20 The training

After a good night rest the girl woke up early in the morning, she got up pulled the curtains letting the beautiful morning light and air into the room, she then took her bath, had her breakfast and waited for the prince in the training arena, she was a little nervous because it will be her boss teaching her, but she pulled through.

Well it seemed as if the prince did not know his timing well, he came to the arena at 9am, the poor girl waited one hour for him,

"Ah i see you waited" he said,

"Good morning yes i did" she replied,

"Ha! Good morning Octavia" he said as he grabbed a sword.

"Defend yourself" he shouted.

The girl grabbed a sword and fought with him, she managed to doge from all of his attacks, one thing was proven and that was she knew a lot of things when it come to combat, even the prince was a little impressed.

After three two hours of training, Cassius stopped,

"That is enough for today" he said,

"Oh okay" she replied exhausted,

"I have to say i am impress, you managed to doge my attacks, you are pretty swift for a girl" he said,

"Thank you" she replied as she and the prince went back into the castle, the boy took a bath and after he was finished she did too, when they were finished Cassius along with Octavia went to have lunch with the others, the poor girl was not accustomed to so much training so her muscles were tired.

"Will you be alright?" Caria asked,

"Yes i will be fine your highness" she replied,

"I am sure she will get used to training in less than two weeks" Cassius said,

"Ha.. yeah sure" she said to herself as she ate her food.

While they were eating, they girl looked at her reflection on the glass and she saw her eyes had started to glow again, she tried to make it stopped but it kept glowing, frustrated Octavia did not know what do do to hide it from the queen who was apparently sitting directly in front of her.

She turned and looked at the prince nervously, while the others asked him a few questions about his relationship with her,

"This is the only choice i have and i will try and make up an excuse later" she said to herself as the prince was about to ask her something, she closed her eyes, leaned in and kissed him on the lip, the guy was shocked and so were the others.

The wicked prince kissed her back too, both of them felt uncomfortable, while the others just glared at them smiling, after her eyes stopped glowing, she pulled off of the prince, Cassius looked at her a little angry yet confused, Octavia smiled nervously.

"Well i guess it is true then, you guys sure make a lovely couple" the king said,

"Yeah in your dreams" the prince said to himself.

After they finished eating and so on, the prince got up held her hand saying "Octavia i need to talk toy you, come with me for a ride" he said,

"Uh... sure Cassius" she replied as she got up with him.

The prince and the girl went to the stables, got their horses and took off to the valley, their they stooped upon the arrival of a huge apple tree, she got off with him, as for the king and the queen they continued their duties, "enjoying the fresh air" he said,

"Yeah it is nice and breezy out here" she replied,

"Despite being afternoon the place is cool" he said.

He then turned looking at her sternly, she knew he was up to something and got a little scared, he walked up to her stretched above her and picked two apples, he gave her one and took the other,

"You should try it, this apple as really tasty" he said as he ate it,

"Sire why did you bring me all the way out here?" she asked,

"Well i am going to keep you here until you tell me what the hell is going on with you" he replied,

"But if there is nothing going on then there is nothing to tell " she said,

"You are lying" he said as he walked towards her bracing the girl against the tree.

The guy looked in her eyes as it trembled in fear "your eyes are trembling Octavia, what are you afraid of?" he asked,

She swallowed "nothing, i am just uncomfortable with you leaning against me" she replied,

"Oh yeah well you did not seem to had any problem kissing me without my permission back there" he said,

I would not think anything of it because you did the same before" she replied,

"You are taking revenge then" he said,

"No i was just trying to make them believe that we are a couple" she replied,

"I feel you are lying but if that is true then you must know that it worked" he said.

The queen summoned Liam to find out what intel he got from following the girl around,

"So what did you find out?" Caria asked in the presence of the king,

"Well nothing out of the normal that is for sure" he replied,

"Okay but did she went up into the mountains" the king asked,

"No sire she did not " he said,

"Well there is no need to follow her anymore" the king replied,

"No keep following her, for some reason i feel uneasy" the queen said,

"Okay ma'am as you wish" the boy replied as he left the throne room.

The king was not happy with what the queen was doing but believed that maybe by letting her do what she wants will somehow get rid of her suspicion,

"We will continue our training tomorrow, lets head back it is now 3pm" Cassius said,

"Okay" she replied.

The girl fed her horse and the prince's an apple, then they left heading back to the castle which they call home for the time being, while they were riding back she started to pick up all different kind of scent, some was nice and horrible, Octavia knew that this was happening because she is changing.

When they arrived at the palace, Liam came to her "ma'am from now on i will be your body guard" he said, they girl eyes widened,

"What?" she shouted,

"I am sorry, who are you?" the prince asked,

"My name is Liam and the queen assigned me to be her bodyguard" he said,

"That is not going to happen" she responded,

"Actually i do not have a problem with you being her guard, but you can only do your duty when i am not with or around her" the prince said,

"Okay sire" he replied.
