My New Life

CHAPTER 39

AMMELIA’S POV

It is finally Friday. The last day of school for the week.

‘Rejoice!’

I know I had to deal with some things but I also have to finish the problems right in front of me.

“We’re all done Ammelia.” I heard Liam told me while he entered the tower.

“Great because I also just finished.” I said while sitting down.

“I’m exhausted.” Nicholas said while sitting beside me and resting his head on my shoulder.

“Uhuh. My body is still a little sore from cleaning.” I agreed.

“I wonder if we can start training now.” Liam said while sitting in front of us.

“Good job.” A voice said from beside me making me jump which made my shoulder hit Nicholas’ head.

“Ow.” Nicholas groaned.

“I am so sorry.” I apologized while rubbing the place that I hit.

Looking at Sir Ethan, he is still wearing baggy clothes and his messy hair was covering his eyes and he was scratching his stubble.

“You finished your job in five months.” Sir Ethan clapped his hands with an emotionless face.

'Is this his way of praising us or something?'

“Now, go greet your new member.” He ordered. We all looked at him in surprise.

'A new member? That's unexpected. The guy is like five months late.'

A boy with black hair that was styled perfectly and with silver eyes entered.
He looks a little familiar but I just can’t pin point it.

“Good day, I am Parker Bourke.” He bowed.

“Bourke?” I mumbled, thinking.

Then a light bulb went inside me.

“Oh, Bourke.” I said dejectedly.

“Oh, it seems that you know him Ammelia.” Sir Ethan looked at me.

‘Ammelia?’ I glared at him. ‘This guy if he just didn’t have the powerful aura around him I would like to beat him up.'

'We're not close, do please be formal.' Is what I wanted to say but of course I can't.

“No, not at all. I am just familiar with some of his family members.” I said with a polite smile, covering whatever I was thinking.

“His name do sound familiar.” Nicholas stated.

“He’s related to the Lady we met in the auditorium.” I reminded him while he’s mouth formed an ‘O’ shape as if he already knew who we were talking about.

Now that I look closer, he looks very identical to Penelope but his hair and eyes were similar to Prince Damien.

“Who is he?” Liam asked confused.

“Well, it seems that my family is quite known in this group.” Prince Parker said with a smile.

“I have met two of your siblings that left quite an impression on me so it is hard not to remember. Especially if the Aqua Royals are mentioned everywhere at school often.” I told him.

“Huh? What Royals?” Liam asked confused.

Aqua Royals was a nickname that the people gave the royal siblings because they attract quite a lot of attention. I heard stories and rumors about their family and of course that includes how the four siblings are unstoppable alone what more if they all work together.

“Let me introduce. This is the third prince of the Kingdom of Aquasis, Prince Parker Bourke.” Sir Ethan said ignoring my brother.

“Once again, it is nice to meet you.” He smiled while winking.

‘Is this Lukas version two?'

“This is the daughter and son of Duke Anderson, Miss Ammelia Anderson and Sir Nicholas Anderson.” Sir Evan said while dragging his words.

‘Can I punch him? We're gonna take forever.’ I thought, trying to hide my annoyance.

“I hope to get along well with you.” I curtsied while Nicholas bowed.

“And this is the son of Duke Collin, William Collin.” Sir Ethan said with a bored tone.

“A pleasure to meet you.” Liam bowed and I swore that both of them had a little staring contest for a second.

“You too. Mister Collin,” Prince Parker smirked. “Please just call me Parker and I will be in your care.” He bowed.

Sigh, 'If only he came a bit more earlier and I would've seen a prince all messed up and dirtied while cleaning like a servant. A pity.'

“Okay. All four of you listen up. Your ranks will be thrown away while you are under me.” Sir Ethan started. “No one is above and no one is below. Understand?”

“Yes.” We answered.

'Is that why you didn't bother using polite words to us?'

“Good. Well, Parker, since you arrived late and was not able to help the others in cleaning this whole property, I will give you another task.”

“Huh? Cleaned the whole property?” Parker asked confused while pointing outside.

Sir Ethan ignored him and continued, “I will assign you to make a garden near the gate that we passed by earlier.”

'Wah, I think the disregarding of ranks benefits him the most. He just ignored a prince.'

Sir Ethan threw some seed packets at Parker while Parker just stared at it incredulously.

“And you three.” He turned to face us.

“Yes.” We answered right away, straightening in our seats.

“Follow me.” He ordered. “You could start now Parker. There should be flowers blooming by the end of the month.”

“Yes, sir.” He answered yet he is still standing dumbfounded.

“Well you three. See that?” Sir Ethan pointed at a training area after we got out of the tower.

“Yes.” We nodded feeling a little excited.

“You could train there.” He started making our face brighten up and eyes glistening.

“'If’ you could create a weapon that represents you.” He continued. “Use a wood in making it and make it big enough that you could use in a fight.”

Our face fell.

Another assignment? And this is way harder than the first one. I am myself but I don't know myself so how am I supposed to know what to do? And not to mention carving. The last time I checked I wasn't in arts class.

“The sooner you can create it the sooner you can play. Oh, and tell mister prince about this once he finishes with the garden.” He finished then he was gone as fast as the wind again.

‘A weapon that represents me? What to do?’
