Chapter 5

High Roller pov.
I was sitting on my throne when the Zebra brothers rolled in, hopefully, to give me news on Cat castle. "Master High Roller, we have news on cat castle.", Sparky Black said. "And?", I asked impatiently. "The cat king is trying to find a suitable human to marry the cat princess.", Sparky White said. "So?", I asked, wanting them to get to the point. "It means if you marry the cat princess.", Sparky Black started. "Then you would be in control of the cats!", Sparky White finished. "You're right! Quickly, to cat castle!", I say as I start pedaling towards cat castle as Sparky Black and Sparky White begin to follow.

Lin Chung pov.
Soon we landed at cat castle and walked inside to see the cat king sitting on his throne. "Apetrully, I assume that you found an eligible human male for our princess?", The cat king asked when he saw us. "Why yes, I hope you remember Lin Chung from First Squad?", Apetrully asked as he motioned to me. "It is an honor to be in your presence, cat king.", I said as I kneeled down. "Very well, now if there are no other suitors-", Cat king was saying when the doors opened as the zebra brothers rolled in. "Now introducing, the one-", Sparky Black started. "The only-", Sparky White continued. "Master High Roller!", They said as High Roller rolled in on his thrown before getting up and walking over to where I was standing. "Greetings, Cat King.", High Roller said. "Ah, High Roller, I suppose you are here for the princess as well?", Cat king asked him. "Why yes, I am here for the princess's hand in marriage.", High Roller said with a bow. "Very well then, bring out the princess.", Cat king commands as two of his servants ran upstairs. Moments later, they came back downstairs with something or someone behind them. "Now introducing the beautiful and graceful cat princess.", Cat king says as the servants moved to reveal a... human girl? The girl had long black hair and familiar green eyes, wearing a purple kimono and a flower headpiece. The girl looked like an average human, but she also had black cat ears and a tail. "Hello, you must be the suitors. It is very nice to meet you both.", the princess said with a bow.

Princess pov.
It was him; I didn't know he was going to be here. I have to make sure he doesn't know who I really am, or else there will be a problem.

High Roller pov.
I was secretly surprised when I saw the cat princess, she was a human that was part cat?! I motion for the zebra brothers to come over to me. "Why didn't you idiots tell me about this?!", I whisper yelled to the zebra brothers so that the cat king and princess didn't hear me. "Well, how were we supposed to know what she looked like?", Sparky White asked. "Yeah, the cat King never lets her leave her room.", Sparky Black said. "What?", I whisper yell in surprise.

Lin Chung pov.
I was listening in on High Roller's conversation, surprised at what I just heard. I understand if it was outside of the castle because of her safety, but not even outside her room? She must be driven crazy from a lack of scenery. We both straightened up when we saw the cat king stand up from his throne and has the princess sit in his place. "Now then, since there are two of you, we shall hold a competition to see who is most suitable for our princess.", The cat king announced as the princess rolled her eyes, seeming bored as she messed with her flower headpiece, seeming uncomfortable in it. "I accept the competition.", High Roller said. "As will I.", I said. "Wonderful. The first competition will be to give the princess a truly wonderful gift that impresses both her and I.", The cat king announces. High Roller went first as he walked up and kneeled in front of the princess.

"Beautiful cat princess, I bring you these delicious lollipops as a gift.", High Roller said as he pulled out a box of red lollipops and offered them to her. The princess and the cat king both grab one and take a bite. The cat king smirked as the princess gave a small smile but went back to looking bored. "Okay, you may continue to the next round.", the princess said, sounding uninterested. High Roller stands up and walks back over to Sparky Black and Sparky White. "Try and beat that Lin Chung.", High Roller whispered as he passed me. I had to think, what can I give that would be better than candy?

I suddenly got an idea as I pull out my sketchbook and start to draw. "What is taking so long?", The cat king asked, sounding impatient. "Just one moment, your highness.", I said as I soon finish my drawing before carefully ripping it out of the sketchbook. I walk up and kneel in front of the princess. "Cat princess, I have brought you a gift that I hope will be more valuable to you.", I said as I held out the drawing to her. I see the cat princess look interested as she stood up and walk over to me before taking the drawing and looking at it. "Oh my...", I hear the cat princess say.

Princess pov.
"Oh my...", I said as I looked at the drawing. It was a beautiful drawing of me, but without my headpiece. No one had ever made me such a beautiful drawing before. I look over and see my father talking to Lin Chung. "What have you given her? I have never seen her act like this, you-", The cat king was about to say when I interrupted. "Have given me one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received. You shall move on to the next round.", I say to him with a smile as I admire the drawing.

Lin Chung pov.
I look up at the cat princess and see the smile on her face, knowing that she was genuinely impressed with my drawing. "Thank you, princess.", I say as I walk back over to ApeTrully. I look over and see High Roller looking irritated. "Now, on to the next round.", The cat king announced. I wonder what will happen for the next round.
