He immediately fetched some water and sprinkled some on the flawless maiden before his eyes.
She opened her eyes and found herself in the hands of Arthur.
Instead of putting her down he was just staring at her sheepishly.
The girl shouted her lungs out the moment her eyes flung open. This caught the attention of the soldiers whose jaws droped after arriving at the scene.
The cold hearted chief is molesting a girl? Who could imagine that he was capable of such a thing.
" Amazing!" was the only remark from Roy.
The girl moved back after seeing Arthur's men .
She stiffened on her track when her back hit Arthur's firm chest.
Arthur noticed this and signaled his men to leave.
" Roy. Get her some clothes to change into and some food and drink."
" Right away chief."
The girl was relieved to have fallen into the hands of a chief and not some other hooligans.
" Please calm down. I will never hurt you."
said Arthur as Roy came back with the things he ordered.
"So what's your name and where are you from?"
She just kept quiet and continued munching on her bread.
Arthur decided to keep quiet and let her satisfy her hunger.
After finishing her food she looked at Arthur and wiped her mouth using the back of her delicate hand.
She jumped from her position the moment Arthur's fingers were close to her face.
" What do you think you're doing." asked the girl shock clearly visible on her face.
" You have some food on your face." answered Arthur calmly.
She wiped her face with her hands, which further dirtied her face.
Arthur just chuckled and stretched his hands to wipe the bread crumbs on her face and the corner of her mouth.
" It's done."
She shyly tucked her hair neatly behind her ear.
" You haven't answered my question.Who are you and where are you from."
" My name is Alicia. Alicia Milly. Daughter of the governor of Reis."
This was interesting. A princess wearing torn clothes running alone in the forest.
" Where are your father's soldiers and why are you not with him."
" Enough with the questions about me. I heard those men calling you chief. What town do you lead and under which governor."
" I'm not under any governor. I'm directly under the king." answered Arthur proudly.
Alicia roles her eyes at his arrogant answer.
" Don't underated my knowledge of the kingdom because of my clumsy behaviour."
Arthur just chuckled.
" So you know you are clumsy."
" How dare you..."
" That's good. I didn't know how you would react after I told you the truth."
She was left speechless by Arthur's boldness. Avery one was afraid of her from since she could understand herself. Offending her ment offending the governor.
But this handsome before her isn't afraid of offending her. Does he even know her father, or what he is capable of.
" Do you really know my father? Pray hard that he doesn't hear about you calling me clumsy.
It will be a pity if a guy as handsome as you to go to waste just like that."
Arthur raised his right brow. He couldn't help but want to see what her father was capable of.
As far as he knew. Charles the governor of Reis was not that famous for his might.
Although he is known for his mastery in planting spies and trade plans. Arthur knew nothing more about him.
" The river is safe you can clean there and change into these. It's the only thing available."
" I can't wear an armour when going to the king's party. Find me something else."
" You really are ungrateful." said Arthur.
"Whatever." she said and grabbed the clothes.
" Armour? That's my nightgown, not an armour."
complained Arthur silently.
She came back after like an hour.
" Were you washing off your skin? You took so long."
" Hey, that's so rude. I'm a girl, and a princess to add on it. It's obvious I'll take more time."
Arthur didn't know much about women but he has decided to learn about them through this mysterious creature.
