Chereads / Clash of the seven kingdoms / Chapter 4 - Troublesome beginning

Chapter 4 - Troublesome beginning

The morning arrives and it was time for breakfast. It's Amber's first day inside the palace walls. She covers herself using the warm blanket and cuddles herself inside it. The sun shines through her room window shining into Amber's face. She slowly opens her eyes and starts to look around "where am I…?" she grumbles with her drowsy tone, she sits up and rubs the back of her head "right…it wasn't a dream" she yawns and gets ready to get off from the bed.

She felt like someone was watching her, she looks in front of her to find a man with long light purple hair with red eyes staring at her "eh?" she gets back into her bed "maybe he will go away after I wake up" she tries to go back to sleep. The male pouts and tries to wake Amber up "I'm not a dream!!" he starts to cry while kneeling near Amber's bed and holding on to the mattress.

Because of the noises, she wakes up again "you're still here…" the male cups her cheeks and starts crying while yelling at her "I'm not a dream!!" Amber looks at him pretty much annoyed "let go…" the male slide back and sits on the floor and sulks "so cold" Amber face palms and pulls the blanket off. She adjusts her nightgown and her hair "who are you anyway?" she places her feet on the floor, and she starts to wear her slippers before getting out of the bed. The male tilts his head "wait, you don't know me?" he points his finger at himself. She shakes her head "if I knew you, I wouldn't ask?" she gives the male a poker face. The male laughs and narrows eyes his, twirling a hair string using his finger "true…ahem" he clears his throat, he lends his hand to Amber and his atmosphere turns bright and shiny, roses petals start to fly down. Amber looks around completely confused "where did the rose petals come from…?" he laughs and twirling around and grabs Amber's hand, place a kiss on her hand as he introduces himself "my name is Remi Bourcier but you can call me Remmy, I'm the royal adviser besides that I apologize for barging inside your room without your permission~" Amber smiles slightly and slide her hand away from Remi "I-I see…nice to meet you sir Remi and took you a while to release that" the male pouts "eh! I was going to apologize you know and that's not all didn't I tell you to call me Remmy" she sticks her tongue out "whatever…" Remi sighs "well my queen~ I will take my leave~" he bows down and winks playfully.

He grabs the doorknob and ready to open the door but the door slams open "madam!" a maid came inside with a panic expression. Remi slowly moves the door and holds her nose "that hurts…" he looks at the girls with a puppy expression. The maiden looks at Remi "Lord Remi you shouldn't be inside a lady's room" she picks up Remi and throws him outside "please stay outside until Young lady is finished dressing up" she shut the door close. Remi starts to cry and pouts "you're mean!" he huffs and storms off while muttering something.

Amber was laughing while watching Remi getting kicked out. The maiden put a dress on Amber's bed and asks her to get herself a shower "miss, follow me" she opens a door to an average-looking bath, the maid starts to prepare the hot water bath with roses and bubbles. Amber looks at the maiden "are you my maid?" the female looks at Amber and smiles softly "yes, my name is Alise Love" Amber smiles and let out a giggle "that's a nice name" the maid bows down "thank you miss but now we should get ready" Amber nods and put her hair up and gets inside the bath, leaning against the edge and starts to relax.

(Royal dining hall)

Julian walks inside the dining hall while adjusting his black royal suit and his dark brown hair was combed back, he was wearing knee-high black boots, he sits in his seat and asks Bruno to bring the new information about county Xaya. The country also means kingdom. According to the map, each kingdom owns a huge amount of land that looks like a county. Bruno bows down and hands Julian a scroll that has the information.

One of the maidens place the tea try on the table and pour some tea into a cup and put two sugar cubes. She bows again and steps back as she took her place, stands straight. Julian narrows his eyes at Bruno as he places the papers on the table and picks up his cup of tea "where is she?" Bruno starts to startle "er…ahm…s-she is still in her room…" he kept his head down while closing his eyes tightly "tsk, put her in the dungeon and keep her hungry until she is ready to dine with me" Bruno tries to make Julian change his mind "b-but your majesty please wait a little longer…she will come to have breakfast with you" Julian narrows his eyes at Bruno "didn't you hear me? Or do you want me to repeat myself?" Bruno shakes his head "I heard you, your highness I will do as you said…" the moment when Bruno was about to exit the dining hall, Remy came into the room storming. He looks angry with his cheeks puffed up and pouting at the same time "women are mean!" Bruno watches him walking closer to Julian.

He hugs Julian from behind and nuzzles his head "juju loves me~ so I'm fine~" he smiles with his cat mouth "even if you told me that you got married this morning" he pouts and placing his chin up Julian's head.

(Early this morning)

Remi ran inside the Study room with his hands opened "JuJu!~ I missed you!" a woman came inside after Remi entered the room "excuse me your highness" she bows her head and greets the prince. Julian slapped Remi's face with the rolled-up contract paper "here, what do you think?" Remi grabbed the paper and read it "what!? This is a contract paper and! someone signed it!" he leaned closer to Julian while pointing at the signature and sobbing "how can you lie to me!?" he pushed Remi's face away from him "stay back" Remi fell on his knees being dramatic "I thought loved me…but you don't I'm hurt" he clenched his chest while crying. Julian looked at the women "so…how the boards holding on? Any signs of darkness?" Remi yelped while screaming like a child "hey! Don't ignore me!" Julian faced palmed and asked Bruno to take him out Bruno nodded and grabbed Remi dragging him out of the room. Julian's attention went back to the female who was standing in front of him "for now it's safe but we need to keep an eye on it" Julian nods in agreement.

(Now)

Amber sighs and held her beautiful light pink morning gown, she starts to breathe heavily because her chest is being squeezed in. she painfully walks towards the dining hall while lifting her dress a bit "this is too tight…I can't even breath in this" she murmurs. Alise leans closer to Amber and whispers "miss you should keep your back straight…" she grits her teeth and glares at Allies "yeah I go that!" they finally made to the dining hall.

Julian gets up from his seat after wiping his mouth. He looks at Amber "Tsk, throw her into the dungeon" Amber gasps and grit her teeth "what the hell!" two guards grab her and ready to take her back to the dungeon "I can't believe my first day in here is horrible than I thought" she starts to cry while being dragged out by the guards.
