"Yes, I know a bit..." Owen said to Adeline, a bit concerned. "Well, so do I. Holly, my caretaker, showed me." Adeline said proudly. "Shall we... You know?" she asked Owen. "You are the princess, I am the servant. I will do it." Owen obeyed.
As they began to duel, one thing shot through Owen's mind—they forgot to put on their gear. "Adeline, please! Listen—we forgot to put on our gear!" Owen alleged. "No we didn't! I just didn't feel like it!" Adeline said, her voice dry. "But we're supposed to! It's required! We could get seriously hurt!" Owen cried. After a long time of fencing, something horrible happened… Owen's sword ripped through Adeline's skin, as she cried in pain. Blood dripped down her face. Holly rushed into the room. "What have you done!? Look at her!" Holly screamed at the servant. The other maids rushed into the scene of the crime. Rosaline grabbed a white piece of cloth and pressed it against Adeline's face, turning it from white to crimson. Not knowing if he should comfort Adeline or run away in guilt, Owen began to cry. Holly gave Owen a violent strike to the head. "WHAT ARE YOU CRYING FOR!? ADELINE'S THE ONE WHO IS HURT!" she screamed at the boy, causing him to cry even more. "I'm sorry! Im so, so sorry, Adeline! Please forgive me! PLEASE!" Owen begged. Adeline hugged him. Holly glared at the others. "What are you looking at!?" she yelled to the other maids. They all looked away.
Soon, Adeline stopped bleeding. Rosaline applied bandages to her face. Owen hugged Adeline. She wrapped her arms around Owen. "It's ok, Owen. Don't be sorry." Adeline whispered into Owen's ear. Owen wanted to kiss her, but he knew he shouldn't. Not around Holly.
Kyle soon returned to the palace. "Great! The new servant is here." Kyle welcomed the servant. Kyle looked at Adeline, his mouth dropped open. "Adeline, what happened?" Kyle questioned the girl. Adeline explained to Kyle what had happened. "Well, if it was an accident, then I should blame the boy." Kyle said. "At least you aren't riliane! She would have beheaded Owen! Right, Kyle?" Adeline asked the blue-haired king. Kyle looked down. His eyes watered up. "Adeline, we must talk."
