Chereads / Ajay Allan: The Journey Of Allan / Chapter 52 - Introduction

Chapter 52 - Introduction

A fine lady made her way through corridor of the castle of Kingdom Renhard to a certain someone's room.

"Her majesty, Princess Lucia has arrived!"

A knight guarding the room informed as he opens the door of room he was guarding.

As Lucia enters the room, she witnessed a familiar sight.

"Aww c'mon, I don't like this at all. There is not much of the flavour, it's just so plain!"

A lady, on bed complained about the meal as the maid notices Lucia.

"Her highness, what brings you here?"

"Oh, Lucy... What are you doing here? Came to check me out."

"Yes, that is what I am exactly here for but, Reena... have you ate something yet?"

"Ah, that... Y-Yeah I—"

"No she hasn't," The maid, also the incharge of taking care of Reena replied.

"Lady Reena refuse to eat what is prepared for her,"

"You can't expect me to eat 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀! It would be better if I just drink plenty of water,"

"Reena. You have to eat what they are providing you. It's for your own good. You are still recovering so it would be much better if you have something light yet nutritious. Just close your eyes and eat it."

"But I don't like Khichdi!"

"Stop complaining and eat already!"

"But–"

"I said just EAT."

"But Lucy—"

"𝗘.𝗔.𝗧." With dead eyes, Lucia plead to Reena.

"Scary~ OK, I'll be good girl and eat this plain Khichdi so please don't scare me like that,"

"That's my sweet little Reena for you!"

"Who is yours?! By the way, where is he?"

"By 'he', who?"

"Don't play dumb! I am asking about 𝗵𝗶𝗺."

"Huh... Look at yourself, you don't even remember the name of your saviour."

"I know! I just can't remember it!"

"Isn't that even worse,"

"Whatever... Just answer the question already!"

"My my, why so impatient?" Lucia poked Reena.

"Don't give me that cheeky smile! I just want to thank him,"

"Thank him for what?" Lucia smiled even wider.

"Of course for saving my life, and... also for taking care of my, purity..." Reena said last part as she turned her head away.

This made Lucia all flustered.

"W-Wait, W-What do you mean by, 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆?! Wh-Whatever you talking about explain!"

"Hoh~"

With that, Reena got the upper hand.

"I mean exactly what I said. My Purity," Reena then put her hands on her cheeks and pretend to be embarrassed.

This made Lucia loose her composure as she stiffened up.

"Wh-Wha. H-How. Th-That! N-No, no, no, no, No! That. Impossible! Im-Impossible! Y-Yes, mhm, ye-yeah. Completely, Impossible. Yes. Im-possible? I-I-I-I, It is possible! Argh!!!"

Lucia was all over the as tried to process all of Reena's words and tried to imagine yet was unable to do so.

Reena realised that Lucia couldn't stand her teasing as Lucia's eyes were spinning!

Reena stopped her train of thoughts as she heard Lucia muttering without any sense of world.

"Crap! I totally forgot about her... L-Lucy, you hear me?! I-I, I was just messing with you! Y-You don't have to take my each and every word so sincerely! No! Don't even take my entire existence seriously! Think that I nothing more than just an idiot and ignore me completely!"

"...H-Huh, I think last part was a bit too much even if you say that in self deprecating manner," Lucia snapped out of her processing as she heard Reena calling her out loud.

"You finally got on the right mind... Geez, look at yourself acting like 12 years old,"

"I-It's not my fault... Infact, you said something that wasn't legitimate element!"

"Really? I don't think siad something weird, it might be different if you take it in the wrong way..."

Reena rolled her eyes around the from as the battle continued.

"Wh-What?! Somebody, please help! A devil right here is bullying me!"

"Now now, don't be a hypocrite. Moreover, you haven't answered my question yet,"

Reena changed the topic as she thought it would be appropriate to not tease Lucia anymore.

"Ah that... Allan said he'll be on leave today,"

"And it's allowed?"

"He said that though he lifted your curse, it caused much strain upon his body in process. That he needs rest today and is said to be left alone so he could recover efficiently. Considering how much of a huge favor he has done, I didn't think it was something to gave a second thought about."

"Well, you do have a point... I must be a burden on everyone for these years, right? I think I have my share of apology to everyone..."

Reena was detached by the fact that all these years she was a dead weight on her loved ones.

"Reena! Don't say horrible things! You hear me?! It's not your fault, OK?! This is all because of that lowest of lowest who casted that stupid curse upon you!"

Reena witnessed flames in Lucia's eyes

"Look here! I promise this to you that I will drag those wicked to your feet and then they'll realise who is the real boss. So, don't you dare to blame yourself!"

Reena was speechless by the Lucia's commitment as she stared at her and smiled.

𝘋𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘮𝘮𝘯 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘶𝘶, 𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘢!

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭! 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘭!

"You hear me, Reena?!"

"...Y-Yeah, I did. Thank you, Lucy. It must be god's blessing that I have a sister like youu!"

After that, both chat all day long... Enjoying their fullest.

"That being said, it's about time for that right..."

"Yeah... For the long awaited tournament of braves..."

"This time, there will be a show for sure..."

"Yeah, I am sure about it... Ah!"

"What is it Lucy?"

"I forgot to tell you this, Brother Raion is on his way to capital,"

"Now, that the news..."

"Are going to cheer for your brother this time?"

"Who knows? He is an idiot. Egoistic,"

"Hehehe... But you don't hate him though,"

"Well... I don't know,"

"Let's hope for his safe arrival..."

"Yeah, hope so." As Reena looked outside the window.
