Alexis leaned back in her chair, examining him. ““You know, there isn’t something wrong with your story. It’s just not mine.” She gave a small smile, as if there was something she wanted to add but was reluctant to do so. Her arms stretched outward, letting out a satisfied sigh. “Ok… Where to begin, where to begin… Ah yes. Jaun’s trial.” She grinned. “During that time, I was stationed in Zenith, our military city. I had just heard Jaun, my older brother, had been found as a challenger for the Prince at that time. He had passed the first two trials easily, like it was nothing difficult. I always fought with him over everything. Attention, prowess, approval. I always wanted to prove I was better for some reason… Most likely he did it to make me a better person. Maybe to prove he was a better person. I never had the chance to ask him.”
Her hands rest in her lap as her eyes stared up at the ceiling, almost bored. “So the first two tests? They were nothing for him. Passed them easily, though I can’t tell you what actually happens in them. Then came the hand to hand combat.” Here, Alexis paused before letting out a puff of air that ended in a sigh-laugh. “I got leave to watch him and what do I see? Basically, the Prince kicked his ass. I had to step in because Jaun was getting embarrassed.” Her hand reached up and tapped her upper back, between the shoulder blades. “A scar here is a result of my foolishness. Should have let that guy fight his own battles.”
Her hand left and she rolled her shoulder. “So I was punished but the Prince saw potential in me. Told me to come back in 3 years time and fight him properly. I got as much as the Aries resources as I needed but still wasn’t enough to train me. So I studied abroad. Sapal was first, went to Crocodelle next… Met Princess Leo when I visited her kingdom… I went around all kingdoms, briefly or not so much. I learned, I grew. I came back to Mars. I kicked the Prince’s ass. Passed the next two tests. Yay. I’m Princess.” Alexis looked over at him. “Any questions or is my mediocre storytelling enough?"
