Today, she dresses in her finest clothes to meet her very good friend. The good friend that has never abandoned her and has always been with her.

Aeana.

Oh only if only Aeana was a man, she could stop her search for the man in her life. However, as a princess of the empire, it is her preparatory to give birth to the next generation of the ruling class.

Oh well, life is like a song, the next page will always be turned and even greater music will be sung.

She dashes around the city of Bemont to look for her very very good friend who has caught a case of the blue.

She knows just what will cheer her up. A fight. Aeana likes to fight for her, the princess's honor the most. However, until now she hasn't found her good friend. Ever since that day, she does not know what happens, however it is most likely that Eliza girl...

Oh well.

As she wonders the city in search of her friend, the knights was busy training.

All knights who saw her stopped what they were doing to give her a greeting.

However, Aries waves them away, she likes a good fight the most though she can't fight in melee that well. Distracted from her search, she stands to see the knights fight.

She loves everything about their battle. The clash of steel on steel, the shine of the armor, the knight shining brightly in battle.

She loves strong man. Who are also handsome. And have good personality. Can cook too. A person that gave her a giddy feeling.

Basically, she loves the hero.

What she loves most about him?

Well, Aries won't lie to herself. She loves his face. It was a master-crafted master piece. She loves the feeling that he is going to give her honor.

Everything about him was perfect.

His armor and arms feel like weapons that come out of legend itself.

She loves his personality, humble when he can, knowing to take charge when he is needed.

However, up to now, she hasn't seen her hero fights in close quarter combat yet, but she is sure eh will be amazing.

If he can't, he will be just a disappointment in the end.

Speaking of fighting, here come a barbaric man who fights brutally whether against girl or man.

The hero's friend, the third wheel in their relationship, Ayva. If he could go away with that other childhood friend of his back to their village and starts a family, that will be great, however, she won't say it.

She is the main character in her story, and the princess knows the main character won't act that despicable.

Instead, she greets him good-heartedly. A good main character is loved by all, and is good to all.

Sir Ayva has come to watch the training of the knights just as she has.

Aries has heard many things about this Ayva, however, she hasn't seen it for herself. Leonel told her that Ayva was currently the best fighter among them all. Eliza turns away. Micah told her Ayva was the best fighter among them all. Aeana told her he was full of opening. While Aries has seen his skill in barehanded combat, she has never seen his normal skill.

So, politely, she asks him.

"Would sir Ayva mind demonstrating the skill of a party member of the hero for everyone to see."

In fact, Aries was excited about it. She likes strong men the most. If Ayva proves himself in front of her, he will earn her favor.

Instead, Ayva shy away from the challenge the knights gave him. Immediately after hearing the princess says that, of course countless knights would come to challenge him.

However, instead of earning his honor, Ayva flinches as if he has swallowed something bitter.

Princess Aries frowns slightly at the action, which she perceives as unmanly. However, she decided to give him more chances. A bit urging, and she could see it, she knows it. She whispers to him

"The knights will only accept someone strong. It is not just for you, if you shy away from the battle, not only will your reputation be affected, it will affect Leonel and Eliza too. You don't want that do you?"

Instantly, there was a subtle change in the man in front of her. The hesitation Ayva has slowly fades away.

Steeling himself, Ayva walks in a circle. He does not have a weapon in his hand. Instead he borrows a trainer's wooden sword from a squire, the lightest of them.

And then he accepted the challenge.

The princess walks home late at night with excitement running through her.

Blood was drawn on wood.

She can't contain her excitement. She ran quickly back to the inn to inform Leonel. There was a question in her mind that needs answering.

"Hey Leonel, between you and Ayva, who is stronger?"

"Princess?" Leonel asks, confused

"You two are fighting tomorrow, I have already arranged it. I want to know who is the strongest among you two."

With a change of expression, Leonel looks at her with seriousness

"Princes, you-"

However, Aries was already walking away looking for her friend who has the blue.

"Aeana, between you, the hero and Ayva, who do you think is the strongest?"

Suddenly, princess Aries excitedly drops it on the knightess.

Aeana was panic, thinking about the scary fiery woman with red hair always next to Ayva for the last few days. However, Aries was already in her own world, in her mind the most burning question was who the strongest was among the three figures of her life.

Micah who was nearby dropped his head, upon hearing it.

Walking away, he looks forward to making sure that Ayva will be the winner of that competition, before the princess's interest wanes
