Chapter 011

Eira's POV “ How am I going to explain myself now?” I mumbled. “ I'm sorry, Your Highness but I can't help you with this. I'll be sitting in the arena watching you, just try not to die on me,” Mona bowed before leaving I and Sir Kia on the training ground. “ Do you have an issue keeping up with time, Princess Cleo?” He growled. “ I…,” telling him I slept in due to my forgetfulness would only make things worse. “ You have training with me today but you decided to take your good time to arrive. Do you really think I have nothing better to do?” He asked rhetorically. “ I-its not that. I just totally forgot that I had training with you today,” I mumbled the last part. “ If I drag this out for too long, I might eventually speak out of line,” he inhaled to calm himself. At least, he didn't make me serve any punishment. “ Get on the ground and give me fifty,” he ordered. “ W-what? ” I stuttered. He didn't mean what I think he said - just when I was

Chapter 012

Eira's POV As much as I had been anticipating lunch due to all the training I had gone through this morning, what I wasn't expecting was having these two at the table. “ It's like you don't age, Your Majesty. Tell me your secret,” Anakin rested his chin on his interlocked fingers. I was yet to understand why my parents seemed more like Sir Kia and Sir Anakin's uncle and aunty rather than some royal figures. Leaving that aside, why was I made to sit between them? It felt like every essence of this pair of best friends haunted my very existence. This was awkward. “ Anakin, are you trying to flirt with my wife?” Dad questioned with a chuckle. “ Certainly not, Your Majesty,” Anakin laughed. “ It's just us now, Anakin. You and Kia can talk casually,” dad shrugged. “ Yes, I prefer that. Don't you think so too, Kia?” Mom smiled. Was I the only person here who had no clue what was going on? “ If you say so, uncle,” Anakin addressed dad. “ Since when

Chapter 013

Eira's POV Their conversation went on. I was barely interested anymore after Kia’s words. “ You'll be moving in today, right?” Mom asked Kia. “ Yes. Since I'm to protect Princess Cleo, it would be best to move on here,” he answered with a small nod. “ I'm moving in too with him,” Anakin beamed, once again finding a way to latch on. “ Are you sure about that? You're not even training Cleo,” dad was a bit concerned. “ Don't overthink it, uncle. It's not a bother at all and besides, I've decided to train Princess Cleo on a certain area,” his gaze moved from my dad to me. My normal self would have shoved his face aside but I barely even had appetite to eat, talk more of dealing with Anakin. “ If you say so,” dad agreed. “ Why aren't you eating? You've been picking at your food for a while now,” Anakin was always the first to notice minor things like this. “ Didn't I tell you to go to the Royal infirmary? Why are you so stubborn? I don't really care

Chapter 014

Eira's POV Mom walked in after knocking, her face though wearing a calm expression seemed worried. Did she notice my attitude in the dining room? “ Mom? Do you need me for anything?” I asked, getting up to my feet. Mona on the other hand was already on her feet with her head bowed. “ No…actually yes,” she tilted her head as if she wasn't sure how to put it. “ What is it?” I asked curiously. “ Oh, it's nothing major. I just want us to have tea together in one of the gazebos in the garden,” she offered. “ Sure, I'd love to,” I beamed. My parents were always busy though they made sure to have time for me but I had a feeling it was going to be a little more than that which made me kind of nervous. “ I'll take my leave then, Your Majesty,” Mona genuflected before attempting to move. “ Ahh, there's no need for that. We'll be having tea outside so you can stay if you want,” mom stopped her. “ But, Y-Your Majesty, this is Her Highness’ room. I shouldn't

Chapter 015

Eira's POV “ What? Girl talk??” I blinked rapidly in shock. “ Are you that surprised by what I said?” Mom giggled. “ But you're joking right?” I still doubted. “ Why would I? If we hadn't lost you for so long, then you'd have been used to this by now because that's one thing I've always wanted to do with you,” she rubbed her thumb against the tea cup. Her words made me wonder how hurt she must have been when she lost me. “ Now you have me with you,” I placed a hand over hers, smiling broadly at her. “ So what exactly is the center of this girl's talk?” I questioned. “ You're in love with Kia, aren't you?” Mom hit the nail on the head. Mona nearly choked on her tea while I found myself turning super red. “ Both your reactions say a lot, you know.” “ W-what g-gave you that idea?” I stuttered, still flustered by her question. My heart raced faster and faster for no reason. “ Hmm, so you don't love him?” Mom asked casually. “ No, I don't,”

