Chapter 02- Introduction (2)

Last time......
"I won't let you kill the Prince!" And all he saw at that moment was a flash of scarlet.

B

ack to the present.......

"Who are you missy? Wanna get killed alongside him?"says the boss. "That is none of your business you filth!"as she aimed her sword at his chest. "Well..let's see about that" and as he prepares to strike her but she blocked him using her sword within a split second. "Your Highness now!"as she days to the Prince. Jellal having realized the oppurtunity took his sword lying beside a tree and strikes the thief to the ground. "Okay okay........I surrender. Men, swords down now."he says. "But boss....." "Just do as I say!" And with that all the henchmen of the pirates of the black forest dropped their swords and weapons and surrendered.

"Are you okay your highness?"questions Simon. "I am fine and I'm glad to see that you aren't hurt in the slightest."he replied.

"Now....."he says turning to the boss, "I shall ask you this. Return all that you have stolen to their rightful owners and release all those you hold captive and once we return to the palace, I shall find a suitable punishment for you all."says Jellal.

"Now may I ask who you are my rescuer?"he asks turning to the scarlet female who stood behind him, wearing a pheasants clothing of varieties of blue, whose scarlet hair flowed at the breeze, wearing no shoes and wielding a fine elegant sword in her right hand. "Forgive me for for my rudeness..."she says while gesturing a courtesy to the Prince, "....my name is Erza. Erza Scarlet and I dwell in the whereabouts of this forest in which you stand, your highness."she says politely.

"Erza am I correct? Well that is a lovely name."says Jellal causing Erza to blush. "Thank you your highness and may I ask you what you are doing here in this time of the day? It's not safe here."she asks curiously.

"Well I was looking forward to some hunting but it seems it is impossible now."he says eyeing the full moon above them that shone through the night sky and letting out a small chuckle.
"Your highness, I suggest that you come here in the day as the forest is full of animals to hunt."she says.
"Well then I shall take my leave. Simon..."he says,"Yes your highness?" "Escort these men to the palace dungeons and inform the king about this. I shall take rest." "As you wish sire."replies Simon, tyeing the men with a rope. "I hope to see you again Erza."he says to the female I front of him. "As will I your highness and goodnight."she says bidding farewell to the two gentlemen riding off in their horses through the forest.

The next day...........

"You shall be set free however you must serve me as well as the king by becoming soldiers in the royal army."says the Prince to the thieves. "We will honour and serve you Prince Jellal for the rest of our lives."says the newly appointed soldiers kneeling before the Prince.
"Your highness?" "Yes, what is it now Simon?"questions Jellal. "Why did you take pity on the sir?"asks Simon. "Well...they are very capable men with high fighting skills and also it is a waste of life if we had killed them. This felt like the right thing to do."replies Jellal. "I understand you highness...... Your highness, us something the matter?"
"No. It's just that I would like to see that girl again." "Your highness, have you fallen in love?"questions Simon smirking. "What! No. It's just that I......I would like to thank her again for saving my life. Get ready the horses, we are going to the forest again.

And so Jellal and Simon set off for the forest in hopes of finding the scarlet female again. As they venture into an unknown part of the forest, the clashing of blades could be heard from the other side of the bushes.
As they peer through the bushes they see Erza fighting against a metal suit of old armour with her sword while they see another woman with purple natured black hair putting some washed clothes to dry beside a small wooden cabin. And from that cabin another girl with pink hair ran towards Erza.

"Say Erza, why don't you take a water break and relax a bit days the pink haired girl. "Yes I too think that I should relax. Thank you Meredy."says Erza. Then waving to purple haired girl, "Hey Ultear, you should come join us!" "Why indeed that sounds like a nice idea."she says replying to her comrades.
But Jellal as well as Simon lose their balance and fall facing the three girls and revealing their presence.
"Your highness!"says Erza gesturing a courtesy, "What brings you here?"and with that the other two gesture a courtesyas well.
"Well I have come here to thank you for rescuing me yesterday."says Jellal not quite used to the sudden attention. "But the pleasure is all mine your highness."says Erza with a tint of blush on her cheeks but speaking in a steady manner. "Would you like us to offer you a glass of water as you two gentlemen have travelled here out so far."asks Ultear. "No thank you but may I ask you Erza Scarlet." "Yes my Prince."replies Erza. "How would you like to become a knight?"he asks receiving a sudden gasp from his companion. "But sire you know that women aren't eligible for knighthood." "Yes, I am well aware of it but who says that we can't have a first?"he replies playfully. "I- I would be deeply honoured your majesty."says Erza full of happiness as her life long dream was about to come true.
"There will be a tournament next week to decide the next badge of knights who would enter the palace in terms of strength and agility. Are you willing to participate?" "Yes. I would gladly accept it."says Erza facing the Prince. "Well then I expect to see you then and I would be routing for you but it's the king who selects."Jellal days eyeing Erza. "You have my word sire."says Erza and the three women watch the two ride back on their horses towards the palace on the other side of the forest.

Next time on The Prince and the Knight...........
The tournament has begun. Will Erza be able to hold against the many contenders who srand in her way?
