Chapter fifty four

'Wait a minute Wales ,let's talk like matured people . We can't leave like this ,Krystal voiced out .'

You seem unpredictable Krystal ,at one moment ,you say you want to leave and at the other moment ,you want us to talk .

What exactly do you want from me ?

'I will have to find out whether this room contains the secret route that leads to the outskirts of Ulka kingdom .

This is my only chance ,I can't let it pass me by .You can do this Krystal ,she whispered

twisting her pendant ...'

"What now Krystal ?

Would you stand here and murmur to yourself or will you say something ?"

*********

Where are we now ,Wales ?

I mean which place is this ?

"Wales chuckled and drew closer to her .

His long black hair falling smoothly behind his back and those seductive lips of his along with his mesmerizing eyes caused Krystal to skip a heart beat which made her take a step backwards " .

'Careful ...he said grabbing her in his arms as his hair fell directly on her face .'

You should learn to know what's behind you before you go any further .

This room is filled with memories of my childhood till now .

No one knows about it's existence because I come here only when I'm sad and when I want to be left alone .

When I'm angry ,I battle with every armour you see here .

I train myself to be tough and face consequences.

My brothers hate me because among all the Prince's who have an opportunity to the throne ,i 'm the youngest yet I have been crowned Prince to the throne .

So each time ,they belittle me ,I come here to ease myself .

You are the first one who knows about this underground chamber .

I brought you here because the basic building block of any relationship is trust .

Krystal ,I'm not asking you to feel the same way I do for you ,but at least we can be good friends .

I'm not as bad as you have painted me to be .At least ,you should get to know me .For a while ,we have been conversing with each other through letters .

I want something more than letters ,we should see each other and try to enjoy every moment that life has given us .

Whether you believe me or not ,I can't stand to see you in pain .

***********

I will have to take advantage of Wales' friendship and find out whether this chamber has the secret route .

'Enough Wales ,I really don't want to argue with you over the same matter .

What would be better for us is when we both learn to know our individual places .

I have risked a lot by standing against your father and I'm not ready to get tortured anymore .

I can't fight him and that's why I have stayed quiet to his taunts .

But you are right ,we can be friends under shadows because it seems we both have something in common and that is our understanding ,Wales .

Forgive me earlier for the slap ,I was furious .

'It 's nothing ,he stretched his hands forward for a mutual greeting and she warmly did with her soft hands .'

So what now ?

We are now friends so won't you tell me something about yourself too ?

"I don't have much to say Wales ,but I can tell you that I have less experience in arrow shooting and sword fighting .

I guess princesses who are married to princes are the only ones who are taught sword fighting and arrow shooting . "

'I can teach you if you want , ummm ....providing you don't have a problem .'

**********

This sounds great ,getting closer to him will lead me to achieve my goal .Once I get what I want ,I will flee from this place .....

'Really ?

Would you teach me how to actually do that ?'

"Of course ,why not ?

We can start now if you want ,the sooner ,the better ."

'Alright then Wales ,let 's go for it ,I'm ready .'

'Wales handed her an arrow and a bow which he kept safely in his quiver .

Taking one for himself ,he walked straight to her. '

Before we start ,i would like to tell you that ,because you are a beginner ,I would have to guide you to shoot your arrow.

Don't misunderstand that as a way I want to get close to you because I respect your decisions a lot .

So tell me ,are you prepared for this or we should stop ?

'Wales ,I accept your terms and conditions .I have no problem so let's do this .'

I like this spirit but will you be able to shoot an arrow in your dress ?

"You are right , let me take off these heavy jewelries so that I will be a bit loose .

Alright then ,I'm fine now so let's get on to business ."

**************

The first rule in arrow shooting is that , you should learn to carry arrows in the nocked position only when you are slowly approaching the game .

The second rule is that ,you should never nock an arrow or draw a bow if someone is in front of you .

The third rule is that ,you should always put your mind to things of positivity and one more important thing ,you should wear dresses that you feel comfortably loose in .

If you are okay then let's start ...

*You should first assume your shooting position .

'From behind ,he grabbed her waist and stood in line with her so that she wouldn't fall off .

Krystal liked his sweet spicy scent and as he leaned closely ,she felt safe instead of being afraid .'

*Now you should nock your arrow with your feet firmly stitched to the ground .

'He helped her nock her arrow as he stood behind her .'

*Draw and anchor the bow .

'He whispered in a soft tone into her ears '.

*Alright then ,aim your target .

'Our target is to hit the second section of the wooden dummy in front of you .

You can aim correctly if you create a mental picture of what you truly want .

Why don't you assume the second section as freedom and put your might on it to achieve it .'

*Release the string at your aim .

'There you have it .We shot directly at at your aim ,Krystal '.

*After their first try ,they continued to practice till it was the break of dawn *.
