🔱THE FEMALE KNIGHT🔱[COMPLETED)✔

The Reveal

Alia's POV

Every immediate member of the Raizada family was present at the room. Even Mumbad was there too.

"So, its late at night and you lady have disturbed us. You are.." Raja said with a stern voice and his eyes locked at me, breaking the silience in the room.

I immediately corrected him.
"..not the Princess of Al-Maqmur. We both are here to-" i was interupted rudely when Mumbad took his sword and pointed towards me. This guy was much taller than me and looked like 30. Nevertheless, i did not fear him. I immediately draw the sword from my dress belt and pointed towards him.

"I expect no disturbance when im allowed to explain myself, Chief Commander. Put your sword down" I said glaring at him. From my corner of my eyes, i could already see Aisha gaping at me and her mum, placing her hands to her mouth.

Thaatha and thaathi( paternal grandparents) were also shocked in their seats. Azad ordered Mumbad to place his sword down and Mumbad moved a few steps back.

"Alia, surrender your sword to me at this instant!" Azad ordered. He came close to me and got the sword from me.

Raja shifted in his seat and gestured me to continue.

"Allow me to continue Raja. Im not the Princess of Al-Maqmur. Our Raja didnt acknowledge you, but our Princess was not interested in this as she loved one of our knights and she eventually wants to marry him. He might have turned down the offer but he didnt.

He sent me here, as we suspect that something wrong is going to happen here. I did come here to find out. It seems that two of the regions eventually turned down your invitation. Using that as a chance, your rival replaced this two regions with their people. They are suspected to be two of the brides that arrived here.

Therefore, Aqil and I are here to protect you and save your family from further harm. That's why we are here. We wanted to tell you beforehand..but we were both busy and so were you. Unfortunately, we had to do so today as Aisha found weapons in my luggage.." i said trailling off.

"Well, what prove can we have, to show that you are not one the bride who came here to attack us?" Mumbad asked me from a distance.

"If i had wanted to kill you all, i would have taken this very instant to slice your heads.." i murmured and Azad came close to me.

"You can always call our abba. He is the Chief Commander in our region. He was the one who sent us here" Aqil told immediately. He went forward to the telephone which was on the table and dialled Abba. Raja looked at him in biwilderment.

"Assalamualaikum Respected Raja
Mubashir Khan Raizada. Im the Chief Commander of Al-Maqmur. Its true that i have sent my best knights, Alia and Aqil to prevent any danger from arriving to your haveli. Im sure by now that they do know who the two intruders are. They only need the appropriate timing and enough evidances to catch them red-handed. Till then,please allow them to proceed. I would really like to apologise whatever has already happened.."

"Its alright. You should have told us earlier. I really appreciate for notifying us about this. We have already lost our important members. We cant bear to lose anyone anymore. Jazakallah" Raja ended the call.

"I think they have proved themselves enough. However, i still feel that we need to monitor them. Azad. Its your duty to monitor them and help them in whatever aspects they need. Stay with them. Mumbad, alert your soldiers and increase the night patrol duties and for the both of you, i do not wish to say anything. You may both leave now" he instructed. Aqil and I walked out of the library,feeling half satisfied that everyone knew and half afraid, of not knowing what was going to happen next.

Raja's POV

"Abba, that voice was soo familiar, but i couldnt remember who it was. He didnt mentioned his name either and the girl, Alia, is really someone Azad needs. She was daring enough to stop Mumbad from hurting her further. Not only that, the other day, after the personal talk, i did listened to whatever she communicated with Azad. However,the thing is that she isnt a princess. She is a female knight. And i didnt expect that for a female" Raja said.

Raja's father who was also the former king, nodded in agreement.

"I have a feeling if both Azad and Alia cooperate with each other, they will sure find the solution to protect this place and of course their lifes. Your Ma kept saying that she felt she have had seen the girl, Alia, before" he replied.

Azad POV

"Alia, was that all true or did you.."

"Look Azad. I dont have time and we dont have time! We have instructions that they would attack us at any time! If you have any ideas to alert your guards tell me. Just dont question whether it is true or i made up stories. By the way, why are you still following me?"she sneered.

"I want to take your other weapons away. What if whatever you tell is false and and you are making up stori-" i demanded.

In flash, Alia spun around and plastered me against the wall by placing her arms over my chest. She came close to me and stared intensely and i was there standing,not knowing what was happening.

"If i wanted to kill you all, i would have done it the moment Mumbad took out his sword. Bear in mind that i am also a knight and i can do anything to protect myself and at the same time, take one's life. I would never hesitate to do that, Azad. Just because your knights helped us once, we are returning the favour back. Its up to you whether you want to believe it or not. All i can assure you is that its time for you to start listening to others and not to stick to your walls" she bellowed, glaring at me like no one else.

I shifted slightly whereas she held my gaze tightly. She promptly ignored my struggle against her, standing up by herself. I could scarcely breathe as i felt her elbow brushed against my chest. Her skin was soft and pale. I had to admit that she wasnt flawless. She had a scar near her mouth and her eyebrows. Her eyes seemed to have gotten brighter and at the same time, bigger. They sparkled in the darm like a pair of luminescent diamonds, radiant and beautiful.

I saw her backing away from me as the knights were striding in unison towards us like a robotic centipede, their armor clanking as they marched.

"Alert them in case something happens and dont forget whatever i told you. Even your life matters to me" Alia responded and went away without even turning around to face me.

I would never forget whatever you did to me today, Alia. Afterall, my life mattered to you; someone wanted to protect me for the very first time.
