Princess Cindy had told me the previous day that, she'll be going to a business meeting in town with her parents and she promised to come back early so that I won't feel lonely but I was already feeling lonely. The only person I know I would have loved talking to was Prince George but because I was trying to keep off him, I decided to stay in the room until the Princess and her parents return. After all, they're not gone forever. I tried to engage myself in what I loved doing, singing, but I needed a perfect location to express my feelings the more. Yes! The garden is perfect…No, what if Prince George is still there? Where else could I possibly go? Yeah, I'll go to the river side at the far side of the palace. Which place could be more perfect than this one? I got dressed in a club top,shorts (both hot pink) and a summer hat which was decorated with Lily, Rose and Sunflower with a white and pink sneakers. I then sneaked out of the house to the river side but before I could get there, I tried to use the magnifying glass I took from the Princess's discovery box, to my surprise, I saw Prince George shaking an armed man who looked like he was coming for a war. They engaged in a conversation which I wanted to hear because they looked suspicious to me. So I decided to use my far listening ability after a long time. Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you that I have a super power which I consider to be one of my many talents so I closed my eyes very hard, I listened carefully and I could hear all that they were saying. So all along the Prince was planning to take over this kingdom by claiming to come on a business meeting with them. Goodness, how can I fall in love with such a jerk. Without wasting much time, I raced back to the palace and sounded the emergency alarm which can only be heard in the palace. All the soldiers dressed in their war attires and gathered. I told their commander about everything I saw and heard, he asked me for proved and I took him to the rock where I stood before seeing and hearing everything, but this time, they were matching towards the palace so the commander ordered his men to hide in the bushes, in case it was a trap to attack them secretly. Prince George's soldiers used a cherry bomb to break the back door that was there, this proved to all of us that they were coming to attack us indeed so the commander ordered our soldiers,"Soldiers, attack!!" It was as if I was watching a blockbuster movie, the soldiers started fighting with swords and from what I can see, our soldiers were the ones leading the fight because Prince George's soldiers who were in a blue attire were the ones falling much and our soldiers who were in pink and blue were just diving their swords into their enemies body as if they aren't humans. I then sneaked out of the bush with the intention of entering the palace to ensure the safety of the members, but before I could enter, I saw Prince George together with two soldiers entering the palace. I had wanted to call one of the soldiers to follow me but they were too busy to even look elsewhere, so I decided to take the bull by its horn myself. An idea popped into my head at once so I went to the Royal Kitchen, I made them pour hot pepper into the boiled water they had prepared. We shared it into some old water guns I found in the Princess's discovery box. I shared it among them where each and every one of us had two of the water guns. Quietly, we walked to the Royal Bedroom, where the King and Queen sleeps. It was slightly opened so I tried to peep in, when I did, I saw the Prince seriously searching for something in the King's wardrobe. With anger, I yelled,"Let's attack them!" They all began to scream, barged into the room and pointed our water guns at them but before I could order them to pour the water on them, Prince George used a sword to cut me. It went deep into my body and I felt the pain in my heart, my fellow mere warriors, upon seeing my state didn't wait for me to tell them to attack before they poured the boiled water mixed with the hot pepper into their eyes. I gave them a rope to tie the three men and should also collect their swords from them. The Chief Cook, went to take a first aid kit and treated my wound for me. Few minutes later, we heard some people singing and their voice was drawing nearer to the palace. I sent one of the maids to go and get the chief commander. She left, few minutes later, the maid walked in with the chief commander. They took the betrayers away and locked them in the dungeon. Our work was done but we had to clean the palace before the Princess and her Family return. It was really fun helping the maids do the work. We mopped the Royal Bedroom, packed the documents that were scattered on the floor and made everything sparkling in the room. Later, I sent some of the maids to go and wash the utensils while I went with the others to fix the gate the guards were fixing. While trying to fix the gate, an old woman who was Cindy's nanny walked to me and said," I want to talk to you dear." I held her and we went to sit on a chair beside the gate."You wanted to talk to me right? What do you have to say nanny?" I said calmly. She placed her hands on my shoulders and began,"My daughter, what you did really surprised me. For so long, thus, after the death of