"Then get a room!"sabi ni Cloud sabay talikod sa kanila.
Hindi malaman ni Khalisso kung bakit bigla na lang parang pinipiga ang puso niya.
Khalisso: L-let me go.
As soon as the mysterious man let her go, Khalisso stared at Cloud. To be specific, she looked at his back walking away from them. Suddenly, she wanted to cry. She bit her lips to stop her tears from flowing.
Pero...

.
Dahil Sadyang baliw ang puso, nagulat na lang siya na unti-unti ng pumapatak ang kanyang mga luha.
She doesn't know what to do...
When, someone pulled her. And she just found herself again in the mysterious man's arms.
Mystery Man: Sa ganitong anggulo, walang makakaalam na umiiyak ka. Well, they will just think that you"re flirting with me.
Hindi mapagtanto ni Khalisso kung tatawa ba siya o iiyak.
Ito ang unang pagkakataon na may karamay siya; Na may maiiyakan siya.
Khalisso: Thank you.
Then she looked at the man.
Nagtagpo ang kanilang mga mata.
And one look from this man, took away all her pain.
Khalisso: I think I have to go now. So you can let me go?
Yakap-yakap pa rin kasi si Khalisso ng misteryosong lalaki.
Although she felt secured from his arms, it is still not right to be hugged by a stranger.
Pero kanina talaga, pinagpapantasyahan niya ang lalaking ito.
That kiss...
Mystery Man: Hindi mo ba tatanungin ang pangalan ko?
Khalisso: hahahaha. So What's your name?
Mystery Man: Give me your hand.
Sumunod naman si Khalisso.
Sinulat ng lalaki sa kanyang palad ang pangalan nito...
Khalisso: So you're Zero?
Mystery Man: Yes. I'm Zero. Don't forget me, princess.
Mababakas sa mga mata ni Zero ang kalungkutan. Gusto niyang tanungin ang lalaki ngunit bigla na lang siya nitong hinalikan sa kamay.
Zero: Till we meet again, princess!
At parang isang bula, bigla itong naglaho sa kanyang paningin.
Pero ang mainit na hininga nito na dumampi sa kanyang kamay ay ramdam na ramdam pa rin ni Khalisso.
L. Margaret: Princess, the Queen is looking for you. Magsisimula na ang event so they need your presence.
Bumalik na nga sa stage si Khalisso.
Master Rong: Thank you all for coming here in this wonderful event. As you all know, the Emperor wanted to organize this event to gather all potential talented young masters that can help the Empire to become more fruitful than today. So to start this event, i wanted to inform everyone that the theme for this contest is to cater "The beauty of Hongyuan Empire". The judges of this contest ofcourse will be our Queen Lucy and the four princesses. The top 3 winners will compete to the other 9 kingdoms of Hongyuan Empire, 6 months from now. Also, the winners today will be trained for 5days inside the Main Empire. This training will be the preparation for the "Battle of the Kingdoms."
Every participants became hyper. Sino nga bang hindi?! It will be a great privilege to be trained in the Main Empire. Also, you might be even get a chance to meet the Famous Emperor.
It was said that the Emperor of the Hongyuan Empire is not only talented but the most handsome man in the entire Holy Land. Also, the Emperor possessed one of the 4 elements which is the water. He is considered the 2nd most powerful person yet the youngest among the other two emperors in the Holy Land.
Queen Lucy: I will also grant the champion of this event to marry my beautiful daughter, Princess Claire.
Ang kaninang maingay na audience ay biglang natahimik sa sinabi ng kanilang Queen.
Guy1: Did i hear it right? I can marry the number 1 beauty?
Guy2: As if you'll be the champion. I will do everything to get the princess.
Queen Lucy: ofcourse, if u think that my daughter does not deserve you then you can decline my offer. But i can still grant you any wish you want. This is also true if a woman will become the CHAMPION.
Pero siyempre, walang magtatangka na hindi pakasalan ang prinsesa. It will be an insult to the princess.
Pwera na lang kung si Cloud ang tatanggi since everyone knows that he and Princess Cloie are in love with each other.
On the other hand, Khalisso was remained calm despite the fact that his own mother wanted to marry her off without her consent.
She smiled to everyone as if she already knew about it and she agreed to this marriage.
Sa di inaasahang pagkakataon, nakita na naman ni Khalisso si Cloud. Nakatingin din ito sa kanya.
Dahil medyo malayo siya kay Cloud ay hindi niya mabasa ang emosyong bumabalot sa mga mata nito.
Pero, ito na naman ang puso niya. Parang may pumipiga na naman rito.
Khalisso: (He is really bad for my health. Nakakainis naman kasi. Bakit ba di maka-move on si Claire sa kanya? Ilang beses na ba siya nitong sinaktan?! Anu bang meron kay Cloud?! Mas gwapo naman si Zero.)
As soon as she remembered Zero, she tried to find him among the audience.
She wanted to know his reaction. Hindi rin niya alam bakit ganun na lang siya kainteresado sa lalaking ito.
Few minutes of searching but there is no Zero. She decided to give up because she felt like she will see him again soon.
Anyway, deep inside Khalisso's mind, she has now a plan to destroy her mother's scheme.
Master Rong: Alright everyone, the contest will now start. So please settle down.
Nagsimula na ngang magperform ang unang kalahok.
Tinawag ni Khalisso si Master Rong. She whispered something to Master Rong and this old man nodded to the princess.
Kung anu ang kanyang plano ay silang dalawa lang ni Master Rong ang nakakaalam.
