Jealously
“All of you hurry up. Only ten days are left before the crowning. Oh no, no don’t put it there. That should be placed on that table.” She continued to ramble while pointing at different things.
“Calm down Jennet. They know how to do their work” I said to her.
“I know princess but there are only ten days left before your crowning and I don’t want anything to go wrong because of their or my mistake. After all, it is your day” She said while continue ordering the workers.
“But Jennet you should take rest. You are old and I don’t want you to tire yourself. You know, you are closest to the mother figure I have after my mother died ten years ago due to that disease and if you get sick, it will break my heart. Please take care of yourself for me” I said with all my heart.
“Oh princess I am honoured. That’s why I am doing this. If Her highness was alive, she must have done the same. Now please excuse me, princess. I should go and check the other things” She said and walked away. I sighed.
I think I should go and practice swordship.
“Liliac” I called my other trusted servant.
“Yes Your Highness”
“I am going to practice swordship. Prepare my clothes”
“Yes, Your Highness” With that she walked away. I sat down waiting for her.
After fifteen minutes she came back. She bowed and said,” Your Highness, your attire is ready. Please come” I got up and walked towards my dressing chamber, Liliac following me.
I changed and walked out of the dressing chamber.
There stood my most trusted and loyal person in the world, with green eyes and auburn hair, passing by maids commenting on his handsome face, my Royal Guard.
“Josh”
“Yes, your highness.”
He said while bowing his head.
“Let's go and practice swordship” I said and started walking towards the training grounds.
“Yes, Your highness,” he said following me.
At training ground
As we reached there, all soldiers stopped fighting, bowed down and spoke simultaneously,
“Your highness”
“Rise” I said.
“You all can continue”
As I said that, they went back to what they were doing. We walked towards the area reserved only for royals.
“Let's start Josh” I said while taking out my sword from its cover.
We started circling each other. He attacked first.
He ran towards me, swung his sword but I dodged him and tried to attack from the side but he stopped it by clashing our sword. We continued our fight.
We ended up in a compromising position with my sword on his neck, his hands on my wrist, blocking me and me straddling him.
“Well done my dear Nina, your fighting skills are unmatchable. I am so proud of you” I blushed at my fiancés' statement.
Beautiful blue eyes, blonde hairs and muscular figure. He is really dreamy.
I stood up from my position, dusted my outfit and ran towards him.
“Oh Henry, I missed you so much” I hugged him real tight and he twirled me.
“I missed you too my princess”
“But you were going to come tomorrow?” I asked with confusion.
“Aren’t you happy princess?? I came early for you” He asked with a tone I didn’t caught.
What I didn’t know was that it was his angry tone because he didn’t like my earlier position with Josh. He is jealous.
“No, no I am really happy Henry. I missed you sooo much” I said with all my heart.
“Let’s go my princess. I bought gifts for you from the Souliar Kingdom. Remember you asked me for a hairpin?” I squealed with happiness and he just chuckled.
“Really. Where is it??” I asked enthusiastically.
“It's in my room and I bought other things as well. Let’s go” He put his hands on my waist, leading me towards the entrance.
“Oh Henry, you always spoil me” Josh silently following us.
As we reached his chamber, Josh stopped outside the gate.
We walked towards the set of chairs. “Sit here princess” He sat me down on the chairs.
“Servants” He called and they walked in with the things he brought for me.
“Put them here and go back” They put the things, bowed and went back.
“Oh my god, there are so many things. Thank you so much”
“Oh, God. I love this man so much” I said. Then I realized something. My eyes went wide.
Fuck. “I said it out loud, didn’t I”
“Well you did princess” He said with a smug smile.
“So you love me, princess?” He asked with his face right in front of me. I blushed hard. I pushed him a bit and ran out of his chambers. As I got out, Josh asked,
“What happened Your Highness?? Why are you running?”
I straightened my posture and said, “Nothing happened Josh. Let's go. Father told me to come to him in the evening”
“Yes Your Highness” I went back to my chambers, quickly changed my clothes and went to my father's study room. Josh following me. He stopped outside the room.
“Long Live Your Highness” I bowed.
“Rise” He said
“What was it you wanted to talk about Your highness??”
“I am going to leave for the travelling after the day of your coronation”
“But Your Highness, it would have been great if you would be here to help me”
“You know Nina, it was your mother’s dream to travel different kingdoms. Besides, I am telling you my decision not asking you. Now you are excused.”
“Yes, Your Highness” I exited the room and walked back.
Why can’t he just wait for some days?. Well since it was my mother’s dream, I don’t have a say in it. I sighed.
“Is there a problem Your Highness? You just sighed.” Josh asked.
“Father is going to leave for travelling after the day of my coronation”
“Ohh” is all he said.
As I entered my room, I saw my little sister, sitting there looking through my gifts.
I mentally sighed. Now, what does this b***h wants?
