"Prince Nax, having 2 brothers with him being the middle child. Ran away at the age of 11, coming into the town of Shanna and growing up in Shanna for the rest of his 14 years." Said Mana.

"So why is he joining us?" Said Kaoru with her arms crossed.

"I've heard about the adventures the trio has been on." Said Nax. He has a nice, deep voice then Momoko suddenly leans against my shoulder. She likes him, but knowing she'll get crushed easily.

"Tell us one thing you have heard about." Demanded Kaoru.

"Well, the trio has defeated a big numbered of thugs." Said Nax.

"..You're not wrong about that."

"So I want you to hear my request." Said Nax," I need your help with taking down my father."

"Defeating a king? That's a yikes.."Said Kaoru.

"Why is it you want to take down your father off the throne?" Said Miyako.

"My father..a cruel king with horrible intentions" Said Nax as he looked away from us.

"How horrible?" Asked Momoko.

"You'll see for yourself when we get to the capital. My words won't make you believe it, but with your eyes, they can." Said Nax.

"Heh..I like this guy! We'll accept this request of yours." Said Kaoru.

"I'm glad." Said Nax with a smile, making Momoko faint.

iyako's POV

We have traveled 3 weeks to arrive in a village; within those 3 weeks, we had to learn about Nax as he learning about us. Just as we were about to rest in an inn, we heard horses come into the village so I decided to take a look by myself, but the others didn't want me to go only. I insisted, I'm tired of hearing just how beautiful and kind I am that I let anything pass me which I'm going to prove the them wrong. I became angry at them then they stayed silent probably; they have never seen me mad as I went out.

I find the villagers grouped up in the center of the village then made my way there. I see 2 males on white horses then a woman next to me noticed my existence, but I had my eyes focused on the 2 men on horses. One male had blonde hair, wearing a white mask that covered his eyes, a blue cape, and white amor that had the Hemling's family crest on his chest; the other male who was different from him, making him a follower of his, meaning, he's not important.

"Oh..Miss, They're part of the army of the Hemling family. Those who were a cape with white armor are usually the higher ranks." Said the woman.

"What are they here for?" As I continued to stare at the blonde male.

"They usually ask for a bit of food or their route check ups. At this moment, they're asking for food, but our food can feed each family here for a month.." Said the woman.

I continued to stare at the blonde male as he finally notices me. He makes way to me nudging the villagers aside with his horse without asking them to move.

"Hello, beautiful miss. Do you have any food for me?" Said the blonde male.

"Our food is only for us to survive. You must take your leave, sir."

The blonde male gets off his horse then stood in front of me. He had put his hand under my chin, lifting my face up, but I slapped it away and gave him a glare.

"Oh..? Interesting.." Said the blonde male as he gave a smirk.

"Leave. We have nothing for you here."

The blonde male tries to reach for my hand, but I grabbed it in an attempt to bend his arm. He counters what I was about to do, pulling me towards him then kicked his chest, doing a summersault. The blonde male still stands his ground while the other male tried to get off his horse to defend him, but the blonde male stops him. He gets back on the white horse, giving me a smile.

"..Quite interesting, beautiful lady. I hope our paths cross once again." Said the blonde male.

"If you hope then it's best if you don't come to this villager ever again." The blonde male gave a small smile as I said that.

"..Then I shall not come again.. I'm honored. See you again when our paths cross then. I bid you farewell, beautiful lady." Said the blonde male, exiting the village within a couple of seconds with his partner on his tail. The villagers thanked me for today then headed back to the inn. It wasn't much of a fight with action, but with words. As I entered, there was so much ruckus was made then enter the room where the girls and Nax where leaning against the wall, as if they saw something horrifying. I let out a sigh.

"I know you girls well enough, but I didn't think Nax would act like this as well."

"We're sorry, Miyako! It was my fault. I wanted to make sure nothing goes down so we watched from afar." Said Kaoru.

"I may not be strong like Kaoru or leading like Momoko. I..just can't always be this person, to fragile to get into a fight by myself."

"..Miyako.." Said Momoko.

"If..it's a group then I'll definitely call for you girls..and Nax."

"Sir, why do you keep smiling? Is it because of that blond girl?" Said the male.

"She's..quite the beauty. She caught my eye, Jeffery."

"Sir, you shouldn't fall into romance sine you're a high ranking solider." Said Jeffery.

"It'll be in secret.. if you were strucked for seeing a woman so beautiful, would you stay as a boring single male for your entire life until you die or go for the lady, hoping you can have life with her?"

"I...it'll be the lady..." Said Jeffery.

"Thought so.. plus I would do anything so the nobles wouldn't do the searching.."

"Calm down Prince Charming, you'd get executed if you do something against them.." Said Jeffery.

"Who knows.."

There was a slight pause from the two men then Jeffery looked at the blonde male and gave out a sigh.

"..sir, I could see flowers forming around you for some reason.." Said Jeffery," please stop smiling..I'm going to puke.."
