The Red

CHAPTER-6

Stella's p.o.v.

"Aye, Sire!"

A coherent sound roamed through the air and echoed in my ears, grabbing all of my attention. The sound though small, was enough to make me curious.

Where's the sound coming from?

Walking through the hallway,I tried to figure out the direction.
I had decided to follow the faint sound. I advanced through the castle's east wing while my chamber was in north.

Moving alarmly on the shiny icy floor, i checked out all the direction so that i wouldn't caught attention of any mighty high ranked personality. Then frantically grabbing my long dress up, i moved my feet rapidly until i reached the traning ground.

Woah!

My eyes opened wide when i saw half-naked soldiers training like the maniacs.

At a corner, numerous soldiers were training swordmanship. Next to them, were the soldiers honing their skills on archery. There were also few soldiers practising martial arts like kicking and punching.

Jesus!

I thought and ran my eyes on the middle empty section. Then i jerked my head toward the other corner of the ground, moving my feet at the same time.

Numerous of soldiers were holding their hand flat and some white snow like stuff were oozing on their hands. Next to them, wad a bunch of group who were aiming a spot with the same white form.

Many were upto something, my mind couldn't fathom.

There were more than hundreds of them and at a glance, they looked like small ants.

Gosh! My eyes were wide open and i couldn't help to admire them. Even a desire rooted in my heart to bare my teeth and rush out to the training field. But, sad thing was that no single woman were in my sight.

With my sad eyes, i turned my head. Only to collide with the pillar like person. I rubbed my nose as i held my chin up and glance at the handsome features of the second prince.

Once again, he had dressed like a warrior, just like the day when i arrived at the Ice palace. A half black hard coat was wrapped around his well built-frame perfectly. Half of his shoulder length hair were tied where as half of them were flowing in his bare strong arms and shoulders. With his sharp blue eyes, he had wore a expressionless face.

He had a long heavy spearwith a flat sharp blade (glaive). His glaive had completed his look perfectly and he looked like a typical chief commander.

Removing my sight from his weapon, i glanced once again at the prince's face. It had been a long time since i last saw his face on the feast. Maybe, a week ago.

I looked at the same facial features and shifted my eyes on his deep blue eyes until he winked. His wink made me flinch and twist my head around.

"Want to do same practice?" He stole the words that were engraved in my heart. I nodded with an excitement and extented my hands to touch his heavy looking glaive.

"Be careful. A person can lose his life with a single blow of it." He smirked and let go of the weapon.

I tried to hold the glaive but it was way to heavy for me to held it, lifting it up was out of the question. Still, i did my best to lift it up with all my chakra. But, i ended up panting and nothing else.

He snickered as he pulled the weapon away from me and turned toward the ground. His face changed the expression from smiling eyes to serious skin piercing glance, real quick.
