Chapter 5 - Chapter 3 : The Calm Before a Storm

[Time skip : 7 years]

Young Lisa has shown amazing performances in both studies and magic lessons over the years.

It was 9:00am in the morning of a Sunday

Lisa : Come on why can't I beat you in this game that you created.

Royal Tutor : I know you are smart but you're not that smart.

Lisa : This game is very suspicious. Tell me where do you get the idea from anyway.

Royal Tutor : It's from Earth but you don't need it's whereabouts.

{7 years on Milkstars = 100 years on Earth}

Lisa : Please tell me I want to know

He starts telling her from her curiosity.

Royal Tutor : It is called "Weiqi"( go game).

Lisa : "'CONTINUE"'

She was impatient because he told only the name.

Royal Tutor : It is a game of strategy.

They were in the middle of the game.

The Royal Tutor was chewing his snacks noisely while Lisa racked her brains.

Lisa : How can you win this game all the time? Let me win once!!

Royal Tutor : You really aren't playing this seriously are you?

Lisa was embarassed because of the truth given by her mentor.

Lisa : You're right I'm not. This game looks easy but is so hard.

The game was made up of magic and the stones were made up of magical jewellery that Lisa hate a lot. The board made up of the wood.

Royal Tutor Thinking: No wonder I was playing so good.

Lisa : I guess I'll play seriously for you.

[Time skip : 3 hours]

Servant : It's time to eat the big hale your Highness.

Lisa : Oh!! So today it is a water animal.

Royal Tutor : How many times did I tell you that it's called a "fish" .

Lisa : Oh right I forgot. A "fish".

They entered the dining hall. It was so big that a more than 100 people would fit in it.

His Majesty : Lisa dear, did you take your medication?

Lisa : Yes I did Dad.

Royal Tutor : I gave her before she came here.

His Majesty : Oh ok. That's fine as long as she takes it once a day.

Servant : Today's lunch is the big hale "fish" and potato mash and salad.

His Majesty and Lisa : You may go now.

Royal Tutor laughs at this.

Lisa : What?? She says as she looks at her mentor.

Lisa : Dad always says that "You may go now", he never says "Thank you, you may go now"

His Majesty : We are the royals why do we have to say that?

Lisa : Don't exploit the name "Royals" for treating your people in a very rude manner.

His Majesty : Is everyone equal to you?

Lisa : Yes! Don't you know that I always said them to call me by my given name but no they always say " Your Highness is superior to us please don't make us equals". Only my mentor takes the right to call me by my given name.

Royal Tutor : You are embarassing me Lisa.

Lisa : See!!!

Pointing at the Royal Tutor when he called out her name.

By that time a servant comes in to inform something really important to His Majesty.

Servant : We have news your Majesty an official has come to give urgent news.

His Majesty : Say that I will come in 5 minutes.

Servant : Yes your Majesty.

Lisa : I think it is the Head of Ministry of War department who is calling you dad.

His Majesty : Yes I just checked. It just so happens to be him.

The king, Lisa and the Royal Tutor rushes to finish eating their lunch. The king rushes to the court room. The official rushes and kneels down.

Official : Greetings Your Majesty.

His Majesty : You may rise. Tell me what happened that you rushed to meet me.

Official : That unidentified kingdom to the west. I got news that they are attacking our border.

His Majesty : How many troops do we have on tthe west border?

Official : We have 10,000 troops.

His Majesty : How many troops do they have?

Lisa is hearing everything by telephaty.

Official : They are over 1,00,000 troops.

His Majesty : What have you been doing? Send our troops to the west border.

Official : Yes your Majesty.

Lisa telephatically says to the official : Hello this is the Princess. Please keep me updated on what is happening in the west.

Official telephatically responds : Yes your Highness.

His Majesty senses a familiar presence in his head.

His Majesty was thinking cautiously that he should give a letter to the servant for his daughter.