Chapter 016

Eira's POV After our talk with my mom, I and Mona headed back inside. Maybe I should really consider taking Mom's advice. “ Mom may be right, maybe I should take the first step,” I said to Mona who walked behind me. “ I'll do my best to support you but just try not to be too forward about it,” Mona advised. “ Even if I wanted to be forward about it, I don't think I can drop my pride to throw myself at him like that,” I sighed. I wasn't crazy enough to do something so embarrassing as throwing myself at him. “ Heyyy! Princess Cleo, you left so suddenly. Are you feeling better?” Anakin popped out of one of the rooms as I walked through the hallway. “ I never said I was feeling terrible to begin with,” I frowned. “ A thank you for asking would have sufficed though,” he winked. “ Ahem… There's something I wanted to ask you,” I cleared my throat. “ Hmm, this is new. It seemed like you weren't fond of me for quite a while,” he picked his ears nonchalant

Chapter 017

Eira's POV The moon shone down on the palace, giving it an otherworldly radiance which made everything familiar appear strange and enticing at the same time. I looked sideways at Mona whose eyes gleamed with excitement mixed with uncertainty as she was already half way out of the door. I never one day thought I'd be sneaking out…it felt criminal. “ I have no idea why my heart keeps pounding,” I sighed. “ Then we can just decide not to go,” I knew Mona wanted this outcome more than anyone else. “ No! I can't just stand Anakin up,” I said in a hushed tone. “ I'd actually love to see the look on his face if that happened,” she really didn't get along with him.We silently moved through the deserted corridors of the palace covered in thick carpets that muted our footsteps. The air remained still and silent except for the breeze that let themselves in, every now and then. As we drew near, a figure became visible in the darkness. “ Sir Anakin?” I calle

Chapter 018

Eira's POV Three months later Months had passed by since I began training with Kia and Anakin. I honestly was out doing myself, who knew I'd have a talent in fighting? “ Are you ready for today? You do know that today is D-Day,” Mona said walking behind me as we headed towards the training ground. “ Honestly, I'm freaking out inside and your question isn't exactly helping to calm me down,” I said, taking a deep breath. “ I know I'm not helping right now but you've really improved. With your current ability, you're definitely a lot stronger than the lower ranking knights. Your current strength is on par with Class III knights which rather impressive. No one shots up the ranks this easily,” she analyzed. She certainly knew a lot about knights. “ I doubt my skills are up that level though,” I sighed, depressed. “ Do you think you'd be able to win?” Mona kept bombarding me with questions. “ Take a good look at me and ask me that question again,” I squ

Chapter 019

Eira's POV I ended up wearing something casual, well at least that's what the other maids and Mona claimed. This was anything but casual. They had picked out a matching pair of a cross-button shirt and a slim fitting trouser. The cross-button shirt came with a cape and badges of all kinds, it was also laced with gold chains hanging from it's breast pocket. I wore a white glove to match my seemingly casual look. “ When you said casual, this wasn't what I had in mind,” I whispered to Mona as we headed outside. “ You said you wanted casual, not something cheap,” she answered. “ Besides, how in the world did you convince yourself that you were going to find cheap clothes in your wardrobe? Have you forgotten that you're supposed to be the princess?” Mona nagged. “ Maybe I should just get that then while I'm in the market. Cheap clothes are perfect for outings,” I stated, living a low profile life once in a while wouldn't be that bad. “ Don't think of doing an

Chapter 020

Eira's POV We walked into the main streets and at least I and Kia were finally paired up. Mona and Anakin walked behind us arguing all the way. “ Is there any place in particular you'd like to go to, Your Highness?” Kia asked. Why was he still addressing me formally? “ Erm…” “ What am I saying? I doubt you know anywhere. Aren't you always in the palace?” He asked rhetorically, not once making eye contact with me. “ You don't really have to put it that way,” I sighed. Besides, he was one to talk like he wasn't from a similar family background with me. “ If you see anything that you like as we're walking, you can tell me so we'll get it for you,” he informed. I thought after winning him in today's sparring session that he'd treat me more like a friend or at least treat me like he would treat his fellow knights but here he is treating me like something fragile and naive. I hated it. “ Can I do that as well? I know a lot of great places we can buy thi
