Love of lifetimes

Chapter 4

What a lovely morning! , I chirped as my attendants were preparing me for the breakfast with my royal parents.

Leaving my chambers and walking through the hallway, I started to study the familiar paintings that seem to be telling its part of story of the empire's history. Although the paintings and wall carvings starts from the hallway outside the throne room, this hallway I am passing through to the royal dining room depicts a man, dangerously beautiful and serene, blowing a flute and the most prominent of his features is a pair of pointy ears with crowds below him with the same features 'pointy ears', bowing in reverence.

Enough of that!, Entering the royal dining room I excitedly paid my respects ' Good morning royal father and mother, I hope your night went well.' Father was quick to reply while mother wore her usual Noble smile. Guess I won't be able to eat well because of my excitement.

As soon as my royal parents left, I immediately got up to leave only to hear......' oi, dear princess why are you in an hurry to leave, won't you keep me company?', honestly I can't help cursing because I had forgotten about that annoying old fart of a man. I wonder which subordinate dares tell his future boss to keep him company, old fart, don't you have job to keep you buy?

I wonder how your noble mother will act if she hears about your manner of speaking?, she would be like ' Princess Amariel, how could you speak like a vulgar country side lady. You know you aren't just a lady, YOU are of the Noblest blood, how can you address people with that tone.', that old fart continued his ramblings.

I guess he is correct about that. I replied him saying' And I guess she would have your head to ask a royal to keep you company, guess that's the end of this empire's prime Minister tenure in office '. I didn't wait any longer as I fled.

Panting as I reached my chambers with my attendants trailing after me, I saw the cold regal boy, sorry my guardian knight who's blessed with silver hair waiting at the entrance of my drawing room for me. He bowed and saluted to me not saying anything else but thinking he had acknowledged me.

Seeing him like that I smirked thinking of how I would tame him to my standards.

'Rise!', I told him. We both entered the drawing room while I settled for a sofa to sit in, practically "sink in". I also told him to have his seat. I started thinking of what to begin our conversation with, in the end I said......

"Introduce yourself". Your highness, I am Erick Laguire De Lance, I am 21 years old and from the Eastern part of the empire. I look forward to being your guardian knight and I swear that as long as you are still my master, I will protect you, be faithful and be someone you can rely on.

Although he didn't provide a lot of information about himself, his words are quite sincere and I can't see an iota of any other apart from sincerity and steadiness.

Since you said so Erick, I trust you but 'are you ready?, to embark on a life journey with me. I replied but sadly he didn't give me an answer.
