Princess's avatar: it's all my fault

Chapter 11: ~(A) means Asher~

The young boy in one side, Princess in the other. Her exhaustion is badly exposed, she holds a disadvantage. Princess asked:

_ "who are you?"

_ "Someone" he replied while the darkness covering his appearance.

"Nice attack! You clearly cached me out guard."

"But a little girl like you shouldn't be outside at this time"

_ "Who are you calling a little girl!" Princess said with anger then presumed.

"Where's my master and what are you doing here?!"

_ "I'm just a passing by stranger, and I don't know anything about your master."

_ "Lies!"

_ "Oh, look what's hanging from the tree behind you?"

_ "Nice try. I'm not that stupid!"

The boy didn't mind her and said:

_ "Strange it looks like a big dark silhouette."

Princess looked toward the tree, and saw nothing. When she relooked at the boy he had already escaped.

"I SWEAR I'LL FIND U ONE DAY, AND WHEN I DO, I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!"  Princess shouted while suddenly regaining her energy, most likely the effect of sudden anger.

She calmed down and organized her inventory then went home. Next day, Princess received an urgent message from Reiner asking her to meet him the afternoon in an empty spot in the forest where they trained on combat skills. That afternoon she went there, as always, he's late. After a few minutes later, he finally decided to show up, Princess pouted at his sight. Although she was mad because of his late arrival she was happy to train sooner than anticipated.

_ "So, what's today's training?" asked Princess.

_ "well, if we include yesterday's training, your finally ready to wield a sword."

_ "yay, but why the rush though?"

_ "well, you see. In sword training battles it's better to have an opponent from the same height as yours"

_ "I'll finally fight someone else?! yay" shouted princess happily.

Then, a familiar voice pierced threw: "Master, why do I have to fight this small girl? She's no match for me!" Princess was filled with excitement, not only she'll fight someone other than Reiner, nor because she was underestimated, it's because she recognized that voice. A voice she wanted so badly to hear again.

_ "Oh, you're him. Glad you decided to show up on your own!" replied Princess filled with anger.

Reiner was confused. The boy didn't reach the town till yesterday's night. Yet it's looks like they already met others.

_ "Princess, I called you today to meet your new companion in your next trainings. He's a young man sharing your age, known for being skilled at his young age."

"Princess meet Asher and Asher meet Princess!"

Asher is a boy with the same age as Princess, despite having a liking for teasing some people, he's nice hearted with a smile almost always shown on his face. Asher have aqua blue eyes filled with hope; dark blue hair usually confused with black. Having passed through hard days, he's known for his skills in tactics and plan making.

Princess and Asher explained to Reiner about they're accident meeting last day's night while arguing each other, making him more confused and leaving the issue solving to them.

_ "let's settle it the way we started it. With a fight!" said Princess with excitement sparkling from her eyes.

_ "Fine, but don't cry if I end up going hard on you. It'll be a shame making such a beauty cry!"

After asking their master, he agreed on a fight bare handed, having the right to end the match when he sees it necessary. Unlike the last time Princess and Asher are ready for a battle.

Both sides got into place. With the end of the countdown, Princess with the first move. They both fought till with all they're might. 15 minutes later, they're standing in front of each other, Both barely standing. Both are greatly exhausted. Reiner ended the fight, announcing a draw after noticing both sides inability to continue. As the result was announced, they both fell to the ground, faces toward each other.

_ "you might be a small girl, but seriously your as strong as I am!"

_ "well, the truth is I thought another showoff, but turns out you aren't."

Both talking while panting, they looked at each other and cracked a laugh like they never ever did. After calming down a bit they continued after standing:

"Nice to meet you, I'm Asher."

"Nice to meet you too, I'm princess."

The meeting we're all waiting for...
