When that nobleman held the sword near my neck,I lost my patience.i held the sword's sharp edge with my hand and turned it..
It broke and came off...It must of been a well forged sword..It broke so easily for me ofcourse..I doubt normal people can break swords like that.
Now I looked at my hands.it was all bloody.
My hands started shaking and my head paining.. Everyone looked at me.i hid my face to try hiding my eyes..I searched for jeons ,he was nowhere to be found..then this man next to the nobleman came to me and brought me somewhere alone..he tried to have a close look on my eyes but I didn't want to show it.then he tried to take my jacket off but that time jeons came and gave me a chocolate..I ate it.. jeons whispered to me..
"Thank Goodness,your majesty no one saw your red eyes"
Then the man next to me asked
"Do you have blood moon eyes".
Jeons and I stood there shocked not knowing what to say.
I replied "yes,I do have but don't tell anyone,they might think we're spying here,afterall we don't belong here".
He asked where we're from and our names.
I hesitated first but I can't ignore the question.
"We 're from the Thrombia Empire and that's jeons and I am...."
Well I can't tell him my real name but then I need a name I can easily respond to.
"I am Leona, and jeons and I came here for the reason that the emperor has ordered a visit..we thought it was not a problem to go and visit some places in the village for some time".
"When are you leaving ?"
"Probably,after we have a talk with the emperor"..
"Did the princess of the kingdom come?".
"No,she was not of good health so,she told us,knights to go".
"So, You both are knights?"
"Yes,and we are going to leave now.By the way what should we call you"
"Stay,call me stay"
"Alright we are leaving"
And like that we walked as fast as possible.
It was one huge disastrous outing.he looked like a noble too.he might tell on us about my eyes to the emperor and he'll know we are misusing the visit grant..
We reached the carriage and were about to leave but then the man named stay was standing beside our carriage..
I knew he was of good family but I didn't expect him to directly be close to the emperor.
He stood there watching our every move.
I went to him and asked .
"Are you going to escort us"
"Umm,yes" he said with a uncertainty in his face".
He sat near the seat in our carriage.he told us he was a knight too.then we went on talking about the kingdom.honestly,i liked it.
It was somewhat a timepass for me.
Suddenly,our carriage stopped,all the knights gathered.i went out to see what happened.
AN AMBUSH!!..
I got to the main carriage and the moment I took my sword,my eye had the stare of death.
We were attacked by Hanus and I killed them one by one and everytime I did that, my eyes shined brighter and widened.
I killed every Hanus left in the way and again jeons came to me and gave me a small chocolate.i ate it and got my consciousness back..I can clearly see that the escorting knights are staring deep into my soul..
Maybe,they were mesmerized by my beauty and strength..
Stay came and guided us back to the carriage and off we went..
We Reached our Kingdom and I was telling Stay about the stories of our Kingdom.. Though I have no interest in telling stories but since he insisted...
We reached my elegant palace and just so i thought Stay and the other knights were to leave..now they wanted to visit the princess.
It was an order from the emperor that the knights had to have a talk with the princess..
Now they know how Leona looks like and they'll know that I am the princess which I didn't want...so I had to wear something that hides me face...
I told my head maid to prepare one...
I wore it and walked to the meeting hall..
I had to speak in a deep voice so that they won't recognise Leona's voice.
"His highness,wants to trade a Hanus gemstone" one of the knights announced.
"Ohh,in return?"
"1 million bertz"
That's one tempting offer...
"His highness,wants another trade"
"What is it and what are its prices"
"His highness,wants one girl named Leona to live in the nearby village of our Kingdom for 2million bertz in total"
Oh no,this is a huge disaster..If I am to live there who would stay here?
But I can't just let them know Leona was the princess... Maybe I should tell, so the problem can be resolved..
But 2 million bertz....I can earn it anytime later.
Then jeons came and whispered
"Your majesty, what if we keep your Identity a secret and keep you there as well as here"
"How?!"
"I have an idea,Your majesty, just trust"
"Fine, one gemstone and one girl "....
Later that evening....
I asked jeons why he had told me to that.
He,then brought Kio,my another loyal knight..
Kio had the power of teleportation..
I finally understood what jeona was planning.
So,it's like Kio opening portals for me to travel here and there..
But I told" I can't continue to go there and come here forever"..
"You just have to do this for a year and then leave,no one would even know you left,Your majesty "he said
It sounded good to me but one year, isn't it a lot..
"I know you can do this,Your majesty "
Money is important for this kingdom since managing the troops and the knights, maintenance of public welfare, everything needs money...and no money is enough..
The more you get,the more prosperous the empire gets..
So I just can't decline such offer.....
