Pure (ON HOLD)

The Evaluation

The teacher arrived and was told about the situation. He was sworn to secrecy to not utter a word about it. In a matter of few days, he had come up with a way for a proper evaluation, which was overlooked by the royals and approved.

Robert Wilson was an amazing teacher and everyone respected him. However, he always had an eye for excellence, and making the next great king/queen was one of his goals. In other words, his star pupils have always been Niklaus and Hayley. 

The duo also thought of him as a second father. Thus, the next day they were thrilled to see him. "Hello, sir I did not know you were coming to the banquet", Hayley said. "Well I was called to determine whether you all are ready for the responsibility" Robert replied. "It's our pleasure to have you here sir", Niklaus said. 

"It's nice to see you both. I was quite surprised to see you conversing, you're generally challenging each other or arguing. Having civilized talks was always rather rare between the two of you. Any new developments?", the teachers asked them curiously. 

Both were taken aback by their teacher's question. "We have just matured over the years," Niklaus said. He always had a way with his word and Hayley nodded knowing it was the best answer. She has always been pretty blunt in such situations but Niklaus would always charm his way through. The teacher bid them goodbye since he had some work.

"These are the very few times when I am glad that you are such a charmer," Hayley said. Nik was shocked at her statement and then seized opportunity to tease her. " I know that most people think I am quite the charmer but I never knew you were one of them. Andrea Labonair do you think I am charming?"

"What no of course not" she said a bit flustered. "Oh come on love do not lie to me now" "Ok fine you do have charm but it has never worked on me" she smiled triumphantly, happy with her reply. He looked into those emerald green eyes and said "Maybe I have never used it one you" "Maybe because I am immune to it and I have met way more charming men than you" he shuddered after hearing that. "Now please do not compare me to that useless lad Jake"

Jake one of the guys from Hayley's past. Only some have got her to say yes. However, they had a falling out since they wanted different thing. She found him nice but he was not really the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. He was quite a charming man but way to sophisticated and serious for her. 

"Yes I was thinking about him and gentleman is one charming guy. Many girls swooned over him." Klaus just looked at her disgusted and said "You are not making a correct comparison considering the amount of girls checking me out and if you had looked closely you would see one right now" pointing toward a blond woman in the back. 

Hayley looked at her and said " Yes I saw a while ago but the type of girls that react to your charm are all bad. Taken this one for example, Caroline Forbes nice woman but very selfish and self centered. I suppose your charm can never attract the good kind." Niklaus looked at her angrily and asked "So everyone that I have ever dated was bad??"

"Not everyone, Camille was nice". He just looked back at her with bored eyes and said "That is because she was your friend you kind of set it up" "Yes I was so shocked when she told that she liked you of all people" Hayley said with disappointment. Klaus eyed her for a while and said "Basically proving that all types of girl swoon on me, the right and bad kind" he finished of with a smirk. 

"I suppose you are not to bad but I one thing for sure that your charm is never going to work on me" Klaus took in her word and an idea came into his mind. "Sure we shall see" "What does that mean ?" "You will know soon". He walked off after that leaving her puzzled.

The next day the evaluation began. Starting with weapons. Everyone had to show their skills in their desired weapon in a duel. This eliminated, with five princes and princesses each left. Rest of the day was free but all the kings and queens had some work to do.
