Chapter 4 - The Princess with the unusual Heartbeat

Princess Anastasia quickly withdraws from the stranger as Christiana her friend walks into the room. Christiana signs in relief. Thank goodness you're alive, 'Your Highness'. I was so scared something bad had happened to you. Anastasia stares inquisitively at the stranger. Who's he? she demanded to know. Christiana smiled. He's the hero who saved your life last night. Anastasia confused. I thought he was among the thugs who had us kidnapped? Of course not. She replied. Let me formally introduce you both. Lex meet Princess Anastasia. She's the daughter of King William. The ruler of the kingdom of Parma. Lex speaks up. I've heard about your father, 'My lady'. The strongest and most influential King among the 7 district kingdom. Loved by his citizens and said to have never lost a battle. Quite Impressive. I've always longed to meet him in person. Princess Anastasia replies. You haven't really said anything about yourself? What clan are you from and when you touched me earlier, why didn't I react to your touch? I prefer not to talk about my identity for now. He smiled. You should be glad I saved your life. Anastasia frowns. You like been mysterious, don't you? Too bad I don't find you attractive. Neither do I. Lex bluntly replies her. I'm only interested in knowing about your Father. He smiled. What a nuisance, she says. You're quite rude, 'My lady'. How do you intend to attract a noble man like myself with a personality as unruly as yours? He replies. Anastasia upset. I don't care what you think of me Mr.!..... You have no right to judge my character when you don't even know me! she blurted out. First impression matters, 'my lady'. If you go on with this impulsive attitude of yours, you end up living a very lonely and unhappy life. She exclaimed in anger! You're just a nobody! You have no right to tell me what to do. Christiana interrupts their conversation. How about we go have something to eat and then after, you both can feel more relaxed and talk in a more approachable manner? Lex replies. I will have to ask my chef to prepare something delicious for us to eat. Permit me to take my leave. He takes one final look at Princess Anastasia and then exits the room. What's that about, 'Your Highness'? Said Christiana. I noticed you were so emotionally sensitive around him, you even lost your cool? You like him, don't you? Princess Anastasia replies. You're crazy, Christiana. Why will you even think such? Ugh! I can't even tolerate him for a second. He's such an hassle. A very arrogant man like him don't have a right to speak ill of me. Christiana smiled. I don't think you dislike him 'your Highness'. Why don't you just get to know him and then, you will see he's a very nice guy. I doubt he has any ill feeling towards you observing the way he took proper care of you last night. Princess Anastasia surprised. He really did? She nodded. He took care of you all through the night. I doubt he even had a proper sleep..... Their conversation was interrupted as Lex's Chef rushes into the room in panic. We got trouble? What kind of trouble? Princess Anastasia asked. 'My master' is been interrogated by the guards your father had sent to fetch you. They think you're been held hostage by my master's men..... Christiana panics. Oh no! The King must have realized you've left the castle. I'm so dead! she begins to cry. Anastasia reassures them. You don't have to worry. I will go speak with the guards. She quickly walks out of the room to speak with the guards.
