Baja, the prince’s guard went to search for Amelia just like the prince ordered but when he got there he couldn’t find her.
He searched around the vicinity with hope to find her but she was long gone then he went back to the prince.
” Where is she?” The prince asked eagerly looking around for her.
” Forgive me my prince, I lost her” Baja replied.
” Whatt, you’re so dumb Baja, too dumb”
” That was an easy task and you failed, she’s just a woman, she couldn’t have gone that far” Klaus said.
” Apologies”
” It’s fine, there will be another chance for her…….. she’s just too perfect just the way I love them”
” Just find me a suitable one to replace her, I’ll use that to soothe my raging soul” he added.
” Yes Prince” Baja replied.
” We will meet again and when that time comes…….you won’t escape from me” Klaus said in his mind.
.
About some Minutes later, Laura and Amelia arrived at her place and they entered.
” You live here alone?” Amelia asked.
” No, I live with my brother, I’m sure he should be around the house” she replied.
” Where are your parents?” Amelia asked.
” They are both dead, it’s just my brother and I since then” Laura replied.
” I’m sorry about that” Amelia said.
” That’s alright”
” This is where you’ll stay for the night, I hope it’s not too ti-ght” she said and Amelia smiled.
” You’re funny, this place is bigger than my room in the village, thank you for very much” she replied.
” You’ve been so kind” she added.
” I’ll make something for us to eat, why don’t you rest” Laura said then the door opened and a young man entered.
” That’s my brother” Laura said as the man got closer.
” Hey Laura, who’s this?” The man said.
” Amelia, meet my brother Leo….. Leonardo, meet Amelia” Laura introduced.
” Nice to meet you Amelia, and plea-sed call me Leo” he said offering his hand for a handshake.
” Nice to meet you too Leo” I replied shaking his hand.
” Amelia will be staying with us for tonight, she’s new in town so I decided to give her shelter” Laura said.
” That’s no problem at all…… you’re welcome” leo replied and Amelia noticed he couldn’t st©p glaring at her.
Laura also noticed the look in her brother’s eyes so she managed to lead him away leaving Amelia in the room.
” Laura, where did you find her?….. she’s a damsel” Leo said to his sister as they went away.
” I told you she’s new in town and she Seems like a nice person” Laura replied.
” I think I like her alre-ady….you know I always wanted someone who’s not from this city”Leo said.
‘ all the women in this town are Bewitched by prince…… c’mon Laura, can I make a move on her?” Leo said.
” Calm down big man, she’s tougher than she looks…….I saw her took down a man with just a strike” Laura said.
” Really!!” Leo said surprised.
” I’m telling you……it took me by surprise and well” she replied.
” All of these makes me want her more, she’s just my King of woman, even if I don’t win the contest I’ll know I got something better” leo said.
” You ba-rely know this girl and you’re running your head over her alre-ady, why don’t you just take a break” Laura said.
” I will, I just want to know this girl more….that’s all” he replied.
” You will have your chance she’s going nowhere for today……so calm your nerves” she said to him.
” Alright alright….” Leo said before leaving and Laura smiled nodding her head.
.
In the evening when dinner was served, they called Amelia and she joined them and they all sat round the table.
” I really don’t know how to thank you too…… you’re too kind to me…….thank you ” Amelia said.
” It’s Okay dear, it’s been a long time we’ve had any visitors, so this is alright with us” Laura replied.
” So Amelia, Laura told me you c@m£ for tomorrow’s contest, I thought only men are the one’e to enjoy such things”
” I’m surprised a woman like you can travel a far distance to watch the contest, you must really love it” Leo said.
” No, I think you got it all wrong…….. I’m not here to watch the contest, actually I’m here to repres£nt my village in the contest” Amelia said.
They both look at each other surprised to what she just said.
” You mean you’re a fighter for tomorrow’s contest?” Leo asked.
” Yes, this is my warrior’s bagde….. I’m sorry you got it all wrong” Amelia said.
” Uh……this is going to be weird” Laura said.
” Is there a problem?” Amelia asked.
” My brother is also a fighter, he’s among the two warrior’s repres£nting our city” Laura said.
” Oh, you’re right……. it’s indeed going to be weird” Amelia said.
” Don’t worry, If you and I meet in the arena…….I can decide to lose for you” Leo said looking at her Coquettishly.
” Oh plea-se, you don’t have to……..we just have to give our best besides they are looking for the best” Amelia replied trying to avoid his disturbing gaze.
” Why do you want to fight anyway?……women don’t usually p@rticipate in things like this” Laura asked.
” Our village lack lot of things and with the prize money in the contest, it can be used to sort it” Amelia replied.
” So your village couldn’t provide a male fighter but a female…… aren’t you afraid of getting hurt”
” You know people get killed at some stages” Leo said.
