What the boys didn't know was that two girls were also watching the tryouts just a few blocks away from them.
"Why did you have to bring me along, Calla?" Edel asked, crossing her arms protectively as they got seated among the mostly men crowd.
Calla chuckled, and replied:
"I need someone to accompany me, darling~ Princess, you have been eating lunch all alone inside your dorm room ever since last year, wouldn't this be a good change?"
She was sucking on a candy apple loudly, and offered it to her friend. "Here's yours, or we could share if you prefer~"
Edelweiss pushed her hand aside. "I'm comfortable enough eating alone. If you are truly worried about me, why here of all places? Surrounded by Warriors?"
"You never heard of the term 'face your fears', princess?" Calla said.
She narrowed her eyes. "Are you really going to let that one prince ruin your life? Just that one incident, destroying a beautiful and strong woman such as yourself?"
