The Tiger jumped and landed forcefully on Alexa’s body.
She flinched in shock as the lion pressed her body and struggled to bite her face.
“Argghh!!!” she cried out in pain as the tiger finally suceed in bitting part of her face.
Pain echoed in her voice as she Scream in tears.
She tried to push the tiger away from her but the tiger was over powering her.
The tiger didn’t stop there, he bit her hand while Alexa sreamed in pain… This time, it was more louder than the first one.
The bird around the trees in the bush flew away because of the loud screams.
The Tiger didn’t stop there. It tried to bite her nose this time but Alexa’s eyes turned black immdiately.
She didn’t know where the courage, and boldness came from as she raised up her left hand and landed a heavy punch and the Tiger flew and landed dowfully on one the trees.
The tiger died instantly as Alexa sighed in relief and stood up from the ground.
She picked her box, turned swiftly and ran away with blood dripping from her body to the ground.
When she was sure she has gone far away from that particular area, she sat on the ground and rested on one of the trees.
“T…That was close” she breathed profusely and quickly brought out a mirror from her box.
She starred at her face and gasped in shock.
“Oh My God!! Is this me??” she exclaimed, staring at her face in the mirror.
Her face was filled with bruise all over her face with a lot of mark and cutted parts…the Tiger really designed her face with his teeth.
Geez! Is this really her???
She dropped the mirror on the ground and bursted into tears.
“God! Why don’t you just take my life, why? Why’s my life so miserable?” she lamented, cleaning the tears and blood on her face.
She just wished that she’s dead…
As she whimpered and sniffled in tears, a portal appeared in the big bush as she stood up immediately.
She wasen’t scared anymone because she knew it was the Old woman who was coming to give her a piece of advice.
As expected, the woman appeared out of the Portal.
“Good Morning Ma’am” Alexa greeted politely.
“Morning. Look at your face, you’re really hurt” the woman said and leaned close to her, cleaning her face with a cloth.
“Tiger” Alexa mumbled silently, holding her self from pouring more tears.
“You see why i told yot to always ‘believe in yourself’, this wouldn’t have happened” the woman cautioned, cleaning the blood while Alexa winced in pain.
“I Tried but i couldn’t” Alexa replied.
“Oh so sorry. Just continue trying and you’ll be perfect” the woman replied and dropped the wet cloth on the floor.
“Perfect about what? Do i posses any sort of magical power?” Alexa asked with a confused look while the woman shot her a glare.
“Don’t tell me the Priest haven’t told you the truth yet” th old woman said.
“I Don’t know what you’re talking about. Pls tell me the truth” Alexa demanded nerviously.
“I’l do that later. I need to heal you before any other thing” the woman said but Alexa stop her and held her hand tightly.
“I Know you to be very tricky. Just tell me the truth, pls” Alexa pleaded nerviously as the old woman exhaled deeply.
“I Wish i can tell you now but my Master has told me never to tell you the truth. He said you’ll find out yourself” the woman replied..
“Pls just tell me…even if it’s a hint of it” Alexa pleaded and knelt down, placing her two hands together making the old woman sighed in devastation.
“I”m sorry i can’t” the woman stated calmly while Alexa stood up and folded her hands akimbo.
“Why then are you here?” Alexa scoffed, fiegning annoyance.
“Just to heal your face so you can be beautiful as before” the woman replied, beaming with smiles.
“I Don’t fking need your healing. Just get the he.ll out” Alexa snapped angrily.
“I’m sorry if i offended you” the old woman said sincerely.
“If you are not ready to tell me the truth, then go away!!” Alexa half yelled at her, with her voice sounding thunderous.
The old woman stood still relucant to leave.
“Oh, seems you’re not ready to leave. I’ll leave you here” Alexa grouse as she placed the mirror back to the box, picked the box and walked away.
Unkown to her, The old woman has already used her powers to restore her beauty before walking away.
Alexa sighed in furstration as she kept on walking to God~Knows~Where.
She has never been confused in her life like that.
As she walked on the road, she remembered what happened to her and the Tiger few minutes ago.
Hold on….
I Did i punch the Tiger to death?? Just one punch??
She thought as she stopped walking.
“Is it possible that i have supernatural power?” she asked herself.

Prince Bryan sat on the bed in his room, reading one of his favourite books when the knock came on the door.
He stop the reading and turned his head towards the door and with his grumpy voice, he asked : “Who is there?”
“My Prince. Your mother sent me to tell you to start getting prepared for the ceremony” the maid replied from outside.
“Which ceremony? who is celebrating and what are they celebrating?” Bryan asked in a confused look.
“I Don’t really know but from the way the sitting room was decorated, i guess it’s an introduction” Bryan’s ears flared up immediately he heard those words. His nose crinkled in suprise.
“Okay, Okay, tell the Queen that i’ll be there in a jiffy” Bryan lied as the Maid bowed and walked away.
Almost immediately, He ran toward the door and quickly pinned the inner door.
Bryan sighed in satisfaction and returned to the bed. He pulled the duvet closer and pretended to be asleep.

30 minutes later.
King Damien, Queen Allysia, Prince Bentley, Mrs Elvans, Mr Evans (priest) and Stephine all sat on the Big Sofa’s silently and patiently waiting for Prince Bryan to come out.
The priest was gradually gettting impatient same as the King and also the Queen.
What’s still keeping him inside the house?
Is he sleeping or what?
Different thoughts ran through their minds.
Stephine wasen’t impatient but was worried about Bryan.
“Are you sure you told Bryan to get dressed for the introduction?” Queen Allysia stood up and asked the maid she sent to Bryan.
“Yes My Queen, he said he’ll be ready in a jiffy” the maid responded, nodding her head in affirmative.
“I Think i’ll go check up on him myself” the Queen said and walked out of the sitting room.

As soon as the Queen came into the sitting room without Bryan, King Damien stood up and asked: “Where is Bryan? Why’s he not with you?” King Damien asked while Queen Allysia shooked her head sadly.
“Bryan has refused to come out of the house, he said ‘he’ll rather die than to Marry Stephine. According to him, he have a feeling that his love is on her way. So stephine should back out” Queen Allysia stated making everyone gasped.
Stephine’s hearts shattered into pieces immediately she heard those hurtfull words from the Queen.
