Preparation

CHRIS POV

I wake up and start to jog, Aradonia was a beautiful place. You can enjoy anything here, you will appreciate everything you will see. They are also very kind and warm to us, we became close to the other avatars. It was so easy to get to know them and trust them.

"Your early today brother Chris"- I look who is it and it was Alika the princess

"Good morning your highness, nìltsan(well) srane(yes) tutee(I) tìkin(need) to exercise"- I answered since we're staying for been a while. We tried to learn their language, it was hard at first but as the day passed by were getting used to it.

"Can tutee join moe ?"- she asks, well not a bad idea if she joins me it would be great.

"Sure your highness"- and smile at her

"Follow me, I know a better place where we can jog"- she said, so I follow her

"Do you have a track field here?"- I ask while we're walking

"We have better than that"- she answers

"Really? Let me see"- maybe there's more that we didn't see

"Here"- she said and I'm so speechless

"How come we didn't see this? Like we always train near here"- I said

It was a straight grassland and you can see different kinds of animals happily freely running and eating. They may look weird but they're so cool, it was my first time seeing a tiger with spikes on it, a cow that was so colorful, and horses that have wings they are all glowing. Even the grass is glowing so beautiful.

"Aradonia is full of surprises"- she just said and start running

"Wait for me"- then I also start running.

"Ashira za'u (come)"- she said and the tiger follows us.

"That's her name?"- I ask

"Yes, she is my gift on my first birthday"- she answers

"I see"

After jogging, we decided to return to the palace, it's time for breakfast. On our way there we talk a lot and he said that her brother is coming back today to watch our tournament. He was in the Kingdom of Elevania to pay a visit since the King of Elevania was sick.

"Is it okay to ask? I'm just really curious about it"- I said

"Yeah sure"

"What happened to the King?"- we never heard about him, since we get here. She was too quiet, what did just I do? I shouldn't ask that.

"He was killed trying to save his friend"- she answers

"Sorry to hear that"- and just keep quiet before my mouth says anything again.

"It's okay, anyway that was 10 years ago we already move on and we are always proud of what he did."- then she smiles

"Did you say 10 years ago?"- I ask, well 10 years ago Paraden was in great distress because Dukarado escape.

"Yup, why?"

"Nothing"- maybe that was just a coincidence

"You sure?"- she asks

"Yeah, let's go inside maybe there waiting"- I said

"Finally you're here"- Aileen said and smile at me

"Your Highness"- then Dave bow when she sees Alika enter

"Stop with the honorifics guys, I told you to just call me Alika"- she's like Princess Kashmiere.

"Let them, that's how they show their respect to you"- he's already here?

"Prince Thor, welcome back"- Avash said, we all bow to him

"Irayo(thank you) Avash, sit down and let us eat"- he said and we all take a sit

"Anyways where's eyktan(mother)?- he asks while were eating

"She's in her room, getting some rest"- Princess Akila answered

"Okay, so how are you? Are you ready for the tournament?"- he asks and look at us

"We are always ready your highness"- Aileen answered, she smiles at him

"Good to hear that, I'm expecting that you will win later"- I hope so

"Of course they will"- Alika said

"Wait, why are we doing this again?"- he asks

"Well, so that we will be a part of the advanced class"- Aileen answered

"Oh I see, but I heard your skills are already at the advanced level? Why do you want to push through this tournament?"- why does he asks so many questions?

"Because we want to prove that we are worth it to be at the advanced class, even our level is already advance we still want to abide in the rule of this Kingdom. I think you already know that Your Highness, this tournament is a requirement for us to be part of the advanced class"- Aileen said

"Your right, my bad. How can I forgot that haha"- he's weird

"Did you really forget it? or you're just teasing them"- Alika said

"Maybe both"- he said

"Ms. Shin the Queen is looking for you"- Avash said when she came in after getting us a dessert.

"I'll be there in a minute"- she said

"Did you do something?"- I ask her

"No, I didn't. Maybe she needs something, I need to go"- she said and stand up

"Enjoy your meal, Your Highness, it was nice chatting with you, but I need to leave now."- she said and bow, after that she leaves.

"I like her, she was competitive. A woman like her should be treasure"- he said and smiles

I can see that Dave change his expression and Cj almost got choke when they heard that. I understand that kind of reaction since Aileen is important to us. If you will see how the Prince smiling right now you would be irritated.

"Sorry, but she was already taken go find someone else brother"- Alika said

"Well, they're not married yet, chill sis."- what di he says? he stand up and fix his self

"Enjoy your breakfast, see you at the tournament"- then he leaves

"Don't mind what he said Dave, he's not serious about it"- Alika said to make him calm down

"Of course Your Highness, anyway I also need to leave and prepare"- I think I need to do that too. We will be competing with our mentors, so we shouldn't look down on them.

