His Other Woman

Chapter 7: Noah Hardwin

After winning my first game I was now one step closer to getting through the screening session. I was in a good spirits and had high hopes. I had been able to beat some much physically stronger than me. If I continued to use what Grandpa Jo had taught me I really had a good chance of making it. Just had to win two more battles and I would be safe. Then I could keep on eating hot cooked meals and have bed to sleep on.

It was at the end of the forth round of matches that a special visitor arrived at the knights military base. It was around evening as all candidates were in their assigned tents waiting as they took turns to having a bath before we could eat dinner, when multiple carriages could be heard entering the entrance. Many candidates including myself went to peek from outside the tents to see what all the commotion was all about. Multiple official imperial knights had gone to receive the visitor. The carriages that arrived all had the royal insignia on them. It was now clear that the visitor could only be the crown prince. It was said that the crown perince would come later during the trials but an exact time wasn't given. I guess that time was now. All the candidates that had stopped to watch all stared in awe at the arrival of the crown prince.

Crown Prince Erwin, he stepped out of the carriage dressed in royal attire. The commander who had given the introductory speech on the first day had another announcement for us. As the first screening is about to come to an with the final rounds beginning tommorow the Crown Prince has now arrived. After the final rounds he will begin inspecting and observing you all as you train looking out for candidate sthat stand out. Now remember having a low ranking will certainly help you in being chosen by a prince but thats not only the only factor he will take into consideration. So make sure you do your best as you train. There might be something else you do that sparks his interest." The commander told us.

Personally I didn't care for being chosen I had fairly simple goals in mind. I would just focus on doing my to stay in the trials for as long as possible.

As a result of me not wanting to get too close to people and they would become interested in me which could possibly lead to them finding out my secret. The only person I knew was Micheal and thats only because he actively sort me out so he could pick on me. As a result I never really took interest in finding out about anyone else