” I heard but I’m not scare of getting hurt, I’ve encountered a lot worse” she replied.
” That’s great, at least this will change people’s believe about the women being useless”
” And if you happens to win the contest…..this will instill courage in every women out there” Laura said.
” Seems like I have more reasons to win this contest, and I don’t like letting people down” Amelia replied.
” I’ve never come across a woman with so much boldness like you……I like your kind of people” Leo said and Amelia smiled a little not knowing whether to reply or not.
” Tell me more about the champion of Malmoe” she said changing the subject.
” Ergon?…….why are you asking?” Laura asked.
” I’ve heard about him…..I just wanted to know more” she replied.
” Ergon is a great and skillful fighter, he’s undefeated and all his victims either end up dead or ba-rely alive” Leo narrated.
” He’s strong, tall and broad, his sword his twice the size of my arm and he knows how to use it ”
” To prevent more people dying he was crowned the champion of Malmoe, given alot of gifts and rewards”
” There are some rumours that he was chos£n by the gods and they instill in him the strength of a hundred men” Laura added.
” No one ever d@t£s challenge him, so even if you win the contest my some miracle, don’t even think of challenging him” Leo concluded.
” Will he be pres£nt at the contest?” Amelia asked.
” Yes, always” Laura replied.
” The king must really be nice to give him so much honour and rewards and respect” Amelia said.
” King Mehra is a great king……the king who is willing to sacrifice his own daughter for peace to reign in the kingdom” Laura said and Amelia looked surprised.
” What are talking about?……. I’ve never heard of that before” Amelia said.
” The kingdom was in great danger by the prophesy from the gods that the child was cursed” Laura said.
” The village never heard of such stories before” Amelia replied.
” We’ve all heard the story of the cursed princess, the gods foretold that the child will bring terror to the kingdom”
” The king couldn’t have that so they had to sacrifice the child to the gods and since then our kingdom was at peace.” She concluded.
” They killed their own child?” Amelia asked in shocked.
” In other to save the kingdom they watched her burn on the alter…….. Alive immediately she was born” Leo completed.
” Everyone owed him for his great sacrifice which made everyone love him and his reign” Laura said.
” That is unbelievable but how can he be so sure he sacrificed the right child…..he could be wrong” Amelia said.
” Well, the gods used only one person to s£nd message to the kingdom and that’s the Oracle”
” The Oracle is forbidden to lie or give false prophecy, do whatever she says is true…………”
” And the gods has never been wrong, everything they say always come to pas-s” Laura concluded.
” Enough talk, let’s eat before it get cold” Leo said and the started eating.

{Next Day}
.
Throu-ghout the night they all talked more about some things and most especially the contest.
However, Leo has been trying everyway to get clinging with Amelia which she also noticed as well.
Leo signalled to Laura which she un-derstood perfectly as she announced her dep@rture to be-d to give his brother a chance.
Leo took the opportunity to engaged Amelia in a conversation for a long time before Amelia decided to call it a night.
As Amelia woke up in the morning she did her early morning training which ended for a short time.
” Good morning” Laura greeted as she was done.
” Good morning, thank you for all this” Amelia said.
” You’re welcome, hope my brother didn’t disturb you much?….I know he can be a headache” Laura said and she smiled.
” Yeah, your brother is something……..it seems Everyman in this city have the habit of flir-ting with anyone” Amelia said.
” I’m so sorry about that, I haven’t seen him like that with anyone ever……he also believes every women in this city is un-der the Prince’s charm” she said.
” It’s not possible for everyone to be crazy about the prince, he’s just a man with higher power” Amelia said.
” Perhaps you’re saying that because you haven’t seen him up close……. I’m sure you will stupefied when you did” she said.
” I think I should get prepared for the contest, it will start very soon” Amelia said.
” Okay”
.
After Amelia was done with her preparation, she and Leo left to the palace together to get registered.
Amelia also admit to herself that she find his company fun as he’s a jovial person with a hvge s-en-se of humor.
They arrived at the palace and they went to the temple where all the other fighters are waiting.
They all submit their warrior’s bagde and when Amelia submit hers they all keep their gaze at her.
” Why are they staring me?” She asked Leo.
” That’s because you’re the only woman among us, and most people believe women should stay at home” Leo replied.
” That’s crazy…..all my life I’ve always wanted to do something like this, which is why I decided to become a hunter” she replied.
” What about you?…..what do you think?” She asked him.
” I think I alre-ady told you before, I love br@ve women like you, who doesn’t fear anyone and capable of defending themselves”
” Especially someone strong and as beautiful as you are, someone I know very well can never let me down”
” Someone my heart leap for every moment I set my eyes on her and someone whose smile give me joy” Leo said flir-tatiously.
” You cannot change……you don’t even know me” Amelia said.
” I feel like I’ve known you my entire life and that’s what love is all about, with someone you get connected with” he said.
