CHAPTER 12
I keep glancing outside because of the beautiful scenery. We were dropped of on the port where there are tons of ships.
I was in awe seeing those big ships. Scarlet bought our ticket. We were seated on the waiting area for our departure.
There are lots of nobles and soldiers a few kilometers away from us. Why is it whenever I go out I encounter a royal family? What is it this time?
“What’s happening there? “ I pointed out the crowd where I saw soldiers, noble ladies and maybe, a royal member?
“Oh? Maybe, it’s their inspection day to this port, milady”
Why is it at all days or times, today is the lucky day? I don’t want to meet someone who’s a member of the royal family. I’m not ready yet. There’s a long way to go for me to be prepared.
I’m wearing a commoners dress. It’s only a white blouse, a blue long skirt as well as black corset and a leather flat boots. In our world, this outfit is called dirndl, a folk costume in germany.
Maybe, they will not recognized me as the Lady in Raisville right?
“Milady, let’s go”
Scarlet arrives on time. I didn’t glanced to where the crowd gathered. I hurriedly climbed the stairs of the ship.
“Are you excited, milady?”
“Yes, I am. I want to see the scenery immediately”
*********
There are girls flocking towards us. The second prince keep smiling and complimenting the girls from one after another. Some of them, clung to my brothers arm.
I was annoyed at them because we can’t go home. We are here to checked the report of the ships.
When I glanced at the girl who’s sitting in the waiting shed. I recognized it’s back. It’s Lady Marcox, what she’s doing here?
“Your highness”
I looked whom clung onto my arm. It’s the girl who always pestering me. I brushed her arms away. I don’t want someone to touched me casually. Even the Lady Marcox didn’t do that to me.
I stared at her direction. There’s a girl who approached her holding a ticket. After that, she hurriedly climbed the stairs. I laughed when, she almost stumbled. Where is she going? But, when I saw the girl who’s with her. I don’t have to worry. She’s one of the Phoenix Association which I build.
I thought that I will not see her again, but i saw her visible on the deck area. I stared at her, I know she was appreciating the scenery, it’s written all over her face. I didn’t noticed that I smiled too.
Suddenly, there’s a man that approached her. Who is he? Why are they talking so casually?
“Brother, where are you looking at?”
“Nothing, we should go”
“Yes, I think we should”
I signaled the soldiers to shoo the girls away. I entered the carriage and glanced to the ship and read it’s name. Going to the west not to the east, eh?
********
I breath the fresh air the moment I’m on board. I saw the city in here and the blue seas, it’s a wondrous view.
“It’s wonderful”
“Indeed”
“Uhh? May I asked who you are?”
“Pardon beautiful lady, I’m Grog Shmann”
“I’m just called Alena”
“You don’t have a family name?”
“I have but I’d rather not talked about it”
“I’m sorry for being nosy, beautiful lady”
“Mi… sister?”
Amelia nearly slipped her tongue. Before, we stepped out of the carriage I told them not to treat me as a Lady Marcox. I want them to call me Alena my second name and the three of us are sisters. It is to avoid suspicions.
“Sister? Who is this man”
Amelia cling unto my arms. I’m the middle child while Amelia’s the youngest. The only spot left is the eldest sister which points to Scarlet. We were just acting for our safety.
“Uhm, I recently meet him. He’s.. err..”
“Grog Shmann, beautiful young lady”
He grabbed the hands of Amelia kissing it. I felt that she was disgusted by it. I felt safe since, he didn’t do that to me.
I looked at the street and saw the royal carriage still there but, the crowd is nowhere to be found. I furrowed my forehead thinking where did they go?
“May I asked your name, beautiful young lady?”
“Me?”
“Yes”
“Amelia”
“Oh? Amelia what a lovely name, it’s suited to a beautiful lady like you”
What’s with this man? Is she flirting with Amelia? I noticed that Amelia isn’t comfortable anymore. I hold her hands and walked to where Scarlet is.
Luckily, Scarlet has gone up here looking for us. The man who introduced to us, were following. What’s this mans purpose?
“Excuse me Sir errr.. do you have something to say to my sisters?”
Scarlet step up. She really had a keen eyes.
“Oho? I’d like to asked Amelia out, is that okay with you?”
“No”
“Why? She’s the most beautiful lady that I’ve ever laid my handsome eyes on”
“No. if you further annoy us, I’ll let the guards know that you were harassing my sister”
“Oh no? big sister, I’m just trying to take her out. I mean, isn’t she’s lucky to have someone handsome like me asked her out?”
Rina step up. I know she’s very annoyed right now.
“Excuse me sir, but have you looked yourself in the mirror?”
“Yes, in fact, I have my mirror in here”
He gets a small mirror inside of his pocket. He then brushed his hair using his fingers.
“Ah! So, handsome as always”
While, he was admiring his beauty. We decided to walked out on that area. We hurriedly goes back to our room so, that we can’t encounter him again.
What a weird person?
