Alastair stopped his practice and walked towards the girl at once. He was mesmerized by the way she looked. The beige and golden dress made her look all the more angelic and he could not stop his heart from fluttering excitement and joy. He was happy to see her this early in the morning. However, the next moment he frowned when he realized that the girl had gotten up this early.
"Samantha," He spoke even before she could greet him. "Why did you get up this early, darling?"
"Greetings, Your Highness. Good morning." Samantha greeted him with a bow and stared at the man who was now in the attire of a warrior. His black and brown leather attire made him look more domineering and powerful and she was in awe to see his commanding stance.
"Good morning, my sweet girl. Did you sleep well?" He queried and bent forward so that she was at his eye level. His hands were behind his back while he clutched his sword hard.