AILEEN POV

Avash told me to go straight into the garden, so I did what she said. I saw the Queen there having tea, as I walk near to her I put my best smile to greet her.

"Your Majesty"- I said and bow at her

"You're here, come on sit down"- she said, I take a sit

"Do you need something Your Majesty?"- I ask

"No, I just want some company"- she answers

"Well, you need to rest Your Majesty, so that you can watch our tournament later"- I said, she was sick since yesterday.

"It's okay, this is better than staying in my room"- she said

"Let me get you something to eat Your Majesty"- I was about to stand up but she holds my hand.

"No, I'm fine."- she said

"Are you sure?"- I ask

"Really sure, any way you remind me of someone. You two are really look alike. The way you act and talk is the same, how could this be happening?"- maybe it's my mom

"Who is she, your majesty?"- I ask

"She was my best friend, but she left me earlier than I expected"- that was the saddest part

"Sorry to hear about that, your highness"- and holds her hand

"Well, it's in the past now. But the more I look at you the more I see her. I don't know if you two are related or maybe you know her"- she said

"What was her name, your highness"- I ask

"Her name was...."

"Mom! here you are. I was looking for you everywhere"- nice, he just ruins the moment.

"Son, when did you came back?"- she asks

"Just now"- he answers and hugs her

"Did you meet Aileen?"- her majesty ask

"Yeah, we meet earlier."- he answers

"Gladly your back, how's King Hord"- she asks, she was referring to the King of Elevania we heard that he is sick.

"He's gaining some strength now, the higher-ups are also there helping him to heal"- he answered, Wait, Did he just say higher-ups? What are they doing there? That was far away from Paraden.

"It's a good thing that they're there. We could be at ease"- then she tries to stand up but suddenly he fell.

"Your Majesty!"- we run to her and help her to stand up

"Are you okay?"- Prince Thor asks her when we help her to sit down first.

"Yeah, I just need some rest"- she answered

"Let me take you to your room"- he said

"I will help you, your highness"- I said, so we both assist Her Majesty to her room. When we put her majesty into sleep we slowly go out into her room.

"Thank you for helping me"- he said, I smile at him

"Your welcome, your highness"- I said

"Just call me Thor, I think we have the same age?"- he seems interested in me

"According to my research, you are way older than us"- I said

"You researched me now huh?"- he slightly laughs

"Before going here I did a little research about here"- not just him FYI.

"I see, anyway are you free after your tournament?"- he asks

"Nope, and sorry I already have a boyfriend"- just in case he asks me out

"Haha chill, I'm not planning to take you away from your boyfriend. I was just asking so that I can ask you a favor"- omg I want to run and hide, that was embarrassing.

"Sorry, that was not totally me."- I said

"Your funny, you should saw yourself"- then he laughs. I can feel my face was so red right now. I shouldn't say that

"Stop it, your making me more embarrassed in front of you"- then he stops and smiles

"Your boyfriend was the guy sitting in your left? Ain't I'm right?"- yeah, Dave was sitting in my left earlier

"How did you know?"- I ask

"When I said I like you, he was like he wants to hit someone"- that makes me smile, I bet he was irritated

"Why did you say that?'

Cause I like you, but as a friend of course"- he said

"You should just say so. Is it your hobby to tease people?"- he was way too far from the other prince I know. He was an approachable person and very friendly.

"You can say that"- then we both laugh, I don't know but we have the same vibe

"See you later"- I said

"Okay, Goodluck on your tournament"- he said and we part ways

While walking going to my room I saw Dave standing at my door. He looks so serious and like he was thinking something. I hold his hand and smile at him, he smiles back and hugs me.

"Are you okay?"- I ask

"Much better, let's stay like this for a minute"- he said, I hug him back then after that he looks at me

"Did you have fun?"- he asks

"Fun? on what?"- what is he talking about

"You're with him, I saw you both laughing"- ohh that, is he mad?

"Well, he just told me how you want to hit him when he told you guys that he like me"-I explained

"Don't ever laugh like that again, I don't trust that Prince"- he said

"Okay fine"- and I hug him to stop his jealousy

"You should go take some rest, we should be ready for the tournament later"- he said

"You too take some rest and stop thinking too much"- I said

"Okay"- then he suddenly kissed me, I think my face was red again. I step backward and smile at him.

"Bye, see you later"- I said and hurriedly enter my room. My heart is beating too much I need to calm myself. It's not the first time he did it, but why I am always like this? Never mind I need to concentrate and rest, it's the best way.
