When He Met Him

Chapter Two

Princess Emlyn POV:

Great! I shall put today's date on my diary. Today one of my dreams will come true. I'll finally learn Archery. I hope our scheme would last longer, this can't just end.

I wonder what's up with Harv after we separated ways. I hope our Nan Nina won't see him because she will definitely see the difference.

Nan Nina is an old lady. She has served and took care of Father since he was young and now she is the one who takes care of us. I don't know how but she knows who is who when one of us plays the other. In fact, she recognizes us faster than Mother does. Well, mother is always busy that's why.

I keep my tracks behind Mr. Boldwise as he lead us to the shooting area. I can feel my adrenaline rush as we near the grounds.

"Here we are, your highness." He looks around as he says so. Three apples are set above a furniture with different distances.

"You have to stand here." He waves his hand to a spot in front of the first apple. "Your highness, I have taught you how to hold and shoot the bow and arrow, right. Now all you have to do is aim for the apple and shoot it." No, I have zero knowledge about this. I look at him , unsure of what to do.

"Oh, your highness, that was so fast!" The elf servant says. He looks at me from head to toe smiling at me impressed. I don't know what he is talking about but I smile at him anyway. "I have to go now, I gotta check the schedules." He bows then leaves.

"Alright well go ahead, Prince Harvey, put your arms shoulder level then shoot." He says. I close my eyes before positioning my arms. I put the arrow on the bow and close my left eye.

"Come on, this better be good." I whisper to myself. I have no idea how good my brother is in Archery and I am not sure if Mr. Boldwise will notice.

I pull the arrow and keep my left hand steady to the bow. I sigh before releasing the arrow. I close my eyes.

"Your highness!" Mr. Boldwise exclaims. I peak through my right eye to look at the apple. The apple is still fine, there is no arrow pierced through it. "I thought you'll hit the apple, it was so close!" He claps his hand. I widen my eyes and squeak. I immediately cover my mouth. I look at Mr. Boldwise who is still looking at the apple smiling.

"Not bad for a first time." He says. Yeah, not a bad shot for a first time holder of a bow and arrow, my subconscious adds.

"Now lets try it one more time." He pats my shoulder. I do it one more time but this time I finally hit the apple. Its not exact on the middle but I hit it!

"Wow, that's a great shot,  Prince Harvey!" Mr. Boldwise rejoices, he claps his hands louder this time. I can't keep my smile from forming on my face. I feel like my face would crack any minute now.

"Now, lets try the second apple. This time this is farther than the other." He moves away from me giving me space. I sigh, close my eyes and shoot. I missed it.

"It's alright, your highness. Your shot was further left, try moving your arms to the right." He smiles at me. He is not as worse as how Harv describe him. That crampy noodle, he probably just hates Archery.

I squint my eyes and shoot at the apple but someone, dressed as one of our servants pass right the back of our shooting area.

"Sir! Look out!" Mr. Boldwise shouts. The servant looks at him then he suddenly realize that we're on a training. He panics.

"Oh, no!" I shout covering my face with my palms. I keep a small space between my finger to look through. The arrow landed in front of the servant's foot. Mr. Boldwise and I but sigh happily; but that changes quickly when the servants faints.
