She waved her hand in front of my shocked face.

"Hello? Prince Chay, are you alright?" She said reassuringly. I shook my head 'no'.

"This is obscured. A woman, such as yourself, is too weak to escort a royal family member. This is must be some kind of joke!" I yelled. I slumped down in a chair. She looked at me with an annoyed expression.

"Sir with all do respect, I would like to advise you that this not a joke. I am your escort. Yes, I am the best in the kingdom and yes I am a woman. I apologize for not fitting your standards of a knight but I do hope that you will still accept me. " she bowed with respect and honor. I could tell she swallowed her pride to say that. I sighed and nodded my head.

"Fine, but only if you pass one test. A test that will prove whether or not you are worthy to protect me throughout our journey. You will dual 3 of our castle's finest knights. If take down all three then you will be my guide." She looked at me and sighed while nodding. We left my room and went towards the training yard. When we arrived to the training yard, all the knights stopped what they were doing and bowed upon my presence. "I need the strongest knights to dual against my so called 'escort', Lee." I yelled. A man, along with two others, in the back risen from the ground and marched his way towards me.

"Well do it, your highness. My name is John and It'd be an honor to escort you." He bowed once again. Jonathan got up and got into a fighting stance. Lee put her helmet back on and got into position. "Lee, I see you're still causing trouble here. Maybe you should just go home little girl." He mocked and snickered. She just laughed.

"Oh please, you honestly think I'm going to just go home? I'm the strongest one here and was given the opportunity of a lifetime. I'm not taking that away from myself. The real question is, do you think you can beat me? I've defeated you in combat more than once." She commented. It seems John and Lee have a background. This might add more tension in the fight for both of them. John swing his sword around only to be blocked by Lee's. The clanking sounds of swords clashing together were filled with determination. John as well as Lee we're breathing heavy. It was a tough fight as both seemed to be equally matched. John swung his sword once again but this time was able to hit Lee's out of her reach. He laughed at her weak approach. She took a deep breathe and charged at John. She kicked him in the crotch which made fall to his knees, crying in pain. She grasped his head and kneed his face, knocking him out cold. Blood trickled from his nose and mouth. "Alright, who's next?" She asked, getting into her fighting stance once more. The other two tried to jump her but still ended up in the same position as John. Knocked out cold in the dirt. Lee took her helmet off and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Okay, are you ready to go your highness?" She asked looking in my direction. My eyes were widened and mouth was opened from shock.

"Uh, yeah let's go." We made our way towards the kingdoms gates and began our journey to Warnburg.
