When they reached the castle Liz said goodbye to James and went to go get something to eat. On her way there she bumped into Prince Richard.

" Hello," Liz said

" Hello," Richard said back, " Where are you off too?"

" To get some food. I am very hungry. What about you," said Liz.

" Same as well," He said smiling.

So they walked to the place where the food was being served and ate.

" Hey after we are done eating do you want to come practice sword fighting with me?" He asked.

" Sure, as long as you go easy on me," Liz said smiling. 

" Great," Richard said hiding his joy inside of him. They finished eating there lunch and headed out to the fighting arena.

When they got there Richard found her the perfect sword.

" Now I mean it. Go easy on me I am in a dress," Liz said smiling.

" I can't promise anything," Richard said smiling. So Richard taught her the basics and had a few practice rounds together. Liz caught on quick.

"Well I think you are ready for a true battle," said Richard.

" Me too," said Liz. So Liz ready her sword waiting to see who would make the first move. After a few seconds she decided to make the first move. She swum to the side then heard the metal hit together. Richard swum to the side. Metal hit again. Liz had blocked it. Richard smiling and began swing hard and fast. Liz block some of them, but she was knocked back by one. Now it was on. She came back to Richard and this time she swum hard and fast as he did. Richard block them. The sound of metal hitting together soon filled the room. They went back and forth at each other, taking breaks for time to time until finally they both got the sword to each others chest.

" That was the best fight I have ever had," Richard said breathing hard.

" Me too," said Liz breathing hard as well. They both stair at each others and smiled. Richard began to lean in to give Liz a kiss but interrupted by Nicholas and James coming in and saying,

" We need to talk right away. It is very urgent." Richard nodded to them then turned to Liz ,who was blushing, smiled at her then left with James and Nicholas. Liz was standing in the fighting arena breathless. She was almost kissed by Prince Richard. She had never given herself time before to think about if she had really liked him but now she was for sure that she really liked him. She put her sword up and headed back to the castle for supper and she sure was hungry again.
