Hi guys finally able to update. So sorry about the super late update. I had to get my requirements for the school I’m enrolling in and also bad news for me. My vacation has 2 months left but the school changed it and now i have 3 weeks left so updates will be late but I’ll do my best to make it early.Ciao
Chapter 3
“This is kinda hard.” What am I going to do with a wooden sword?” This is unexpected. I didn’t think my father would buy me a toy sword. I have to change my strategy. Sharle and chloe entered my room.
“Milady your food is here and also, your father bought you some books.” Sharle placed the food beside me while Chloe handed me the books. A total of seven books. I’ll read it maybe tomorrow because I’m still finishing a book about sword techniques.
I ate the cookies which are so freakin delicious and drank my milk. After eating I’m back to reading again. My knowledge about his world is kinda complete now so I’m reading books about magic and weapon to gain knowledge on how to protect myself. After reading, I always go to the training area to watch the men there fighting.
“Going to the training area later milady?” Sharle always accompany me to the training area. I discovered something interesting when I first went to the training area. Sharle is super popular with the men. I’ll admit that she’s pretty but I didn’t think she would have a fan club.
“Yes. Excited to see Pladios Sharle?” sharle started to panic.
“Wha-wha-what are you saying milady?!” sharle’s face turned tomato red after I mentioned Pladios’s name. Yeah my maid Sharle likes Pladios but Pladios doesn’t seem to see it. It’s totally obvious but I can’t of any reason why he can’t seem to see that Sharle likes him. Everybody knows it already. Even my father and Alexa know it.
“I don’t like him...” Sharle mumbles while looking away. How cute. I suddenly laughed which made Sharle more defensive.
“Milady what’s funny?” Oh she’s pouting! She’s too cute! I can’t concentrate now. Maybe I’ll go to the training area now.
“Nothing I just remembered something. I want to go the training area now.” Sharle stared at me still pouting.

“Take formation! Our lady and Sharle have arrived!” Here comes Sharle’s fan club. Suddenly a red carpet appeared. What the hell? They didn’t do this last time. I haven’t noticed it but her fan club are all wearing tuxedos and they’re holding a rose. Seriously what the hell is this? Is it Sharle’s birthday?
A man appeared out of nowhere and he’s holding a bouquet of rose. *Sigh* I should’ve have known it. It’s Reynaldo, the leader of Sharle’s fan club. He’s a handsome guy too. He has a well built body, tanned skin, brown eyes and black spiky hair.
“Oh my beautiful Sharle!” Reynaldo knelt in front of Sharle.
“I want you to know that I have always loved you!” While Reynaldo is saying sweet things, Pladios appeared topless and full of sweat.
“I know this may be a bit too quick but will you marry me?” after saying that, Reynaldo closed his eyes while smiling. Sharle is not even listening or looking at him. Her attention is on the topless pladios.

“Take the rose if your answer is yes.” He said while his eyes are still close. Unfortunately, no one is going to take that bouquet of rose because Sharle already ran to Pladios to wipe his sweat off.
“Uhm boss... Sharle is not there anymore.” One of his underlings poked Reynaldo. He immediately opened his eyes to see Sharle talking with Pladios. The bouquet of rose dropped on the floor as well as his body. I think that really hurts but he knows the risk. This isn’t the first time that he tried to propose to Sharle.
He has tried about seven times already. All with the same results. This guy doesn’t give up at all. All his underlings came near him to comfort him.
“Retreat! Boss is heavily wounded!” they carried Reynaldo and quickly disappeared. I looked at Sharle and Pladios and it looks like they’re having a good time. I don’t want to disturb them so I took a stroll because it seems that the men in the training area are on break time.
“I really want a swooooord. *sigh* Oh I know! I can borrow a sword in the training area! I’m such a genius!” Walking back from the garden I suddenly felt someone watching me. I looked around and I saw a shadow but it threw a dagger at me and disappeared quickly before I could get close to it. IT HURTS! Is it an enemy spying? I need to get back quickly.

