Third Person's P.O.V.

    Secret was about to stand up from the bleachers when the opponent of Jeremy slapped him hard. "How dare you say that to me you lowly prince!" Raske shouted.

"Start!"

  Raske moved away from Jeremy and then kneeled on her right knee and held the floor with her right hand. Then a shadow of a man appeared behind Jeremy and started strangling him.

"Eh?! She didn't even chant!" Secret exclaimed. "Quiet down. Your getting attention." Someone beside her said making her look at the direction and was surprised to see King beside her. "What are-" King covered her mouth. "Would you just keep quiet?!? Your attracting attention already with your clothes you know!" King whispered harshly. Secret looked around as King released his hand from her mouth.

"Is that the princess?"

"Who is that beside her?"

"Why is she putting a hood over her head?"

"Probably she's ugly."

  Secret then lowered down her head and put her hood more down wherein you cannot see half of her face. "So what is she?" Secret whispered while not looking at the direction of King but at the arena where Jeremy has gotten free of the shadow and aimed fireballs at Raske. "A shadow user-" Raske dodged all the fireballs and muttered something and then half of her face was implemented with a black tattoo like Secret before. A big shadow was formed in front of Jeremy and looked like a big shadow of a dragons. "-and a dark magic user from Star Academy." King continued then watched Jeremy as he fought the shadow dragon while Raske was just sitting on the floor mockingly at Jeremy.

  The shadow dragom flew above his head and was flying towards him. While at that, Jeremy summoned his twin flame sword. "I call to the heat coming from the sun's core..... Twin Flame!" He said and the twin flame swords appeared on his hand and then jumped towards the dragon surprisingly, that even the dragon wasn't able to react fast.

  Blood of Raske splattered on the floor as the shadow dragon fell. The head of the shadow dragon rolled down the floor and slowly it disappeared like Raske.

Secret's eyes widened. "So the weapon that has formed a contract with the monster will disappear once it dead and would also have an effect on the monster." Secret whispered. "Yeah. Didn't you know that? " King asked.

 
"Winner is Prince Jeremy of Sun Academy!" The announcer said. "No, I haven't form a contract yet." Secret said and then stood up and left King. Someone with black cloak followed Secret.










   The day passed and the four prince has won without even giving a chance for Secret to fight. They have reached the final level with flying colors and now that it is night time they are celebrating.



   "We have reached the final round!!!" Jesse shouted and raised the wine in his hands and swayed a bit like a drunk man. There were guards at each pillar of the room, guarding the royalties. The two opposing teams except Secret cheered on. They were having a feast were in everyone was happy and telling stories, that was except for Secret again. She wasn't happy at all. Jesse walked to her slowly with drunk word written on his whole body, in figure of speech.

     "Would you like to have a drink my lady?" He asked with a drunk man's voice. "No thank you." Secret simply replied and stood up and was about to walk away when Jesse slowly was closing his eyes

K A G B O O S H!

  Everyone, including the soldiers guarding was surprised.

   The unconscious Jesse fell on Secret and the glass broke beside Secret's face.

   The soldiers quickly acted and helped Jesse get up from Secret. The soldier gave a hand to Secret and she gladly accepted it. There was a wound on her cheek where there was a glass shard stuck to it. "Kuso. Its painful." Secret mumbled where in no one heard and then everyone watched her slowly take off the glass shard and the blood coming out from it and then dropped the glass shard on the ground.

  "Princess!" Zero shouted and then ran to Secret and started healing her with his charm. While the rest of the soldiers was carrying Jesse back to his room but Jeremy stopped them. "He must be punished!" He exclaimed and was about to attack the unconscious Jesse when Ice and Ren held his arms on both sides. "No. Its okay." Secret said and then looked at Zero giving him a sign that he doesn't need to continue to heal her and Zero obeyed. "Chloe, I would like you to bring your brother to the room. " Secret ordered and Chloe nodded and the guards came with Chloe and the unconscious Jesse.

  "Eto... Are you alright, hime?" Akira asked while taking few steps towards her but Secret didn't respond making her stop in her tracks. "Why are you in such a bad mood? Is it because of Jesse? I'll sco-" Jeremy was cutted off by Secret. "Its nothing." And with that, she left the room then walked around the garden.

  "I can't understand her." Jun said while messing his hair a bit. "She wanted to fight." Ice inserted and then snapped his fingers and all the glass shards disappeared. "But it was for her own safety!" Jeremy exclaimed and then Ice just gave him a shrug in return.



Last day of tournament ~~

  "Where's Jesse?!" Jeremy shouted. "Calm down. Shouting won't solve anything." Ren said while waving his hand downwards showing Jeremytoo put down the hear that was nearly surrounding the whole room. The guards were even panicking. The royal herbalist came in and the fire calmed down. "There's been a poisoning." The old woman said while giving a scroll to Jeremy and he read it aloud.

 

  "Food poisoning. Healing will take 2-3 days. Herbals required: blah blah blah" Jeremy said and then put the scroll on the desk beside him. The royal herbalist bowed then left the room.  "I guess we have no choice." Jeremy said and then looked at Secret and Secret received the message then nodded.

"Going to the finals are Royalties, Dark Star, Light Shadow and Star Struck! There will be two arenas. The battle held here is Royalties versus Light Shadow and the other two will fight at the arena 19 miles from here. Please choose your destination quickly because we will start in 10 minutes!" The announcer said and the crowd scattered in different directions.
