Ailwin had pulled Braeden to the side one morning a week before the competition was set to begin.
"What? You want to tell me to go easy on your wife...hahaha…" Braeden laughed noticing the concern on his friend's face.
"No, I want to warn you not to make a fool of yourself in front of the entire city." ailwin snapped back.
"You think your brat and her squadron are going to win against a seasoned veteran...ha!"
Ailwin exhaled. He would have thought that by now, his friend would be wiser when is coming to face off against his little imp.
Putting his hands on his friend's shoulder, he turned Braeden around to look at him. "Braeden, since your my best friend I'm going to give you a piece of advice. Don't underestimate Mikaela…."
"Ailwin-"
"No, Braeden. Listen to me. Do you know why she is always able to trick you and get under your skin?"
Braeden shook his head 'No'.
