It has been four long days, I have been sitting in this carriage for four long days! This is basic torture, plus, the ride was very boring because Betty kept discussing me about politics and Anastasia has been scolding me because I wasn't being proper, who cares if I slouch? Duh, Anastasia does, and my only fun friend, dear Molly, she's road sick, for four days too, I have been with these two nerds for four long days. If Molly didn't have road sick his ride would have been fun.
"Betty? How long are we going to sit here? We might as well live here" I complained
"As I said my Lady, soon," She said calmly as she flicks pages of the book she forced me to read yesterday
"You said that yesterday, and the other day, and the day we left, you even dragged me out the palace because in a hurry because you said it was 'urgent' so we need to leave as soon as possible" I whined banging my head on the wall
Anastasia stopped my head from banging "Now now my Lady, this is unlike you, you normally are more proper and mannered than we are, and you adjust well on certain situations"
"Everyone can change Anastasia, including you" I removed her hand from my forehead and banged my head on the wall once again
"Didn't Leijin said that my shoulders are a real-life human pamperer?" I whispered to myself "Then can I pamper myself? If I could just-" I tried placing my chin on my shoulder as hard as I could
"Lady Liezel has been acting strangely since she bumped her head" Anastasia's thoughts
"I hope that bump on a tree didn't change the poor Ladies mind, she's acting her opposite self, it makes me worried *sob*" Betty's thoughts
"Is Lady Liezel this weird?" Molly's thoughts
"Ugh, why won't my chin rest in my shoulder! This is frustrating, it's making me insane!!" I groaned
Wait, why is everyone so quiet, except Molly she doesn't have the energy to speak.
And why are they all staring at me like that? Molly seems perplexed while Anastasia is studying me and Bettys, crying?
"Uh, why are y'all staring at me like that? And why are you crying, Betty?"
Anastasia and Betty shook their head getting out if they're deep thoughts
"It's nothing your highness" Anastasia averted her gaze at me and fixated it on the window
"Is her majesty really like that-?" Molly innocently asked but was stop because Anastasia covered her mouth
"I'm sorry my Lady, Molly is too young, and she still doesn't know when to talk or not and has yet no proper manners" Anastasia apologize trying her best to smile while Molly is busy escaping from her grasp
"No it's okay, it's really okay, what's in your thoughts, come on, tell me, after all, we're friends. Right?"
"I'm just worried about you your highness" Betty tried to force his tears away
"I told you it's really oka- Ahhh!"
There was an explosion and the carriage suddenly flipped and we were all shaken up and down like how you mix cheese and popcorn.
"Ouch" I rubbed my head, and I could feel the large bump forming
"My Lady *cough cough*" Betty cried
"I'm okay! I'm okay, at least I'm alive" I re reassured them
I raised my head to look at the situation of the others and it looked like Betty was thrown out by the door and Anastasia was beside me and Molly was nowhere to be seen. And there was also a lot of dust that made us cough.
Did she flew out the window?
*Cough cough*
A lot of guards kept calling for my name and I kept answering, they first took Anastasia and Betty out because they were the closest to the exit and then me.
"Oh my Lady" Betty cried out as she hugged me to the point that it's very hard to breathe
"Betty- Be-, I can't breath" I patted her back
"Oh, I'm so sorry"
"It's okay"
"Are you badly hurt? Are you injured?" Betty checked my body throughout
"Just a bump in my head and a bruise here and there, nothing serious"
"Just a bruise? This is serious! It could affect Lady's fragile skin!"
"It's not that critical, you should probably go and check Anastasia and, wait, where is Molly?"
"She's fine, she fell in the pond when the carriage tripled, lucky her, just wet" Anastasia replied as she fixed her hair
"Fell in a pond? I'm jealous, it's actually kind of hot and I need cooling"
"There's no time for cooling, we must heal your bruises my lady" Betty said
"Pardon me my Lady but we really need to make a decision now, we were bombed on our way to the Western Palace and all of our carriages are broken and we lost all our horses and there are only a few guards left" The Knight informed us
"And it's also almost dark" Anastasia added
"Who would dare and try to assassinate the Princess of the Southern and Western Kingdom of the East?" Betty stood angrily
"Dare shdjelwowjd" Molly repeated
She just fell in the water and now she's half-drunk?
"There's no point Betty, where still defenseless, our guards have decreased and our carriages and horse are gone 'Curse this assassin for involving the horse's life. We got three choices, first stay here for the night and call for help risking our life because of the decrease of defense, or second, we all stay here and get rescued, and thirdly" I sighed " Walk our way to the palace"
"All seems a pretty bad idea" Molly suggested
"Except for number 3," Anastasia said "The palace is 7 kilometers away, if we walk there without stops, was might arrive there before dark"
I knew she was smart, but I'm lazy, so...
"What? 7km?" Betty was totally shook
"Well, we don't really have a choice, I don't wanna get eaten by bats so, let's go!" I announced marching forward
"Guards and servants, please carry the luggage and let us continue our journey" Anastasia announced
The guards and servants picked up the fine luggage and carried them.
"Wait what? My lady!" Betty shouted as she ran to catch up with me "You still have a bruise, it's a long walk, please ride on my back"
"What? Look at you, you all bruised up? Why would I accept your piggyback ride, plus, if I do accept it, we're just gonna add more bruises to our collection"
"But my lady-"
"Shhhhh"
And we are argued our way to the Western Palace