I ran. Yes I ran. I remembered that I’m still a kid who can’t defend herself from bad people. Why did I even bother going near the unknown guy? The knife hit me at my left shoulder. I arrived at the training area holding my left shoulder and I’m also crying right now. Sharle noticed me and she ran towards me.
“What happened? Are you alright? Who did that?” She hugged me and the men noticed my bleeding shoulder too so they stopped training and came near me. I can’t stop crying.
“What is the commotion abou- milady?! What happened?!” Pladios appeared and he came near me. He removed my hand and he looked at it. Sharle removed Pladios’s hands and she carried me to the castle.
“All of you go secure the whole place! I need ten men with me! NOW!” I heard Pladios ordering the men but my consciousness is leaving me right now.
“Milady! Keep your eyes open! Stay with me!” The pain is spreading. It hurts so much.
“sharle... It hurts...” Sharle looked at me and she smiled softly.
“You’re going to be fine. Just stay with me ok?” I nodded and she ran faster. Pladios appeared with his men. Sharle looked at him and Pladios nodded while his speed goes up. The men surrounded us.
“Sharle she seems to be poisoned. We need to move faster.” One of the men talked. Sharle looked at me and she smiled “you’re fine. Nothing bad will happen to you.”

“Let her rest first. Ask questions tomorrow.” The doctor told them before leaving the room. Zarzex sat beside her daughter’s bed. Mordred is currently sleeping. Alexa, Pladios, Sharle and Chloe also left the room.
“This is my fault! I left her all alone.” Sharle punched the wall and Chloe stopped her.
“It’s not your fault Sharle. We didn’t know that there was an intruder.” Sharle looked down and bit her lips. Chloe hugged her “It’s going to be fine.” Tears started to flow out of Sharle’s eyes.
“Yeah it’s not your fault Sharle. We need to tighten security from now on.” Pladios tapped Sharle’s back and he left. Alexa kept quiet and stared outside of the window.

My shoulder hurts... I opened my eyes and I saw an unfamiliar room. Where am I? I looked around and I saw my father sleeping next to me. He must’ve been worried to death when he saw me. I moved slowly so I wouldn’t wake him up but he woke up.
“Hey princess. How do you feel? Does it still hurt?” I smiled at him and replied “My shoulder hurts a little bit but I’m fine.” Actually it still hurts like hell but I don’t want to tell him that. I want my cookies and milk... Maybe I’ll ask Sharle later.
“Daddy will be with you for now. Is there anything you want? No swords allowed.” I thought I can take this chance to have a real sword but it seems that I was mistaken. Someone suddenly knocked at the door.
“Milord it is I Pladios. May I come in?” Maybe he came to ask me about what happened. I didn’t really see the man or woman clearly so I can’t really give useful information.
“Come in.” Father replied and the door opened. Pladios and Reynaldo came in. They stood in front of father.
“Princess we need to ask you a few things. Is that ok?” Father asked me and I nodded.
“Did you see who the intruder is?”
“No.”
“This is a problem. We don’t know who our enemy is.” Pladios said.
“No. I think I know who did this. Pladios strengthen the security. Reynaldo keep on training the men. Where’s Rigor?” Rigor? I haven’t met that guy.
“Our apologies, Rigor is still sleeping.” Father scratched his head while laughing.
“That guy is really something. Tell him to meet me later. Also, has Sitrix returned yet? I already talked to Trey so you don’t need to call him.” I’m hearing a lot of new names.
“Sitrix has not returned yet that girl likes to play around.” Pladios replied.
“Ok. That’s all you two may go.”
“Yes Milord!” The two answered at the same time and left the room.
“Now, anything you want princess? No swords allowed.” Argh why do you need to add the “no swords allowed”?
“I want my books and some cookies.” My father smiled at me “let’s go. I’ll go with you.”

“So what did you find?” A figure of two men can be seen.
“I saw something interesting. Black Lightning’s daughter is alive. I thought it was an illusion so I attacked it but it seems to be the real thing. I’m sure they’re on high alert right now.”The other man replied.
“Heh. That’s really interesting because I know I killed that child and her mother. Continue to monitor her. I want to know what magic Zarzex did to bring his daughter back to life.” The man grinned and walked away.
