1034 Words
How did the king knew about her rebirth?
The king told Mia to ask Ellen about it because she could explain better than he could. The king allowed her to leave and requested to see her and Ellen in the morning.
Mia left the room, wondering what Ellen was hiding from her.
On her way to the selection hall, she bumped into prince Jake, who was reading a book while walking. He wasn't in his princely robe, so it was hard to recognize him as the prince.
"Arrsh, don't you know it's inappropriate to be reading while walking. You could just trip and fall." Mia said, scorning Jake a little bit.
"Who do you think you are?!" prince Jake said in his princely tone but to avoid Mia from recognizing him, he decided to talk calmly. "I mean, I'm sorry." Jake said calmly and they both went on their separate ways but then, Mia thought of something.
"Mister, I see that you are a Knight. Can you please teach me how to use swords. Please." Mia begged Jake who was reluctant at first but as Mia kept on begging him, he had no choice but to help her out.
"I don't teach girls how to use swords but since you begged well, I will help you out." Prince Jake said.
It wasn't that Mia didn't know how to use swords, in fact, throughout the years she was a princess, she had a special teacher that trains her everyday how to use swords.
She just forgot one of the techniques her step brother, prince Alex taught her when she was young.
She can't go and meet him because it will feel awkward asking him to teach her such a skill.
Prince Jake taught her a few sword skill and since she knew about it all, it was so easy to practice for her.
Prince Jake was surprised that Mia was getting the movement of every of the sword skills he showed to her. The skill that took almost five years for him to learn, here, a lady knew it within seconds. Then, he decided to show her a very unique skill that only him, his brother and the late princess Les knew about.
The Deep Kill sword skill, named by Prince Alex.
Prince Jake was performing the skill and Mia who already knew what type of skill it was was excited and as if her memories were being opened by a key, she remembered how the skill went. No longer focusing on what prince Jake was performing, she picked a sword and started swirling around with the swords, performing each steps and stages of the skill.
Prince Jake had stopped what he was doing, as his mouth was open wide with wonder.
'Who is this person?' prince Jake thought within him. The skill that him, his brother, and Les only knew about. How come this girl knew about it. Prince Jake wondered and he knew it was his brother's doing.
"Who are you!" prince Jake shouted. His fierce princely voice echoed the whole area. Mia stopped what she was doing to look at him. She actually didn't know he was a prince and she didn't know that the skill she practiced was kept a secret from everyone else.
"What do you mean?" Mia asked confusingly.
"How did you know the skill? who taught you?" Prince Jake asked. That was when Mia suspected that something is off.
"Answer me!" prince Jake started moving closer to her and Mia was stepping back trying to avoid prince Jake but she was unaware that a wall was behind her.
She kept on stepping back till her back was against the wall, the prince was now closer to her, trapping her on the wall with his large, muscular arms.
"Do you know who I am? I am prince Jake. You spied on us when we were training and so that we won't suspect you, you begged me to teach you how to use swords that you already knew about. You will be punished for playing tricks on us." Prince Jake was annoyed and he dragged Mia towards the palace to see the king.
"I'm sorry your highness, I didn't spy on you." Mia pleaded and prince Jake stopped walking.
"You didn't spy on me, then how did you know how to display that skill? Who taught you?" prince Jake asked.
"It is... Prince Alex taught me." Mia forcefully answered.
Prince Jake smirked at Mia before replying, "If Alex happens to deny that he didn't teach you, I will cut each of your fingers and toes, and I'll roast it in front of you." Prince Jake Said as he dragged her towards the back of the palace, where the prince is suspected to be. Mia was praying within herself, she's in a deep oil of trouble.
She shouldn't have lied that way. Although, it wasn't a lie, but she can't tell them her secret. Not yet.
If she had known, she wouldn't have called for him to teach her how to use swords.
Prince Alex who was having a rest outside, saw Mia being forcefully dragged by Prince Jake. He was determined to save her no matter what. His brother is not a patient monarch, yet he need to save the poor girl from a devil like him.
"Brother, why are you doing this to the poor girl." prince Alex said.
"Just answer my question. Did you teach this girl the Deep Kill skill?" prince Jake asked.
Prince Alex was silent at first, but he felt the punishment the girl will face, if he denies. He planned to help her out and later, he could sort things out with her.
Mia on the other hand had loosed hope. She's thinking of how she would escape from the two of them but she knew it was impossible. And the only thing she could do to escape is to transform into the white dragon, she once transformed into, due to anger. But she wasn't angry at this moment. She is scared presently. But while in the middle of her thoughts, prince Alex answered prince Jake.
"Yes, I taught her the skill." he answered.
