“William,” I greeted him.
“Hello Alicia.” William was smiling at me. his smile was fuzzy and warm unlike Leon’s which is bright as the sun.
“Why are my differentiating William and Leon’s smile? Alicia that’s improper,’ I scolded myself thinking about such thing.
“One of your maid’s in your courtyard told me you were here. ” William said. He walked towards me.
“Please have a seat,” I told William,” I am taking a break from my studies.
“Oh is that so? Am I disturbing ? William asked.
“Ofcourse not,” you are free to join me if you wish. I’m going to have horseback riding lessons next,” I said.
“Then can I accompany you? William asked.
“Ofcourse,” I smiled at him.
“Oh look what we have here,” A familiar voice said from behind me.
I looked behind me and I saw my second older sisters,the second princess Elizabeth.
“Second sister,”I was surprised. I stand up and give my courtesy as a greeting.
“Second princess Elizabeth, Good afternoon,” William also stood up and bowed Infront of her.
“Rise Young Lord William,” Elizabeth said.
“Third princess Alicia, William, a young man beside Elizabeth greeted us.
Elizabeth is with two young men. One I knew was her personal knights Bradford.
Bradford was a tall young man with auburn hair and light green eyes. He had a gentle face for a knight. As I know he was nineteen year’s old. Bradford who was behind Elizabeth also bowed as a greeting.
The one that greeted me I don’t know who he was. But he looks like a young lord from a noble family judging from his clothes. He has light Brown hair and brown eyes. He was tall but not tall as William and Leon.
“James’ fancy meeting you here.”William greeted the Young Man besides Elizabeth.”Alicia this is james, he is the eldest son and the heir of Carlson dukedom.”
I looked at James, he seems a rather proud Young man with an air of arrogance in him.
“I am starting to Court our second princess Elizabeth. “That’s why I’m here,” james said with a Ç0çƙy smile.
I see Elizabeth rolled her eye’s without James noticing it. She seems to be unsatisfied with her suitor.
“Is that so? Well then good luck, William said with a smile.
“Hahaha thanks,” James was laughing proudly.” Are you here to Court the third princess?
“Well something like that,” William said and looked at me affectionately. I blushed with her stare.
Elizabeth clenched her first looking irritated.
“Well nothing is set in stone, our marriages are still decided by our father king. Your courting is just a way to see if your suitors are suited to be our husbands.” Elizabeth Said with an irritated face.
“You Re right there Princess Elizabeth. But I’m sure to work hard to get our father’s approval for Alicia’s hand in marriage.”William said confidently.
Elizabeth was fuming with anger, “I’m afraid she would burst.
“Second sister, young lord James, would you like to sit and have a snacks? I offered to quench Elizabeth’s anger.
Elizabeth gave me a look and smiled wickedly.
“Ofcourse sister,”Elizabeth said.
Elizabeth and James took their seat while Bradford stood behind. William and I took our seat as well.
“Come and seat here with me sister,” Elizabeth told me. I was a little hesitant at first it but I can’t refuse her or I will regret it later. I know how she is if mad.
Elizabeth’s maid brought a teapot with tea. What I didn’t see was the look Elizabeth gave to her maid. The maid nodded silently.
“I gifted you this oolong tea that I got from my journey in the Grandcrest kingdom. I know you like oolong tea so I specifically bought it for you.” James said to Elizabeth.
The teapot was placed besides me.
“Thank you james, “Elizabeth smiled at james and he smiled with satisfaction.” Sister can you pour me a cup please,” Elizabeth asked me.
I nodded, I lifted the teapot and was about to pour it in her cup when my gripe suddenly slipped.
The teapot fell and landed on the table. The hot tea splashed out.
“Ahhh.”Elizabeth cried. She was holding her face. “It’s hurt,” she was crying in Pains.
The hot tea also splashed on my hands and it burned.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to…” I was saying when I felt a slap on my face. I lost my balance from the Force and Landed on the floor. I can feel the pain on my checks as I hold it.
“Insolence,” James shouted.” I have heard that you were jealous of your sister’s beauty but I never thought you would do such a thing to hurt her beautiful face!”
“But I didn’t….. It was an accident ,”. I said tears are coming from my eyes.
I see my sister crying, Bradford was there assisting her and applying ice.
William leaned down beside me and comforted me.” James what are you doing? She is still the third princess of alvannia. You don’t have any evidence that she did it on purpose. It was an accident.
“She’s just a bastard!” James shouted.
Then a shadow passed by me From behind.the next time I know James was on the ground with a bloody nose.
“f_ck!”James shouted. “Who
Dare heat me!.
“You dare lay your hands on my princess,”A cold voice said, when I looked up I saw the back of a familiar figure.
“Sir Leon,” I muttered.
Leon looked at me. His face was full of worry. He kneeled beside me.
“I’m sorry my princess. I wasn’t here to protect you. it’s.y fault you got hurt.” Leon looked at me with regret.
“Hmmm, don’t Blame yourself.” I a
Said.
“Who are you to dare hit me? I’m the son of the Duke of Carlson.” I am here James yelled.” I am the heir of the Carlson dukedom.”
Leon’s face changed in an instant. From the bright and cheerful Leon that I know it turned to a cold blooded being. I felt a chill down of spine. His eyes has a tinge of bloodlust.
“My princess please go inside,”I’ll take care of this,” Leon said seriously.
“No Leon. I’m not going anywhere without you,” I have a feeling that Leon Will start a fight.
I was worried that he would be beaten up, if Elizabeth Bradford joins the fight I am not sure leon Would win. I know that Bradford is one of the best in the royal guards.
Leon gave me a gentle smile,the smile I so much love. I just realized that I called this name without any honorifics.
” Don’t worry my princess,”even if an army stands in my was no one can stop me from avenging you.” Leon Said, he gently caressed my now swollen cheek. Then hint the bloodlust in his eyes appeared again.
“Young Lord William please keep your eyes on princess Alicia,” Leon told William.
“Yes sir Leon,” leave her to me, William said.
Leon stood up and held his sword that was placed idly by his waist.
“Sir Bradford,” Leon Called for his attention.
“Yea?” Bradford answered.
“You know the Knight code, correct? Leon asked.
“Ofcourse, I know it by heart, “Bradford replied. He was beside his princess Elizabeth. The maids has gotten Ice to place on her burn face.
Then you know that anyone that hurt our sworn master lady Will be punished under our sword, Leon said with a neutral Tone.
“What?” Elizabeth was surprised. “Are you Alicia personal knight? Impossible mother didn’t agree for her to have her own personal knights.
*I’m afraid if it’s true princess Elizabeth, William interjected.
Elizabeth looked at William with surprise.
“I was there as a witness when sir Leon gave his oath to Alicia,”William said.
Elizabeth was looking at me with unbelieving eyes.
“Now that I am by my PRINCESS’S side, no harm can come to her I will punish anyone who tries to harm he,* Leon said, I expect you won’t Interfere with me Sir Bradford.
Elizabeth looked at her knight. She can’t just let Alicia slide out of this so easily.
“I won’t Interfere sir leon, you have My word’s as a knight, Bradford said.
Disbelief was written all over Elizabeth’s face, she clenched her fists hard.
Leon pulled out his sword from it’s sheath and pointed at james. Young lord James Franklin Carlson. I challenge you to a duel.
“Hahahaha, you challenge me in a duel? Fine then. Somebody get my sword.” James yelled proudly.
