The champion of Malmoe

Author's POV

.

Baja, the prince's guard went to search for Amelia just like the prince ordered but when he got there he couldn't find her.

He searched around the vicinity with hope to find her but she was long gone then he went back to the prince.

" Where is she?" The prince asked eagerly looking around for her.

" Forgive me my prince, I lost her" Baja replied.

" Whatt, you're so dumb Baja, too dumb"

" That was an easy task and you failed, she's just a woman, she couldn't have gone that far" Klaus said.

" Apologies"

" It's fine, there will be another chance for her..... she's just too perfect just the way I love them"

" Just find me a suitable one to replace her, I'll use that to soothe my raging soul" he added.

" Yes Prince" Baja replied.

" We will meet again and when that time comes....you won't escape from me" Klaus said in his mind.

About some Minutes later, Laura and Amelia arrived at her place and they entered.

" You live here alone?" Amelia asked.

" No, I live with my brother, I'm sure he should be around the house" she replied.

" Where are your parents?" Amelia asked.

" They are both dead, it's just my brother and I since then" Laura replied.

" I'm sorry about that" Amelia said.

" That's alright"

" This is where you'll stay for the night, I hope it's not too tight" she said and Amelia smiled.

" You're funny, this place is bigger than my room in the village, thank you for very much" she replied.

" You've been so kind" she added.

" I'll make something for us to eat, why don't you rest" Laura said then the door opened and a young man entered.

" That's my brother" Laura said as the man got closer.

" Hey Laura, who's this?" The man said.

" Amelia, meet my brother Leo..... Leonardo, meet Amelia" Laura introduced.

" Nice to meet you Amelia, and pleased call me Leo" he said offering his hand for a handshake.

" Nice to meet you too Leo" I replied shaking his hand.

" Amelia will be staying with us for tonight, she's new in town so I decided to give her shelter" Laura said.

" That's no problem at all... you're welcome" leo replied and Amelia noticed he couldn't stop glaring at her.

Laura also noticed the look in her brother's eyes so she managed to lead him away leaving Amelia in the room.

" Laura, where did you find her?..... she's a damsel" Leo said to his sister as they went away.

" I told you she's new in town and she Seems like a nice person" Laura replied.

" I think I like her already....you know I always wanted someone who's not from this city"Leo said.

' all the women in this town are Bewitched by prince... c'mon Laura, can I make a move on her?" Leo said.

" Calm down big man, she's tougher than she looks....I saw her took down a man with just a strike" Laura said.

" Really!!" Leo said surprised.

" I'm telling you...it took me by surprise and well" she replied.

" All of these makes me want her more, she's just my King of woman, even if I don't win the contest I'll know I got something better" leo said.

" You barely know this girl and you're running your head over her already, why don't you just take a break" Laura said.

" I will, I just want to know this girl more....that's all" he replied.

" You will have your chance she's going nowhere for today...so calm your nerves" she said to him.

" Alright alright...." Leo said before leaving and Laura smiled nodding her head.

In the evening when dinner was served, they called Amelia and she joined them and they all sat round the table.

" I really don't know how to thank you too... you're too kind to me....thank you " Amelia said.

" It's Okay dear, it's been a long time we've had any visitors, so this is alright with us" Laura replied.

" So Amelia, Laura told me you came for tomorrow's contest, I thought only men are the one'e to enjoy such things"

" I'm surprised a woman like you can travel a far distance to watch the contest, you must really love it" Leo said.

" No, I think you got it all wrong..... I'm not here to watch the contest, actually I'm here to represent my village in the contest" Amelia said.

They both look at each other surprised to what she just said.

" You mean you're a fighter for tomorrow's contest?" Leo asked.

" Yes, this is my warrior's bagde..... I'm sorry you got it all wrong" Amelia said.

" Uh...this is going to be weird" Laura said.

" Is there a problem?" Amelia asked.

" My brother is also a fighter, he's among the two warrior's representing our city" Laura said.

" Oh, you're right.... it's indeed going to be weird" Amelia said.

" Don't worry, If you and I meet in the arena....I can decide to lose for you" Leo said looking at her Coquettishly.

" Oh please, you don't have to.....we just have to give our best besides they are looking for the best" Amelia replied trying to avoid his disturbing gaze.

" Why do you want to fight anyway?...women don't usually participate in things like this" Laura asked.

" Our village lack lot of things and with the prize money in the contest, it can be used to sort it" Amelia replied.

" So your village couldn't provide a male fighter but a female... aren't you afraid of getting hurt"

" You know people get killed at some stages" Leo said.

" I heard but I'm not scare of getting hurt, I've encountered a lot worse" she replied.

" That's great, at least this will change people's believe about the women being useless"

" And if you happens to win the contest.....this will instill courage in every women out there" Laura said.

" Seems like I have more reasons to win this contest, and I don't like letting people down" Amelia replied.

" I've never come across a woman with so much boldness like you...I like your kind of people" Leo said and Amelia smiled a little not knowing whether to reply or not.

" Tell me more about the champion of Malmoe" she said changing the subject and they both looked at her confusedly.
