章節 8: CHAPTER # 08
"There's a reason behind it and that is-" "My lady!"
Mom got cut off by a maid's sudden appearance.
"What's wrong?" Mom asked.
"I'm sorry for the disturbance but the Lord is calling for you saying it's urgent!" she said panting.
Mom frowned upon hearing since Daddy never interrupts her walk so she assumed it might be something very important so she turned towards me and said,
"Baby, you continue your walk and have fun with Fannie, Mommy is heading inside since it looks like something is serious. We'll continue our talk later okay?"
"Okay..." I said. She kissed my cheek and left.
"But I really wanted to know why he didn't agree..." I said pouting.
After a little scroll I returned to my chamber and laid on the bed and started wondering why they didn't agree.
I guess they are probably wondering why I suddenly had the urge to learn swordsmanship. Well it's something like this that last night after returning from the Romet's mansion I laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling remembering how Knox was bragging about his training and how he is gonna be strong and how everyone complimented him.
I somewhat also wanted to brag as well that I was at the top as well but I couldn't so I decided that I will train here as well and reach the top again and I also have to practice since I don't want to lose my skills and maintain my strength so that I can help myself when I'm in trouble.
Instead of being the princess in distress waiting for her knight to save her, I want to become the knight itself who is strong enough to protect herself and others as well, That's all.
"But why the hell did he disagree? He should be proud... shouldn't he? Uwahhh, I don't know...but I wanna knowww~!" I whined rolling here and there on the bed.
After I calmed down a bit I was again staring at the ceiling.
*Knock Knock*
"Come in," I said without moving an inch.
"Miss?" I heard Fannie's voice.
"Hmm" I hummed in response. I was still in my thoughts.
"Why are you so down after the walk?" she said, chuckling while replacing the flowers in the vase. I got up and looked at her and said,
"Why do you think Daddy didn't agree for me to learn swordsmanship?".
"Hmm...I don't know but I know this much that he loves you dearly and will never make any decision to hurt you." she said, smiling at me.
"You're right but still..." I said again laying down on the bed.
"Ah! Why did Daddy ask for Mommy? Do you know something?" I got up and looked at her curiously as she gulped, maintaining her smiley face while I could clearly see sweat on her forehead.
"I...how...would I know? haha... I'm a mere servant...how can I know haha" she said, averting her gaze.
"Fannieee..." I said sternly, making her gulp.
"I really don't know, miss..." she said, trying not to get caught.
"You really won't tell me?" I said showing my famous puppy eyes making her twitch as I know everyone here is weak to cute things including me.
It was a really intense stare off as I continued to stare at her with my cute face and she continuously averted her gaze then again looked at me then again averted her eyes and at the end of course I won. She sighed and said,
"No one can win against you, Miss..." making me smile. I scooted close to her as she giggled and sat beside me.
"Okay, so I don't know the details but I saw a Royal messenger coming out of the Lord's room when I was taking out the laundry and I saw an emblem on his shirt that was purple in colour which means that he was a messenger sent by the Empress.." she told me as I listened carefully.
"That's it?" I asked as she nodded.
"Come on Fannie, I thought there was some serious issue..." I said and laid on the bed.
"It is!!!! The Empress rarely sends messengers and if she does, it seems something is up and for why I was hesitating to tell you was because you never liked the Royals and whenever there was any topic related to the Royal family your mood always got bad so...yeah" she said.
"Oh is that so? haha" I laughed awkwardly, "So you're saying that whenever the Empress sends a message it is something important?" I asked Fannie lying on my stomach.
"Yes." she replied.
'What could it be?' I thought.
"It's getting late, Milady. You should get some rest now." Fannie said.
"Okay..." I said.
"Do you want me to read you a bedtime story?" she asked.
"Nope. I'm a big girl now so I can sleep by myself" I said, making her giggle.
"Yes yes, you're a big girl now. So I'll be leaving now, good night" she said.
"Sweet dreams!" I said and she left.
'Gosh, acting like a kid sure is not easy *sigh*' I thought before drifting off to my dreamland.
<><><><><>
"What? Mom and Dad are at the Romet's? So early in the morning? Why?" I asked the Knight standing in front of their chamber.
"I don't know Milady. Maybe you should wait till their return." he said smiling at me, I nodded with a smile and left from there heading towards my chamber. I was about to enter but a voice stopped me in my tracks.
"Sabiii!!"
I turned towards the direction it came from.
It was Anne and Knox but they weren't alone. Someone was hiding behind Knox, making me squint my eyes to see that person. Anne ran towards me and jumped on me making me lose balance and both of us fell on the ground.
"Ouch...Hey!!! you relax a bit" I said to Anne as I got up rubbing my butt and she just giggled making me chuckle too.
