Chapter 6 - who is behind the helmet?

Shulmanu took his mask off, and was shocked to see it wasnt actually a man, it was a woman, and not just an ordinary woman, the princess of Babylon..

Shulmanu's eyes instantly widened, seeing he was apparently dorm mates with the princess said in his head:

Shulmanu: "What the hell?.. princess Amira is my dorm mate..?"

after that he slowly put her helmet back on her, doing it carefully so he doesn't wake her up, he slowly walked back to his bed and laid back down, he tried sleeping and forgetting about everything but couldn't

Shulmanu: "how will I be able to sleep now, knowing the princess of Babylon herself is apparently one of his dorm mates"

he said to himself, looking at the ceiling, not knowing what to do for the next, he would be staring at the ceiling for the next 2 hours..

the 2 Goddesses in the heavens were still watching on their TV, like his life was a TV show, they both got Shocked that the princess was the one behind the mask

Ereshkigal: "Wow, that was shocking.."

Ishtar: "Who would've thought that the princess would join the army as a secret"

Ereshkigal: "Doesn't she know the punishment? 10 lashes, it will be hard watching that happen to her"

Ishtar: "I've seen worse, at least its one girl out of Shulmanu's way so i can take him for myself when i get the chance"

This made Ereshkigal a little angry and she yelled at Ishtar, saying:

Ereshkigal: "We promised not to intervene in his life! it will get him killed and us in big trouble you know!"

Ishtar: "Fine fine, you're so boring you know that?"

Ereshkigal: "Oh sorry that im trying to keep him and us out of trouble" 

Both of them starting arguing because of it. but meanwhile on earth, a commander entered Dorm 1's room, he looked surprised to see Shulmanu awake

Commander Kuduru: "Wake u- oh you're awake already? tell your dorm mates to wakes we have training soon"

Shulmanu nodded and than Kuduru closed the door and left, he stood up from his bed and tried waking up both of them

Shulmanu: "Wake up you two, we have training soon"

Sitrum/Princess Amira quickly woke up, knowing someone would find out if she didn't, but on the other hand, Nabamu was still asleep, hugging one of his pillows, Shulmanu tried waking him up again, but he still would not wake up, this made Shulmanu angry and he punched Nabamu's head, after that, Nabamu quickly woke up angry

Nabamu: "Hey! what was that for!"

he angrily yelled

Shulmanu: "Don't get mad at me, you were the one who wasn't waking up"

Nabamu wanted to retaliate but realize he was far weaker than Shulmanu, the 3 of them would walk their way to the training grounds, but on their way Shulmanu whispered

Shulmanu: "Princess Amira, i know its you"

when she heard that, her eyes widened behind her helmet, and she pulled Shulmanu into the nearby bathroom, and first checked around if no one was in the bathroom, than she asked

Princess Amira: "How do you know?.."

she asked confused and worried that more people would find out

Shulmanu: "Well.. I kinda took your helmet off while you were asleep.."

Princess Amira: "AND WHY DID YOU DO THAT?"

she yelled

Shulmanu: "I have my reasons alright?"

he said, too embarrassed to admit the reason he took her helmet off

Princess Amira: "Promise to never, and i mean never! tell anyone that i am the princess, alright"

Shulmanu: "I wasn't planning to, relax."

Princess Amira: "Thank you Shulmanu.. I owe you"

Shulmanu: "But wait! the real question is, why did you join the army?, if you have a perfect life as the princess of Babylonia?"

Princess Amira: "Ill tell you after training alright?"

Shulmanu nodded, Princess Amira put her helmet back on and they both left the bathroom, Nabamu was waiting there confused on what they did in the bathroom

Nabamu: "The hell were you 2 doing?"

Shulmanu: "Nothing, we had to do something real quick"

Nabamu: "And why shouldn't i know about it?"

Shulmanu: "Just shut up and lets go"

Nabamu looked suspiciously at them but tried ignoring what just happened and walked to the training grounds, when they arrived Commander Kuduru told everything

Commander Kuduru: "Everyone, you and your dorm mates will be sparring, but without swords for now, you will fist fight your dorm mates, the one who wins has to fight the next dorm mate, do we understand the rules soldiers?"

All of the soldiers: "Yes we do Commander Kuduru sir"

Commander Kuduru: "Alright than soldiers, begin now!"

Shulmanu, knowing Sitrum was actually Princess Amira, knowing she is probably weaker than the average male their age quickly said to

Shulmanu: "Nabamu, let me spar with you first, I wanna see which one of us is the strongest"

Nabamu: "Umm alright, but don't think ill hold back on you!"

he said a little scared, knowing Shulmanu's strength, they started and Nabamu quickly landed a punch on him, but Shulmanu was unphased, he landed a punch to Nabamu's chest which instantly knocked him out, Shulmanu looked shocked that he got knocked out so fast and walked up to Commander Kuduru, and asked

Shulmanu: "Can we bring Nabamu back to our dorm, he looks very hurt and needs to rest to get back up"

Commander Kuduru nodded, and than said

Commander Kuduru: "Alright, but next time, do not go so hard on your Dorm mate, we don't need all your dorm mates getting injured from sparring

Shulmanu nodded and picked up Nabamu, Together Shulmanu(who is carrying the Unconcious Nabamu) and Sitrum/Princess Amira would walk back to their dorm, when they entered the dorm, Princess Amira locked the door and took her helmet off, Shulmanu put Nabamu on his bed while he and Princess Amira sat on his bed

Shulmanu: "So? why did you join the army?"

Princess Amira paused before saying

Princess Amira: "Well its because.."
