- Dragon City, East street –

After the commotion caused by Lyle finally settled down. The noises around the city returned and became bustling again.

In a small restaurant near the city plaza, Lyle and Sasha decided to rest. Lyle was holding the swords he bought while listening to Sasha. Actually, Sasha was scolding him about what happened a little while ago.

“Prince Lyle, please think before you act. Do you know how scared I am when you throw that sword? Just what would happen if it hit you? If you want the sword, then we could just buy it. No need to do such a dangerous thing...*sob*...if you want to do that, then please do that when I’m not around!...*sob*...I don’t think I can take it if something dangerous happen to you!

Do you understand, Prince Lyle?...*sob*...please don’t do that again! I don’t want to see you hurt!...*sob*...”

She started crying in the middle of it.

Lyle on the other hand, was listening while reflecting on his actions. He knows that what he did was dangerous but he was too excited that he forgot that Sasha; although is always wearing an emotionless face was in fact a very sensitive person especially if it has something to do with him.

And now he was facing the consequences of his reckless action. He was startled when Sasha was tearing up, but now that she was really crying in front of him. He now don’t know what to do to calm her down. His mind is in a mess trying to find what to do in this situation.

“I promise! I promise, so please stop crying now! Please…”

“R-really?”

“Y-yeah, promise! So please stop crying now, okay?”

“U-un…”

Even though she nodded her head, she was still sobbing and looking down. Lyle felt something tearing down inside of him when he saw her like this. Thus, he racked his brain to think what he can do to ease her

“S-sasha, Men who are usually interested in marriage are usually married!”

Even though he was racking his mind very hard, he still didn’t thought of something so instead, he just say what pops out in his mind.

Sasha looked at him with a puzzle look. She has no idea what Lyle was saying.

“So?”

“So…. Etto…”

“Prince Lyle, if you thought that I can forgive you because of that I-just-don’t-understand trivia. Then you are wrong”

“Eh?... no I-it’s not that! I didn’t mean that…I…just”

Seeing Lyle stammering with a lost look in his face, she began laughing. Actually, Sasha understood what Lyle was

trying to do, he just don’t know how to express it.

But even though she understands it, she just wants tease him as a payback for what he did a while ago.

Although Sasha was crying, inside of her was in fact felt very proud of her prince.

Even though Lyle was still a child and was only five years old, he was a very bright and smart child. If the word

‘Genius’ exist then that word is no doubt made for him, she believed.

He can speak in just a year after he was born. When he was two he can already read and although he always speak words she can’t understand, he was also way smarter than any other boy in his age.

And just recently, Lyle had gave her a shock of her life when he fought with the captain of the knights, Gil. He showed her that he’s not just any ordinary boy; he was far different from them.

She was amazed almost to the point that she would worship him.

But this is quite acceptable, his achievements so far made her awestruck and dumbfounded at the same time. For her or maybe for people in the world of Montania, Lyle’s achievements can only be said as miracles.

As his personal Attendant, who would not felt proud and happy?

Years passed by, Sasha didn’t notice that her affection towards him deepened; Only recently, after the fight, she understands her emotions.

And now seeing that scene a while ago, her emotions burst out.

She couldn’t hide her worries anymore.

But even so, she didn’t dare confess to him her true feelings towards him, because for her, Lyle is very far from her reach.

Her little genius prince even though was always with her and so close to her, was standing so far from her that even if she extends her both arms, she wouldn’t reach it; just like heaven and earth. She was contented having him beside her all the time.

Looking at her little prince, she couldn’t stop herself but giggle in happiness.

“So what books did you bought in that merchant?” she asked while smiling.

After they left the stall where they bought the swords, they passed by a merchant selling books. He immediately went there and looked at the books he was selling. Two books caught his attention and immediately bought them.

Lyle took out one of the books beside him.

“Hm? Ah yeah, one is a book about a certain monster called while this one was a book about races.”

“Book about races?”

“Yeah! I bought it because it describes the features and characteristics of each races. Like;

Human ― they have the highest number in population, and there were a lot of countries, too. When a kingdom was established, the ruler was called a King.

Dragons ― they are well known for their power and vitality, they also have a long life. Upon reaching maturity, they can transform into the shape of a human. When an empire was established, the king was called a Dragon King.

Beast ― they have the highest number in population next to humans. They are keen and nimble, and have different characteristics in every tribe. When the tribe was gathered together and formed an alliance, the chief was called a Beast King.

Demon ― there was a little bias about their ability, also no ability that seemed prominent, but as a whole, their abilities have the tendency to be high. When the empire was established, the king was called a Demon King.

Dwarf ― they have skillful hands and are good at making armors and tools. They were scattered in every country and

formed a guild which had the tendency to share their technique and craft. The best craftsman was called a Cave King.

Pixie ― They are the longest living race, they excelled at magic handling. The pixies were divided between the ones who lived in this world, and the ones who lived in the fairy village in the other world, which exchange with each other. The king was called a Fairy King.

Elf ― Their lifespan come 2nd after the pixies, not only magic, but also their crisis perception ability was high. They lived in the woods. Young elves often appeared outside the village. The village was called the garden, and the chief was called the Forest King.

These are some of the things that are written down, although there are still Races that are still undiscovered and was remained hidden especially in the still unexplored continent”

“I see! But Prince Lyle… don’t you think we need to return soon?”

“hH?... wha—hurry, mother will scold me if I’ll be late.”

While reading, Lyle didn’t notice that the sun is coming down, coupled with the accidents happened when they are walking around, Lyle forgot it! they immediately run towards the palace while he was looking forward for his supposedly fiancée.
