Chapter 21

We went to the garden, exactly at the gazebo. The silence was suffocating me, as Killian dragged the chair to make me sit.

He went to the opposite side of me and sat down, not talking. Just staring down. I gestured the servants to bring some snacks.

"Killian, don't let it get to you." I said and grasp his hand. His cheeks blushed a bit and he smiled.

"Thank you, Princess." He said, and he switched his hand, now his hand was grasping mine. I can feel warmth on my cheeks. My heart is beating fast, dammit.

"Are you okay, princess?" he asked, and I looked away. I took my hand away from him and touched my cheeks.

Why am I blushing hard? I slightly slapped my cheeks, so that Killian won't notice how reddish it is.

I was going to slap again, when Killian grabbed my hand and his other hand on my cheek.

"Stop slapping your cheek. It's starting to turn reddish than before." No, I think it's not from slapping, it's because of you dammit! You should know space!

Our face is like 3 inches apart, his sea blue eyes, is staring at my cheeks, his hand started to caress it.

A tingling sensation went down to my spine. With that , I pushed Killian back to his seat, "The snacks is here!"

I said, and the servants arrived exactly. I heard him laughed, "You should see your face." he said.

I looked at the servants, they look at me suprisingly. "Princess, what happened to your face? Are you okay?" The bombarded me with questions.

"Please look at yourself, Princess." a maid came running, holding a small mirror.

I looked at the mirror, and the sight of my face wasn't I expected. Because of slapping, a reddish hand shaped was seen. I face palmed and looked at Killian, who was smirking.

"You knew, but you didn't heal it." I said.

"I'm not good at healing." he said.

"Lies, wizards must learn healing." I said back.

"Are you stupid? I didn't said that I don't know. I know, but I'm just not good at it." he scowled.

"Whatever, you're just making up excuses." I muttered. I heard him scoffed.

"Think what you want, Princess. You know what, my stomach is saying something..." he said, grabbing the cupcakes, that the servants brought.

"He said that he's hungry..." he continued as he look at me while eating.

"What a weirdo." I whispered. I know he can't hear-

"Not as weird as you." Okay, he did heard me. I drank my tea slowly and took some cupcakes..

I made a moaning sound, as the chocolate when into my mouth.

"Chocolate, you're the best." I said and continue eating.

My tea time with Killian ended smoothly, the Head maid led me back to my room. As what I said to my mother about bathing time, the maids didn't help me bathe, so I took the time enjoying on the bathtub.

After that, they helped me put my night gown, the maid brushed my hair slowly. It was calming and it made me sleepy.

So, I told the maids to leave, "May the blessings upon the Luthanian Empire, be with you, Princess." I nod, and waved goodbye.

I quickly jump to my bed, and the softness of the bed embraces me, I quickly went to sleep.

Thud thud thud. I woke up from a banging sound on my door. 'what time is it?' I looked outside the window, it's still early, why are they interrupting my sleep?

"Who is that?" I raised my voice, and the banging sound stop.

"Princess, it's me the Head maid."Why the heck would she interrupt me, in a different manner.

"Come in."Now my tone changed into anger. The door swung opened, revealing only the Head maid.

"Why have you here early in the morning? And the way your waking me up, is really disrespectful." my stern voice raised.

Lenria raised her hand to the maid. The Head maid received a slap from the princess, but the princess' slap was more like a feather touch.

For the princess was not used to slapping her servants. Nor using her hands, for she was a lazy bum. It was still early in the morning, of course she can't used her strength that much.

To be exact, she hasn't trained sword fighting anymore, after she left Garrick's Estate.

I wonder how's Albert. I'm gonna go visit him sometimes. Wait, back to the present, the maid here still need to explain on why she interrupted me.

"Answer me, Aimar." I said her name.

"The maids have come to check your room, Your Highness. We do that every time here in the Palace." Even my parents room, that's dangerous! Someone might act as a maid, and come in my parents room, or worse mine.

"Why am I not informed about this? I'm the Princess." I asked.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, this won't happen again. But, please don't lock your door." she said. I was confused, since when did I lock my door.

"Head maid, I think you might be mistaken just now, but I don't remember locking the door." I said, and the Head maid looked at me with a confused look.

We're now both confused.

"Your Highness, I unlocked the door before knocking. The maid thought you were in a trouble, because it took you too long to open up the door. So, I came with the master keys." she said in a calming voice.

"Okay, but next time, inform me if you're checking my room and also my parents." I said, the head maid bowed and left.

That's weird. I don't really remember locking the door.
