1158 Words
The sun has already come out and it's time to wake up my beautiful Meme.
"Meme, Meme," I called the sleepy-headed princess, but she ignored me. "Memeeeeeee," I shouted, and finally, Meme moaned. "Good morning Meme Tiny," I happily said.
"Mhhmm!" she exclaimed and opened her eyes. She closed her eyes again and took a long breath, "Mhhmm!" She opened her eyes again. "Good morning too, my Minnie," she said and got up. She stretched her arms and yawned.
"Meme, I want to get out. Please, "I told her and she smiled.
"No," she replied. I thought she was going to let me out. I was too bored to look at the whole room for the night.
"Joke!" She laughed. "Hahahaha, you may get out now."
I happily jumped out of her chest and got my small body. "Thanks Meme," I said and giggled. "Hehe!"
"You're welcome, my little Minnie," she replied and stood up. "I know that you are bored for the whole night because you can not move nor talk." She wears her white royal dress and cloak. "Come," she said and started to walk out of the room.
"Are we going to train the new trainees today?" I asked while following her.
"Yes, but for now, let's eat breakfast first," she said, and we went directly toward the dining room.
We are in Tiny's Mansion at the warriors' camp here inside the Kingdom of Minime. This is just beside the gate and great wall of the Minime Kingdom. We were supposed to live in the General's house here, but King July and Queen Mary didn't allow us to live in just a small house. So, they specially made a mansion for us here.
Meme has been fighting for the fair treatment of men and women across the Kingdom since she was young. Later on, her father let her study in school with the other princesses. Yet, only the women of the royal family were given the chance to study in schools and martial arts. Meme was still trying to do something about it until now.
At the age of 16, I woke up and helped Meme to make our father, King July, give us an army. We did everything and after a year, father finally granted our wishes. On our 17th birthday, my father announced that Meme was already a Second Defense General. Then, his gift to us was the Tiny's Mansion here in the warrior camp.
However, people believe that we only became an army general because we are a princess. They don't believe that we are capable enough of fighting and protecting the Minime Kingdom. Also, other women are still not allowed to study at any school. They are only taught by their parents how to do household chores, how to provide for their needs and support their husbands someday.
"Hey, Minnie?" my Meme called.
"Mhhmm, what?" I asked.
"I'm done eating," she replied. "You often stagger. What's the problem? Are you in love?" she seriously asked and I laughed.
"Hahahaha, I'm sorry," I replied. "I'm not in love, Meme. I'm just thinking of something," I replied.
"What is it?" she curiously asked and drank some water.
"It's not important, Meme," I replied and smiled. "Shall we go out now?" I asked.
Meme stood up, "Let's go." She immediately made her way out of the mansion and I followed her.
You may wonder how loud my voice is. Of course, my voice was as cute as I am. Well, no matter how small the voice of a Minnie is, their Meme can clearly hear it. No matter how far Minnie and Meme are from each other, they can still talk. It's because of the connection or their bond with each other.
We are now in a field where warriors are training themselves to become physically stronger and experts at using spears, swords, crossbows, darts and other weapons.
"Your highness," the two roaming guards put their right hand on their chest and bowed in front of us.
We just passed by them and watched the trainees that were training themselves to use swords.
"Your Highness," the teacher of the new trainees said and bowed to us. He is Bryce, a Captain, the next position after a General of an army.
"Rise," Meme said, and Bryce raised his head. "Are they the newest trainees?" Meme asked.
"Yes, your highness. They just came in yesterday," he replied.
The trainees must study under a teacher or a high-ranking warrior for 3 months. After 3 months, they will undergo a physical and mental test. They will be given a position and task as a warrior if they pass the test, but there are some that were rejected too.
Then, those who passed will be recognized as true warriors of the Minime Kingdom. Some of them became guards of the palace, defense or offense warriors, while some became a group of warriors tasked with catching bandits and criminals inside the kingdom. Some also became an army under the ministers, which is tasked with protecting the city.
"Attention," Bryce shouted, and all of the trainees stopped what they were doing. "Meet Princess Tiny, the Second General of the defense warriors," Bryce said. Well, not everyone in the Kingdom can recognize our faces because the Royal Princesses rarely go out.
The trainees immediately faced us and put their hands on their chest. They bowed down.
I was about to walk toward the new warriors when Meme called me in her mind. "Oh, no!" I exclaimed and my physical body slowly disappeared. I went back to Meme's chest, inside her where no one could see or hear me except her.
"Rise," Meme said, and everyone immediately raised their heads and stood up straight. "Put down your swords," Meme commanded, and they all put down their swords on the ground, except one boy.
This boy looks handsome, but he seems like an inattentive student. He was staring at Meme. He seems to be mesmerized by the beauty of the princess.
Meme looked at him seriously.
"Greg," Captain Bryce called him.
The boy came back to reality. He immediately panicked and put his sword on the ground.
"Come," Meme called him, and he hastily came forward.
"Haha, you're dead now," I said, but Meme ignored me. Tsss!
He looked so serious and attentive now. He doesn't look scared of my Meme.
Meme tried to kick his tummy, but the boy successfully escaped from it. Wow, I didn't expect that he could get away from that sudden kick. Meme lifted her left eyebrow and attacked the boy again and again, but she could not hit him.
"Meme, enough," I told her when I felt that she was irritated.
"Good job. I like how fast you moved," Meme said, and the boy, Greg, immediately gave her a sweet smile.
"Thanks, your highness," Greg replied and bowed down.
Yet, Meme just distracted him and kicked his a*s.
