CH 05 Duty

"Father!" I kneel down in front of father to show respect him to the king.

"Stand now my daughter." He walks towards me and touched my shoulder.

"I need your help." His eyes focus on me seriously. "I'm with honour to receive your orders, Father."

"Our west stronghold was being attacked by rebel army yesterday. Even though our gate had a damage but the rebels can't get through the gate." Father telling what happens yesterday. "we need to prepare a war at West Laguna but first we need to evacuate the"

I need you to lead 100 army to evacuate and protect the citizens. Défense them until they get into the safety camp at the Middle Laguna." Father order me and turn over walked to his throne. "Rest of them I will take care of it.".

"I'm object, Father" I speak with unsatisfied. "What!" Father stop walking and turn over to me. "I'm the best knight in the kingdom. I have training well and hard but still the orders you give me is not what I want" I argue it. "I want to go war, father. War!" I face him with all confident I have.

"I will not approve for you to going the war!" He opposed me strongly. "But, father...."

"Enough!!! Don't you dare to disobey my order, Marisha." Father pointed to me angrily. My head went down with the silent mode. But this is unfair. I also want to protect your people. At least before this cursed do something on me, I want accomplish my dream. My dream is to take down the rebel army. That's all I want.

"Listen Marisha, I don't want to lose you. Not today. You are my precious daughter. Please understand my feeling as a father." Father touch my both shoulder with his worried face. I nod my head accepting it without any saying word. I disappointed. I understand how much he love me but at least grant my wish. That's all I want. Nothing more.

I went out the palace with full of displeasure. But it never ever let me down. Maybe not today for me to devoted myself for the kingdom. Before I went to the strategy camp, I prepare all my equipment and my spirit to make sure my weakness not extroverted to the soldier. I stepping to the strategy camp. I can see my army line up perfectly waiting the command to be given by a leader.

I walk in front the line. I have been welcoming by Sir Zent. One of the seven Royal Knight. "Welcome, my lady. Your father sent me to be on your side." He bows down respectfully but I just walk away. I don't like him. He is just a sycophant, bring a shame to the kingdom. I don't understand why father still keep him as a royal knight. He is a failure even in leading of soldier and battlefield.

I call him 'CK', as known as coward knight. Why I call him? Because every time he going to the war or mission, most of them failed when he became a leader. More suspicious that he came see father bring bad news, he come back alone first and after a few hours his army came with injury. Furthermore, he has no injuries, his body still clean like he has taken bad a few hours and his armour still shining, no blood or mark of dirt or scratch.

He doesn't have right to be my right man. I ignore all his talks and discussions. I checked up my soldier. I lead 50 cavalries, 25 archers, 25 swordsmen. I explained about the mission and strategize the formation. After that, I lead my army to the west gate.
