🔱THE FEMALE KNIGHT🔱[COMPLETED)✔

The Lunch

Alia POV

I completed my prayers and sat down thinking what i was doing in my life. More like what i have done in my life. Learning to fight, defend and attack whenever other mansions wanted to attack us, the Al-Maqmur, was what i did since young.

Why am i doing this? Why am i protecting? Or more like why abba is protecting them? He is the chief commander of Al-Maqmur, but not the Ar-Rahim, where the Raizaadas rule.

"Di,completed your prayers? Its going to be 2. Hurry up!" Aqil said opening the chamber door. I quickly folded the musollah and placed it on my bed and went to the restroom to change into an anarkali suite with matching coloured hijab. I applied minimal make-up and rushed behind Aqil.

"Anymore dont come near the female chamber. Just stand at the brigde or call me to talk or discuss something" i said, walking quickly towards the main part of the mansion which lead to the main hall.

"Your chamber is really near to the bridge. No one's gonna look at me!" Aqil said adjusting his watch." By the way do you know the way to the dining area?"he asked, raising an eyebrow of his. I looked at him and simply stared.

Just then, i noticed the same guy whom i saw at the hallway. This time round he was wearing a cream pants and a dark blue shirt. His veins on his forearms were visible as he had folded his sleeves. He had directed me the kiblat, surely, he must have known the way to the dining area.

I cleared my throat and walked towards him while Aqil followed behind me. "Assalamualaikum, i forgot to thank you just now. Well, do you know where the dining area is? We both are kinda lost.." i trailled away. He pointed to a certain direction. Seeing that,Aqil and I nodded and walked towards the dining area.

"That guy sure looks like he doesnt like those messing up with him. His biceps are twice as mine man!"he gasped.

"Guess he is knight. I saw him just now with his armour on" i responded.

We both entered the dining area. Men and women from all ages were surrounding the long dining table. Before we could further get lost, Aisha popped up from behind us and assigned Aqil and I seats. I was situated right next to Kalsom.

"Hey we meet again! Im sorry that i couldnt talk to you just now, i had a call from my native. So you are here to like...erm know the prince? Have you seen him before?"she asked.

"Its my first time here and i have not seen the Prince. Wait. Is it that guy in the maroon suit?"i gestured.

"Thats the Prince's cousin. Nawfal Saif and he's married. His wife is that woman with the maroon hijab and maroon long sleeved saree" she replied, pointing towards a woman like of age no longer than 28.

There were two other females who were sitting beside Kalsom, and Shameera was on my left. The two other females introduced themselves as Mairah and Faryal.

'Kalsom, Mairah and Faryal,Shameerah are my suspects. Just maintain a good relationship first'i thought to myself.

"Oh my, are you really the princess? Why is your outfit soo simple? Do you think that Prince Azad would accept you this way? No way. By the way, dont try to flatter him. I have known him for three years and we are certainly close. I know his likes and dislikes. I dont think anyone would have the same potential as me. Im unique and i know it. Wait wait, have you even ever seen him or talked to him before? Oh i guess not! He sure wouldnt have time to talk to simple woman like you!"she lectured, flipping and curling her hair that fell on her shoulders. She was repeatedly adjusting her stone worked lahenga and touched her enormous necklace that looked as if it was almost choking her.

I was about to reply to that rude comment of hers before i was interupted.

"Assalaamualaikum my fellow brothers and sisters. Thank you for attending to this important event whereby our five closest mansion has sent their princesses over for a month stay. Our Prince Azad, would really love to interact with them individually and hopefully come to a decision to finalise his wedding. Now everyone, Prince Azad is here" a guy who was wearing armour,was announcing at the head of the table, three seats beside the Raja.

The door opened and the guy i met at the hallway entered with a few others surrounding him. I was looking for the Prince but he was nowhere to be found. The crowd later settled down to their seats and the guy i met at the hallway sat next to Raja.

Aqil,sitted directly opposite me, gave a weird face. "Why the hell is HE sitting beside Raja?!"he mouthed out.

"Oh yeah girl, this is Prince Azad. Of course my future husband!" Shameerah exclaimed and clasped her hands together. I literally stared back at her. Wild thoughts were running through my mind. Isnt he a mere knight?

"You may now enjoy the lunch!"announced the guy with the armour. The attenders placed trays and plates of mouth watering and aromatic food on the long table. Briyani, Kebobs , naan and more.Everyone were starting to get their bite and i was there, staring at my empty plate.

" You okay?" Kalsom said while nudging me. I returned to my senses and carried on with my lunch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Di,why did they gave us a menu? Is it for dinner?" Aqil asked while we returned back to our chambers.

"Its the event layout you dumb! Look carefully" i replied pointing onto the scroll that the people gave us. I was looking through the highlighted events and one of them made me stop on my tracks. It read;
