Chapter Three
" How is the girl? ", Princess Sabrina asked immediately she met Nina at the front of the door of the palace clinic.
" My lady, madam Nazar is tending to her wounds already", Nina replied, blatant worry etched on her face.
The poor girl was assaulted badly, who would not feel for her?
" Let's not distrupt Nazar, we will come back later in the day ",
" Okay my lady ", Nina nodded ,
" Oh that reminds me Nina, I want you to go inform the palace head maid to come see me, Tell her the princess has something important to discuss with her ",
" Okay my lady ", Nina said with a bow, and as she was about to walk away the princess stopped her.
" And also,you should get me some fruits on your way back ", she ordered.
Nina nodded and asked," just as you like it? "
" Yes , just how I love it ", she said .
Nina bowed for the last time before dashing out to fulfill her princess's order.
Knowing she has nothing urgent to tend to the except for the scrolls her father ordered her to attend to. And they all aren't urgent.
She took her time in walking down to her chambers.
Normally as she is a princess, her walk is always poise and in a regal style with her head held up high .
Her enchanting beauty not excluded, she is just so much perfect for being a princess.
As she walked slowly but regally down to her chambers, she made use of the opportunity to look round the palace , taking in everything.
Palace maids and guards making an abrupt stop as they sight her, acknowledging her with a respectful bow.
She will simply nod her head or wave her hand in response to their act.
As she entered through into the main royal family building where her room is, she saw a gallant figure coming towards the same direction as hers.
General jade? What is he doing there?
She slowed down her steps, making him to catch up to her .
" Your highness", he greeted with a bow, dressed in his usual black attire, with his swords tucked by his side.
" General jade", she said eyeing his appearance.
Clad in black pant and upper robe, all black. He looks like someone on a mission, with his sword fixed tightly at his left side.
His face giving out not a single expression, stoic and blank.
" What are you doing here? ",. She asked and for the first time of her being the princess Sabrina Of BADRITH. She felt someone not getting scared of her .
He looked straight back into her eyes and replied
" The king sent for me , princess"
Not once did he lower his gaze, making her to get more amused. Such huge nerves.
He intrigues her.
" I will love to congratulate and acknowledge your victory personally, mind for a cup of tea tomorrow evening? ", She said , making sure that tone of superiority and authority was laced to her tone.
She won't want him having another thoughts.
" I will love to honour your request princess, but a royal General doesn't have such a time to squander",
It felt like a slap on her face but she didn't show how embarrassed she is. He is really interesting, turning down a princess request, especially Princess Sabrina.
Considering a time with her a squander? Such gut.
" It isn't a request General, it is an order", She spoke this time with more authority and finality.
" You may go see my Father ", she said dismissively walking away to her chambers.
General Jade
Such mysterious and strange man, for some odd reason she felt something off about him. His eyes,they doesn't hold a single emotions.
It look so cold, dead…. lifeless.
Apart from being extraordinarily good-looking, he has this kind of savage look.
He looks brutal.
That tells why he win in every war he led.
How he got into the palace and be such a special person to the king also intrigued her.
The king, her father is someone who doesn't trust easily.
As she walked slowly towards the hallway leading to her quarters, a small petite maid scrambled to her front. Her head bowed.
" Afternoon Her highness", she greeted.
" Afternoon, ", she responded recognizing the girl as Sally, her father's mistress hand maid..
" His Majesty, the king seeks for your presence at the palace court now ",
Her father seeks for her? Why?
For Sally to be the one to deliver his message, that meant his mistress, Lady Ashley, was there with him.
" You are dismissed ", she ordered, not sparing her s glance.
" Yes your highness ", Sally bowed lastly then scampered out of her sight immediately.
Abruptly, she changed her direction, walking regally down to the palace courtroom.
Why would the king send for her?
He probably wants to give her more scrolls to interpret.
She sighed, all for being a princess in a powerful kingdom.
It comes with a lot responsibilities and duties.
A lot
