... Her Reaction...

Rose realized at that moment, that the person in front of her, is the real Prince. Maybe the last few days he was a little considered towards her because of her outstanding skills, but that doesn't mean that she can deal with him spontaneously. He is the Crown Prince of the nation after all, who is she to talk back to him?

She got on her knees and bowed to him:

- Forgive me, your highness, I will.. from now on...I will bear my limits.

Then she left..... with eyes full of tears.

" Why am I this upset? I know he is a jerk from the beginning, but.....Stop thinking, Rose, and get back to your senses, you are nothing to him. I need to focus, my family needs me"

From that moment, Rose stopped smiling and joking around. She became all of sudden distant, especially from the Prince. She had never talked to him after that day, instead, she was avoiding any contact with him.

The other knights noticed her change of behavior.

- What's wrong with her? Asked Derek

- I don't know, maybe the training has already worn her out. Replied Leo

- I miss her laughter. The atmosphere became denser.

The Prince himself started to get annoyed by her actions

- Miss Rose, you need to concentrate more, we will so be going on an expedition, you must be ready.

- I understand, your highness. Replied Rose without even looking at him.

Hans kept glaring at her. He was frustrated and he didn't know why.

- Today training is over, you can go back to the dorm.

Rose didn't go back to her room, instead, she kept training by herself.

"I need to be perfect, I can't keep reminding the Prince's words every time I want to hit the target, it makes me angrier.

It started raining, but rose didn't back off,

she kept trying over and over until the bowstring cut her finger. She sucked it then she grabbed another arrow to continue.

- STOP RIGHT NOW.

It was Hans, he was standing behind her with a face full of anger.

- Do you think you can achieve anything with this kind of behavior? Go back to your room, that's an order.

Rose kept silent, she put down the bow and left without saying any word.

- WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS?

She stopped and looked back at him with those strange beautiful eyes.

- Was it because of what I said the other day?

She remained silent.

Hans got closer to her.

- Why don't you answer me?

- Is it also an order?

-...

- If not, I'm going back. Excuse me, your highness.

She left him, while he couldn't say any other word.

She seemed calm from the outside, but she was boiling inside. If she answered him, she will explode and things will get more complicated.
