When the sun started to hid behind the clouds, i stopped beating the hay figure i made. Resting my fists on both of my sides i took deep breaths steadying my breaths.
Closing my eyes for the slightest bit i heard a shuffle of the hay that was scattered throughout the barn. Picking up my sword from the ground i started to slide out the sword when i saw who the intruder was, then snapped my sword back to its home. Returning my punches to the worn out hay man,
"I take that as an insult," the General said coming out of the shadows,
"For not hacking you into pieces?" i grunted feeling the sweat beads traveling down my face,
"For thinking that i'm not worth your time," he said his voice still rough,
i stopped punching and tried to calm down the racing of my heart, from both the General and the work out.
"You know lady Amelia, it's not fit for a lady to be out this late." He said standing next to my hay man
"Yer' concern is appreciated, General but i'm a lady with a sword with the Keeper's eyes on me. I doubt any one with a mind would come approach me." i said between breaths, then kicked the head off of the hay man making the General ducking so his head wouldn't roll off either.
He looked at the head and got back up slowly, "then i apperantly don't have a mind since i came to you. All i wanted to know was the story of the girl with the keepers eyes and the unique sword," he said keeping things interesting
i fixed my cloak on my shoulders then fixed my Shenna around my face leaving my eyes open for the world, then looped the Rose Princess over my shoulder letting it hang on my back.
"She's a monster, someone who should be left alone before she taints your life with darkness . She's the murder princess, she was born a killer and will die as one too." i said looking up at the General's eyes which were staring at me with wonder, and pity.
He opened his mouth to say something but both of us looked away with our hands on the hilt of our swords.
"Amelia, it's time" Jezebel said coming into the barn then looking at both me and the General with curios eyes
i sighed and let go of my hilt, "Keep in mind what i said General, it's going to save yer' life." i told him with one more glance then walked away from him to Jezebel who was smirking
"Jezebel if you want to leave yer' face the way it is i would suggest you stop smiling at me," i threatened
She immediately look away, but i saw her sneaking glances my way.
Ignoring the glances, we made it to the maids quarters going to the back seeing Master there with the maid Princess Lily is always with,
"Ah, Amelia you finally made it" Master said
i just gave him a nod and looked around, "Wheres her royal Majesty,"
"She's getting into the right attire as well as you should be" Master said nodding to the house,
"Little miss needs to hurry, i'm not in the best of moods." i said thumping down on the ground sitting criss cross with my arms twisted with each other over my chest.
My thoughts were wondering on about the General, and how his hair feels. Knowing that these thoughts aren't appropriate try to think of how he's Prince Roy's Army's General. That would just get me mad and upset.
"Sorry to keep you waiting,"
Looking up i saw Princess Lily in maiden's clothes, her hair was wrapped in a bun with a bonnet on top of it. She gave out a faint smile, "How do i look,"
