《Clato》chapter three
Advertisement
Cato was still fast asleep, lying down on his stomach.
Clove returned to her room to see Cato laying there. Good. He hadn't woken up and seen her go. She left him there to go do some training, so he would think she had done that all along. She soon mastered 31 meters and moved onto 32. This was as fast as she'd ever mastered them before. She guessed it was because of all the pressure resting on her to help Cato.
If her name was called.

Cato opened his eyes and noticed Clove wasn't beside him. He frowned slightly.
Clove continued to practice until her arms were sore. She had mastered the ability to slice dummies heads of in one throw by that time. She went and took a seat at the benches.
Cato walked out of the dorms and out into the training area.
Clove saw Cato come in. She didn't know what to do. She felt like if she went close enough he would read her mind or see it in her expression, but she knew if she stayed away he'd be suspicious. She decided to go up to him.
"Cato!" she exclaimed, running up to him.
Cato looked towards Clove, he smiled.
"Where'd you go?"
Clove was speechless for a second, feeling guilty about what she was about to say. She had never wanted to lie to Cato.
"Oh, just down here to train, that's all. I can behead the dummies now!" She said, sounding as convincing as possible.
Cato smiled.
"That's great cutie," he told her and kissed the top of her head. "Gotta head home soon." He frowned.
"Oh, ok." Clove replied. "I'll miss you babe!" She added with a smile.
"I'll miss you too." Cato answered, kissing her lips gently. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok. I love you!" She said, returning the kiss.
"I love you too." He smiled and left the academy.

The rest of the week continued as per usual. Clove threw knives from even further away, Cato improved his sword fighting skills, and they would stop to kiss and chat quite often. Clove hid her secret quite well, and told Cato she had decided not to volunteer. Cato believed her. Now her fate rested solely in the escorts hands as she chose the name of the girl...

8 84Tales of the Legendary Scholar
They meet in the most unlikely moment and turned their life around. Freidrech newly arrived in his own nation's capital city, which is so foreign to him compared to his village's idyllic and nondiscriminatory atmosphere, after he is forced to come. Now, he is facing a royal prince and tells him to bow. This draws out one of his late father's teachings from the deepest recesses in his mind. "The blood of your great ancestors runs in your veins. Don't easily bow down to anyone, or accept suppression by any being, not even from a monarch, unless you pledge your allegiance to him. Also, giving in to oppression is directly telling the oppressor that you're easy prey and open for manipulation." He is uncertain on how to face this oppression right now. Will he bows or not? What will he do to uphold his father's words while keeping his life safe? As for the prince, Theodrech has nothing to do with Freidrech, so he wishes to let this slip, but the boy opens his mouth and proposes the most ludicrous challenge he ever heard and triggers his curiosity. "I, Freidrech Goederf Gerboud, son of the late Village Chief Louvel Gerboud of Wrilon, will challenge you, Your Highness, to a battle of riddles… If you win, I will not only bow but be your servant for the rest of my life." This amuses the prince. It is the first he met a boy of the same age who is not intimidated by the air of authority he projects. Rather, this boy challenges him. "Why are you so headstrong? In fact, bowing to me is an honor. You saw the King's noble Knights. When they saw me, they bowed," says Theodrech, testing Freidrech. "Allow me to be forward, Your Highness. For me, bowing to a monarch does not guarantee loyalty. If I were you, I rather have men who stand straight in my presence but who got my back, than bowing men who are dreaming of my death," replies Freidrech. The prince’s curiosity increases. A huge smile is seen on his face. Prince Theodrech decides to take Freidrech under his wing. Little did they know, this boy who Prince Theodrech takes in as his confidant and friend in the most ridiculous fashion is someone indispensable in his life and the one who can help him succeed the throne when he almost believes he has lost.
