"It was a nice shot, my lady!", Aiden praised the girl feeling proud of her.
"Hmm!", she mumbled.
"How about moving target?", Aiden chirped and asked her.
"Sure", Sora replied excitedly.
Their conversation was like friends who are practicing their archery skills in the open garden in a different way and they were enjoying it but to others, it felt like they are competing and challenging each other at a difficult level.
Now everybody thought it might be Aiden's specialty that can help him to win against Sora. But Sora's positive response again scattered their hopes.
In the next round, all the targets moved to their place in waves and Aiden hit the center of each target by taking his sweet time but never miss it. His father was happy that his form is still good and the crowd again cheered for Aiden. After his turn, Sora again stood in front of all the targets when it was waving she just shot one by one and in a few seconds, all bullseyes were hit by her arrows!
'What just happened, she is not even looking at her targets? Yet she is hitting a bullseye every time!', everybody was thinking the same. Aryan scoffed at this, while Sora's family was feeling proud of her.
"How about hitting a moving target from riding a horse?", Aiden again suggested.
"Good suggestion. I have not tried it!", Sora replied.
Finally, there is something which she does not have tried! Now there was hope!
So Aiden asked for one of the horses and one of the stable servants brought him Browny who was the best horse after Diamond. Aiden mounted on Browny and took an almost a half-kilometer ride. This time it was decided that while riding hit all the arrows to the target but before coming to halt, where the finish line was a hundred meters away from all the targets.
Diamond was already present watching his master Archery skills so he just understood after Aiden's turn it will be his master's turn so he made himself ready.
In this last round, all the targets moved from their place in zigzag form and Aiden again hit the center of each target one by one riding toward the finish line and again never miss it. It was a marvelous show by Aiden and the crowd again cheered for Aiden.
Now it was Sora's turn so she mounted on Diamond. She took almost a kilometer ride just for her own satisfaction. From where she took the starting point only a few people with good vision were able to see her, but one can see the pace she was riding with Diamond was no less than thundering lightning!
Sora just stretched her bow and released her first arrow which again broke the first target's previous arrow into two which was moving in zigzag form and her arrow settled there. It was followed by the other four targets in the same way and she does not even reach Aiden's starting point showing people she can do this in a much better and faster way!
When Sora finished, she slowed down on her horse and reached to Aiden's side.
"Any more combinations to try, Aiden?", Sora asked excitedly.
"No my lady, I think it was the toughest one!", He bowed a little as if to accept his defeat and showed his courtesy.
"Ohh, I thought you will come up with a little difficult target! I just started to enjoy this game!", Sora pouted.
"It was a LITTLE DIFFICULT only for you, My lady! But it is almost impossible for anyone who presents here! I just wanted to show them any higher level can be achieved by you with very little effort from your side. So that they will think at least a hundred times before challenging you!", he politely answered her and left.
"I guess, Sir Aiden has just accepted Princess Sora's victory!", Aryan who knew what happened between them announced.
