When I was at the door, I saw Prince Ahren heading towards me and he said,

"Hi Alyssa. How was training? Oh and by the way, I'm going to be the instructor for them. And you're going to help me okay?And how hard did he push you? Officer Leger can be very easy going And hard at the same time."

"Thank you, your majesty. I was really starting to doubt your words since Officer Leger just made my legs feel like jell-O, but I really enjoyed the bow and arrow. They are just spectacular!" I said

"Please, just call me Ahren. I won't be royalty once somebody takes the throne."

I was about to reply, but suddenly the doors flew open and twelve suitors came chattering in. I noticed that there was a theme. All the men had either a perfect tan, or pale white skin. All of them had the same intense gaze that I had noticed on the guards.

"Ahem! I am sure all of you know who I am so I will be introducing this lady here. She is Alyssa and she will be my assistant in teaching all of you proper etiquette, rules of the palace, jobs of the king, and if anybody would like to get beaten up by a woman, I'm sure Alyssa here would more than gratefully take that spot."

I smiled a little at that thought when a guard came barging in. He told Ahren some things, and then Ahren asked me to bring the men to the training room.

"Please follow me everybody!"I said to the crowd as nicely as I could.

When Ahren was gone, somebody who was built a lot like a bully came up and asked me,

"So, are you really able to beat us up, or are you going to charm us into admitting the we lost?"

I figured I wouldn't ask him until I knew his name and thankfully when I was at the outside of the training room, Officer Leger was there. A maid then handed me a tray filled with silver name tags to put on their clothing.

"When I call your name, please come up to get your tag and then get in line to the order of the names.

Andrew Porter

Anthony Mill

James Bone

Robin Prudence

Martin Hiroto

Brian Ambers

Matt Herold

Lorn Pierce

Eric Lee

Larry Dominic

Samuel Vincent

Charles Whisks..."

When I was done reading all 12 names, Officer Leger helped me sort them into three groups. One group would go into the training room while the other two would have a tour of the palace, and then we switch. I would be in the group of the training room while Officer Leger and Ahren would give the tours. I had Charles Whisks, Eric Lee, Brian Ambers, and Andrew Porter.
