Intrigued by swords, bows and arrows

Kristen stared at him as if she was trapped in a daze. She couldn't take her eyes off him even if she wanted to. Her heart skipped a beat when he looked straight into her eyes. She immediately looked away.

He couldn't help but smirk to himself. Why was she there in the first place? He walked up the stairs to where the ceremony will take place.

Throughout the entire ribbon-cutting ceremony, Achilles stared at her in the crowd. It was something short so it was held right outside the new university.

After a short speech from the principal, it was time to cut the ribbon but Achilles was just busy looking elsewhere, not paying attention.

"Achilles? Achilles!" Myles, his brother called him. He looked at his brother like he was lost.

"Time to cut the ribbon." Myles said. "Oh yes."

He hurriedly grabbed really big scissors and on the count of three, he cut the ribbon and everyone clapped and cheered.

The royal Brothers shook hands with the administration and it was time to leave.

Achilles and his brother walked to the car to leave.

Achilles kept staring into the crowd as if he was looking for someone. He was indeed looking for someone. He had lost sight of her and was trying to find her again. She must have left, he thought.

He got into the car with his brother and they left.

"Why were you staring into the crowd like that? Where you looking for someone?" Myles asked. "No I...I thought saw someone familiar but it wasn't." Achilles answered.

"Ok." Myles looked out the window.

"Achilles?" Zale called out causing him to look up. "Yeah?" "You also have that thing you need to get to." Zale said. Achilles was perplexed. "What thing do I need to get to?" "Oh no wait, it's tomorrow actually. Sorry about that."

Achilles looked even more confused. Zale never made such a mistake but he didn't think much of it. He nodded slowly before looking out the window as well until they got back to the Palace.

They all stepped out of the car. Before Achilles could move any further, Zale grabbed his forearm.

"Hold on." he said. "Yes Zale, what is it? Did you realize it was actually today?" Achilles asked. "Not about that. I just need to talk to you." "Ok." Zale let out a deep breath. "Who is she?" he asked. "Who is who?" Achilles raised his eye brows. "Who is that girl you kept staring at in the crowd. You looked like you knew each other cos she was staring back." "I don't know what you're talking about." He denied. "Achilles I just... I just want you an answer. I've seen you smile at her twice. Once at the airport and once in the crowd." "Alright. She's a foreigner I met on my way back. I would say we're friends." "Achilles you can't be friends with an outsider. Those people don't care about anything." Zale said.

"Well you're right about them not caring because she called me a pervert without even knowing who I was. "See? You can't be friends with her if she doesn't respect your authority." "But you're wrong about the first. I'm the future king and so I can be friends with anyone I want. She's actually a really nice person." Achilles said.

"If she is really nice, why would she call you a pervert?" Zale asked. "I don't know." Achilles didn't want to tell Zale that he actually acted like a pervert. Zale shook his head in utter disbelief.

"I actually have to see her tonight." Achilles announced." "What!" Zale exclaimed. "I'm kidding. Let's go in." He smirked and walked away.

Kristen was walking on a lonely path, exploring the island. She brought out her camera to take photos of the beautiful place. After a couple of photos, she continued to walk forward, having no idea where she was going. All she knew was that she wanted some really nice photos so she kept walking.

Suddenly, she came across a huge building. It was so beautiful. "Oh my God this is amazing." She said. She had no idea why such a big mansion was there. She took her camera and decided to take photos of it. She kept taking them until she spotted someone in the mansion.

She recognized him immediately. "Did he live here?" she asked herself out loud and then it hit her. "Was this the Palace?" she asked herself again. She banged her forehead. "Of course it is. Are you dumb?" She was annoyed at her own obliviousness. She didn't know what to do because he was looking right at her as well.

She wanted to just walk away but she didn't know her way back. Also, it wasn't like she was trespassing or something. She still wanted to leave so she turned around to walk away.

She stopped in her tracks.

"Why am I leaving? I'm a tourist. I'm allowed to take pictures am I not?" She asked. "Yes I am." She answered herself. She nodded and took a deep breath and turned around. She almost lost her soul when she found him standing right behind her.

"Jesus Christ!" She exclaimed, gasping in fear. She calmed down after he saw it was him. "Whoa, come down. Breathe." He put his hand on her shoulder as she let out loud but steady breaths.

"You scared me." she said. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that." he replied.

"How did you get here so fast?" she asked. "What do you mean?" " What do you mean by 'what do you mean?' You were just in the Palace so how did you get here so fast?" "Oh, I jumped."

"Huh? How did you jump without dying?" She was confused.

"I'm kidding. You turned around for a pretty long time so I had time to run down here." he said. She then nodded but she still wasn't convinced with his answer.

"I see you find a lot of things intriguing. Do you find swords and bows and arrows intriguing?" he asked with a smirk.

"Very. Why?" She asked. He only smiled and took her hand. "Come with me." he said.
