Zari couldn't help but smile when he turned his bow upside down. She had locked herself in the room and kept practicing hour after hour and day after day not wanting to see anyone. But now his company was making her more relaxed. Or maybe it were just his silly attempts to try and cheer her up. Well at least it was working.
Zari walked to the table at the side of the room and grabbed an apple biting in it. "No, I'm not afraid of the fight itself. I'm afraid I lose to Griffen." She said. "Everyone expects him to be the next leader since he's the son of Prince. Even if I'm older of two of us." She sound bitter which was true. She felt everyone were completely ignoring her.
"Tell me Zari, how strong is your will to rule?" he asked and Zari looked at the King. How strong it was? She had been working her ass of to train more and more sleeping only the bare minimum. But it was more to beat her brother instead of to become a ruler. However she was determined enough to win a battle that would make her a ruler. Zari took another bite from the apple thinking about it. Finally she looked at him straight in the eyes.
"Even my father couldn't stop me now."
