everyone silent.
” The queen is coming” Leo said and she turned and saw the queen with the princess beside her.
” My Queen” she said bowing to them and Leo do the same.
” You fought well out there today” she said.
” Thank you my Queen” Amelia replied.
” I think you instill so much courage in every women out there today…I love that” she said.
” Thank you My Queen” she replied.

” Yes My Queen” she replied and the Queen left but Princess Aurora stayed.
” My princess”
” I need to have a word with you but not right now……..so give me some moment, I’ll be back” Aurora said.
” Is there a problem my lady?” She asked.
” No, nothing of such……all is well, so wait okay?”
” Okay, my princess” she replied then the princess left.
” Wow, Amelia……I think the royal family love you already” Leo said.
” Maybe it’s because I’m special,….. I’m famished…. let’s eat” she said and they are about to sit two guards showed up.
” Amelia” one of them said as she face them.
” How can I help you?” She replied.
” Prince Klaus will like to have a word with you” he said.
” The Prince?….where is he?” She asked.
” In his chamber” he replied.
