I watched him drive away in his carriage and then I slowly walked back into the palace. Everyone was asleep and I hoped no one noticed I was gone because if they had, I would be chastised by my mother and she would not hesitate to yell at me. My mother is delightful and I love her so much but she wanted the best for me and nothing less. I know she is not proud at me at this very moment because I had been messing up and not acting how a princess should. I escaped to my chamber and I breathed in when I got to my chamber with my nightwear on without anyone noticing that I had been gone.
But, as always, my heart started to beat fast when I heard a voice in my room.
"Where have you been?" I heard my mother ask, with her hands on her waist.
Lord, please help me now.
Sahem Awa
"Thou hast been smiling lately. What is going on? Are you ill?" Maqu asked, laughing at my good mood.
"What? Am I not allowed to simply smile now?" I ask, a little annoyed at his attitude.
"No, of course not. You are Sahem Awa- the prince and warrior of Assyria. You are the Beast, as people call you. Of course you do not smile," he chuckled under his breath.
I had a close relationship with my commander and he was like my right hand man sometimes but he did not encourage me following around Lorena. But, as always, I do what I want. If I want something, I go after it. I see Lorena as a mystery and I would like to know more about her. She thinks I would actually force her to marry me but I would never do such a thing.
I am simply just trying to annoy her father. When I win the fight, I will not actually force the princess to marry me. I simply harassed the girl to terrorize her father.
However, in the midst of all of that, I began to see things. It was not just about annoying her father anymore. Something about the princess fascinated me and made me long to be around her more. Not only was she not afraid of me, she also was very demanding towards me.
No one had ever had the determination to treat me normally but maybe it was because I was a very scary man. Looking from an outward perspective, no one would want to be around me because I look like a very terrifying person and I am.
I am known for killing and fighting. But Princess Lorena does not know that.
"So, where have you been all day? We almost started preparing for the yearly festival and your father was very angry when he realized you never showed up. My friend, where have you been?" Maqu questioned me.
"I am a man and I may do whatever I wish. I am not telling you where I was. That is my business," I harshly told him.
"I am your commander and I want to look out for my prince. I have a feeling that I already know where you have been," he gave me a knowing look before asking, "You were with the princess?"
"Yes, I was," I said hesitantly before clearing my throat and fixing my armor.
"Sahem, you know it is forbidden to keep harassing that girl. Why are you constantly following her? Sahem, you have to stay away. She is one of your fathers' enemies. Do you know how betrayed the king will feel?" He tried to convince me however, I would not listen. I feel as if I can be around whomever I want. I am the one in this kingdom that wins the wars and takes the spoils of the land. So therefore, I should be able to harass who I want and be interested in who I want to be interested in.
