Prince continued down several hallways until he finally made it to a shorter hallway that leads to the back of his royal home. Still frustrated and at the same time nervous, he continued to worry about how his training will turn out when his father sees the ripped threaded sack. "Why me?" Prince said to himself as he looked the sack. He continued walking towards the double back doors but in between Prince and the exit, he passed by a small heavy clay-like door that had appeared to be locked. Not paying any mind to it, he continued making his way toward towards the exit until he was close enough to reach for its handles. He was about to push the double back doors open until suddenly the door open with a thud along with a heavy scrapping of hardened clay rubbing against the clay floors.
"Huh?" Prince said as he turned his head to see what the noise was. A small dust cloud came out of the door way followed by a couple of coughing noises. A familiar female badgerhog came out of the doorway dusting herself off. "Boy one of these days, I'll going teach HIM lesson....," she complained. "Throwing me into that dusty room....," she dusted herself off some more. "He doesn't know who he's up against....," she began to cough a few times, "up against one of the...cough...royal badgerhog family," she said after clearing her throat. After recognizing her voice, Prince fully turned around and was able to get a clear view of the female badgerhog. It turned that it was the badgerhog queen which somewhat stunned Prince in a way. "M..mom?" Prince said in a confused manner. The badgerhog Queen stopped what she was doing and looked up, and saw Prince looking back at her while holding his training weapons in his arms. "Oh Prince, I...I didn't notice you were there. I thought you were training with your father?" She said as she closed the heavy clay door back. "I was until I heard a loud door opened and you complaining about someone," Prince explained. "Who is this "him" you're referring to and why are you so determine to get him?," He asked with much curiosity, "and to add on another question: How did you manage to open that heavy clay door open from the opposite side? I don't see any handles to grab and pull open, not even a lever," He pointed out to his mother while holding his training weapons in his arms. The badgerhog Queen felt she was backed into a corner with nowhere to run and had to think of a quick answer to get her out it. Suddenly she gotten frustrated with Prince, "What did I tell you about poking your nose in elderly's business," she said with anger in her voice. "I'm your mother, not one of your servants. So, I will appreciated it that you treat me with respect as your Queen and as your mother!," she said very fiercely. Using the "stay out of elderly doings" tactic, it forced Prince to rethink his next words. "I'm sorry mother. I was just curious is all," he responded, looking downward. Without saying a word, the badgerhog Queen walked away, leaving Prince in his deep thoughts.
