" I can see you're getting closer to the princess!"
I wasn't expecting Savage to be back from his so called work... total bloodshed is what keeps him going
"Yeah... she's sweet!" I couldn't help saying... Isabella is indeed the sweetest girl I've ever met
"It's for the better then!" He was pleased... nodding to him, I left to go see my princess.
It was long... I got to her quarters...with flowers behind me
These kind gestures will keep me locked in with her in her heart
Swinging her sword,she looks more beautiful than I remember...her hair well cut...the back flowing down her hips in perfect rhythm to the sword swinging
I've not seen a woman this amazing
I decided not to distract her! She was so focused with her opponent and she soon defeats him.
Fast speed to the other course, shooting the arrows fast consecutively hitting the bull's-eye without a miss
She's a man woman...a warrior princess!
"Your highness!" I decided to maintain the formalities... it's an honor to even give her flowers..!
"Oh my... Ronald...how long have you been standing there?" Her demeanor changes instantly to that of a little spoilt brat
"Not long but long enough to watch you do those amazing tricks. You're getting better and better!
My guess is you've made the training grounds your home!".... I smiled bringing out the flowers
She screamed in
excitement...then...her mood changes instantly
"I can't accept it... I'm sorry!"...
"Why...? Is it not to your liking?" ... I didn't want to sound off...
"It's perfect... it's my favorite! It's just that my father is the only one who gives me flowers. I haven't gotten one in a long time after his death!"
Her eyes moist with tears...
"I'm sorry... I just wanted to make you happy!" ... I was clueless... I wish I wasn't
"It's okay! Thank you Ron!"she smiled again,her mood swings is really instantaneous
"Ron uhn... finally a nickname!"....
regardless...my name sounds perfect in her mouth
She pulls me in to the shed for a tea break..
"You didn't skip meal right?"... I asked her... because the Isabella I know would have gotten food ready in the shed
"Nah... I'm busy with training and other stuff... but skipping meals? No way in the world!"
I knew it
"Your highness....the general hopes you'll grace the emissary from Northern Highbury with your presence!" The guard informed
"Let's go...!"
"Won't you change?"... I asked. Not that the attire isn't nice...it makes her look profound
"No... I want to make a grand entrance! The armour is perfect!"...the smirk on her face is so unlike her,she looks calculating and different!
Her marching were outstanding... moving in counts and graciously lifting those legs in perfect sync.
I muttered my courage to match hers.. but the royal aura is indeed felt.
Her hair blowing away, everyone bows to receive her...
Not minding the gaze from anyone,her eyes were sharp and I feel proud and honored to walk with her.
Bowing humbling to the Queen we both resumed to our spot. She on the seat while I stand beside her.
I can feel a hot gaze on me... raising my head I saw the general... not looking at me but her!
I think he's surprised she turned out different. The house arrest really did good on her!
"Princess Elena of Northern Highbury greets your majesty, the general,the princess!"
She's a true beauty,like a petite flowers...a doll like face
Smooth...
Isabella nods..her aura filling the room.
"I've heard a lot about your highness!"...she sure has the guts talking
"And what's that?" Her voice hot,loud and rigid. Not the childish voice I heard a moment ago
"I heard how beautiful and kind you are. I've hope so long to see you and I'm indeed pleased today and honoured as well!"
Her courtesy is really exceptional
"Well we're glad to have you here today. Do not shy away from enjoying yourself here.
And for your kind words... I do appreciate it!"
Swift and clear...
The alliance was more than exceptional and why can I feel a certain gaze...
It's the princess Elena... her sharp wink sent me blushing...!
I pretended not to see and left with Isabella.
General Alexander POV
If I say I wasn't smitten and surprised at her transformation... I'll definitely tell a lie
For a month, I didn't see her, neither did meet at the dinning hall. She completely left me to my side
And this new look,the sharp words...the aura is intoxicating.
I can't wait to see her at dinner today as to welcome the emissary from Northern Highbury
"General!".... princess Elena wasn't supposed to be here, I can't understand what the heck her father was thinking sending a woman here instead.
"I hope you're getting comfortable princess Elena!".... I awaken my hospitality spirit... I don't want to act nasty or arrogant to her
"Oh yes I am. Thank you! I've gotten a letter from my brother... he'll join us for dinner!" She smiled which was weird...
she's indeed beautiful but if there's one thing I don't appreciate about her is her sudden guts
What gave her the guts to talk to Isabella like that?
What gave her the guts to enter into my quarters without Sebastian telling me first?
And what gave her the guts to suddenly smile at me?
What gave her the guts to think she can fool me?
"I can see you're busy... I'll take my leave now. See you at dinner!" She smiles again!... weird...and crazy little brat
Whatever you're cooking with your father isn't going to work.
Isabella POV
If I say that brat didn't have guts I'm definitely lying!
Who do she thinks she is exactly...?
Besides her face looks familiar... whatever I have to be ready for dinner tonight
"Pick the black color! No exposing of cleavage!"
I've actually changed...
One month locked in here was the reality check I need...a break from everything and anyone!
I take my bathe with rose petal now...it makes my shine shine more with an amazing scent.
I've also changed my hair... I allowed it grow longer, giving me a cover I need.
Dinner is here.
I might have actually forgot the time. I was only few minutes late.
And everyone is there I can tell by the chatters...
One thing I've read,as a princess I don't shy away from anything or anyone. I face it head on with my pride intact and my head high no matter what.
I should be be the one bring them down..not the other way round.
Walking graciously to the hall... I didn't blink, spotted my seat from a distance. They all rise to receive me.
I can feel the tensed air...why...?
It's simple...this little girl just turned to a fine thorn..one wrong touch and you'll lose blood, definitely!
I sat down quietly besides the general
"You may rise... let's have our seat!"...in the most refined voice I gestured them to their seat
"Your majesty, you look daunting and amazing today as always!".... the minister of finance is a friend to my father,so that joke can definitely pass
"Thank you!" Giving him my smile that didn't reach my face, just with the eyes which he acknowledged. My mother entered.
I haven't seen her, either has she come visit me.
She'll have to explain later.
I rose up to receive her too.. honouring her with courtesy greetings!
She's dressed flamboyantly today, quite flashy.
Something I used to like but not anymore!
