An Egyptian Princess

Chapter Five

Nara's pov: A week to find a suitor?

"Oh my god!!! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME I JUST TURNED FIFTEEN I AM EXPECTED TO FIND A SUITOR WITHIN A WEEK THIS IS HORRIFYING!"I say pacing

Suddenly there was a knock on the door!

"I'll get that sister!"Jeff said going to open the door!

"Who is it Jeff?"I asked

"It's the man that we hid it seems he is better Ma'am!"Jeff said knowing not to give me away!

"Let the man in Jeff!"I said

"Madam! ma'am!"he said bowing to both of us!

"This is my maiden cassia!"I said introducing Arimnukna

"And your the great Lady Arimnukna!"he said getting on one knee.

"Rise sir and tell me why you came here so early!"I said

"How is this dress mistress?"Arimnukna asked me

"A light purple would suit the young princess just fine complimented with a light pink rose and a pair of diamond earrings!"the unnamed man said holding out a package.

"I had the tailor made it a week ago I took my masters money after he whipped me for not doing as I was supposed to but for spying on you and I killed him in his sleep for it! I've got more gold to spend lavishly even gold enough to build my own palace!"he said

"Pardon me sir but what is your name and I shall inspect that package!"Jeff said he plucked the rose from his hand and offers it to me!

I stand up from the bed! And take the flower from Jeff!

Jeff sets the package down and opens it and pulled out a light purple dress long sleeved and small ruffled hem line!

"I would like it we take a walk down by the beach ma'am? And alone if it's possible!"he said

"Maiden what is my schedule for today?"I asked

"Nothing much other then meeting with a suitor for lunch! And inspecting the coronation settings and you have a brunch with another suitor then a dinner tonight with a suitor!"Arimnukna said holding a list

"Can you go look at the coronation settings and what of the invitation list who all is invited?"I asked

"Just go have fun at your brunch and I will meet you after with a walk ma'am!"the guy who hasn't said his name yet said turning to walk out!

"Excuse me but you are not dismissed mister, when in the presence of royalty you do not give sass and then just strut away mad, you wait to be dismissed or you ask to be dismissed! And you haven't given a name you just came calling and bearing lavish gifts and a delicate rose and now mad I have a brunch with a man I barely know! That is simply not proper behavior especially not from you!"I said

"And it's not proper to yell at a simple squire! And I will tell you who your brunch is with and the reason I had spent money on you and why I suggested the walk on the beach!"he said pushing his hair back

"My name is Rich my cousin is waiting for you at brunch his name is Collins he's rather a brute hardly table manners unless its his twin brother he criticizes everyone!"rich said his brown eyes searching mine!

I laughed lightly!

"Maiden do I have to really go see this fella?"I asked

"What is so wrong Princess with finding a man? Your mother did the same!"Arimnukna said

"Yes but she was betrothed to my father at birth I have no betrothal that I know of and I'm still a kid!"I said

"Miss Arimnukna I will kindly sweep you away I have a basket of fruits here and I will take you to the most elegant of restaurants here in Egypt!"Rich said picking up a basket unseen by us!

"Don't worry it's all safe fruit I said to the kitchen staff I was a Royal guard and tasted everything including the fruits!"he said

"Hmm you seem to be a cunning man tell me anymore secrets your hiding?"Jeff said

"Jeff!"I said

"No worries ma'am he has every right to be suspicious I have been silently watching you I be in the bedroom chamber of yours and I'd watch you take in customers and have trials!"he said

"So that's how come I found a rose the other night that was you?"I said

"Indeed I have a fancy with you Ari!"He said looking directly at Arimnukna!

And crash I will slam the door here for it's time to peek in on the parents! *evil giggle and grin*
