33 I will stand strong and never be broken by him

Arnold has led Loren and Enidut Pathwarrior to an underground colosseum.

Soon the three of them were sitting down among the crowd of other guests like them or to say those who are regulars.

Loren notices everyone is wearing the same mask as they are, he guesses that whoever is the owner of this underground colosseum is allowing protection of identity here.

Smart makes those who come here don't want to be noticed since this is an illegal operation going on under the kingdom.

"How can this person make sure it never finds out this colosseum can never discover a ilunion spell can go so far, so what other way is keeping this safe."

Loren thinks while watching a match that just started not long between two people.

There was a draw circle around the two of them which he found strange because this is a colosseum they are to fight each other to the death, so what is the reason for the circle.

"Something on your mind friend." Arnold asks as he somehow tells Loren thinking behind his mask.

"Yes there is something on my mind, I like to know how these matches are played out because if this is a colosseum what the reason behind the circle around the two fighters."

"Ah, the reason behind this match is a knockout and ring out fight."

"Care to explain more of that since I am new here."

Arnold then explains the matches starting with the one he just told Loren.

The knockout and ring out matches is where two fighters enter the draw out circle that soon place on the ground of course cheating is forbidden. All these two players have to do is either knockout their opponent out meaning she/he can no longer fight or have your opponent kick out of the circle as that will be the end of the match.

Next is the spell caster in this match; the two participants are only allowed to cast spells; nothing else is to be used or any cheating is to happen. There are two ways for this match to end: one is no longer able to go on fighting, running out of mana to use or defeated in the fight.

Then there is the combat martial arts match where the participants are only to use their skills in hand to hand combat. No weapons or magic is allowed to be used in this fight. The way to win is by defeating your opponent or he/she is giving up in the fight.

Fight to the death match says it all as the participants are to fight each other until one is dead while the one still alive is declared the winner. Cheating is allowed in this fight to make things more interesting for the people.

Least match is an all out one it's like a free for all along with it being a random match that plays out when it wants to. What is allowed in this matches is the number of participants, cheating even

Learning all this from Arnold has Loren very much interested that an idea came to him.

He turns to Enidut Pathwarrior sitting next to him getting a good look at her being deeply focused on the match.

"Interested to try out these matches, I think it will be good training for you, but what do you think?"

Enidut Pathwarrior thought about it while watching the match that was going on; it did indeed grab her attention and this could be a good to test herself.

She even remembers the time Loren and her would secretly train with each other outside of the kingdom.

He wanted to test the training Enidut Pathwarrior was undergoing by the captain.

Loren tells her to not hold back against him when it comes to their training and she didn't go all out on him even though she didn't want to hurt him.

That girl would at times always lose to him, but at other times Enidut Pathwarrior would prove herself to Loren beating him.

He was always impressed on how well she was doing and wanted to test her further by having her fight against monsters Loren can find of course he would never put the girl's life at risk .

Enidut Pathwarriow never failed, she would defeat whatever monster was put against her and enjoy it.

"Alright, I do it." Enidut Pathwarrior gives her answer to Loren wanting to have fun.

Loren can sense her excitement as he notices back when they train together something within her that awakens when it comes to fighting.

"Great Arnold my friend, how does one join to be part of this fight."

Arnold was pleased to hear Loren ask him what it was like as he hoped it would happen.

"Interested to play a part or is it her."

"She wants to join in on the fun, so would be kind to show her how to sign up for it."

"Certainly would you like to tag along because not only can you watch these matches, but they are also betting on them."

Loren held no love for gumbling, but he doesn't mind playing it from time to time.

"I think that would be fun." Loren said as he and Enidut Pathwarrior follow Arnold to where he leads them to, anyone can sign up.

-------------------------------------------

Princess Hannah and Eiden soon find a private place at the garden within the castle.

Hannah was enjoying the lovely flowers in the garden while Eiden was watching her.

He has no clue to what the meaning behind the two of them being alone and so only a minute had gone by Eiden decided it best for him to break the silent.

"Princess please tell why, you have the two of us be together in private, I have to be honest this is not a great idea if anyone was to see us like this rumores can start and it would not be good for either of us."

When Eiden was done with what he had to say and soon saw princess Hannah crying when she faced him.

"Hannah…. I am sorry, I didn't mea…."

"He betrayed me!." Hannah said out loud that it surprised Eiden.

"Who betrayed you."

"My future husband, I caught him with the night elf in his room they… were."

Hannah cried even harder, having a hard time talking and seeing her like this Eiden began to feel his rage start to bottle up for prince Loren.

He soon put that feeling aside only to focus on the princess as she was still crying, so Eiden had to think of something to make her not be this way anymore.

Eiden then walks up to Hannah placing both hands on her face and kisses the girl.

That kiss went on for a long moment until Hannah was the one to break it off gently pushing him away.

"Stop it…. Thank you, but please don't ever do that again." Hannah tells him not looking Eiden in the eye.

"Sorry, I just thought it would help stop the crying and make you feel better."

"It did not happen again, understand Eiden, I don't want you to get in trouble for it, I wouldn't be happy if that happens."

"I'll make sure that doesn't happen, can you explain to me what prince Loren did to hurt you."

Hannah explained what she saw happening in Loren's room to Eiden as the two of them sat down.

Hearing every detail from Hannah was not making it easy for him to control his anger for Loren.

When done Hannah could see that anger of Eiden on his face even his hands was balled up into a fists.

"Eiden don't do anything stupid, you hear me." Hannah said while placing a hand on his.

"I won't, but I can't stand Hannah, you have to do something that isn't right for him to get away with something like that. I mean your father would understand if you want to end this marriage between the two of you."

Hannah saw him a sad expression after he said that.

"I wish it was that easy to do, but with the way our kingdom stands this marriage could save our home. I can't break it off because of what happened. Eiden doing that would leave our kingdom in the state it is or make things worse."

"Still it is not right, I mean there has to be a way, you can just marry someone like Loren, a life like that Hannah doesn't fit for a kind girl like you."

Hannah didn't respond back to him and just looked at the lovely garden then looked up at the sky.

"I am sorry there is nothing I can do about it, I have to go along with this marriage for my family, home and the people."

"What about us, I always wanted to know your answer to where the two of us stand."

Eiden had to ask her even if he already knew what that answer could be from Hannah's past actions yet he still wants to hear what she has to say.

"It's not easy to answer Eiden and I don't want to answer that question, so don't make me."

"Hannah you have to answer, I need it to know what to do with the feeling, I still have for you."

Hannah slowly turned her face to him and right there without needing to say a word Eiden had just got the answer he wanted on her face.

"I understand, thank you." Eiden got up with a sad expression on his face, but quickly made it disappear.

Hannah wanted to reach out to him, but she stopped herself.

"I wish you a good day princess and the best for you." Eiden tells her then soon leaves not looking back to her.

"The life as a princess is never an easy role to be born into."

Hannah looks at her hand slowly turning it into a fist.

"I may have to live the life that comes with Loren yet I will stand strong and never be broken by him fighting with everything, I got no matter how long it takes me."
