I'm not used to stepping slowly like a princess from a fairy tale country. Even if the princesses of the fairyland were to run, they would not be as broken as I am now. With big strides I ran towards the training ground arena, the place where all the knights gathered.
The beautiful dress that I was wearing I purposely hugged the tip so as not to trouble me while running, to make Qirca look angry. I don't know why I feel like these hallways are so big that my heart beats so fast.
"Daughter! tidy yourself up before stepping into the training ground of the knights!" hadang Qirca
"All right.. I already!" I said lower the end of the dress I was holding
"Daughter!!!" unluckiness
"It's the first time for a princess to this place isn't it? At least you have to look neat and elegant like a princess.." Deti advice tidied up my dress and hair are disheveled.
"Should it?"
"At least so that your dignity as a princess is not tarnished!" deti said with a friendly smile
"Hehh... If only I were evil, I would have reported to Madame Dara about it just now..."
"But Qirca is good." I said with a cute face.
"..." Qirca's face flushed red, probably from looking at my timidity
After Deti finished tidying myself up with some other ladies. Qirca who was still flushed stepped first to open the door that was large enough to require the energy of 2 women. When the door opened, I almost gaped wide to see the vastness of the training arena that was now filled with knights who were ready to plunge into the battlefield.
I saw in front of the rows of soldiers in full uniform, the flat and cold face of the Grand Duke staring at me. Although a bit clumsy I forced a smile as smooth as possible and strangely why the line became chaotic for a while. The moment they got my gaze, they all fell silent like a professional.
But when I gave them a smile they all looked wrong, especially the soldiers in the front row. Maybe they were captivated by my unbeatable beauty in the empire, because I was only one.
"Your majesty, why did you come here?"
"Mr Duke, I heard that if you were to leave today would that be true?" I looked up a little because the Grand Duke's body was very high
"Right, your majesty, you don't have to worry." the grand Duke kneeled down in the realization that it had made me look up.
"Sorry your honor..."
"Takkk." I took off my mother's necklace (more precisely the mother of Nyura's daughter)
"Daughter!!!" surprised the grand Duke, because he knew what the function of the necklace that was always coiled around my neck was
"Uncle must promise me, to return this necklace flawlessly after finishing the war!" I said tie my necklace to her wrist
The Grand Duke was bowed down as well as me who was embarrassed from crying without any wind and there was rain. I was so embarrassed that I decided to run away from the training ground, which was immediately accompanied by my ladies.
"I'm ashamed..." My whine hugged one of the ladies
"It's okay princess, crying is a natural thing to let go of our loved ones..."
"I'm not crying." I somehow feel like a kid.
"Yes yes yes.you don't cry but..."
"Qirca stop your mockery!!!" I yelled annoyed at him
"Now our princess is spoiled, all this because you have always spoiled her." Qirca told Deti.
"Let the princess be a child, a child if pampered it is still natural..."
"Deti! I've grown up, soon I'll catch up with your height.." I'm annoyed to go.
They all laughed at my words just now, even though this body was small, but actually the soul in this body was older than those who were only a dozen years old. But just now at the training ground was really embarrassing, how could I yell spoiled and cry like that, it felt like my cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.
But no matter, they will all still think of me as a child because they have not done the ceremony of maturity. Just wait until a few more days I will become an adult according to the rules in this empire. After I am declared an adult later I will make them even more amazed by my true figure, just wait until that day arrives.
