Diane paced back and forth with the girls in front of her.
"And... With the way he stared I... I"
She couldn't explain the surprises that flooded her mind. Or maybe the prophet that Shihab took her to is a prophet of God.
What the hell is wrong with her?!
"Relax your highness. We will make sure they don't see us again"
"Don't!" Diane yells and they all look at her with their brows up high.
"Do that... What if they need help and what if they come to the palace... And... And see us again?" Diane tried to cover up her fear that these three girls has already inserted in her.
"Out! All of you!" she orders and they scramble out of her presence.
Diane pounces on her bed and thought of what she just said.
"What if they come to the palace and see us again?" She whisper out loud and release a sigh of anxiety and curiosity.
Soon, sleep crept unto her lids as she fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning in the Castle of Azariah, Thaddeus and Xelilah are seen walking to the room of Diane. He push open the door to see her brushing her hair and dressed up in a white dress.
"Good morning, brother, sister" Diane greets her siblings not looking at them or even bowing down to them, as a younger normal Princess would do.
And it's also a surprise seeing her wake up this early in the morning.
She flung her hair backwards after brushing it and then turned to her elder siblings who stood there and stared blankly at her.
"Is anything wrong?" she ask and Thaddeus and Xelilah look at each other.
She can tell that they are growing suspicious because of how happy she is. Wait... Is she happy?
She's just feeling a type of feeling that the men are coming...
That's if they do...
"Some travelers came into the Kingdom last night. They're looking for shelter. Father asked us to call you, all members of the Royal blood must be there" Thaddeus says and Diane heart jumped.
She turns to face her front, her mouth dropped immediately she faces her front and when she knew her siblings can't see her.
"I'll be there in a few minutes. Let me get a hairdo"
Xelilah nods and they both exit her room.
Diane quickly packed her hair in a long pony tail and adjusted the Royal dress on her. Just as she did that, the maids came in.
"Your late. Go back and make something for the travelers to eat"
The maids were shocked by the time Diane woke up. It's unlike the Princess Diane they know.
They stare at each other stunned but obey anyway.
Diane walks out of the room and walk down the hallway to the throne room, just to meet her girls, walking towards her room.
"Your highness... "
"I have heard. And I am pretty sure that it is them" Diane says as she and the girls rushes to the throne room in curiosity.
"It would be a pleasure seeing that guy that talks too much" Esther commented and all the girls, including Diane looked back at her with a teasy smile.
Unlike the all brave and courageous Esther they know that always says she don't like a person when they tease her, and just walk away... Esther just smile like a crazy girl with two pinkies exploding on both cheeks.
"Yeah... Can't wait to see you on your wedding day" Vilva said sarcastically and Esther groaned playfully.
They all laughed as they entered the throne room.
"Good morning, Father." Diane says with a little bow as she strode off to her throne
"Good morning, Darling. How was your night?"
The girls bowed deeply and walked to the side of the throne of Diane.
"Pleasant" Diane say as she sat on her throne and looked at Roy and Andrew who also stared at her.
"What?"
"You look excited today. Everything all right?"
NOPE!!!
"I guarantee you. It is" Diane says and stare straight ahead, causing her brothers to look at themselves and shrug.
"Your Highnesses, the travelers have arrived"
Diane looks at the door, expectant of whatever comes her way.
Though, she thought of it like that, she still innocently stared down at her legs and her heart is racing speedily.
"Good day your Majesty"
That's no one they know!
Diane raise her head just to see a tattered looking man with white hair standing in front of them. She looked at Esther and the rest and the same expression of disappointment is all over their faces.
"I am Horn and I have come to... "
"Excuse me? You call yourself Horn?" Xelilah asks and he nods respectfully.
This guy must be a bull, Diane thought.
"I am part of the seven seas travelers and I have come here to ask for shelter for just two weeks and I will be on my way"
The King smiles wholeheartedly. His kind and right attitude towards him is unexpectant yet very pleasant.
"Please sit here" Luke says and the man nods and takes a seat by the left hand side, where the thrones of Xelilah and Thaddeus were.
Or maybe he is not who they thought.
Diane head went down again and she just sighed. She takes a look at her girls that have their heads bowed.
"Good day, your Majesties"
Th-That Voice! It's them!!!
Diane and her girls shot their heads up and they all look at each other perplexed.
Ephesus appeared shocked as his mouth nearly dropped and so with his men.
So she's the Princess? No wonder she behaved the way she did last night, he reasoned.
Esther eyes Miles and Miles squints his eyes at her, making her to feel a cold shiver pass through her veins.
She looks like she might die if she don't strangle him on a plain white bed.
Wait... Why is she thinking of a bed? What is wrong with her.
Ephesus and Diane stare at each other until Ephesus returns his gaze to the King and spoke to him.
