"h-how..how did I lose" the prince ask.. he just lost against me after all

"Now..you should keep your promise, you will take back everything that you said to Cassandra and kneel for her forgiveness"

"I'll never do that! She push Anna away! And force her to leave"

"She didn't, and you'll find out soon enough"

"What do you mean? It was clear to all of us! She is a selfish woman who will do anything to get what she wants! How can you be tricked by her!?"

"Perhaps your the one being tricked.."  I put my sword inside it's sheath, and walk towards the exit.. my body hurts, I can feel the aftermath if that fireball and I lose my balance

Before I can fall to the ground, someone catches me, it was Cassandra, sweating and panting, she must've run all the way here

"You idiot..." She said as she catches her breath

"Is that how you congratulate the winner?, I just won"

"Winner yes, but you have more injury that the prince..you idiot.." she help me up, putting my arms on her shoulder, her hand hold onto my arm and waist. That's when I spot 3 hooded figure walking on within the crowd

I know exactly who it was..it seems that it's a success..

"The battle isn't finish yet" I said as I look at Cassandra, giving her a sign that I will stand by my own for now,and she did let me do it "prince.. you said that Cassandra did all of those right? Why not we ask Anna herself"

"What are you talking about?" The prince said, then I pointed at the hooded people..before they take off their hood to revel themselves

It was Thomas,Anna and Emellie

"Anna? What's the meaning of this"

Thomas jumped from the stands to the arena below, of course helping both Anna and Emellie too.

Cassandra looked so relieved that Anna is safe, she run towards her friend and hugged her..with that scene..everyone in the crowd starts to talk to themselves and what's happening

I eventually sat down the ground and smile "Thomas.. can you tell the prince what happened..I need a rest"

"Ughh- fine, I'll gladly tell the story" Thomas said as he stand forward for everyone to see "I'll tell you everything now"

After knowing where Anna is..I volunteered to get her..I can't believe it, kidnapped so that Cassandra will be reprimanded by the prince..it's like killing 2 birds with one stone. That Celeste Hayness.. she's gonna pay formthis.

After gearing up I went out got out of the academy to save Anna, then I heard someone running towards me

"W-wait! Mr Olivier! I'm coming with you" it was Emellie, she is also wearing her gear

"Go back, this will be dangerous"

"I know!, but.. I'm I should take responsibility.. I am partly at fault..with the assassination..and Miss Anna's kidnapping.."

"You are also a victim here"

"B-but!, I still wanna help.. lady Cassandra..she's an amazing person..and my idol"

Emellie told us everything, Hayness is the one who hired those assassin..she wanted to be the crown princess, to get more power and authority..but when that failed.. she found another opportunity to strike that night the prince broke off the engagement with Cassandra

I can only sigh, I can't just say no to this girl! She really felt bad and wanted to help..I can't help my self

"Fine fine you can go" I smiled and ruffle her hair making it messy "but before we go, let me ask you. What made you change your mind? You told us that if you disobey and said anything..Hayness would make do things to you.."
