After I knocked those two guards unconscious, two more guards stormed in with a very surprised looking Prince Ahren and King Maxon. I hadn't learned how to bow gracefully, but I managed a slight bow but no curtsies.
"Ha! She is the perfect one!"said King Maxon, quite loudly.
"Please excuse me, your majesty's, but I've got no apparent idea what you're talking about" I stammered still feeling slightly dazed
"Father, don't you think she is too young for the job?"asked Prince Ahren
Here I am just as confused as ever feeling like I am listening to the conversation that was not meant for my ears. So I just stood, feeling like a third wheel while the conscious two guards lifted the other two while almost collapsing under their weight.
In the end, they explained to me the situation, of which my theory was correct. The King left Prince Ahren alone with me since he needed to go do some work and told Prince Ahren to show me around the castle.
"First things first"said Prince Ahren, while we were walking around "Do you know why you are here, and how much do you know about hand-to-hand combat? Also, what is your name?"
"So um I am here because I got a job here at the castle, and I wouldn't say I know much about hand-to-hand combat. And my name is Alyssa" I replied.
"I think I do need to fill you in right, Alyssa? Well, this job is something a lot like what the guards do, but the rebels are getting more intense. And this, is the women's room where no men or guards alike are allowed in without permission from the queen. But my mom also despise guards, she doesn't like being watched all the time so here we are. A female! Now any more questions?"
"About the mon-"
"Ah yes! The money!"
"Is it possible to send half the portion of what I get to my sister?"
"Sure. We can arrange for that. And I think that concludes our tour, your training starting from tomorrow at seven will can help you catch up your training. Oh! I almost forgot, when the suitors come, this might sound weird but, you are not allowed to have a single "conversation" with them. Unless they ask you to some of the balls that would be held. See you tomorrow Alyssa!"
Prince Ahren then left me staring blankly at a door.
