My Weakness is only for your eyes.

Zulia P.O.V

It's been days since I've gone to the black Knights quarters, I went in as Erin gives me a soft smile and welcomed me

"I'm glad you're doing fine now".

"Of course I'm fine, Thank you for worrying" I smiled back.

Everyone notices my appearance and swarmed me like bees around a bright colored flower.

"You seem to be strong and healthy now" Prigio smirks

"Yes I am, stronger than before to be precise" I faked a smile.

Why is he trying to bother me so early in the morning?.

"Since you're so strong, then you'll have no problem to start the inter-knight duel" he points at the notice board in the corner, I turned toward Erin

"What does he mean?".

"Seems you've forgotten, you promised us a duel, to duel with the three of us, one by one".

Two other knight stood up behind him.

"Ohh i remember your faces, is this what this notice represents?" I couldn't hold in my laughter.

These three spoke ill about my family, now I remember the reason I want to hit them.

"This is a laughable cause, I can take you three all at once right now, there's no reason to drag the fight for three days".

"I'm afraid not, for it's not possible" Erin says.

"And why not?".

Erin drags me to a corner as the other female Knights, Anita and Odette tag along.

"You just escaped death and still recovering, you're meant to use that as an excuse not to battle" He says.

"Do you see me as a cornered rat, who can't fight her own battles?, I'm also hungry for a fight, trust me I can beat them all at once".

"Lia you're too naive, they also have been sharpening their skills to take you on" Odette says.

"I know you're strong but think it once more and decline, the three of them are as strong as quarter of Prince Travis power, and that is tough".

"Did you just say the three of them combine is quarter of Prince Travis strength, how weak are they?" I laughed.

"You don't want to take this seriously Lia" Anita frowns

"I'm fine, I can handle them, I don't want to be a knight who canceled her duel due to some silly excuse"

"Since you refuse to heed, I'll inform the Captain about it and if he agrees that you can take all three opponents at once, then you will" Erin walks out.

After a while has passed Prince Travis walks in, he also looks healthy than the last time, I hope he isn't here to stop the duel.

He faces the whole Knights

"Lia, Prigio, Lothar and Hugh" He calls the four of us out.

Hugh?, is that his name?, what a funny name.

"I give my authorization to the duel between Lia and rest of you three" Prince Travis continues.

He walks up to me,

"Don't dissapoint me, make sure it's a fun match, and deal with them" He whispers,

just hearing him say that gives me courage, he isn't looking down on me, I haven't fully recovered but that isn't a threat.

"Erin, inform the rest of the knights, both Red and White knights, this will be a grandeur duel, which will begin... in the next hour" He says in a firm voice.

He walks out, "Ohh and you Lia, report to my room" he said in a cold tone before he leaves.

He is back to his usual self, and for a while i thought we were getting close.

I went to his room afterwards.

"Prince Travis you called for me" I entered after I knocked,

"Close the door behind you".

"Yes Prince Travis".

"Ca...can you help me apply this?" He hands me the ointment, I collected the ointment from his hands as his fingertips brushed against my palm.

"Why didn't you call for a maid to help you out".

"I will never show weakness to a lowly maid".

"But... I am also like a maid, just that I—"

"Firstly you're not a maid and secondly you're the one who told me it's fine to not be okay, that I'm not perfect and I shouldn't act tough all the time" He stares at me,

"So I decided to show my weakness to only you" he pauses.

why does it feel like there's emphasis on the 'you'..

Our eyes meet as I can't look away, his dark brown eyes stares into my soul, I feel warm inside, it feels like he keeps drawing me in, he finally breaks eye contact as he takes of his clothes.

Just seeing his open wounds all over his body, I wonder how unbearable the pain may be,

"Prince Travis!!!, why didn't you call for me earlier?, if I don't take care of this well it will leave a scar, and that will be awful".

"As a knight, scars are like a monument that reminds me of every battle I'veexperienced" .

"But remember you're not just a knight, but also a Prince and as a Prince, your body is a sacred entity, that represents the Empire, take good care of it, leave no scars, and more so... Your body looks good without a scar" my voice lowers as I realize what I just said.

He kept quiet as he turns his back to me, I applied the ointment, he groans in pain as he fights to hold the pain in.

Then he faces me, his broad chest right in front of my face, his body looks ... beautiful.

He looked at me, why aren't you applying the ointment.

"Ohh right" I got lost in thoughts.

I slowly applied it to his chest, his nipples perks out as I rub the ointment on it.

He lets out a slight moan,

A moment of awkwardness, as we both stared at eachother.

"I.. I am sensitive to your touch" his face turns beet red.

Does he feel embarrassed?, and what does he mean by sensitive to my touch?.

I giggled, he feels embarrassed.

"You look adorable when you smile like that" He smiles.

"You also look charming when you smile My Prince".

I rarely see him smile but it feels really nice to watch him smile.