” We have a contest at hand…. We should concentrate or else we will both lose” she said.
” I don’t care……as long as you accept me, I’ll always be a winner”
” Get a grip of yourself, Leo……someone is coming” Amelia said pointing to a woman in a sacramental go-wn coming.
” That’s the Oracle” Leo said.
” Oh” she muttered as she watched as the Oracle washed the fighters hands one after the other.
” What is she doing?” Amelia asked.
” I don’t know….. probably one of the ways of communicating to the gods, the woman has a special gift” leo said.
Amelia watched intently as what she was doing and when it got to her turn the Oracle st©pped and looked into her eyes.
” You”
” I know You”

” you”
” I know you”
All eyes are now on Amelia immediately the Oracle said that and and Amelia was wondering what was going on.
” I don’t think that’s possible, I’ve never been to this place since I was born and I’m certain I’ve never seen you before”
” So I don’t think that’s possible…… it’s probably someone else” Amelia said.
” Who are you?” The Oracle asked.
” My name is Amelia from the village of Haida and I believe this is the first time we are meeting” Amelia replied.
” Are you sure?….. because I don’t forget face that easily and your face looks familiar but I don’t know exactly where”
” My memory might be a little bit foggy but It seems I’ve seen you before…….or perhaps maybe it’s someone else” the Oracle said.
” Probably someone else” Amelia replied as the Oracle washed her hand also.
” How come you’re the one repres£nting your village?…..is there no man in your village?” The Oracle asked and she smiled.
” None of them are strong enough to repres£nt our village which is why they s£nt me” Amelia replied.
” I wish you good luck” the Oracle said.
” Thank you” she replied then the Oracle went to others to wash their hands.
” Are you re-ady?…….there is still time for you to back out……no one will blame you” Leo said to her.
” Funny, I was about to tell you to last longer in the contest” Amelia replied and they smiled.
.
About some minutes later they were given some gear to put on and they were lead to the arena.
Immediately they entered the arena which was filled thousands of people who are cheering for them.
Amelia was looking around in amazement as this is her first time of taking p@rt in something like this.
She watched as people were screaming and chanting the name of their fighter as the contest was about to start.
As they were lead to the center of the arena, they face the high podium where the royal family are sitting.
” Aren’t we supposed to be given weapons?” Amelia asked.
” Oh I forget this is your first time here…….the first three stage is with your fist then the rest are with weapons” Leo answered.
” Oh I don’t know that” Amelia said.
” Can you fight with your ba-re hands?” Leo asked.
” That’s one of my first training….so yes I can fight with anything and against anyone” Amelia replied.

Aurora’s POV
.
I’m on my way heading to the arena where the contest will be taking place in a few minutes later.
By the time I got to the arena I can hear the people’s scream which means the contestants are there.
I climbe-d the podium where my parents are sitting and went to join them.
” Good morning ” I greeted.
” Good morning dear” mother replied.
” Where is you brother?…..he should be here by now” father asked.
” He should be on his way…….I saw him coming on my way here…..he will join us soon ” I replied.
Then i watched as the contest official introduce them to everyone one after the other.
” My Lord, this is Hakan from the village of Meshan” he said and the man bowed.
” My Lord, this is Jordan from the village of Kashma” he introduced and the man also bowed.
I took my seat and look out to the contestants and I was surprised to see a female among them.
” My Lord, this is Aurora from the village of Haida” he introduced and she bowed like the rest.
” Mother, that’s a woman” I said.
” Yes Aurora, I was surprised as well…..she must be br@ve to take p@rt in the contest” mother replied.
I looked down at her and I smiled, she’s tall and beautiful, this will be the first time I’ll be seeing a woman fighting.
‘ perhaps after this contest I can get to know her better, she’s the kind I like’ I thought to myself.
” Why are you smiling?” I heard looking beside me to see Niklaus sitting beside me.
” Oh it’s nothing” I replied.
” Oh it’s not, I’ve recognize that smile very well, most of my ladies have that alot whenever they see what they like”
” Most especially when I get undressed before them and…….”
” Eeew….shut up Niklaus, you’re disgusting” I snapped at him and he laughed.
” I’m just trying to make you un-derstand,….maybe you have someone you like among the fighters”
” Maybe the guy with the broad che-st and…….”
” Hold on……is that a woman among them?” He said surprisedly just as I was when I saw the woman.
” Yes…… that’s right” I replied.
” Hold on……I know her, she’s that girl” he said and I turned to him with so much curiousness.
I know my brother promiscuity and I really hope she’s not among one of those shameless women.
” How do you know her?” I asked.
” I saw her in town yesterday but she got away……I knew I’m going to see her again” Klaus said excitedly.
” And why are you looking for her?, Don’t tell me you’re planning to take her to be-d like you did others” I asked.
