As they was making their way to the Faye village now back on track. Alton was looking out of the window and thinking if the events that had just happened to him. He clenched his teeth once again, Lloyd and Cody both noticing that he was doing that.

"Alton. . . Don't worry we will find out who is responsible for this. ." Lloyd spoke up.

"We're just glad you wasn't hurt in the process!" Cody chimed in.

Alton saying nothing to their words and just looking out the window, the both of them sighed and watched as he was doing that. The carriage stopped and Alton moved his attention towards the driver who was making his way to opening the door.

"My lord, we are here!" He spoke and moved out of the way.

Alton got up and left the carriage as he did he noticed a large wall with huge metal gate doors. Without any hesitation he walked over to them with Lloyd and Cody both following behind him. "Halt!" Spoke two people very loudly.

Alton stopped and looked up, where he saw two guards on the wall looking down at them. "State your name, where your from and why you are here!" One of the guards said.

"My name is Alton Von-Lowther, I am from the North of here, I came because I was requested to attend a dinner with Princess Elexis." Alton answered them.

They looked at eachother and then back at Alton. "Give us one moment please we just want to confirm that with the princess!" The guards shouted down, leaving Alton just nodding his head.

When they left Alton looked around the place, the bad feeling not leaving him but once again he couldn't do anything about it as he didn't know what was going to happen.

The guards came back and opened the gates for them all. Alton walked in and had too checked for any weapons. As none of them was carrying any weapons they was let to go in further. "You much be Lord Alton Von-Lowther! I am Clara!" A girl with pink hair and purle eyes said to him, a huge smile look on her face as she looked at him.

Alton looked at her and nodded his head towards her. "Yes that's right." Alton said back.

Clara gave a bigger smile at Alton and bowed to him. "follow me! The princess is waiting!" She said to him.

Alton raised an eyebrow at her and nodded his head. "uh how old are you?" Alton asked her.

"I'm 10 sir!" She replied with a happy tone.

"How come your the one showing us around? Your only a child." Lloyd said to her.

"I'm not just any child! I'm going to be the strongest knight in the world!" She replied to them.

Alton gave a smile at her and looking at her while they was walking. This little child wants to be a knight?

"If you don't mind me asking Clara why do you want to be a knight?" Lloyd asked her. "your a child. . . You shouldn't be thinking about that stuff right now." He continued.

"Because not too long ago the princess saved my life! Now I want to return the favour and protect her! She's so nice and kind to everyone, we all love her." Clara said.

"If that's what you want to do then go for it. Don't let anyone tell you, you can't do something. Everyone can do anything if they work hard in it." Alton said to her, still having a smile on his face.

Clara looked at him with shock and gave a huge smile on her face as she nodded her head and looked forward. She still continued too walk into the castle past the guards.

The three men following behind her and she made her way to the grand hall, she knocked the door and then walked into the room with the men following after her.

"Princess I brought the gentleman you wanted to escort here!" Clara said with a huge smile.

Elexis looked at her and gave a huge smile, ran over and hugged her tightly. "You did a great job Clara! Now then you been training all day and then done this for me, go have a rest now!" Elexis said to the small child with a huge smile on her face.

Clara saluted and ran off, while Elexis looked at the men her smile quickly faded and a look of horror came on her face as she looked at Alton. Alton looked at her confused as she done this. He tilted her head at her and looked right into her eyes.

"What happened?!" She asked him horrified tone of voice as she did.

Alton looked at her even more confused with what she had said. "You have blood all over you!" She stated once again.

Alton looked down and noticed the blood still on his clothes and touched his face noticing there was blood still on his face as well. "Oh. ." He just simply replied with.

I must have forgotten to clean off before coming here. . .

"Was you attacked?! Is that why your late?!" Elexis asked in a panic.

"No. . . Not attacked per-say." Alton replied.

Elexis made all three of them sit down and made them explain everything that had happened to them before they even managed to get half way there. Elexis listened very carefully and then started to think.

"A strange boy? With milti-coloured eyes. . . And horns huh. . . Could that have been- no I doubt it. ." Elexis muttered.

"Princess is there something wrong?" Cody asked her.

"Well from what you said I think I know who that guy was. . ." Elexis said to them.

All three of them looked at her in shock at the fact she might know of it was. "you do?" Lloyd asked her.

Elexis nodded her head and looked at them all once again. "There was this boy I met a few years ago, he was so powerful. . . He had a torn black shirt, knee lengths shorts and some shoes, with a necklace that was gold and in a shape of an the tip of an arrow." Elexis said to them.

"That's the same exact thing he is as wearing when we met him!" Cody said to her.

"I see. . . Red hair almost like blood and one golden eye the other eye was a pale blue-ish green colour, horns as well. ." Elexis muttered.

The three boys nodded their confirming with what she was saying.

"I'm certain then. . . That boy was Ryuu."
