TWISTED FATE OF THE KNIGHT

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Invitation

"Then, why are you okay with sleeping with me?" He said curiously as he looked at me.

"Because I don't really mind those since I grew up being a man so I really don't mind as long as you don't touch me," I said to him casually since wala akong pakialam dahil nasanay na akong gumalaw na parang lalaki and I don't really study about etiquettes relating on how to be a proper noble lady since I am not a noble so it doesn't matter to me.

"What if I do something to you?" He said as he looked at me. 

"It's alright. I can protect myself, and I can just break a bone or two if you attack me," I said as I smiled at him with a darkened aura. He looked away with an awkward expression as if he didn't expect me to say that.

"Of course, I will not do that to my master," He said as he laughed a little kaya tinignan ko siya dahil natatawa ako sa kanyang reaction dahil parang natakot siya sa sinabi ko.

"I know. It almost 3 years that I have been with you so I trusted you," I said since if he really does something to me bakit hindi pa niya ginawa dati pa.

"Thank you for trusting me," He said pero ang makikita mo sa kaniyang mukha ay hindi maipaliwanag dahil hindi ko masabing masaya siya o hindi. He looks neutral when he told me that.

"Of course since you once save my life, Ash. I am very thankful for that since I didn't think I can survive if it weren't for you," I said to him as I smiled genuinely, and he looked at me with a surprised look as if he didn't expect me to thank him.

"Let's go inside before we catch a cold even though you can't catch a cold but it is better to change our clothes," sabi ko sa kaniya since malapit na din naman kami. Some maids brought us towels when they spotted us were drenched so as soon as we arrived they handed us the towels. Ian was also there when he should leave but he was holding a letter. 

"Ian, hindi ka ba aalis?" Tanong ko sa kaniya kaya napatingin siya sa akin and his expression is unreadable after reading the letter.

"I will but later since this letter is for you. I'm sorry, I opened it and I didn't think that you will receive it so soon," He said as he handed me the letter and I can recognize the emblem of the letter.

"Wha--"

Empress's State...

"If this a dream then don't wake me up! I didn't expect that I will live here like a princess," She said as she lay down on her bed.

"Miss, please refrain from shouting and prepare for your lessons," Her maid said while standing beside her bed.

"Okay, okay," She said as she stands up then her maid assisted her to change her clothes.

"Miss Sheenova, the Empress told me to tell you that you will be joining the Empress with her tea time this afternoon after your lessons," She said to her as she finishes tying her hair with a jewel that was given by her from Her majesty as a gift.

"Oh sure, let's go so that I can have a rest before I meet Her Majesty," She answered as she stands up and went out of her room. Sumunod lang kanyang maid na inassign sa kaniya.

"You are remarkable, Miss Sheenova," Her tutor complimenting her since she already finishes her lessons not too long when she started. Lahat ng kaniyang mga guro ay hinahangaan siya dahil madali niyang naiintindihan at lahat ng pinapagawa sa kaniya ay lampas sa kanilang inaasahan kaya lahat ng marka niya ay matataas. She doesn't lack in any way so as her magic since she was already accustomed to her new environment. In short, she is a princess material, and she was spoiled by Her Majesty for excellence in all of her lessons and training.
