"Mmm, the food was good!" Leo says happily before standing up to strech.
"Good! I'm gonna go up stairs and read for a bit." Lia says and makes her way upstairs.
Layla goes outside to practice sword fighting, while Leo just chills in his room.
"Hey, Lieutenant want to spar?" Layla asks, reaching for the hilt of her sword.
"Sure, let's do it!" Crystal the Lieutenant replies enthusiastically, as they head over to the sparing grounds.
LATER THAT EVENING IN LIA'S ROOM...
Lia walks over to her bed, sits down she grabs her book and puts it down on her lap before paging around until she reaches her page. She then leans down towards the book, so she can clearly read the words, before starting to read. She becomes fully ingrossed in the book, not even looking up when her neck starts to cramp. She places her hand on her neck and slowly rubs the back of her neck, but does nothing else to ease this pain. It's very obvious that Lia has totally forgeting about the outside world and is inveloped by her world of fantacy.
Creak... Creak. A noise is heard as the door swings open. The movement of the animal who caused this sound is very swift. The person was just in teh doorway and is now standing right in front of Lia! A hand lifts up Lia's head and pulls her out of her book.
"Hhm..." The person mumbles. It seems that Lia is sill proccessing the situation, it's almost as if she's in shock. "She looks like the correct specim."
"What?!" Lia cries, becoming fully aware of her suroundings. She sees the dagger in the person's right hand. She instantly grabs the dusty sword laying on her desk. Lia whips around in order to grab it and then unsheathes the sword. She turns around as the assassin throws the first strike, their dagger slices through the air towards the princess's throat.
It's 16 year old, Lia's rotation to pick berries and honey in the forest. When she saw an unknown young man laying in a meadow. He looked famished and had an injured leg, she brought him to the village. This was not a recommended action, but she is the princess of the Tree village. Read to find out what happens with the young man...