Alexandra Cooper, no one has ever been able to lay down his life for the safety of this palace and Kingdom as a whole." Hearing this, I wanted to know more about this Alexandra Cooper. Not to forget, I am a history student who loves hearing stories of the past so I asked,"What did he do, nanny?" With her quivering voice, she answered," Once upon a long time, Alexandra Cooper was the chief commander of Kingdom Elamite. This place is called Elamite, that is why your high school is called Elamite High School. Well, chief commander Alexandra was a very dedicated and committed soldier. He goes to war with or without the then King but comes back victorious. One faithful day, it was a very terrible fight, babies, kids, women and a whole lot of people were killed. The then King, King Louie Anderson was almost killed along with his son, the father of the King now but Alexandra got in the way and got killed by their enemies while the King and the Prince ran to safety. That is why we celebrate…" "Alexandra Cooper Sacrifice day?" I chipped in and she nodded. That was a celebration that we all partake in school and it's the most interesting part of High School. I wanted to get more clarifications about the celebration but when I turned she was already gone. Princess Cindy had told me that she just disappears when she's talking to you. As I was thinking about how wonderful the story was, a guard walked in and said,"Ma'am, please the commander demands your presence right now," he said, I nodded and I stood up and followed him. When we got to the gate which they were building, I saw that they were almost done but before I could bring out any suggestion, my phone rang. When I took it I saw that it was Cindy that was calling. I signaled the palace guards to stop hitting the hammer or stop making any noise so that she won't get any suspicious of me. I then answered the call,"Hello Princess Cindy, how come you are not back from the meeting yet?" "Sorry Valerie Kay, the meeting had delayed so my parents and I will be staying here until tomorrow and because it is really dangerous for the royal family to travel late in the evening, we could have gotten killed by the jealous people of our kingdom, Kingdom Elamite. They have not even started with the meeting yet. I am really sorry Valerie Kay," she said sorrowfully. Heaven knows I was happy that we could fix the whole place before they come back, but as a concerned person, I had to act like a sad person. "Really? So it means that you'll be coming here tomorrow? Morning, afternoon or evening?" I said sadly. In a low tone she replied,"Early in the afternoon Valerie Kay. Please take care of yourself, the Palace and the people in it."
"Do not worry Princess Cindy, I'll make your perspective view about me a splendid one dear," I convinced her. She giggled and said,"You never cease to amaze me Valerie Kay. Okay, take care sis, I love you." With a beam of smile on my face, I said,"I love you too sis. I'm hanging up now. Don't be late tomorrow okay. Have a good night sleep, sweet dreams and sleep tight dear. Bye!" I then hanged up the call. With a confident smile, I walked back to where they were building the gate. The commander walked to me and greeted,"My lady, what a blessing you are to this great Kingdom, Elamite is very honoured to have you here with us Miss Valerie Kay." My head would have exploded with all the praises coming into it but thank God that the adhesive used to put head together was too strong for the exploding of it. I just smiled and answered,"The pleasure is mine commander. In these few days that I've come here. I have learnt that, love, peace togetherness among others is what we need as humans to lead a successful life. That's how come I became a saviour today." Everybody giggled but the commander and I laughed out loud. The commander asked me to command them as they rebuild the gate. Later, I went to the Royal Kitchen and I told the Royal Cook to prepare a special meal for the victory of our Kingdom. She agreed to my suggestion and they started preparing the meal for the whole palace. It was exactly two hours since I went to tell the kitchen staffs to prepare the meal and it is an hour away from midday. I went back to the kitchen to ensure that they've prepared the meal or not. As I reached the entrance of the kitchen, I could smell the aroma of the food and when I entered the kitchen, the food was mouthwatering. They prepared different types of dishes which no one could hesitate to swallow them. They also prepared an appetizer, so with the help of some Royal Servers, we took them on a tray, got out to where they were building the dessert to them. They were all happy with the food. It was a chicken mousse, my favourite, so I gulped a few pieces.
They were all thanking me from time to time for the special food I've prepared for them. As I was sharing the meal, one of the guards pleaded,"Ma'am, can I please take two of these pieces to my kids in the house? It is very delicious." With the kind of tone and approach he used, I felt pity for him, so I ordered one of the maids to get a bag full of the appetizer to him. He thank me so much that my head would have burst. At midday exactly, when the work was halfway through, I made the maids share the meal for them. Everyone ate well and they continued the work.
