CHAPTER ONE
PRINCESS SABRINA OF BADRITH KINGDOM
Twenty years later.
" All hail King Judrith,,all hail kingdom Badrith. Long life the king, long life the Princess, long life kingdom Badrith",
He smiled happily " Thank you,o people of Badrith. It is a very big honour and victory for the whole kingdom today and I know that our victory has just started. Long life kingdom Badrith",.
" Long life the king, long life the Princess, long life Kingdom Badrith",
" Let the festive begin, I hope everyone will enjoy to the fullest today", the king laughed together with his subjects, while the ceremony started in full spring.
Indeed it is a big day for kingdom Badrith,for they have come home with victory and defeated their enemy.
As the ceremony was already in full spring and everyone was deep into it, no one noticed a very important person was missing.
" My lady, what if his Majesty finds out? You know he hates it if you are not present in important gatherings", Nina said worriedly.
There she is, the great princess Sabrina of kingdom Badrith, she is known for her beauty and kindness.
Her smile could light up the whole world.
Princess Sabrina smiled beautifully," Don't worry Nina , Father won't find out about it",
Nina was still worried nonetheless " but…."
" Hushhs..", Princess Sabrina shushed her placing her finger on her lips.
" When do you start nagging me like my father? ", She pouted .
Nina sighed," it isn't like that my lady , I am just worried about you. I don't want his Majesty to get mad at you",
Princess Sabrina smiled " I will be fine, with you beside me ",
Nina couldn't help but smile at her words, her lady is just the best.
Never for once that she started working with her has she ever made her feel less, she treats her like a sister.
Every single person in the palace knows not to bother the princess hand maid, it means getting on her bad side.
This makes most servants as her to be envious of her.
" Let's go , I have something to show you ", princess Sabrina urged.
As they walk head to head towards her chambers, their attention was caught by group of maids who was murmuring amidst One another.
They were gisting about a particular General jade, he is known for his accomplishment and also popular among the maids due to his beauty.
Never for once has Badrith lose to any kingdom since he started going to war for them.
He gained the king's favour and definitely one of his best and favourite subject.
Princess Sabrina stopped to review the moment, " what is happening there? ", She asked , her tone not hard but you won't dare disobey the tone.
They all composed themselves, bowing their head .
" Good evening her Highness", they greeterd
" Don't idle around, get back to your work ",.she ordered.
" Yes your highness ", they bowed and disappeared our of sight immediately.
Nina chuckled, " They are talking about General jade,"
Princess Sabrina smiled", I know, that man really did a great job gaining everyone's love ".
" You are the most loved my lady ", Nina said and she laughed.
" Oh my Nina, what could have I done without you? ", She joked and they both laughed.
Chatting and laughing as they walk to her quarters.
Just as they turned to the corridor leading to her chambers, Princess Sabrina bumped into someone. Hitting her head in the process.
Oh geez, was that a rock or what?
" Aishh …", she shrieked in pain, Nina held her from falling.
" My lady", she shrieked in shock "Are you okay my lady?",
" Hey you , watch where you are going!", Nina snapped angrily at the man.
So it wasn't the wall, it is a person?
But how come the person is as hard as rock.
She rubbed her forehead soothingly, raising her gaze up.
She was surprised with whom she saw, it was the first time she will be seeing a pair of eyes as blue as that.
It felt almost unreal.
" Forgive my manners my lady, ",he apologized inclining his head slightly.
Nina scoffed
"you almost knocked out my lady"
Princess Sabrina gulped,
"it's okay Nina,.I'll take care of it",
"General jade, right?", She asked and he nodded with a bow.
" Yes my lady"
She sighed, indeed he is a beautiful being.
" Were you not looking as you walk? " She said, her voice coming out soft to her own suprise.
" I'm sorry my lady, but none of us is at fault. We clearly were just walking", he said calmly taking them by suprise .
Nina scoffed "Are you blaming the princess for your mistake? How dare you!",
Princess Sabrina was surprised, this is the first time someone will stand up to her like that apart from Nina.
He is really interesting.
"It is okay Nina, ", princess Sabrina ordered.
" Are you saying I am at fault as well?",
" I won't dare your highness"
Princess Sabrina sighed
" It is fine, be careful next time", she said and moved away to leave.
" And ohh…. ", She stopped on her track and faced him.
" Congratulations on your victory General jade ",she said with a smile and without waiting for his response she took to the corner and off she went to her quarters together with Nina.
<<<<<<<<<<
" How can he be so arrogant? I can't hear believe he almost knocked my lady out and yet he dared to blame you for it? Who does he think he is? He thinks because he is His Majesty right-hand man makes him all mighty? What a joke! Tch", Nina blabbed endlessly, obviously she is pissed off by him behaviour earlier.
No one dare disobeys her lady.
Princess Sabrina sighed," Nina, it's okay. I'm completely fine ,you see. Don't make a big deal out of it . I'm totally fine."
" But my lady, what if you get hurt? I definitely will make sure...…. ", The princess loud amused laugh cut her short.
" Nina….", She laughed heartily, holding her hand.
"What is so funny my lady? ", She pouted.
She responded after keeping her hearty laugh at bay," I said I am fine, don't get all worked up. "
Nina gulped,
" I'm just worried about you my Lady"
The princess smiled," I know that, don't worry. Thank you Nina ",
She was a bit taken aback," for what my lady?", She asked genuinely lost.
" For looking out for me. Thank you"
She chuckled," it is my duty to make sure my Lady is safe, I am just doing my job. I am the thankful one here, Thank you for treating me well all this years. Never for once have you made me feel less of myself, I am grateful my lady"
Princess Sabrina smiled,
"oh Nina, you are my girl. You definitely should not feel intimidated by my status.",
"You are really a good person my Lady"
"And you are a great person as well Nina, you deserve all good things in this life "
Nina could not help but tear up . Being a slave isn't something so easy here in Kingdom Badrith, especially if you were a captured slave from Zandia. Things will be unbearable for you, but princess Sabrina has made everything easy for her. She is just too lucky.
" Why don't we go to the palace library, I have to check for some books", princess Sabrina said .
Nina nodded and responded politely,
"Okay my lady"