” What else?…… she’s look beautiful and tall just like I love them, and she looks different” Klaus said.
” I’m just curious as to what could bring such a young and beautiful maiden to such a dangerous contest”
” she have no fear of her life, I’ve set my eyes on her and I’m planning to have her after the competition over” Klaus said.
” it’s not every woman you find attrac-tive must you la-id with, for once in your life have a respect for women” I said.
” Nons-en-se, I am a prince and the heir to the throne of my father, I can do as I like, I can do anything I want” he said boastfully.
I was about to reply him then I saw father standing up to address the people before the contest begin.
” I greet you all citizens of Malmoe and I welcome you all to this contest. As it is know as our culture in this kingdom to have this contest annually”
” I commend every warriors in the arena today and I wish them Goodluck, May the best fighter wins” he concluded.
” The contest may begin” he added and everyone cheered.

Amelia’s POV
.
The contest starts shortly after the king’s welcome address and the official called up a fighter and his opponent.
Two men were called up and they started fighting, all the fighters are hvge and twice my size.
I know I can’t be fazed or distracted by that so I watched intently at their fight to know what to do in case I come against them.
Just like my father used to tell me ‘know your opponent and study their weakness and use it to your advantage’.
A while later people cheered as the other guys beat up his opponent and he was declared the winner.
The next fighter was Leo and another guy and I smiled hoping to see an interesting match.
The official waved the flag for them to start and the other opponent charged against leo violently.
Leo was caught up by surprise as the man took him off the ground and smash him very ha-rd on the ground.
He pounced on him and started raining punches on him, Leo tried tried to get free but couldn’t.
After a while Leo was able to pu-ll out his leg then kick him off, he sprang up off the floor and charged against the man.
The man made a move to punch him but Leo dodged it then punch him very ha-rd on the face.
Leo now have the upper hand as he beat up the man until he surrendered and Leo was declared winner.
Two more fighters were called until it gets to me and walked to the center of the arena and I saw my opponent.
He’s one of the hvge one and after bowing to the royal family the official waved the flag to start.
” You’re not supposed to be here, this is not a place for women” the man said.
” And why is that?” I asked.
” Women don’t fight or become a warrior, you’re supposed to be at home, like every other women” he said.
” women also have the right to be who they want to be, you men don’t have the right to choose for us” I replied.
” Then I’ll use you to set an example to every women out there, that women will always be a tender little thing……a coward” he said.
” And I will use you to set an example to every man out there that women are stronger than they look” I replied.
I guess he got very angry with my reply because his expression changed and he charged at me.
He charged at me like a bull intending to take me off the ground and as a hunter I know how to take down a bull.
As he got to me I turned swiftly dodging his attacked then punch him him on his side then gave him one more at his back.
He fell to the ground and quic-kly stood back up then throw his punch at me, I caught his hand and punch him in his jaw.
He fell to the ground spurting out blood from his mouth, as he made to stand up I moved to him and kick him down.
He fell down unable to stand again and I was declared the winner which cause a loud cheer from the audience.
It seems the place people are happy with me being victorious as i left the arena for the next pairs.
” You fought well…….I’m surprised with the way you carry yourself when fighting that man” Leo said as I sat down.
” despite him being twice your size you defeated him flawlessly” he added.
” Actually, people like him are very easy to take down, they don’t pose much of a threat” I replied.
” Overconfidence, be careful these men are dangerous” Leo said.
” I know, so am I”

Leo and Amelia made it throu-gh the first round and also throu-gh the second round of the contest.
The official announced the fighter for the next stage which is also the last stage before the use of weapon.
Leo and Amelia are paired up to fight themselves and they both smiled and Amelia went to the center of the arena.
As Leo was about to join her, his sister Laura c@m£ to him.
” What’s your plan?” She asked.
” I don’t have any” he replied.
” She pose a great threat, I didn’t know she was that good, do you think you can take her?” Laura asked.
” I don’t know……..she’s very good” Leo replied.
” Remember, you have to win ….I know she’s a good person and you like her butvwe nee-d this money” Laura said.
” Yes I know……… I’ll try” he replied then went to the centre to join Amelia.
” I was thinking maybe you’ve decided not to fight” Amelia said and he smiled.
” You think I’ll back out for you?,…..”
” Every man must appear strong before his love ones and this is my chance to prove it to you” he said.
” maybe after this you will finally agree to be mine” he added.
” I commend your ability to flir-t in this moment……maybe after I win I’ll give you a chance” Amelia said.
” I love the sound of that but I’m sorry I really have to win this contest, you can just back out now to avoid any kind of embarras-sment” Leo said.
” That’s funny…….I was going to tell you the same thing, I have a reason coming here and I must accomplish it” she said.
After bowing to the royal family the officiating officer waved the flag for them to start.
” This is your last chance to back out” Leo said.
” Let’s get it over with”
