chapter 2
Lion-o went out to meet Liosia. He went up to talk her. "Hey Liosia," Lion-o said.
"Oh hello Lion-o," Liosia said. "It's been a while since I talked to you," she said.
"Yes it has been a long time," Lion-o said.
"So how have you been?" Liosia asked.
"Fine just fine," Lion-o said. "So Liosia would you like to go for a walk with me?" he asked.
"I would love too," Liosia said.
"Great let's go," Lion-o said and lead her out of the garden.
They saw many things in Thundera's square. "Hello Prince Lion-o who is this?' a shop manager asked.
"This is Liosia," Lion-o said.
"She's very lovely would you like to get her a lovely necklace?' he asked Lion-o.
"Not now, we just decided to go for a walk," Lion-o said.
Lion-o and Liosia had enjoyed their walk. "I had a wonderful time Lion-o," Liosia said.
"I'm glad would you like to go mount riding with me sometime?" Lion-o asked.
"Sounds great, how about day after tomorrow?" Liosia asked.
"Sounds good to me," Lion-o said.
"Sounds good to me too," Liosia said.
Later that night Lion-o left flowers at Liosia's window with a note. Liosia saw the flowers and they were beautiful and saw the note. "I really like you, and I hope you like me, I can't wait to see you again, love Lion-o." Liosia said. "Oh Lion-o is sweet!" she said.
A couple of days later Lion-o and Liosia were getting ready to go mount riding. "I got your flowers and note Lion-o, they were very lovely," Liosia said.
"You really like them?' Lion-o asked.
"I sure do," Liosia said. "If I didn't know any better I say you were starting court me," she said.
"Well I am trying," Lion-o said nervously.
"Well I like it, and I like you, and I hope the courting continues and I hope you are prepared for the courting the comes from me as well," Liosia said.
"I thought you didn't like me much," Lion-o said.
"I do like you a lot Lion-o," Liosia said as she was about climb up on the mount. "I remember when we first met you gave me a lucky charm and I kept it ever since," she said. "I saw you leave on occasion and see you go to town. I keep thinking I should join you, but I was too shy," she said.
"Well then let's allow the courting to continue." Lion-o said.
"Yes my dear let's allow it to continue," Liosia said.
On regular basis Lion-o and Liosia would spend time together. Lion-o would leave flowers, notes and pictures.
Liosia would leave pictures for Lion-o and she would write notes back too.
Things seemed to be going well for Lion-o.
Soon other Lion noble ladies Lion-o's age noticed and saw that Lion-o was courting Liosia and wanted to be the one to be courted by him. So they decided to get up close and push Liosia out of the picture.
"Hello Lion-o," one of them said. "I am Valtina," she said.
"Oh hi," Lion-o said.
"Would you like to go for a walk with me?" she asked.
"No thanks I am suppose to meet Liosia in the market today," Lion-o said.
"Why be with her when you can be with me, the wonderful heiress to the blonde mane family," Valtina said.
"No thanks I rather be with Liosia right now I promised," Lion-o said and left.
Valtina growled and followed and saw Lion-o holding hands with Valtina. Then when Lion-o was looking at something Valtina decided to tell Liosia off. "Listen Liosia I am much better for Lion-o then you so back off, I have the right to be Thundera's new queen," Valtina said.
"Look Valtina I have the same right as you, and Lion-o has decided to court me now leave," Liosia said.
"Everything alright over here Liosia?" Lion-o asked coming over.
"Yes Lion-o," Liosia said.
"Lion-o how about you spend some time with real lioness sometime and leave her behind," Valtina said.
"No thanks Valtina I am not interested." Lion-o said. Then he left with Liosia.
He decided to talk to his parents about. "Suddenly other Lion noble ladies are coming out and flirting with me and criticizing Liosia," Lion-o said.
"Well they are noticing you are courting her and might make her your wife, and they just like most ladies when they see an attractive prince they see a chance to be seen and chance to get everything they want in life if they marry him, so they want to make you love them and not Liosia," Claudius said.
"Your father is right so let your heart lead you to the right choice," Leona said.
"I will," Lion-o said.
