I knew she flipped Demetrius on his back but I didn’t think she’d be interested in the training yard. Frankly most women found it boring. Although I’m beginning to see Anna wasn’t like most women. My father nodded slowly,
“Sure. I will personally show you myself.” He grinned. Everyone looked at him shocked. Some girls looked at Anna with envy while others looked at her in awe. My father doesn’t just give his time to just anyone outside the family.
“I’ll join you.” I said, smiling.
“Me too.” Demetrius answered as well. Soon everyone wanted to go, but I think that’s because me, my father, and Demetrius are going. Oh, well, I want to see what she’s got.
Chapter eight
Anna
We were getting ready to leave to the training yard and I was still thinking about everything that had happened. I can’t believe this is happening! I know my luck can be bad sometimes but this is just ridiculous .
I had to at least call my mom and friends. They could at least allow me that much. Maybe I can make a deal. This could be fun I guess, I mean it’s better than that rat hole I was going to sleep in. This is a once and a lifetime opportunity, so might as well make the best of it.
I was following Prince Zachias and the King to the training yard. The first thought came to mind when I saw Zach-yes I’ll call him that - is yum ! I quickly shook that thought out of my head.
Yes he was yummy, but I could tell he had an arrogant side. I think I’m going to have to kick that down a few notches . I smirked at the thought.
“Anna?” Demetrius called out behind me. I smiled.
“Yes Dem?” I asked. His name was a handful too.
“Dem?” He chuckled. I nodded. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Zach looking at me. I chose to ignore him. Better not give him any reason to show interest in me. I turned my attention back to Dem.
“Yes, your name is a mouthful and you look like a Dem.” I shrugged. Looking around the long, and large hallway the walls were so tall it felt like I was in a church sanctuary. It was beautiful though.
There were paintings everywhere that seemed to be family portraits. Hopefully I can get a closer look later. It seemed like forever before we reached a huge door. I noticed Zach kept stealing glances at me.
The girls around me kept stumbling over their long dressing gowns. I knew some of them were nice but I knew a few of them were a two faced baboon like Elise. I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned my head to see a young looking blonde.
“Hi! My name is Sydney!” She smiled and had an Irish accent. I smiled back and shook her hand.
“Anna.” I knew from her genuine smile she was nice. We would be friends. I just knew it.
“I know. Personally I think Prince Zachias likes you.” She giggled. I rolled my eyes and was well aware of a certain prince listening. I snorted at her.
“Yeah right! I wouldn’t want him to show any interest in me.” I shrugged as she gasped and I saw Zach frown. I smirked at that. Oh how I love to play with my boys!
“How can you not want him?! He’s gorgeously hot, and lives in a castle!” She stage whispers to me. Knowing he was still listening again I shrug.
“Doesn’t matter to me. I personally think he’s a little arrogant.” I grinned at the fact that Zach was now scowling at the floor. Hahaha! I’m so evil! I know with the hall now quiet people were listening. Whatever. Dem was chuckling to himself and whispering quietly to Zach.
Finally the King opens the doors to the outside and I grin at what I see. It was a large field and there were men training on it. Some were using swords, others were boxing, and some were using bows or guns.
The men around the yard stop and look. Their eyes widen when they take everyone in. I swear you could see their testosterone level rise with all the girls here. I
