"Princess Lwell!" My servant came rushing on to the royal balcony. I ignored him and continued to gaze at the field below. Villagers living peacefully and sharing harmony with every other creature. This is my favourite sight of all times.
"Princess Lwell!" My servant called out once more. I turned to face him with a solemn face. Like my father said, I am restricted from showing too much feeling. Poker face on, Cecilia.
"When it's military concerns, Commander, please," I spoke steadily.
"Co-Commander Lwell," My loyal servant modified my appellation and continued his report. "There are Fire dragons attacking from North. "
"So...What's your idea?"I cluttered my teeth, already knowing my answer. My servant dropped his mouth open, clearly nervous to answer such an important matter.
"Uhh...Maybe you could come up with some fighting tactics?"My loyal servant suggested. Oh, he's so shy.
"Defend the castles," I strode down the stairwells and sang a song to myself. A song a very dear friend of mine taught me. The tune still echoed in my head as the last line come to an end. I wonder where my friend is. He was captured by the dragons a few years back and no one ever saw him again.
I watched in silence as our archers rained on the oncoming dragons, while the dragons aren't in range yet to fire back.
A spear out of nowhere landed next to me.
All my servants look startled. I turned around.
Only to see my friend standing behind me.
"Hey, long time no see," He displayed an evil grin in a dragon's outfit. "Cecilia. Or, should I say, Princess Lwell."
Without a second thought, I lift my legs and aimed at his head.
There's no point keeping an enemy your friend.
He collapsed to the ground, that's when I realised how weakly built he was. He was way stronger the last time I saw him. I ordered my servants to take him to a spare cell and continued to oversee the battle myself.
The dragons soon retreated and our archers decided to celebrate with a party. Halfway through the celebration, I felt that something is wrong, so I excused myself and went on to the balcony to get some air.
The night sky is covered with big chunk of blue clouds, it reflected well off the purple sky. I really like this type of weather, but we don't have them often. To make sure our ally's camp is safe, the sky is usually cleared by the Pegasus so we can watch our allies at all times.
The temperature dropped fast, so I went back inside. Then I remembered my 'imprisoned' friend, so I made my way down to the silent basement.
"Cecilia." he whispered. "Watch out."
Then he turned his head as a guard walked past. I swallowed and left the cell.
In my chamber, I tossed and turned, but is still confused about what my friend said. Watch out. Watch out for what? A flying hobbit? Or an insane plant?
As a metal dropped to the ground in the distance, a thought came to my mind. I sat up straight as I nervously looked out the window. Then I shot out of my chamber, barefoot and still in my nightgown.
"Princess!" My servant followed me through the hallways. I pushed open the big wooden doors to the feast hall.
"Attention everyone!" I yelled and made my way up to the stage. All the guests look startled. Okay, maybe I should admit I've always been a quiet person. "Attention!"
