THE WOLF PRINCESS

Esther's Strength

I woke up early. Since that day happened, I never stopped smiling. I couldn’t believe that I could change my form now. I couldn’t wait to master it and to be able to fight in my form.

“Good morning princess. It seems you’re so happy this morning, huh see that beautiful smile on your face?” Lady Malia said while she gave me her smile.

I arrange my hair behind my ears. “I am just happy. I almost thought everything that is a dream.”

“A beautiful dream.”

“But it is More than that.”

As I said those words, I looked around. Are my parents not here? Lady Malia noticed me, looking for my parents.

“They are not here. But there was someone waiting for you in the living room,” she said without me asking about it.

I frowned and looked at her. “Do I have a visitor?”

Who is the person waiting for me in the living room? Do I know them?

“Tony, your trainer has been waiting for you since 7 in the morning.”

I looked at the clock. “He waited for me for almost an hour? Why did he come here?” Since yesterday, I haven't seen him. My father said he was my personal trainer, but we never had an interaction since my birthday ended.

“He said, your training would start today.”

“Did mom know this?”

“Yes. Before they left the palace for business, they talked to Tony.”

I didn’t say a word. It was early in the morning to start training. But there was nothing wrong. Since my parents told me before about the training. And I was determined to do what my father said. I believe I need this training in order for me to not be called weak, and people like Liam won’t look down at me.

I excused myself as I went down the stairs to meet my trainer. I didn’t personally know Tony, but I wanted to know him more. He would be with me for at least more than a month, for my training period. So, it was better to know him better. I wanted him to be my friend, since his father and my father, the King were friends.

I arranged myself when I saw his back. His aura was strong, I felt it even his back was turned on me. I cleared my throat as I walked towards him. It seemed he noticed that I was about to be with him. He slowly looked at me. I saw his strong eyes again. He didn't smile even though I smailed. He looks more intimidating more than yesterday.

Before I said my words, he looked at his watch. “You arrived late this morning.” He sounded like a terror teacher.

“I didn’t know you were coming here. I thought my training would start next month,” I reasoned with a low voice.

“Okay.”

He looked serious, I hope I could get along with him. I felt nervous for my training. I walked closer to him, as he stood up. He was tall, so I needed to look up to see his face. His dead serious eyes penetrated my soul.

“Should we start now?”

“Did you eat your breakfast?”

I shook my head. “I just woke up, and Lady Malia told me that you waited for me since 7 in the morning.”

“Not that early. I came here for the ancient king, not for you.”

I didn’t say a word. I just looked at him. I didn’t get his attitude.

“Eat your breakfast first. You looked weak. You might be tired, even though we haven’t started the training.” He didn’t even wait for me to talk. He just walked away and didn’t even look at me.

“Did I look weak?” Why do those men think that I was weak? They always looked down at me. Just because I was a woman?

I rolled my eyes and got back to Lady Malia. I wanted to eat more, just to prove to him that I was not weak. He would regret telling me those words.

That bastard!

When I went to the kitchen, I saw Lady Malia putting food on our table. My parents were not here, so I must be the only ones who would eat those delicious foods.

“I felt even hungry. Was that stake?” I asked Lady Malia, while my eyes were on those foods.

“Yes.” Happily, she answered me.

I sat down, while I held my tummy. I felt the hunger even more.

I was about to pick the steak, then someone tapped my hand. Because of what someone did, I dropped the food back onto its plate. With my eyebrow raised, I looked at that someone. I saw Tony.

“What did you do?” I asked him with the visible irritation in my voice.

“That was not good for you. You need to eat vegetables. Obviously… you looked malnourished.”

I looked at my body type. Was there a problem with my body?

“Lady, please bring more vegetables. Since today, until the training ended. She needs more nutrition,” Tony said to Lady Malia.

“I will prepare it now.”

My eyes were focused on the stake that Lady Malia took. I wanted to eat that.

“Was this part of the training or you wanted to torture me?”

“If you felt this was a torture. You gave me the idea of how weak you are, princess.” There was a tease on his words. And then he gave me his smile, but his eyes shows that he wanted to torture me.

My training had not even started, but I felt that this man wanted to kill me. Maybe this was not a good idea. I thought he was nice, like how he showed me at my birthday party. But I was wrong. My life would be in danger, because of the man.