"Ahem Ahem"
"Yeah yeah, you jealous boy. Come here." I went towards Knox and hugged him, after breaking the hug I ruffled his hair making him whine. It took half an hour to style his hair according to him and this made me and Anne laugh hard seeing him pouting so cutely.
*giggle*
We all turned towards the direction the sound came from, it was from a boy who looked the same age as Knox. He had soft blonde hair and light blue eyes with soft features just like an innocent boy...wait...this description...oh, I remember,he resembles the second prince....
...THE SECOND PRINCE????
My eyes widened at the realization as I looked at him up and down as he gave me an uncomfortably confused look.
'What the- What is he doing here??? And why the hell is he with them? Am I forgetting something? Did he appear this early? Was it mentioned that they had childhood past? My Ann??? He looks innocent but only I know how not less of a devil he is. Oh God! Is handling these two isn't enough that you have sent this third piece as a present? Arghh...I'm not ready for this face off yet1'
I looked calm on the outside but there was a storm going on inside me. Knox looked in the direction I was looking at and then he realised he hadn't introduced us yet.
"*cough* So since I'm the oldest here, I'm in charge here. So you have to listen t-"
"You are not that old though" I cut him off like they do to me.
"I am! I am a year older than y-"
"8 months! You are 8 months older than me, not even a whole year" I again cut him off.
"Hey! I'm still older and will stop cutting me off!" he argued.
"Now you get how I feel when you all cut me off, like all the time!" I argued back.
"You-"
"Brother. If you keep arguing with my Sabi I will tell Grandpa and you have to go through the punishment he will give you" this time Anne cut him off while glaring at him making him gulp.
Woah, never thought she could be evil as well, I giggle. These two look like real siblings but how the hell did they end up like that? I looked at the two innocent kids in front of me.
"S-so I guess we should introduce them right, Anne?" he let out an awkward laugh while looking at Anne who was still glaring at him.
"Haha, so let me intro-"
"Introduce us! yeah we get it! Can you speak ahead of that?" I said, cutting him off as he was annoying the shit out of me.
"Y'all are so mean," he said, pouting. While on the other side the blonde boy was just observing the weird mess in front of him dumbfounded.
"So, Sabrina, this is the Second Prince of Paizi Empire 'Aiden Moore' and Your Highness, this is the daughter of Duke Carlos Niam 'Sabrina Niam" he introduced us blankly as we bowed to each other.
"It's an honour for me to meet his highness in person" I said as it is courtesy.
"The pleasure is all mine Lady Sabrina" he replied.
After the courtesy I turned towards Knox and said, "You introduced us like one of us stole your penguin plushie"
"I was going to introduce normally but you ruined my- HEY!!! don't joke about my Mr. Fankie!!" he protested.
"Fankie? PwahHahaha Fankie? What kind of name is that? hahaHAhAAHaa" I said while laughing my ass off.
"Hey! Stop it! Stop before I break those teeth out!!!" he yelled. I stopped laughing and went towards him with a serious face making him walk backwards.
"W-what?" he stuttered.
"You will hit a girl? A weak girl with no power? Are you that low?" I asked, showing clear disappointment on my face.
"N-no I d-didn't mean it l-like t-that" he said while stuttering and felt guilty.
I was controlling my laughter so badly. I couldn't control anymore and slapped the back of his head making him stumble. I ran from there while shouting,
"BECAUSE YOU NEED TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT YOU WEAK MEATBALL!!!".
"M-Meatball??!!!!! Did she really call me that or did I mishear?" he asked, looking at the other two who were silently enjoying the show.
After earning a nod from them he sprinted towards the figure who was running through the hallway followed by the remaining two.
"GET HERE, YOU SHORTY!!!" he shouted while chasing after me.
"SHORTY??? THEN WHAT ARE YOU?... A SKYSCRAPER??" I shouted back.
"SKY WHAT???" he asked while shouting.
I facepalmed myself as they didn't know what a skyscraper was.
"NOTHING!!! JUST CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, YOU TOMATO HEAD" I shouted back mocking his red hair.
"NOT MY HAIR!!!! YOU ARE DEAD ONCE I CATCH YOU!!!!" he shouted back getting offended.
'Sometimes acting like a kid isn't that bad either' I thought.
"HAHAHA YOU CAN'T CATCH UP WITH M-Ack" I was running but suddenly out of nowhere I bumped into something hard causing me to fall back.
"Owww...that hurts" I said, rubbing my head.
"Oh my!! Sabrina? My child, are you okay?" someone said.
I looked up to see a tall figure of a man standing in front of me. I was confused as to how he knows my name? I couldn't see his face due to the sunlight coming from behind him. Due to the light, I squinted my eyes to see clearly but I couldn't see his face.
"Y-yes I'm okay...but...who are y-"
"Dad?" I got cut off by a voice that came from behind me making me turn. It was...
