Chapter 6

" I am impressed by your fighting skills, Prince Harry. I have always been looking for such opponents. Let's train together?", said Jack in a loud and confident tone. Immediately the soldiers stared at him in shock. Does this man have a deathwish? Prince Harry was the strongest soldier among them and Jack dare challenge him to a fight when he was a prisoner just few minutes ago?

"Ha-Ha kid, I don't train with commoners. Get lost", Harry replied coldly. Jack smiled as he heard this. "That's great because I just became the commander of Royal Regiment. Let's see who is a stronger commander", said Jack. He knew Harry would be astonished when he hears this news. He wanted to fight with Harry and teach him a lesson. As expected, Harry was taken aback for a moment. Was the King mentally ill? Why would he reward this prisoner with such an important position? The Commander of Royal Regiment ? He must be joking. However, Harry pretended to act cool. After all, he was still the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. "Ha-Ha, you sure about this? Don't cry to the princess when I beat you like you did when you were a prisoner", Harry laughed mockingly. He was already in a bad mood today and this man dared challenge him to a fight?

Jack looked at the Princess. She was embarrassed and blushing. How can Prince Harry mention Julie with Jack infront of so many soldiers? The Princess had a strong reputation infront of these soldiers. Julie lowered her head due to embarrassment. She felt like she should dig a hole and bury herself in it. Jack could feel the anger boil inside him. How dare he embarrass the Princess in front of him? He must be taught a lesson. Jack clenched and raised his fists, inviting Harry to attack.

Harry saw that Jack was ready. Thinking of an easy victory, he rushed forward to attack Jack. He raised his fists and threw it at Jack with full force.

"Bang!" Harry's punch collided with Jack's palm. Jack had easily blocked the punch. Before Harry could react and release his wrists, Jack immediately slapped Harry with full force.

"Slap!", came the sound as the punch landed clearly at Harry's face. Harry was shocked as he landed a few meters away and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. The soldiers were in a state of shock. Nobody could believe what was going on. How could this happen? How strong was Jack? How can he defeat the Commander-in-Chief?

Harry could feel the surprise of the soldiers. How can he be humiliated like this? However it was a fair fight and Jack beat him fair and square. How will he be able to face the soldiers now? Nobody had ever beaten him! Just as Harry was thinking how to save his ego in front of so many soldiers, a guard came shouting towards Prince Harry. "Your Majesty, The King wants to see you", shouted the guard as he knelt down in front of Harry. Prince Harry was relived. He finally found an excuse to escape this embarrasing situation.

"Haha kid. You are lucky that I have some urgent matters to deal with. I will see you soon", said Harry proudly as he walked away from the training grounds. Jack knew that he was too powerful for Harry. After all, he had spent his entire life training with the most elite warriors. If Harry came back to fight him, he will be digging his own grave.

Meanwhile, Julie was shocked to see the entire event unfold. Nobody had even dared to challenge Prince Harry and whoever fought him would suffer severe injuries. How can Jack beat him so easily? Julie became more impressed with Jack. It seems like her decision to recommend Jack for the Royal Regiment was worth it. This man was truly powerful. Jack saw that the princess was stunned. He knew she was admiring him secretly. "I am sorry for causing trouble Princess. But I had to beat him when he embarrassed you. Excuse me",said Jack as he turned around and left the training ground. He knew how to flirt with girls. After all, he was a handsome and strong man. Any girl would fall for him

Julie was stunned to hear these comments from Jack. Was he trying to flirt with her? However at the same time, she was touched. Did Jack really did this for her? Did he really picked up a fight with the Commander-in-Chief only for her? After all, it was no joke to mess with Prince Harry. He would surely not let this go so easily. As she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly came back to her senses. She was the Annville's Princess! How can she fall for a commoner? "How silly are you Julie. You must get mature now", Julie thought to herself as she headed to her room.

....

It was late at midnight and Jack could not sleep. He was used to an ordinary lifestyle. How could he sleep in a castle with his own room? He remembered the days of Zang Empire and at the same time was thinking about Prince Harry. He knew he wouldn't let him live peacefully in the palace now. However images of Julie appeared in his mind as he imagined her beautiful face. He realised it was worth it to beat Harry. Maybe he could impress the Princess. "What an eventful day", thought Jack as he laid down and slept.
