Clang! The sound of sword hitting a training dummy wearing an armor can be heard through the walls of.teh training area..
The one training is me..I've been hitting this dummy and practicing my swings and attack combination every morning..even if this day will be a bit busy..tonight will be the ball..the clothes that I'm wearing is all ready, washed and straighten out
With me is Tom who's helping me with my training, but since he kinda got tired after using his magic a bit too much he is just now sitting on a bench
"Dude..you really have a freakish stamina..." Said Thomas
"I don't use magic..that's why" I answered after stopping to take a drink of water
"I know I know, I'll be taking my leave now, you too! You should rest so you will have lots of energy later this night alright?"
"Right right..I won't miss the ball, Anna and Cassandra will be pissed at me if I don't come"
"Yeah!" He walks away "so you better go" he shouts as he walk away
The only thing that I can do is sigh and continue my training..closing my eyes to concentrate..I can still remember the sensation when I blocked that magical lightning with my sword...back then it's out if desperation..but if I can do it normally..that's one skill useful in fighting magic users, I'm glad that I got this sword from Cassandra..I know it's a rare and strong blade, but now it had give me another useful skill
I as only lucky that the lightning magic Cassandra's father used on me was absorbed by my blade's properties..but what if it's not the case? What if...just like that time.that fireball used by that assassin on us..it exploded in contact.. or what if it's a breath of flame magic?.. electricity is easy to block since the sword is a metal that attracts it..
Which other magic types you have to be more precise... Focus.. and skillful.. if I want to be the strongest knight like I've been saying all this time..I need to learn this

After training I went back straight to my room, I think I over did it, my whole body is sore..thankfully there's still plenty of time for I was so sure I can wake up in time.. and so..I closed my eyes and sleep
________________
"He's late" I said while sighing..the ball is already starting and that man is still not here.. he promise that he will come I even pick a suit for him after trying to go in his school uniform "Thomas..do you know where Desmond is?"
"I dunno..last time I saw him is this morning when we train..I left first so...oh no"
"What's with this.. oh no?" I ask
Anna can only sigh, it seems that dear Anna also knows what happening "well.. you see Cassandra, sometimes he overwork himself and tends to oversleep..he already got in trouble in our class with that behavior of his"
Hearing that..I put my hand over my face.. he is a strong brilliant swordman..but sometimes he can be like this, though.. it reminds me so much of how much he works hard..no wonder he's very skillful
"I'll take a look at him and bring him here..you guys stay here alright?" Thomas said before running towards Desmond's dorm..then I suddenly remember something that I have to do
"Oh, Anna... Sorry if I have to leave you right now Anna..I forgot that I have to meet with my classmates..I'll catch you with you later"
"Oh, it's fine Cassandra, I'm sure the other two will be back soon"
This girl..back then she's shy and lacks confidence, she still is sometimes, but she improves a lot .. though I don't want to leave my friend behind alone..I also have a role that I need to play..the role of the princess...
____________
I open my eyes and... Crap... I overslept again, I look at the time and it seems that I have time to take a bath..I can't just go there..I stink
After that I quickly put my suit on and fix my hair and run towards the venue..that's when I saw Thomas running towards me
"There you are! Come on! The ball is about to start man!"
"I'm sorry! I overslept"
"We know! Hurry!"

Once we get in the venua there was a crowd .. a huge one at that
Thomas and I catches her breath
"I..I need more breather" he said
I got curious..what is this crowd for? Isn't this only the start of the ball? What gives?
That's when.... A girl wearing a red dress, the favorite color of the man she loves runs away into the exit..passing me and Thomas
"Cassandra?" I followed her..she was a fast runner..it doesn't help that I'm tired from running..finally I caught up to her on the school ground's largest fountain just beside the two big flower gardens..
"Hey! Why are you-" when I hold her arms and try to look at her..she was crying..
Don't tell me... I didn't the story of this world i'm in..but.. did the prince? Did the prince already did it? When did it happen??? I'm confused
"D-desmond...I... I..I don't know what to do...the prince... Robert is... "
I don't know what to do..the strong woman that is the villainess is crying right in front of me as if she's a normal girl..
I put my hand over her shoulder "sit down" I ask her to sit down on the edge of the fountain "and tell me what happen..."
