Mystery of Natasha Adirohja In Relation To Firobanzir The Great.

6: Surprises in Attitude.

   Just the next day, Natasha was early to class, before she got to her classroom, she tried as much as possible to reach as many departments in the palace just to let them know that she is willing to change her attitude; she needed no one to tell her, she knew she was rude herself. She ran into Mrs Magaret on the passage way, the chief cook of the palace; she was a huge woman in her middle fifties who has worked for the palace for 30 years, she looked harsh and scary at first impression, but she was actually kind, she walked briskly and fell off some of the spices from her basket unknowingly, Natasha walked ahead to pick them up "Mrs Magaret!" She spoke in her tiny voice  "good morning ma, this fell off when you were going, I picked them for you", Natasha said, "orhw that's so kind of you Nat", Mrs Magaret said sincerely and patted her cheeks, "thank you", she said both pleased and surprised , she collected the Scotch bonnet peppers and went straight to the kitchen.
   Mr Rainford, one of the officials of the postage department came out of his office and saw Natasha, he hadn't taken note of what just happened, but he tried as much as possible to walk past her as quick as he could because he had known she could say some uncomfortable things about his funny styles of shoes which people always made fun of anyways even though the shoes were not eye sores at all but only had multi color designs that looked weird but was just the style of shoes he always preferred to wear "good morning Mr Rainford" she spread her flare school gown across her hips as a sign of greeting, bending her right knee a little bit downwards. He bowed in return to her gesture, "Nat, you're welcome, good morning" he smiled, " guess you're in your good mood this day?" He asked, " just want to feel good, isn't it great?" She asked, "that's wonder my girl" he smiled again and walked away.
   Suddenly, Natasha's classmates; her usual enemies came by, it was almost time for meeting time and classes, as they cross paths, they spat at her and called her names, Natasha however did not change her attitude towards them as she lavished them well with insults, the hatred between could be unending, Natasha was however unlucky she had no friend she could confide in or someone to take her side since she was all alone in the battle, she still was a strong person who was always not defeated by her lack of supporters.
   They however all went back to the school meeting room in the palace, the school only belonged to children of royal officials of the palace, they however were not many in the school. The school was divided into the boys and girls division and the total population of pupils in Natasha's class we're just four, the three other girls were best of friends.
   School however ended on the usual note as before, horrible time in class, she was already used to it anyway, leaving the palace, she luckily meets prince Denning who was speaking with Antonio the head captain of the Banzian ship, there were some equipments for the Banzian kingdom which needed to be imported from Middle Antarica, some of which were needed for the reconstruction procedures of some Banzian structures and roads along with some health
equipments for The Central Hospital, they were to go about the procedures as early as possible.
   "Good day Prince Denning!" A childish voice was heard from behind when  the Prince and Antonio were deep into their conversation, it was Natasha Adiroja's voice, they both turned their heads in the direction of the voice, Prince Denning was surprised to see his newest friend, "oh Natasha damsel!" He came over to meet her, bending towards her, he observes her face and notices some quints of pain and discomfort, he signalled Antonio a " we will talk later sign" with his left fingers, Antonio left at once.  Prince  Denning turned back to Natasha, he noticed shivers in her body.
   "What has happened to you Natasha, is there something wrong?" He asked, she looked up to his face and sighed,  her throat feeling bitter from pain and sorrow "I've been trying to change my attitude to adults and everybody as you told me to, but it seems it's not working especially with my classmates sir, you are the only one who I seem to confide in sir. This morning I picked up Scotch bonnet peppers that fell off Mrs Magaret's basket and she thanked me, I'm improving but am still feeling that sorrow each day I see the features of this palace and each moment I walk out from this palace" she looked up to Prince Denning's face to find he has been listening attentively to her, he looked so touched by her story "I think you are lacking something Natasha" he began, " you know what that is? Fun!" he replied, " you've been lacking fun in your life and I don't blame your dad, he's too busy with his office to have time for you".
   "Will you come over with me for some adventure?" He asked her, " I guess I don't have to ask that I can see you need it" he called the attention of one of the Palace security officials, "call me Richard please", "yes my Lord" the official said,  just a few minutes later Richard Eirch, one of the palace horse riders and the guard appeared before his presence, he ordered Natasha to go ride the horse with Richard at the  ranch as he will another ride with them.
   The palace was the largest territory in Banzir which also served as the foremost tourist attraction in it's kingdom, it was thoughtfully designed with different forms of leisure and tourism sites for the palace inhabitants, Natasha had never been to the ranch before. It was beautiful to behold, there was a lake in the middle of the ranch which was a source of temporary irrigation to the grasses for the livestock in the ranch.
   Prince Denning asked Natasha if she could ride a horse on her own which turned out negative. He climbed her unto the horse as Richard came down from it to enable the Prince climb on it, " let's do this" he gave the horse a stroke and off with speed the horse ran round the ranch, he gave it few more strokes and the faster it ran the more conscious Natasha was becoming " waaouw!" She shouted, then he patted the horse to reduce it's speed, then gradually it finally stopped, "that's a good boy" Prince Denning commented, Natasha repeated after him, she patted the horse too" that's a good boy!" Prince Denning looked at her roughly, then after a few seconds, they both laughed, "what's his name?" She asked, " really! I haven't imagined to gave it a name since" he said, " ok, should we name him Jadek because he's gentle and obedient" she suggested, " then Jadek he is" he said into her ears softly while he interlocked her tiny hands into his with so much intimacy , she got too aware of his hands on her and she found it difficult to breathe. The feeling meant more of an emotional tie from him to her. Imaginations of all kinds of intimate actions between she and the prince occurred in her head as the thought made her silent.

   They went on more and more horse racing trainings, it was a much more adventurous moment for Natasha as she soon forgot all the troubles she had encountered earlier in school, it was one of the many days she had rather enjoyed in a long time, she also imagined herself in Prince Denning's arms, cuddling and touching his face and telling him she would be there for him forever, but however faces the bitter thought of she never having to be a part of his private life eventually, she was too young to be realised for infatuations or to get romantically engaged with. Prince Denning cannot imagine the same about her. To him, she was just a young child and was only trying to be nice to one.

   However, soon the friendship between Prince Denning and Natasha was already known to all the officials in the palace and the pupils in the school. Her presence soon commanded respect from her classmates because of her engagement with the most charming man in Banzir, Prince Denning, she however started getting good remarks about her attitude from various departments as she walked by to school, sometimes she heard "Natasha's become a good child now", "she's now moving with prince Denning", "hmm I think he's influencing her, he's such a good man". The hatred from her mates however turned to respect as she was the star of the school now.
